Now that the Arma 3 Contact expansion is out, owners finally get to play the "First Contact" singleplayer campaign. We’re definitely still interested to hear your feedback. If you encounter specific issues, please consider filing a Feedback Tracker ticket. Of course other playable content, meaning the Livonia multiplayer modes, can be discussed here as well. For general expansion feedback we prefer this thread. While it may be hard to avoid spoilers entirely in this thread, try to use the spoiler widget to encompass plot points. How to access the campaign? The campaign can only be played using Contact's 'Total Conversion' mode. This mode makes changes to various parts of Arma 3 and is primarily intended for the campaign, not for regular sandbox usage nor multiplayer. Once in, you simply press PLAY. There are several ways to launch Arma 3 in that mode: In the Launcher: press the PLAY CONTACT button. In the Launcher, open the DLC page, select and enable Contact, then press PLAY. For advanced use cases, launch the game with -mod=Contact

Please use this thread for discussion specific to the Release Candidate (RC) branch on Steam, when it's available in the weeks leading up to a release. The preferred method of reporting issues in that build is the Feedback Tracker. Thanks!

I believe this is a known issue that should get resolved in the next update. Regarding your crashes, you have tried a Steam local file cache verification? Any update can cause data corruption via the delta-patching process.

Dear community, On behalf of its primary initiator and developer, Scott Alsworth, we'd like to welcome you to the Arma 3 Art of War DLC. This charity DLC is the result of the Art of War contest we hosted last year. One of its highlights is therefore a showcase of the splendid creative contributions by many of you. Thank you again for your pieces of art! 🎨 As we covered in our most recent SITREP, we decided to add to the content of this DLC by producing a set of assets related to the contest themes. We hope you'll enjoy this mix of premium and platform content! We invite you to buy this DLC and in doing so offer your contribution to the International Committee of the Red Cross (all of our revenue from this DLC will be donated to them). After a fundraising period of about 10-12 months, this DLC will become free to all players. Note: owners of the Supporter Edition of Arma 3 (no longer available) will receive this DLC for free, though they could still consider buying a copy for a friend as gift 👼 How to access the showcases? While spoilers may be less applicable to the showcases in this DLC, please consider using the spoiler widget when discussing the gameplay moments. Main Menu: SINGLEPLAYER > SHOWCASES Art of War (anyone can visit) Cultural Property (owners only) How to access the assets? Main Menu: Shift + P In the DLC Content Browser, select Art of War, and explore its contents. Some assets have a TRY button that will open the asset in … Main Menu: TUTORIALS > VIRTUAL ARSENAL Each asset category shows the appropriate DLC / mod icons behind each asset for easy identification. Use Sort by mod to make it even easier to find them. Note: in this mode you should be able to preview the assets without DLC ownership. Main Menu: EDITOR In the Asset Browser on the right, all assets are marked by the DLC / mod icon. Use the Filter by mods option and select Arma 3 Art of War. What assets are available?
