Sometimes it's useful to discuss updates to the Steam Development branch in one centralized place. Let's use this thread for that. The changelog thread can stay clean and do its thing. It mainly serves for our team to rapidly see if a daily update is very broken or very epic :ph34r: Actual issue reporting should still happen via the Feedback Tracker of course. Thank you!

We have released an Arma 3 Czech Veterans Pack, in collaboration with Civilisté děkují za službu ("Civilians thank soldiers"), to honor those who have served or are currently serving in the military. We would like to invite our community to create screenshots using this small pack of re-skinned assets. Shots should at least depict the special event logo. It represents the remembrance poppy, an international symbol often used for veterans days, and the lion from the Czech coat of arms. On Veterans Day (Nov. 11th), we will be creating a collage of the screenshots submitted. The top submissions will receive prizes, as well a special place in our Arma 3 Lars Blanken Gallery (from the Art of War Charity Pack) 🖼️ EDIT: On Veterans Day 2023, we've published a collage of the submissions. Many thanks to all of you for your support! Our recommendation is to use this pack in combination with the unofficial ACR_A3 - Army of the Czech Republic mod, which brings various Czech vehicles, uniforms, and other assets to Arma 3. Please note that the images do not have to necessarily depict the Czech military. You can depict members of your own country of choice – you will just need to feature the special event logo. Obviously, images containing ripped mod or IP infringing content will not be accepted, and images must be respectful and appropriate to the context and the spirit of Veterans Day. If you'd like to participate, download the pack from the Steam Workshop, create your screenshot in the Eden Editor, and reply to this post with your submission. If you'd like to share your screenshot elsewhere, do be sure to tag it with #Players4Veterans! For a bit of inspiration, check out this screenshot by our very own Scott Alsworth:

In this thread we'll try to describe updates happening in the Development branch of Arma 3. This changelog is not complete, nor confirmed to be working as advertised. Again, Development branch does not pass internal QA before publication. Stick with main branch if you do not want to deal with the (big) potential issues and frequent data transfers. Feel free to discuss the updates to this branch in the relevant thread. 12-03-2013 Cross-joining default and Development branch disabled in MP Ifrit config class names changed to O_Ifrit_F and similar Various artwork fixes and tweaks in materials, textures and passenger animations Active Development branch is now indicated in the main menu Showcase: Helicopters - little optimization and conversation timings Various other showcase fixes Multiple crash opportunities fixed First tests of shadow improvements

Thank you all for the submissions. We've published a collage on Veterans Day today. Later we'll reveal our favorites and some prizes, including a spot in the Lars Blanken Gallery in update 2.16. Splendid work!

Due to restrictions for new forum users, you may need to upload it to an external service (Imgur, X, etc.) and add a link here. Would that be an option for you?
