    Can we have the gallery building available as a composition?

    I could imagine this being a Workshop composition that we can publish post-release. Do you imagine it being with / without the artworks and such, or just the structures?

    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! 🎨

     

    Arma 3 Art of War DLC

     

    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.

    NOTES

    • We've opened a general Arma 3 Art of War DLC feedback thread, where we invite you to discuss the charity DLC in general, as well as its playable content and assets. Specific bugs are most welcome on Feedback Tracker.
    • Arma 3 Art of War DLC will not use pre-ordering, so it cannot be purchased until its release. Arma 3 Supporter Edition owners should receive now have ownership however (please allow some time for this to propagate in Steam).
      • This also means in-game links to store and other web pages do not work yet.
      • Remember that even premium assets can be tried without restriction in Virtual Arsenal!

    Did this slip in by accident and / or can we expect it to be updated soon™?

    The black P07 is part of a few 2.00 reskins were adding. It has the correct inventory icon in the internal version. We've had Dev-Branch paused for some "logistical issues", but look to resume it soon (along with the 2.00 RC) 😎

    good afternoon. is there a plan to add a co-op mode for 2-4 players? that would be really cool.

    Co-op is generally cool for sure, but unfortunately we will not be developing such version of Old Man (it would be also very complex, given the large-scale open-world nature) 😓

    Can anyone point me to instructions how to back up / continue playing with the old version? I believe I'm close to the end of the mission and just lost the ability to play due to the update making savegaves not work anymore.

    At the moment the beta is still on Workshop, but we'll remove the data there today or tomorrow, so consider copying it somewhere manually (or else Steam will automatically update it).

    You can use the Legacy Branch for 1.96 on Arma 3 itself to have a compatible game version (see the SPOTREP with details).
