Ok. That stuck Eliminate Officer task was probably hiccup caused by friend who killed him with grenade and disconnected. We completed whole mission yesterday without any issues and EXFIL worked. I love this mission 🙂

Just tested save in single player and it only saves finished objectives. All other resets. Even deliver intel objective missing red exclamation marks where is possible to find intel.

Didn't test save yet @TetNL bah sad if it isn't working as advertised from patch notes. From today playthrough, Support Attack is fixed but Eliminate Target at Figaro got stuck, we killed officer, saw his corpse that later despawned, cleared whole town, task never finished.

Wanted collect more detailed info for this and meanwhile I read today it was fixed together with save function. Thanks a lot BI!

Siege of Athira Persistent survival PVE/PVP SP/Hosted MP (10 players)/Dedicated MP mission (10 players) It is something I always wanted to play. Basically you are surviving NATO soldier in besieged town. Town is besieged by CSAT and inside you are trapped with few surviving guerrillas resistance. Groups/singles of guerrillas fight each other in town and you need to go out from your hideout under town to find equipment and food. Food is found at houses furniture and equipment usually on dead bodies or guerrilla secret boxes scattered around town.Every raid that last 90m you need go out and then find shelter entrance randomly scattered around the town to get back to your underground hideout. If you die in town everything you had with you is lost and you born as new NATO survivor. Everything that is stored in hideout stash is safe for your next life. You cannot escape town cos CSAT snipers and there is zone between town and factory that you need be careful to cross it. During night you can use chemlights and attach it on you or wait for CSAT flare for snipers above town or use gun lamp or if lucky NVG.Only vanilla ARMA 3 is needed. No mods and no DLCs are required. Your progress is saved automatically in SP/MP.Enjoy and report all experience/bugs/ideas. As I am not native please report any text corrections needed.

Accidentally deleted original workshop item during one of updates years ago. Here is new one: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2625078548

Steam refused my refund request twice. Looks like vicious circle.

Hello, Is it just me or current Arma 3 version broke displaying mission in Scenarios selection UI? There is just filename + island name and no more title, image and description shown there. it is true for local missions in your Arma 3\Missions folder (pbo mission files you place here or export from editor as single player). Steam workshop missions displaying ok. No matter if I define name/image/description in description.ext or in mission editor. This info is not displayed.

Just finished campaign and beside some FPS drops and small non-critical bugs here and there I totally loved it for story. FPS drops and small bugs didn't turned me away as I expected even worse give open world nature of missions. It had fresh approach and game mechanics for Arma DLC. My finding about alien behavior:

v2.00 released.

Just returned from vacation today and see Contact is out so I downloaded it and started Contact campaign first mission and bang! I got sound audio problem when looking directly or I am turned back to speaking character NPC - then there is no talk sound. I need look little left or right to NPC to be able to hear it. Known bug ?

Jeez I am idiot. Too hot last days. After windows 1903 update my soundlbaster reverted to 5.1 instead headphones mode so I lost middle sounds. All good! I was victim of 3 day out of internet vacation syndrome.

Released v1.98 - Enabled createVehicleLocal after ARMA3 1.95 patch

Yep exactly what the_one_and_only_Venator said. That second house is like three floor building. In the moment I placed myself into terrain I felt like garden gnome. To me, houses and some other assets like wooden fences are 15%-20% bigger than they should be and I don't like it. It looks simply stupid in milsim.

I like idea so much. Just tried new map in Dev branch and to me some houses scale are completely off. Too big

Thanks viperBAT44, campaing already finished 😉

You are right. I forgot about that. I don't think it is wise anyway.

Just remap Next Target Command R to other key (I used Y) as it shares R key with Reload action so as soon you command reload R you also tell gunner to unlock target. Why default key map is like that is beyond my imagination.

Yeah ARMA 3 tanks missing Gunner Override for Commander. It is so so with AI gunner and pretty bad with human gunner as he will constantly throw your commander's peri off. We solved it by agreeing human gunner will not move and scan for targets unless human commander tell him to do or command fire. Steel Beasts have this Gunner Override for Commander palm switch nicely implemented. I wish we have same override in Arma 3 Tanks that will work for AI and human gunners. Manual reload is actually improvement - You can load HEAT instead do not need unload automatically loaded round first as before. As you wrote it is quite useful.

This has been pasted on Discord: For server admins: Install GM dedicated server via steamCMD: +app_update 233780 -beta creatordlc " validate +quit Launch it via -mod=gm;

Please, anyone know how to lase range target as gunner in Leopard? Laser ranger (T) only works when I switch to coax MG, with main gun there is only manual entry (PgDown/PgUp). Am I missing something? Edit: Got reply on Discord. It is bug and Leopards should be without laser ranger. Will be fixed.

Only let down for me is that tanks are missing interiors and Shilka radar dome doesn't move 😞

I found second mission surprisingly fun.
