Dear community, On March 2nd, we released a Charity Bundle featuring Arma 3 and Laws of War DLC. This DLC was chosen as a reminder to adhere to the rules of war through the introduction of the principles of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). This includes the prevention of threats to civilian lives and infrastructure and the protection of humanitarian actions. The Charity Bundle was initially scheduled to be available for two weeks. However, after those two weeks, we decided to extend the fundraiser period by another week, until the 23rd of March, so we could help more. In three weeks, with the help and support of our community, we managed to raise an incredible $38,612 through the Charity Bundle. All of the net revenue will be sent to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for the support of people affected by the war in Ukraine. If you were unable to buy the bundle in time, and would still like to offer support, you can donate directly at https://www.icrc.org/en/donate/ukraine. We would like to thank our community and everyone who bought the Charity Bundle! We greatly appreciate your support and hope the war will have a peaceful resolution soon.

Dear Community, We recently disabled Voice Over Network (VON) on all Official Arma 3 servers. This action was taken due to technical issues affecting player safety. We are currently investigating a solution, but we cannot provide an exact date as to when VON will be re-enabled on Official Arma 3 servers. We are sorry for this inconvenience as we realize voice communications are important to play together effectively. We will update you when we know more.
