Hello, the Visual Upgrade has recently been enabled in the Dev-Branch. Please use this thread for providing your splendid feedback and suggestions. Thanks!

There is a potential progress on the issue some players are experiencing (drastic performance drops which only a game restart fixes). We have reports from some players that an updated version of a memory allocator fixes these drops. Since the version is still very fresh and the changes to it are of a major character, we would like to ask you, the community, to hep us participate on the test. Those who are experiencing the issue, please download the allocator through the link provided below and follow the steps: Download the memory allocator here Make sure you are on the Main Branch and are not using the -mod=malloc start-up parameter Replace your current tbb4malloc_bi.dll with the new one in your Arma 3 Steam folder Here's how to do it: Run the game as usual Report as a reply to this thread whether there has been an improvement To revert back to the default allocator, simply verify your game data via Steam. Please post a reply to this comment saying whether the allocator helped you or not. Also, we're interested in any other issues possibly caused by it (were not happening on the old one but are happening on this one). Based on the results and our further internal testing, we will consider deploying the fix in one of the next updates. Thank you to everybody participating! EDIT: The test has ended. Unfortunately, the solution has not proven to be effective. Thanks everybody for the participation.

Hello, As part of the changes made for the upcoming Tanks DLC, we have just upgraded three wheeled APCs with fully modeled interiors. You can try them on Dev-Branch already, we would like to encourage you to post your feedback to this thread. To clarify, interiors are still work in progress and are also subject to change. The plan is to introduce them to all vanilla armored vehicles as part of a free platform update. We hope you find them as enjoyable and immersive as we do, please let us know what you think! More about the interiors and their development in the latest Report In!
