Hi There! I haven't playid in a few days and when today I tried to launch Arma 3 on Steam Kaspersky just quarantined arma3.exe as it is infected with trojan virus. I can't seem to restore it in Kaspersky. Now I can't launch the game. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thx, Dave

Building upon the successful launch of the Arma 3 Alpha, we've joined forces with Dslyecxi (leader of the Arma community group ShackTactical) to create a series of tutorial videos! Over the next couple of weeks, Dslyecxi will introduce Arma 3 and share tips on topics like infantry combat, co-operative multiplayer and mission editing. Today's first video takes a more general look at Arma 3 and illustrates the authenticity, diversity and opportunity at the heart of our tactical military shooter.

- Bohemia Interactive, creators of the critically acclaimed Arma series and the standalone version of DAYZ, today announce the €500,000 Make Arma Not War content creation contest for Arma 3. With cash prizes ranging from €20,000 to €200,000, spread across four different categories, Bohemia Interactive challenges people to deliver their best work yet - and potentially move onto the radar of hundreds of thousands of Arma 3 players. Using the game as their platform, people can compete in four different categories: Total Modification, Singleplayer Game Mode, Multiplayer Game Mode, and Addon. The headline prize will be awarded to the winner of the Total Modification category, where the sole victor will be taking home €200,000. In the other categories, prize money is divided between 1st place (€50,000), 2nd place (€30,000), and 3rd place (€20,000). Projects which show a lot of potential might also be offered a contract by Bohemia Interactive, whether they have won the contest or not. “We’re delighted to be running a contest of such an incredible scope. The Make Arma Not War contest was brought to life to support our dedicated community of content creators, and stimulate the exciting culture of creativity that has formed over the yearsâ€, said Ivan Buchta, Creative Director at Bohemia Interactive, and one of the contest organizers. “Of course, with the stakes being this high, we’re expecting people to raise the bar – and we hope Arma 3 players will be there with us, to boost morale, and enjoy the fruits of the contestants’ hard labor.†In addition to the €500,000 in cash prizes, Bohemia Interactive is also proud to announce a unique collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), who will be handing out the Health Care in Danger Special Award. Given to the entry which covers the topic of ‘health care in danger’ the best, the winner(s) will go on a one-week trip to an ICRC mission in a foreign country, organized by the ICRC. While the application period is scheduled to open in 2014, people are already welcome to start working on their project. The closing date for submissions is October 28, 2014, after which a jury of Bohemia Interactive representatives and other industry professionals will begin to evaluate the finalists in each category (10 in the Total Modification/Multiplayer Game Mode/Addon categories, 20 in the Singleplayer Game Mode category). The winners will be announced on January 15, 2015. More details, including how people can cast their vote and support their favorite projects, are to be announced at a later date. “With the launch of the first Arma game in 2001, we’ve laid the foundation for our series’ long-standing history in user-content and modifications. It has led us to enjoy many amazing creations, among which is the popular DAYZ modâ€, said Bohemia Interactive’s CEO Marek Spanel. “Support for mod-making has always been a priority, and with Arma 3, our goal is to take it to the next level. The Make Arma Not War contest, as well as Arma 3’s integration of the Steam Workshop, the updated EULAs, and our refreshed Arma 3 tool suite, is all part of this effort. We can’t wait to see what comes from it!†The rules for the contest, which also includes information on dates, prizes, and categories, can be found on www.makearmanotwar.com. The Make Arma Not War website will be updated regularly, starting with additional instructions on how to apply in the beginning of next year. Last but not least, to stay up to date with the latest developments, people can sign up for the Make Arma Not War newsletter. Important announcements regarding the contest will also be communicated via the official Arma 3 social channels (Facebook, Twitter).

Hi, I want to buy ArmA 2 in the BI Store for 6€. I don't know whether I should buy the steam version or non steam version? Maybe I want to try out the DayZ mod for arma 2 as well as the one for Arma 3 which requires Arma 2. Will there be any problems concerning one of the versions? Which one would you buy? Thanks

As part of our countdown to launch, we'll be hosting a Launch Sneak Preview livestream hangout on Saturday, August 10, at 17:00 UTC. Live from Bohemia Interactive HQ in Prague, the session will be streamed on Arma 3's channel on Twitch.tv. The session is expected to last about one hour. [ATTACH=CONFIG]207[/ATTACH] Based on our previous livestream experience, we welcome you all to submit questions in this thread - some of which we'll try to answer during the livestream. Thomas Ryan (Designer) will be hosting the hangout, supported by Arma 3's eLeads Jay Crowe (Creative Director), Petr Kolar (Encoding Lead) and Joris-Jan van 't Land (Project Lead). Overall, we aim to select about 5-10 questions. Please note that our focus is on Arma 3's launch content, so questions about the campaign will be addressed at a later date. The status of fixed-wing aircraft in Arma 3 will be detailed further in the next SITREP. Last but not least, be sure set yourself a reminder by enlisting for the official event on Arma 3’s Facebook page.

I recently was told that ArmA 3 will only launch with 1 fixed wing aircraft.. This seems very small to me and I am rather dissapointed. So BIS, why only one?

Dear community, On this day we can finally share our plans for the rest of the year! You’ve all survived a long period of unclear and absent information, an insane and unpredictable incident in Greece, and most recently some news not all of you were too happy about. But now I'm incredibly excited to announce ... In less than a week’s time, on Tuesday March 5th, we are releasing our Arma 3 Alpha! :cool: Quick links FREQUENTLY Asked Questions :icon_evil: Edition comparisons Alpha briefing This is one of those things we would not have been able to do without the decision to go with Steam. Now we are finally able to deliver on our promise to release a public Alpha version to you. We think it’s a very cool package with lots of potential. Worry not if the current playable content is a little limited. You all know the Arma platform and what it can do. We will expand the content ourselves and there will be a large amount of extra content for the Q3 2013 release. Why do we concentrate on quality of quantity now? We want to focus your testing and feedback in certain areas - in this case on infantry first. Perhaps the thing I am most enthusiastic about: we are not restricting modding in this version, in fact we encourage it. Create and share scenarios, weapons, vehicles, systems and anything else you can think of. Together we can make the full game release later in the year mind-blowing for those who join us then. A slight caution: we cannot prevent having to still make large changes in our data during Alpha and Beta. This could mean your mission or add-on needs to be updated because we change a config class name for example. We cannot sacrifice that level of internal flexibility until the full release. Check out the new website for all the information. I will personally try to provide more updates on the forums from this point onward. Hope to see your feedback and play some MP on public servers soon! www.arma3.com

In last ACE builds you fixed artillery random, its very good) but i found a couple mistakes in last builds: 1)81mm mortar absolutely have no damage 2)damage of 60mm mortar equal damage of underbarrel grenade launcher. i dont know about 60mm damage in real life, but i think it greater than underbarrel grenade....

i want to set damage of the vehicle that i'm driving to zero how can i do that? for example "player" is the name of the player now what is the name of his vehicle? ---------- Post added at 18:33 ---------- Previous post was at 17:17 ---------- i got my answer:D use this command and it will give you the object of vehicle you drive vehicle player

Curious, is there a current list of features we know for sure will be in the game? I know they nixed a few things but can't really find anything other then the old list, mostly so I know what I should be suggesting in feedback, :)

Dear Arma 3 Supporters, The Supporter Medals are now connected to the forum accounts of (most) people who purchased the Arma 3 Supporter Edition. If it doesn't appear, please make sure that your registered e-mail addresses (for the forums and Store.bistudio.com) correspond. If not, we'd recommend to change one of these e-mail addresses so it matches the other. Please note that we're updating the Supporter list daily, which means that it might take some time for the Supporter Medal to pop up afterwards.

Hi guys, We’re happy to see modding and user content up to a massively rapid start. We were blown away by the amount of user missions up within hours of release, and enjoyed playing with some of you on public servers! :cool: We do want to add some clarity to the concept of forward-porting Arma 1 / 2 content into Arma 3, so here are some guidelines to keep in mind: In general, you cannot simply redistribute data we shipped with previous games. The only data that is governed by special licenses are the sample packages. There are other, and accepted, ways of merging Arma 1 / 2 content into Arma 3. This is handled by releasing new add-ons that merge the content people already own via configuration files. We are working on an officially supported approach for later (similar to TKOH's Rearmed). We urge you to treat each other's work with respect. Please ask for permission before you take someone's mod and port it. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to all the awesome creations you are producing, and have several supporting packages being published as we speak!

I have a unit that I placed in the map editor, and I was wondering how to tie them into a script such as... Player_Array = [ [P1,P2,P3,P4,P5,P6], [P7,P8,P9,P10,P11,P12] ]; The names of the units being P1...P12. Also how to removeWeapons (for example) from a specific using the select command.

Hi, Gunner seat in some vehicules is bugged, when a vehicule is moving we can't shot, the view of gunner's seat is too laggy :s.

Hi community! Unfortunately you've had to wait for a while for any news on Arma 3. Today we've published a brief update on our website about the project. I realize it may not be the news you were hoping for, and there are not many details as of yet. In all honesty, even we are still in the dark about various aspects, but please stick around for more information in the new year. The team definitely is keen on getting the game done as best and quickly as possible :) Source: bistudio.com

I'm trying to make a mission somewhat based on Homer Johnston's Operation Mongoose (Link) for lower player counts. 1. I'm trying to make it so that, after the in-game mission briefing, 1 player (me) should be able to make his group teleport into the sky (via addaction-flagpole) for a parachute jump. Right now, i'm able to do this for 1 player only, not for a group. It doesn't have to be from a plane. 2. If possible i would like the teleport to be somewhat random. The group should teleport to a different place everytime the mission is replayed. 3. Is there any possibility to make the players inside the group teleport a minimum of distance away from eachother? So they don't fly too close to eachother and to make sure the players need to find eachother and regroup after landing. 4.Currently i'm doing this without any HALO script, but i would like the players to be able to know their height ASL while falling, is there any easy way to add this? Thx for the help!
