Custom faces no longer allowed?
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Ever since the 2.0 update, my custom face has gotten me kicked from every server. It usually says something like "Custom File Size too large for face.jpg (file size: 95xxxx>0bytes)" which means that I can't have a custom at all. Is this intentional or just an oddity on my end?

Hi, Dwarden explained on the Arma Discord that these size limitations are indeed intentional.
The reason for these limitations are that there was a lot of abuse of custom sounds, and the server settings only have settings that affect both custom sounds etc and faces at once.
