Description

If scenario's parameters like title and overview are localized with Stringtable.xml and either applied through Editor Attributes or Description.ext, upon export the mission title and description will be empty (in title the file name can be shown sometimes). Localization strings are properly displayed while previewing in Eden Editor.

Edit #1:
If I put unpacked mission in Arma 3\Missions folder (instead of the exported PBO) I see this, so close to being okay but still no description.

Cannot confirm the Title, it works as intended in my test, overview text on the other hand doesnt. Are you sure you save and export mission every time you make changes to the scenario properties in the editor or description.ext?

You also need to prefix description.ext briefingName and overviewText with @ not $ if you use description.ext over 3DEN, see
