Event Timeline
This becomes a breaking issue on any mission with finite resources. The team that dupes no longer has to worry about resource management.
Many people only get ArmA for the mods, you know this. Duping is a HUGE issue for the mods that are a GIANT source of your cash revenue. You owe it to them to fix this as it is not something they can do.
will only continue to recommend ARMA 3 when it gets fixed. Please duping is killing the mods!
Wow, I'm surprised this hasn't gotten a single note from a Dev in the entire 4 and a half months it's been open and being exploited!
Hello guys,
thank you for reporting this issue (and sorry that it took so long). It has been reproduced, assigned and we'll try to solve it by the next update.
Thank you.
