In previous Arma 3 versions patchs (1.42) 'paramsArray' was available on the server in multiplayer during preInit. As on 1.44 'paramsArray' is no longer available during preInit on the server. This breaks part of the F3 framework. As we use mission parameters during the init of particular units to determine what gear they use, this feature is now broken.

Steps To Reproduce
Here is the parameter processor that is run during preInit (preInit is declared from CfgFunctions):
//description.ext:
class CfgFunctions
{
class F
{
class common
{
class processParamsArray
{
file = "test.sqf";
preInit = 1;
};
};
};};
class Params
{
class f_param_medical
{
title = "Medical System";
values[] = {0,1};
texts[] = {"Arma 3 Default","Authentic Gameplay Mod"};
default = 1;
};};
//test.sqf
if (isMultiplayer) then {
if (isServer) then {
{
_paramName =(configName ((missionConfigFile >> "Params") select _forEachIndex));
_paramValue = (paramsArray select _forEachIndex);
missionNamespace setVariable[_paramName,_paramValue];
publicVariable _paramName;
} forEach paramsArray;};
} else {
//Values must be default in SP anyway and paramsArray doesn't exist in SP till postInit.
{
_paramName = (configName _x); _paramValue = (getNumber (missionConfigFile >> "Params" >> _paramName >> "default")); missionNamespace setVariable[_paramName,_paramValue];
} forEach ((missionConfigFile >> "Params") call bis_fnc_returnChildren);
};
// From a client using the debug console your'll notice that in Arma 3 1.42 'f_param_medical' has a value and in 1.44 it does not.

Further notes: In MP Editor 'paramsArray' exists during preInit, on a dedicated server it does not.

This means we cant do things like set mission time in params. I hope this gets fixed.

This is not fixed. You can call function when param is selected. this function is supposed to receive _this with selected param as well. Both _this and paramsArray are undefined when this function is called.
class Params
{
class Hours
{
title = "Mission Time / Hours";
texts[] = {"00","01","02","03","04","05","06","07","08","09","10","11","12","13","14","15","16","17","18","19","20","21","22","23"};
values[] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23};
