If you want to play with more realistic in-game radio use TaskForce Arrowhead Radio (TFAR) and a TS3 server.

If I set it to small I see the text correctly, no typos.
Sad, because a typo would be a much more easy fix.

Any recommendation to update the title of this report so it reflects better what's the issue?
It is small issue, not a big deal

Should be already fixed on current Stable.

Normal is fine too:

The radio protocol has parts of that - however the effort and complexity to make that part of the VON system is likely not low.

BattlEye would need to add it on their end.
Probably into their existing BE server config.

Very unlikely.
static noise and transmission quality maybe. Rest no.

Yeah, completely broken in game

Reaction Forces. But thats not the problem if the game started, i can activate the dlc ingame, then the game restarts itself and i have no problems. But if i start with launcher and activated one dlc, the LAUNCHER and STEAM shutdown

This seems like a problem on your end - maybe some font issue - as it works fine for me:

It's not broken. You're using an old version of the game. As the wiki says, the commands will be available in A3 v2.18. (you can also try it in the dev branch right now)

Launcher version: 1.5.151618

@thehungryhippo are you on stable (2.16) or dev/perf branch?

@Dwarden is it possible?

which DLCs? did you try to narrow it down by adding one by one yet?

If they don't even support animation at all, then definitely not.

An update. If I start the game without DLC's and mods (I don't have any mods anyway) everything works. I can then activate the DLCs in-game, restart by asking in-game and then everything works. It just doesn't work via the launcher.

Its not the Graphic Card or something that mades problems. If i Start Arma 3 with the launcher, Steam and the Game Shutdown everytime. If i start "arma3battleye.exe" and "arma3_x64.exe" (without the launcher in the folder of the game itself) then it starts Normaly without a problem. but on this way i dont can play any DLC

Thanks to all devs for making this update! Awesome! :)

The macbook is very convenient for personal use and work, its minimalism, screen, convenience and aesthetics I like it

Well, I'm not quite so sure about your pessimism - although it seems, by look at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext a simple mission config is not able to override base config.
But that's exactly why this feature request is about: The Van_02 (to avoid confusion with the "small Truck" named Van_01 for whatever reason) comes with what I'm asking for:

1. a simple switch to change between additional cargo vs additional infantry
2. can load cargo as well as can be loaded as cargo
3. can be slingloaded

All I request is to extent this function already in the game to both the Truck and the Offroader - or, what would even be cooler but I guess way more difficult: allow us to override the VehicleTransport config in Description.ext.

I know this is about Mac - hence sorry for hijacking - just wanted to point out: A3 works great with current Proton 9 and Linux 6.8 - I guess your guys decision to drop native and rely on Proton was the right move - as I noticed a bit of increased dev activity and release cycle guess by the freed up resources.
As for all you Mac folks: Although I won't say Mac isn't a good platform for gaming - but its support is even more limited than Linux - why you even use it for gaming, tho?

*sigh*
That's the kind of topic like those over on the Arch forums shen people try to run Arch on 10+ year old hardware: Get it - your hardware is too old - upgrade your hardware!
A3 always was and sometimes still is the Crysis of the 2010s: It is unoptimized as hell to cause even beefy hardware to perform like crap.
An example: I ran a R9 290X - one of the high-end cards of its time - got roughly 30 fps ob mid settings - upgraded to a R570 - still only managed to get unstable 60 - it takes a freaking xt 7700 and a 5600 to get me stable 90 fps on high - with cranking to very high tanks me back to below - and all that on just 1080p!
Same goes with loading times: As I'm on Linux and ZFS most is cached into RAM - but it still forever on first start to load it all. And A3 is like gta V o that matter: big simple archives to aid with high sequential reads. Ever played killing floor 2 with all its billion of 1kb assets?

@Photograph
Thants great.
I was wondering how do you install mods and maps in Mac?

I turned it off Western Sahara Creator DLC and logged on to the server. Thak you

No, this server doesn't allow this CDLC, therefore it should be disabled.

It looks like this server requires Western Sahara Creator DLC. Do you have it installed and loaded via command-line? Since Mac doesn't have a Launcher, you need to do it manually: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Play_on_Mac#DLCs_and_CDLCs

Bro, I was able to download the beta update, now friend is the problem

Can you upload a photos when you add the code then another photo when you click “check code”

99% of the way through the boot process, it says "disk write error."

Hey man.
Open steam library,
Right click on Arma then properties.
Click Betas, type MacUpdate216RC in Private Betas
Click Check Code. Then it will download

@DnA How do I download it? MacUpdate216RC

can send two note:
If this sounds must triggers when player swiming so it won't work, on unit swim only water sounds appers

• class SoundBreathSwimming

I thought it was in the original post but after re-reading it I seemed to have missed it.

"when you watch remote players" yeah you are moving your camera into them.
I assume local camera state will reflect theirs, and as I'm checking local camera state, it will probably also trigger isADS then. But only while spectating.

It sure isn't impossible

Will it work for players who don't download and enable it? No? Then this is a problem, as it limits players from connecting to servers that use this mod.

It sure isn't impossible - I built a simple config-mod with just this and got what I want:

Should be fixed yes. Please try the latest dev branch update and report back.

that sound seems local only - no idea if intentional or by design. should be easy to fix

it seems most infantry sounds are local only - no idea if intentional or by design. should be easy to fix

this was fixed, right?

I have tested on the latest profiling branch using both BI and ACE arsenal - seems to have been resolved. Thank you very much!

Hello @Bis!

If the commander orders a medic to treat a wounded AI, then that wounded AI stops like a statue and will wait stands at full height without moving! During combat, this makes his behavior unnatural.

Please make sure so that the wounded AI-person awaiting treatment does not stand at full height during the battle, especially in combat mode, under enemy bullets.
It would be great if he expected to crouch or even lie down on the ground in a special animation.

Well - according to https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Vehicle_in_Vehicle_Transport it seems possible to just add the VIV capability to new and existing vehicles.

This is impossible without updating vehicle configs either by updating the game or enabling mods.

Well - according to https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Vehicle_in_Vehicle_Transport it seems possible to just add the VIV capability to new and existing vehicles. In fact: using the config viewer in the editor the vehicles that can load others do have a VehicleTransport section which contains a Carrier node. And although I wasn't able to confirm it my guess is that most loadable cargo shares some common inherited VehicleTransport/Cargo section.

We've opened a RC-Branch for Mac 2.16. Its Steam beta access code is: MacUpdate216RC
It should work fine already, so if you're keen to get back multiplayer compatibility, switch over.

test next dev please
