Most of you are probably aware by now that Tuesday's Arma 3 "Nexus" update has created major problems for Arma communities such as ours, with changes to the way the hitboxes are implemented on characters and vests. As a result any vests not updated to the new damage model no longer function and provide zero protection. While the ACE and Bundeswehr Mod teams were prepared for the changes it seems others, such as RHS, were not and we may be waiting a few weeks for updates to be released. Please read on for more information and rollback instructions.

In order to solve this issue we have decided to stick with Arma v1.52 for the time being (hats off to Nicolai DL for the tip). This has also forced us to bring forward plans to move to a dedicated server, which we were considering for both cost savings and improved management capabilities. The new server is now live and ready for action! To join it simply make sure that you are running Arma 3 v1.52 (see instructions below to find out how) and join the new server using the IP 144.76.74.130. All of the other server details, including the password, have remained the same. TeamSpeak and the repository will remain on the existing server for the time being and are unaffected by these changes.

While you guys continue to play on Arma 3 v1.52, the tech team will start preparing and testing updates to our modpack for 1.54. This essentially means that the modpack will now be in a frozen state until the release of a 1.54 compatible update. Because of this, we have decided to push a few small updates to the modpack. All the templates have also been updated with some new loadouts for additional factions and roles. Please check the changelogs in the forums for more information.

Now to the instructions for rolling back to Arma v1.52 and joining the new server:

  1. In your Steam Library right-click on Arma 3 and go to Properties.
  2. Go to the Betas tab.
  3. In the "Enter beta access code to unlock private beta" field enter: Arma3Legacy152
  4. Click Check Code. It should now says that the code has been accepted.
  5. In the select list above the code field, you should now be able to select "legacy - Legacy Build (1.52)".
  6. Click Ok. In the library it should now say "Arma 3 [legacy]" and it will begin downloading the rollback (2.2GB).
  7. Once downloaded, update your modpack via Arma3Sync and join the new server at 144.76.74.130.
