[Modset Update] Marksmen Update

Although it took much longer than we had anticipated, the Marksmen update is finally ready for implementation!

The Marksmen DLC Update (6.83 GB) will be activated on the server on Monday, May 11th, 2015 (note that the date has been corrected) after the day's operations. If you have not installed the updates by this date you will not be able to join the server.

Even if you are an experienced member who has installed mods before, we ask that you please follow the included instructions carefully.

(Note: If you download the update before it is live on the server, it is recommended that you store them outside your Arma 3 folder until the activation date, as Arma3Sync may otherwise load updated mods instead of outdated ones if they share the same folder name. You may delete your outdated mods and activate your updated mods if you wish, though you will not be permitted on the server until the official activation date.)

Will there still be a Quarterly Update?

Although this update is being released much later than we had originally planned, we do still intend to release a quarterly update in June or July. We understand that this update is a fairly sizable download, so we will strive to keep the Quarter 2 Update as small as possible.

But what about ACE3?

As pretty much everyone is aware at this point, AGM (as well as CSE) have been retired, and both teams have linked up with the creators of the ACE2 mod from Arma 2. Together, all three teams are now working on ACE3, which looks very promising! For the time being, however, the version of AGM included with this update will be the last one that we use before switching over to ACE3. Unfortunately, ACE3 has yet to put out a stable build. While we can't wait to try it, we must first ensure that it will run alright on the server.

We intend to monitor ACE3's development closely, and test builds as they become available. Rest assured, we'll have the mod on the server as soon as it's ready to replace AGM.
