I will be running another session for ArmA 3 on 5th Sunday April at 13:00 BST.

Server name: JW FGM
Password: Josey Wales

Search for the server via the ArmA 3 launcher (see the Server tab at the bottom of the left hand menu) as it seems you are more likely to succeed in connecting this way

The server can currently take 12 players max (not including me) so put your names down below.
Required mods are;

CBA_A3 - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=450814997
CUP Terrains - Core - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=583496184

Please ensure you have no other mods running.

Comms will be via in game VON (Voice Over Network)

House rules;

1. No team killing
2. No shooting in the base/briefing area
3. Magazines & clips to be removed from weapons whilst in the base/briefing area
4. No swearing
5. Looting of the enemy is acceptable in this scenario


I will start the briefing at 13:05 BST. Please make sure you are on the server well before then so any connection issues can be sorted out prior to starting - especially if you are new to ArmA.

Please be aware that if you do arrive late you will need to sort out any problems you are having by yourself so as not to impact on everyone else's session.

Add me on Steam if you haven't done so already. Same name, same avatar, real name Jason, location UK.

Please direct anyone else here that you think might be interested.

Put your names forward below, see you in the field.

Going to be the asshole and say I can't make it because I have work. Not "work work", but "fun work" that you'll all appreciate one day. I'm falling behind with this "fun work" because of "work work". :) Can't say much more than that.
 
Sorry I couldn't join today. I tried for almost an hour. Server didn't show up on my end, then it did, but said I needed MODS that I did have loaded. Re-downloaded them and in the game they were showing up as red? Tried A3Launcher, did find the server but got a "Wrong Password" error message about 3 times. I did re-type the PW as shown, so I don't know. Very frustrating. Joined last time without these issues. :unsure:

@Paleolithic Monk sorry you couldn't join today, I genuinely do not know why you would be having the issue you are having. There were some lag issues today and 1 person did lose connection but I don't know if this was linked to your issue.

If there are any tecchies reading this please impart your knowledge.
 
I'm not experienced with ARMA3 tech, but...
We've all had the best luck by joining from the launcher (the first screen, not from within the game itself).
When the launcher opens, I go to 'Servers' (on the left), and the session appears at the top.
When I start the session, it gives me a choice of installing the mods I need. Although I do have the mods already, I always go with the option of getting the mods installed for me.
And finally, when it prompts me to enter the password, the characters are shown as just asterisks for me. I just copy the password from the forum and paste it in (Control-V).
 
I've never had any problems with the passwords before. It's case sensitive so make sure you spelled it right and remember to check your caps lock.
 
Some memorable moments from today's session...

Nathangun was fired at coming around the corner of a house in the town, and quickly ducked back into cover.
I went around the right side of the house to flank the enemy.
Peeking around the corner, I saw a grey uniformed soldier firing his MP40 at Nathangun's position.
He was side-on to me and didn't spot me - I fired a burst from my LMG and dropped him.

There was another moment where DoubleD ordered Nathangun and I (Red Section) to cover blue team's advance.
Off the the left I spotted an enemy approaching us from around a fence line.
Standing in the open I shoulder fired my LMG in short bursts of 2 rounds - it still had lots of kick.
I was able to get some shots right on target and saw him fall into the tall grass.

Lots of fun guys. Thanks for the scenario Josey.
 
I'm going to trouble shoot these next few days. @Josey Wales , can we set-up a test run for connectivity before Thurs? And/or I can local host with the MOD set and someone join my game to see if there is a MOD issue. I did have other MODS, but not checked and I even deleted them before trying to connect again.
