Mac Port 2.16 Technical Statement - Reaction Forces and Western Sahara



[h2]🚨 Attention Arma 3 players on Mac 🚨[/h2]

We will be rolling back the Mac versions of our Reaction Forces and Western Sahara Creator DLCs.

The current versions of the CDLCs have had high crash rates due to a mismatch of the base game data, and we believe rolling them back will provide a better experience for our Mac players.

However, this means Mac players will not be able to play on multiplayer servers until the latest Mac Port update (2.18) is released. This update is taking longer than expected, but we will get it out as soon as it is ready.

You can however still opt into the Mac 2.18 Release Candidate testing branch via access code: Arma3Update218MacRC

That RC build contains the latest version of both Creator DLC, but it is not yet ready for full release.

We understand this is not ideal, and we apologize for the temporary inconvenience.
