This just in,

Apparently GeneralCarver was banned, by what are reports indicate, for one month from www.armaholic.com. Armaholic has no reply. Word on the beat is that GeneralCarver gave some "words of wisdom" in the forums much to the dislike of some of the moderators. More in the general forums on this issue.

As all of you know we have used Addons in missions for sometime off and on. Recently we have decided to upon up Addon use again. However, we have had some technical issues hosting these addon files from our website. However, we have selected a new file hosting service which our members can access for our custom addons and files.

Clan of Brothers now has a File Front account. This is a free file hosting service geared towards the gaming community. It will work perfect for us as it is located off site from our website and has unlimited upload, download, and storage space.

From now on all approved COB addons for Armed Assault will be posted on this website for download. Note that it is not required for you to have a File Front user account to access these downloads. The addons are divided up under type as you will see when you visit the website. Enjoy.

At Ease Everyone,

As newly appointed CO of the ArmA Division, I have consulted with other members under my administration and have formed a new volunteer group for our ArmA playing members to participate in.


The Weekly Custom Mission Team

This team will produce small, single senerio, cooperative maps on a weekly basis to be played at our weekly official meeting time. Map making duties are rotated between volunteers on a weekly basis.

If your interested, sign up in the ArmA forums.

General Out!

Tonights outage was caused by our router taking a big ole' happy dump. It's been replaced with a new one. Let me know if you run into any problems. Sorry for the down time.

The website e-mail system is back up and running again. New users should get the comfirmation e-mails.

After version 1.14 was released, we identified with the great help of some members of the community, a few serious issues that we considered important enough to release another patch:

* Vista x64 4 GB problem with ATI (some users cannot run the game)
* Joining in Progress causing lag and disconnection (JIPing player can break the game for the players already ingame)
* Dedicated server bandwidth control wrong (not working as intended because of bad DS framerate measurements)

The x64 ATI issue is something which is currently only hitting a few users, but within a few years it's likely the problem would become more prevalent. Multiplayer issues are quite low level and definitely annoying and also by fixing them now and testing them in a larger scale use it's the best way forward for ArmA 2's eventual release.
