For Arma 3: due to Bohemia Interactive's regulation that mod creators are free to monetize their mods, we can offer no to limited bonuses for donators due to the use of CUP, RHS and 3CB.

Currently we can offer donors the following:

- faster and better support

- relocation of the base flag (from VIP light, but at least 10 Euros)

- restoration of bases (from VIP light, but at least 25 Euros)

- slightly higher payout of poptabs at Wages

- every 60 minutes of active playtime you get up to three Rubberducks depending on your VIP rank**.

* VIP gold is additionally unlocked for Supporters

** Rubberducks can be used to craft special items, including vehicles.

Due to the number of mods that are loaded at start-up, it is important to use an SSD hard disk or an NVMe hard disk. These sometimes work hundreds of times faster than an outdated HDD hard drive.

The processor is also important for Arma 3. Contrary to what is usually claimed, it is not the number of cores that is important, but the clock frequency. Accordingly, we recommend a processor with at least 4 cores (with Hyperthreading 8 cores), which has a clock frequency of at least 3 GHz. However, the most common processors from Intel and AMD already achieve higher values.

In addition to the processor, the graphics card is also important. Do not use old graphics cards or the integrated graphics unit of the processor.

At least important is the main memory, whereby we recommend a minimum of 8 GB. Please note the clock frequency supported by the mainboard and processor. You can find information about this on the manufacturer's website or in the manual.

1. Find a nice place where you want to build.
2. Use 'Can I build here?' on the XM8 front page and check, if this place is available.
3. Spawn your Flag Crate on the XM8 Apps Page to get your flag. It costs 30.000 Poptabs.
4. When you place the flag, please use a proper name. Otherwise admins will rename it.

5. Bases have to be renewed after 30 days.

Vehicles may remain on the server for 5 days (48 hours on Altis and Chernarus) and are then automatically deleted. For the benefit of the frames (FPS) of your fellow players and of course yourself, the vehicles should be parked in the virtual garage. Bases must be paid for every 30 days.

The flag can only be moved by an admin. As this is a high effort, this service is only offered to donators.

Alternatively, you cannot pay for your base. This means that it expires and you can place a flag again.

Mission vehicles in that sense no longer exist.Most vehicles, except for rewards from static missions, must be claimed. Claimed vehicles run on the player's own account and can therefore be replaced. All vehicles that do not run on the player's account will not be replaced.

Vehicles from static missions are generally not replaced.

The question marks mean that you do not have enough respect for the item to be displayed.

Since the Arma 3 launcher has been constantly improved over the last few years, we recommend using it.

We are aware that there are still players who use the A3Launcher http://a3launcher.com/. Due to the limited support, we strongly advise against using this launcher. Also, there are always errors caused by its use.

If you need help setting up or understanding the onboard Arma 3 launcher, please feel free to join the Arma 3 Discord: https://discord.gg/arma

This error occurs when the game is not able to contact with the servers BattlEye service or with the BattlEye servers.

Check in Task Manager if this process is running and kill it with right click:

Go in these folders and check for BattlEye folders and delete them:

After that, please restart your Computer so running processes are closed. When done, please verfiy the game cache via Steam:

After that, start Arma 3 and check out under BattlEye if the setting is correctly set:

At first please verify the game cache of Arma 3:

If it's a mod, you also can repair the mod via Arma 3 Launcher:

First of all, please create a ticket in Discord so that we can help you with this.

Please download the following file: https://sourceforge.net/projec…tr/files/WinMTR-v092.zip/

Extract the file WinMTR-v092.zip and open the folder WinMTR_x64. Double click WinMTR.exe. Now a program should open which looks like this:

In the "Host" field, enter the IP address of the server on which you are playing. You can find the IP address as follows:

Please leave the MTR open for at least 1000 runs. Please send the MTR data in the ticket you opened. Please also give us your public IPv4 address (you can find this, e.g. via https://whatismyipaddress.com/) so that we can also perform an MTR from the server.

No, it is not possible to change the loadout.

This is a known bug, especially in RHS vehicles. Mostly Russian T-tanks are affected, but also helicopters.

The problem can be solved by setting the graphics settings PiP (Picture in Picture) to Very High or Ultra.

Due to the physics in Arma 3, any use of the parachute, e.g. replacing in inventory or catapulting out of an aircraft, will cause the backpack to disappear or be deleted. We therefore advise against carrying a backpack in aircraft. If the backpack is lost due to something like this, it will not be replaced.

First of all, we would like to point out that any violation of the rules will be punished.

Since this is a high-value vehicle, we have to differentiate to what extent previous rule violations influence the punishment.

Generally, we give a warning for the first offence. In case of a second offence, the vehicle will be deleted after consultation with a higher team member. If there is another offence after that, a ban on using that vehicle will be issued.

All over the map you can find seeds. You can also find them in Gear Crates, Ship Wrecks and DMS Missions.

When you have found seeds, you can plant them via double click in your territory. You can plant a maximum of 6 plants per species, depending on the territory level. The following levels are needed:

Base Level 1 - 4: One Plant

Base Level 5 - 9: Two Plants

Base Level 10 - 14: Three Plants

Base Level 15 - 19: Four Plants

Base Level 20 - 24: Five Plants

Base Level 25: Six Plants

Every plant has to be watered and fertilized. You can do both 30 times, but only once per server period.

When you plant the seeds, the plant needs at least 5 days to crow. So after 5 days you can harvest it.

The more you water and fertilize it, the more it returns when harvested.

The maximum amount of returns is 12 items per plant.

For watering you need a Water Canister with Fresh Water or a Bottle of Fresh Water.

For Fertilizer you need the following items: Rotten Berries, Rotten Orange, Rotten Apple, Rotten Apricot, Rotten Pear, Rotten Watermelon, Rotten Banana and Rotten Carrot.

You can craft the Fertilizer with a Empty Food Canister you can buy. The rotten fruits can be found everywhere on the map and also on DMS Missions.

With one plant harvested, you can get more than 200.000 Poptabs depending on your skill.

- parking on objects is dangerous as there is a very high chance that the vehicle will explode

- the most powerful helicopters can also lift tanks; to prevent bugs, the pilot must be the last driver of the lifted vehicle

- a large number of vehicles can be crafted via the CDAH Vehicle Crafting Terminal

- when crafting, the Tempest (Device) can be used to load certain items directly

- Flares in the helicopter can be used by pressing the C key (or CTRL + C)

- vehicles without PIN can be claimed with a Code Lock

- you can plant certain plants by placing seeds like objects

- in Fishing Zones you can go fishing with a boat

Depending on the level, there is a multiplier in the earnings. This is 0.25 + level. This means that at level 10 you have a multiplier of 2.

The skill level is available for the following activities: Fishing, Sandbags, Salvage, Harvest, Crystal, Ore and Crafting.
