Known Issues

• All vehicles will disappear after 10 minutes of not using them

• Deleting all dead bodies and destroyed vehicles with the GM can lead to the kick of all GMs from the server

  • Workaround: Delete entities in smaller batches.

• Some buildings/compositions can be built without a proper obstruction check making these buildings/compositions unusable 

• After enabling a previously disabled add-on, included missions are not displayed in the "Scenarios" tab until the game is restarted

• Characters in the turrets sometimes start drifting away creating a surrealistic portrait of a man with really long arms holding a turret

• Deleting objects/fortifications does not reimburse supplies when it was built from a supply truck but deleted from the camp's freebuilding mode

• Players sometimes cannot join already existing groups on the server after they connect

• Exploding on own placed mines while in a vehicle counts as Friendly Fire on DS

• Respawning on the radio in the vehicle will not allow players to use gadgets

• Screen effects (from blood loss for example) are displayed over UI elements such as chat

• Radiofrequency defaults to 32 (or 38 for Soviets) no matter the group

• Downloading progress can overflow 100% due to wrong data count. This happens when downloading of the same addon is paused and unpaused

• Xbox: The player isn't informed about full addon storage

• AIs can teleport behind the wall if they are not able to get there normally

• Players can get stuck in a tripod turret if they fall into an unconscious state and get healed

• The turret will continue firing when a player enters an unconscious state while shooting

• A client can crash after trying to download the mod again with an unstable connection

• Players in gunner position can't capture bases

• Entity filters in GM do not work properly

• Incorrect faction player count in the Deploy Menu

• Binoculars overlay can get stuck on the player's screen after entering/leaving GM/ArmaVision

• VFX explosion is triggered when the vehicle hull hit zone receives damage

• Using a lightning strike with GM that has a character placed in the scenario will not do anything

  • GM needs to delete his character or change the keybinding for the lightning strike

Warning: 

• Server performance can be greatly reduced when replicating a high number of characters (players + AIs), and this issue becomes more prominent with increased limits, making it difficult to handle 128 players and 200+ AIs.

  • Playing Everon Conflict with 128 players is not recommended, while Arland might be more feasible due to its smaller size and fewer AI spawns. Pure PvP without AIs could be a potential alternative for larger player counts.
