Known Issues
The bleeding icon is not visible in the inventory
All vehicles will disappear after 10 minutes of not using them
conf contents are deleted after leaving a server
Playing in the fullscreen can cut the bottom part of the UI information for the weapons and turrets
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
Players are not able to finish the tutorial because the game does not register a player building a small bunker
Right-clicking when using GM will open an empty radial or it will center the cursor instead of opening the context menu
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
Xbox - Using ADS, spriting, or opening the radial menu can be interrupted and the player will need to use the action for them again
Players can crash when switching from the Game Master server to a different server like a Conflict if they use Steam or Xbox overlay
Deleting objects/fortifications does not reimburse supplies when it was built from a supply truck but deleted from the camp's freebuilding mode
Players that reconnect to the server are missing rights to use ArmaVision and Building interface. The only way is to disconnect from the server and connect back
Spawning on the radio in the vehicle into the driver seat will not allow a player to control the vehicle until he changes the seat or leaves the vehicle and re-enters it
BTR is not working properly in the water
Players sometimes cannot join already existing groups on the server after they connect
Players reconnecting to the server are not joining the group where they were and need to rejoin the group
Players can soft-lock themself when joining a server with a mod that they reported. They need to cancel the mod report in the Workshop to be able to join the server
Some default gadgets are not saved as part of saved loadout in Conflict scenarios
Exploding on own placed mines while in a vehicle counts as Friendly Fire on DS
Respawning with the Save Loadout and dropping equipped items will corrupt the player model in Game Master and Combat Ops making parts of the body invisible
Most AIs in a group are inert during fights with multiple targets
For experimental server owners: The last save is always loaded when the dedicated server is started.
If you don't want to load the latest save, delete the saves prior to starting the server.
You can find the saves in this folder: <-profile path>/profile/.save/
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.
