care to elaborate on the file size?

Am I going to be stuck downloading forever again?

Don't know yet the update still isn't up.

Expected to be less than 1GB.

That's right, tanks, static weapons, small objects in the editor, etc.

But, beware, it will take some time for us to upload these new/modified addons (GBs of data), so we don't expect the update to sync with dev branch users until this afternoon, possibly evening.

Plus, we'll have to be sure it's valid once it's uploaded, but we'll try to keep you up to date if there are any unforeseen snags along the way.


Best,
RiE

Just to put everything in scope - there has been next to 5 GB of addons (re)uploaded and expected download size is going to be a bit less than a GB (blessed be Our Dear Leader for choosing Steam) :icon_twisted:

I don't want to spoil the surprise, but there are some unmentioned thingies like optics in the package

I'm getting that often went into the editor earlier it took forever to load and when I got in it was still loading my surroundings so the game looked like it had basically crashed. My screen was moving every 5 seconds or so.

My dogfighting's a little rusty but if you ever catch me in an A10, you had better have a buttload of AA pointed my way if you wanna live
