MrRepeatz Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 The reason why we are spawning as seagulls If you have been playing on the MP servers over the last few hours or so you will have noticed that you may have been spawning as a seagull at the start of missions.The factsThis issue started roughly when the latest development build (0.5.102980 dev) was made available and is widespread over a lot of servers.logic dictates that this is going to be an engine bug not some script kiddie or hacker.Fortunately there is a Server admin Skype channel, where this type of information can be discussed relatively quickly.The general conscenus of this channel is:If a client running the latest development build of arma3 connects to a server, they will cause a bug to occur which spawns players as seagulls.So to re-iterate, this is highly suspected of being an engine bug nothing more.BIS are aware of this and i would suspect this will be a priority for them when they start work in the morningThere are rumours that this is caused by cheaters/hackers/script kiddies.If you don't know how to prove these suspicions or cannot prove them please don't spread malicious rumours which does nobody any good.If you don't know how to run the Development version and want too, this is how you do it1) Open Steam2) Select library3) Right click on ArmA3 & select properties4) Select Beta tabin the drop down box, select "development-Development Build"ArmA3 will then automatically update if it isnt runningIf in the future you want to revert to a stable build, simply undo the option and the ArmA3 version will roll back to the last stable source http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?149494-The-reason-why-we-are-spawning-as-seagulls Brooksie10 and razgriz33 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrie Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 So I'm going to guess as long as the people we have allowed in don't op for this we should be okay untill it's fixed?Cheers for that dude. razgriz33 and Brooksie10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergie Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nice find repeatz, if I engage my brain, an error in a new build of the ALPHA seems more intelligent than the idea that hundreds of user bought the game just to endlessly troll hack it.
