[b]FROM[/b]: Project Lead [b]TO[/b]: Arma 3 Users [b]INFO[/b]: 1.38 Release Candidates, Report In!, Vanilla or Modded? [b]PRECEDENCE[/b]: Flash [h1]SITUATION[/h1] The [b]Release Candidate[/b] for [b]update 1.38[/b] has been on Steam for a few days. We've iterated it with several more fixes related to audio and inventory manipulation. If you'd like to still participate in the final stages of testing, you can switch to the RC branch using access code [i]Arma3Update138RC[/i]. So far we're seeing increased stability (battling those PhysX crashes and other elusive instabilities). In terms of performance, our own measurements show it having increased at least slightly, but there are a few reports of dropped singleplayer frame rate. If you can reproduce a measured loss of performance between 1.36 and 1.38, please let us know. Make sure to verify your local files and defragment any non-SSD hard drive first though. It's also important to compare the situation between a vanilla version of the game and one with mods enabled. Larger scale multiplayer testing is even more interesting to us. This is something quite hard to accomplish even with our entire QA army involved. Internal tests and a few public sessions have gone well. We're currently optimistic about the update; the release window opens tomorrow afternoon (Czech Republic). More in the [url=http://dev.arma3.com/post/sitrep-00090]full SITREP[/url]
