[b]FROM[/b]: High Command [b]TO[/b]: Arma 3 Users [b]INFO[/b]: Eden Release Candidate, Ongoing Investigations, Simple Objects [b]PRECEDENCE[/b]: Flash [b]SITUATION[/b] [b][url=https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/183855-release-candidate-branch-announcements/?p=2974792]Release Candidate testing[/url][/b] for the [b]1.56 Eden Update[/b] has now kicked off in earnest. If you'd like to participate, the Steam branch access code is: [i]Arma3Update156RC[/i]. The actual release date will be determined based on test results, but it should be somewhere in the middle of this month. Please visit the [url=http://dev.arma3.com/rc-branch]Dev Hub overview page[/url] with details and some cautions. One particular warning this time around is one-way [b]compatibility of campaign save games[/b]. You will not be able to load 1.56 saves in the older 1.54 version due to fixes to inventory serialization. Campaign saves do carry over from 1.54 to the newer 1.56 (overall progress, not mid-scenario). Please keep this in mind and consider backing up your saves before switching branches. Alternatively you could use a new user profile to carry out RC tests. Thank you all in advance for helping us move towards a solid release!
