The Legacy Ports and the Legacy builds will never require an update as these are frozen at the point that they changed status from Stable.
Once these are installed they can be left as they are. If you have installed the Stable build with Game Updater, it will require to be updated whenever there is an update or hotfix to be applied to keep it current. The Release candidates, when they are available, will require more reqular updates as patches and hotfixes are applied. These will usually occur more frequently than on the Stable build.
The Development branch recieves almost daily updates, so you should be updating this branch each day to match this release schedule.
One concern with multiple installs is that there can be changes in the way that profiles are used between the different builds of the ArmA III engine.
I would strongly recommend that you get in the habit of using seperate profiles for each build you choose to install. How you wish to structure your profiles directories is up to you.
From there I branch out into folders based on the version number of the build. The easiest way to accomplish this is to add the profile path via the Launcher for the build you have installed. Expand the Advanced section and you will find the last entry Profile Path.
Click the ' Push the Play button and the game will create all the required files in the chosen directory. Couple that with the knowledge that most MOD development teams are only actively targeting the current Stable build and that they are not routinely archiving versions compatible with previous versions and you will come to understand the difficulty of finding MODs compatible with these versions after the fact.
It is therefore necessary to actively plan for future needs by finding those MODs while they are current, which means when they are working with the current Stable builds of ArmA. This also means that you may not find versions of MODs compatible with the Legacy Ports builds unless you had a lot of foresight. Some MODs are only found on one of these, or you may get to choose where you wish to download them. IMO Steam is the easier place to access these as their download servers are well provisioned and reliable and functionality is not limited for any user in any way.
All of the most important MODs are available on Steam. Select ' I suggest that the version specific local MODs be stored in the version specific Profile folder created earlier. If you are not using version specific Profile folders, then you are on your own with that.
With MODs that are coming from another source like Armaholic, then these will be installed and maintained manually, so you will only need to install them to the required directory and tell the ArmA III Launcher where they are.
Suggested MODs. If you are using Linux or MacOS clients for ArmA 3, then I'm going to assume an higher level of technical competence and not have to explain to you here why there is no ability to use the Development or other branches on those platforms. Just say thank you for the non-native 1. You choose Do I need to own ArmA 3 to run the other builds? Known issues with the installation process or with maintaining and running multiple ArmA 3 Client installations on a single computer.
Steam only supports the installation of a single instance of a game. This includes adding the second copy as a non-Steam game in some instances. It is better to create and use desktop shortcuts for any additional branches installed. You will need to switch branches in the Steam Client and copy the install directory elsewhere to have a seperate install for this version.
This is not usually an issue as if you have planned ahead you will already have the Legacy Ports version downloaded and installed before it becomes the Legacy Ports build. ArmA 3: Development Hub [dev. For this step you want the blue one.
Find the mod you wish to install find it in the browser and click install. Let the process complete. Larger mods will take longer to complete. You will have to manually add mods as explained below to your Exile command line. Hit Enable Me? If you have a small screen, it may not show! So if you've added 2 mods, you'd see similar to ; ;. If the workshop page lists required mods, those will be installed too. Check the list to make sure all your mods are there, if you've added any outside of the browser, you'll need to add them here, sometimes it may not be added automatically too.
Some mods need to be in the -servermod box instead, if so it'l say on the workshop or website page. The mod listings in this box, must match what the folder name is on your server. If you've added any manually and not named it using the ID, you must make sure it matches what you've named it.
