Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Arma 3 Creator DLC?
  Creator DLC is a label for original Arma 3 projects made by third-party developers and published by Bohemia Interactive. This program enables external talent to earn a financial reward for their work, while players get to enjoy more new quality content. For more information, please visit the Arma 3 website.
• Why is Creator DLC optional to install?
  We have decided to make it optional to have the Creator DLC data installed. This is mainly to avoid regular Arma 3 installations from requiring a lot more additional hard-drive storage, even for those who have not purchased Creator DLC. The second reason is that a Creator DLC’s theme or setting might be very different from regular Arma 3 and not everyone might want it to be visible in their game.
• How do I launch Spearhead 1944?
  You will need to visit the DLC section in the Arma 3 Launcher, make sure Spearhead 1944 is owned and loaded, then launch the game by clicking the PLAY button.
• Can I still play together with people who do not own the DLC in multiplayer?
  To enable non-owners to still play on multiplayer servers that make use of Spearhead 1944 content, Heavy Ordnance Works has published a “compatibility data for non-owners” via the Steam Workshop. Be aware that access to the DLC’s premium Normandy and Mortain terrains, campaign, as well as singleplayer and co-op scenarios remain exclusive to owners of the DLC. Restrictions to the use of non-owned content also apply.

“This trailer/video may only be displayed if it is behind an age-gate that: (1) is age-neutral (i.e. requires the user to input their date of birth or select it from a drop-down bar; (2) employs reasonable technical measures to keep underage users from re-entering their age after initially being denied access; and (3) does not display any ESRB rating information on the video player or the age-gate itself. Failure to implement these requirements may jeopardize your ability to obtain material of this nature from us in the future.”
