🚨 Attention Arma 3 players on Mac 🚨
We will be rolling back the Mac versions of our Reaction Forces and Western Sahara Creator DLCs.
The current versions of the CDLCs have had high crash rates due to a mismatch of the base game data, and we believe rolling them back will provide a better experience for our Mac players.
However, this means Mac players will not be able to play on multiplayer servers until the latest Mac Port update (2.18) is released. This update is taking longer than expected, but we will get it out as soon as it is ready.
You can however still opt into the Mac 2.18 Release Candidate testing branch via access code: Arma3Update218MacRC
That RC build contains the latest version of both Creator DLC, but it is not yet ready for full release.
We understand this is not ideal, and we apologize for the temporary inconvenience.

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 a Creator DLC. Additionally, a Creator DLC's theme or setting might be very different from regular Arma 3 or not everyone might want it to be visible in their game.
- How do I launch Expeditionary Forces?
You will need to visit the DLC section in the Arma 3 Launcher, make sure Expeditionary Forces 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 Expeditionary Forces content, Tiny Gecko Studios has published a "compatibility data for non-owners" via the Steam Workshop. Be aware that access to the DLC's premium mini-campaign and multiplayer scenario remain exclusive to owners of the DLC. Restrictions to the use of non-owned content also apply.
