Happy Independence Day!

Just in time for the July 4th weekend, we're rolling out another patch will solve some additional issues and improve certain functions, and is available through the Deploy Client and Steam. Here's what this patch contains:

Patch Version 3.0.4

• Improved console help
  
• Added Clan support. Add clan tag in Account Settings. You must change information while in single player mode for now.
  
• Admin VOIP Improvements
  
• New "version" console command to see the current version
  
• Server browser performance improvements
  
• Fixes joining password protected servers so it no longer selects the server underneath the mouse cursor when clicking on the "Join" button in the password entry dialog.
  
• Fix for settings menu improperly closing when ESC pressed and leaving the player stuck with no UI and limited control
  
• Mission generation optimizations
  
• Fixed issue with logging into game servers that sometimes used another player's soldier profile.
  
• New TS3 SDK integrated
  
• Improves how server manages authentication objects
  
• Fixes issue with players being added to the scoring system not having all of their scoring data written.
  
• Fixes issue where players not logged into MBS were being logged out if they left the server prior to authenticating
  
• M320 grenade attaching issue resolved.
  
• Dedicated server title bar now shows mission and player details
  
• Fixes the "Waiting for other players" UI so it now appears again.
  
• Removes some server logging
  
• Increased communications handling to support when all players use heavy load outs. This may correct many instances where players didn't spawn correctly or get the correct load out.
  
• Fixes the M320 getting an extra round of ammo
  
• Fixes the Account Settings password changing not working properly
  
• Fixes the IRC link not working
  
• Fixes the displayed mission type (assault/defense/etc.) shown in the battle planner so it displays properly after side-swapping
  

Enjoy the new patch and the holiday weekend!

Before patching, you can copy your entire Americas Army folder from:
"\Steam\steamapps\common\america's army 3" into a new location.
This will give you a copy of the old version, so if the servers are slow to update you'll be able to play on both versions. As soon as all the servers roll over to the new version you can delete this one.

It's a good idea to rename this copy once you've made it, eg this one would be "America's Army 3.0.3". Leave the steam folder named "America's Army" so you don't interfere with steam or future updates.

To run the game directly out of the folder navigate to:
\america's army 3\Binaries
and execute (or make a shortcut to): AA3Game.exe

Why the **** is the patch size so huge, that patch doesn't have any major additions to it..

lol huge patch.. but all g atleast their prompt.

1+ gig for a bunch of minor tweaks lol?

This better not count to my downloads as its comes from internode and their my ISP

if it says 3.0.4 in the login screen that means im completely updated right?

So long as the correct mirror is selected in your steam options slain, shouldn't be a problem.

No Aussy servers are updated as yet.

Yeah. Gay how no aussie or NZ servers have changed yet, the time will come.
