    AA3 Update June 24th

    This one is big! Bad news is I doubt the server is updated so we won't be able to play on it.

    Updates to America's Army 3 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

    America's Army 3

    Removes Password from AA3Launch.log

    Fix for MBS not working after server changes to a new map

    Fixes TeamReady in Mission Preplanning

    Updated authentication SDK to improve reliability and performance

    Fix for freezing on training mission load

    Improved performance on loading maps/training missions

    Fixed several small memory leaks

    Fixed performance issue with server that caused it to load UI elements into the server (where they aren't needed) and thus use up additional CPU and memory.

    Modified training authentication so it is more efficient

    Modified AMD negative delta time exception handling so it no longer stops the server or client, but just logs the event

    Fixed Admin add Player Admin

    Fixed Admin kicking of players. Now works properly with Soldier name and has optional kick by player ID

    Add new AdminListPlayers to get list of players and their player ID's

    Removes most of the server log spam, especially that tied to missions and mission setup and ROE

    Fixes several issues related to ROE firing off when player is bleeding, asphyxiating, or falling after being wounded by ROE

    You can now strafe on ladders so you don't get stuck in Pipeline or Obstacle Course. Strafe too far and you fall off, just like AA 2.x

    Modified program startup to clear out any old ATS temporary files

    Improved scoring messaging support for training missions

    Fixes several scoring issues

    Optimizes more of the authentication code and adds better exception handling in it

    Adjusts STS (stats) integration to better detect invalid objects to avoid crashes

    Fixes issues with single player stats not correctly initializing all of the time

    Adds feedback to UI when player purchases training until purchase is complete (says "Purchasing")

    Modifies MBS to track how many players are playing vs. how many players are on the server (player + Spectators) and now MBS browser only shows the number of players (so the count won't exceed max players)

    Turns HUD off whenever menu is activated (still an issue with battle planner activation the first time, however)

    Adjusts the close menu logic to always close properly so double menus should no longer happen

    Improved console help

    Display of the Soldier clan name in the Soldier overview page and better console commands to set the clan tag and remove it

    Fixes an Admin VOIP setting issue and improves feedback to players and Admin when VOIP options are changed mid-game

    New "version" console command to see the current version

    Few more Admin help typos were corrected

    Version number will show as 3.0.3 on the login page and several related UI pages

    Has some MBS Browser performance improvements so lists should retrieve faster and more servers will be listed

    Has an INI option to try out a caching version of the browser that will avoid refreshing the list automatically when you leave a server - but this is disabled by default until it can be thoroughly tested for the next patch. We would appreciate your feedback on this item

    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

    Improvement (but not final fix) to issues relating to selecting the ammo type for the 320

    Good start. Still quite a few bugs (and a ton of features they need to add to improve gameplay) not addressed but instead of complaining, go rank up to Specialist!

    I joined a few servers this morning. It increases connectivity, but playability is still a major concern.

    At least things are improving wit each patch. I'll take that over ignoring bugs to add eye candy (KAOS: FFOW) anyday.

    If your game is still reading 3.0.0 even after you patched its just a programming error.

    -Disable your auto-login
    -Logout
    -Log back in with password

    Should now read 3.0.3, even though you read 3.0.0. you are still patched and can join servers

    I'm finding lag is now the dominate factor determining playability besides the kick back to the main menu when joining a server issue.
