Olympus Mission Updater Instructions

Downloading Olympus mission files through our mission updater allows for joining the server significantly faster by pre-downloading mission files, rather than downloading through Arma 3 which has an average download speed of 128Kb/s with a max of 1 Mb/s.

Why

Downloading mission files through this updater is magnitudes faster than downloading through Arma 3 and has the benefit of not adding extra load to the server's constrained network.

Running

There are two ways to download the mission file:

Compiled .exe

When running the application, you will likely have to ignore the SmartScreen warning by clicking "more info" then "Run anyway".

  1. Download the updater Here

If you do not trust that the .exe matches the source code, you can run the .ank manually.
