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".

Download the updater Here

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

Running the ahk manually

Install Auto Hotkey v2
Download the latest version as .zip here from the GitHub Repository
Extract the zip to a folder
Run "Olympus Mission Updater.ahk" with AutoHotkey

Using

Open the application
Select which mission files you'd like to download
Click "Download"
The mission files will be downloaded to your MPMissionsCache (%LocalAppData%\Arma 3\MPMissionsCache)

Note: it does not matter if you are in game when you use the updater.
