America's Army News

This is a small bugfix update preceding our new content update later this month. Our Great Outdoors Map Contest entry period has closed and judging is currently underway. We have narrowed down our top 10 already, and will be announcing the three winners very soon. Join our conversation on the forums to see more!

• Hospital (all maps) lighting restored to former state
• The activity feed now has appropriate icons for ROE violations and ROE bans
• VOIP keys no longer register when using text chat
• Admins no longer get kicked every match when playing on a password protected server
• Officials sorted to the top of the server list and all server properly sorted by ping from lowest to highest
• Fixed an issue where some servers would not appear in the Favorites or History tab
• Players may now sight/unsight during crouch-to-standing and standing-to-crouch transitions

Our January update is focused on fixing known bugs and preparing for our content update next month. We’ve fixed some ADS issues with the weapons, made quality of life improvements to the server browser, and fixed many small bugs with our new UI. On top of that we were able to fix quite a few environment issues, audio issues, and some of the community’s top reported bugs. Read More

This update fixes some input issues with the UI, adds a few new UI features, adds army facts and trivia to the AAR screen, fixes a few audio issues and closes a few memory leaks.  If you haven’t heard already, we are hosting a map building competition where we will select 3 maps as winners and include them with the game as an official map.   Read More

The latest update to America’s Army: Proving Grounds includes our first new map since the game released, Checkout.  We also improved the audio by integrating AstoundSound®, which is a 3D effect that takes into account the Z-axis when playing sounds.  The ROE system has been improved to help limit griefers and we have fixed a few bugs with stats not getting reported, weapon challenge issues and other things.   Read More

We would like to thank everyone that participated in the beta to help make this version of America’s Army the greatest ever!  Keep reading to see some of the big changes we have been working on and if you haven’t already, Download America’s Army: Proving Grounds on Steam to experience it yourself!

There are a lot of options available to server admins that host their own servers.  You can always get help with configuration on our forums or check out this Steam Guide on all the options and the effects they have. Read More

With over 850 maps available on the Steam Workshop at the end of the beta, I’m sure you will want to update your maps so server owners can run it after the beta has ended, because the old maps will not work on the new version without being saved and published again.  The process may be very simple or may take some time depending on how many custom assets and sounds you used in your map.   Read More

Weapon Challenges test a player’s skill with the weapons of America’s Army: Proving Grounds. Each weapon has its own set of tiered challenges that require the player to perform certain tasks with that weapon. Completing the challenge provides the player with rewards such as bonus experience, weapon skins, and new optics. A new, more difficult, challenge will then unlock for that weapon. Read More
