Load multiple DLC maps
Hi!
Does anybody know how to load multiple DLC maps in Arma 3?
I own various DLCs, but it is not advisable to run them all simultaneously due to compatibility issues (such as messing up with the menus). Therefore, I run one at a time. However, this makes it inconvenient to create missions in the Eden editor since only the currently loaded DLCs' map appears in the menu. Thus, I have to switch back and forth between DLCs if I want to play (create a mission) on a different map. For example, Altis, Stratis, Tanoa, Malden, and Livonia are always available under single-player/editor, but Cam Lao Nam, Grabeta, and Weferlingen only appear when the respective DLC is loaded. Since I find the DLC/map switching annoying:
do you know a way to have all maps loaded simultaneously without having all the DLCs loaded at the same time?
Best,
Julio

All maps its not possible, because the SOG DLC and CSLA DLC have different (his own) main menu. But you can use the SOG + GM DLC or CSLA + GM. I didnt have buy the CSLA DLC but i use all the other maps (Altis, Stratis, Tanoa, Malden, and Livonia) + SOG + GM without any conflict.

There is a mod that overrides all menus, might be worth a try.

I had try this mod as it was avaible, you have the old main menu but its not possible to play the main campaigne (altis/ stratis), its the same like before only the main menu screen will change!

Only the Creator DLCs (Global Mobilization & Prairie Fire) and the Contact DLC are optional. All maps to the other DLCs, assuming you own them, are available to you in the Eden Editor.

To also load the 1984 Germany, the 1968 Vietnam, or the Livonian maps from the Contact DLC you need to make sure the DLCs are checked in your launcher before you launch the game.

Naturally, you will only be able to chose one of the maps you have loaded to create your mission, but you will have every map that the normal DLCs, and every optional DLC you have checked, and every mod maps you have subscribed to.
