- Original Hardware
- PC · Steam digital edition
- Playback Compatibility
- Continued access requires the archive account, Steam’s support for the title, and Bohemia multiplayer services where the client requires them.
- Preservation Concerns
- Multiplayer and mod-dependent holdings face elevated server and community-service risk. Account-bound licensing and the absence of a retained offline installer remain principal concerns.
- Edition History
- Steam release dated September 12, 2013. Live updates and DLC revise the licensed client in place; this accession records the account-bound digital edition in custody.
- Access Status
- Playable from the archive Steam library for as long as that license and the required services remain intact.
