Great news! The update to Arma 3 on Linux has landed, bringing us up to 1.54. Not quite the newest, but better than what we had.
There's plenty of new content and fixes in the 1.54 update you can read up on here.
It's a huge update, but it's not without issues. I have reported them to VP (the porters).
Issue list (Tested on Ubuntu)
For some reason the game will revert to low textures for me constantly. Sometimes the option to go above "Low" on the textures dropdown doesn't even exist for me. Sadly due to this I've only done limited testing, as it looks quite bad on Low.
The audio will often totally bug-out on alt-tab.
BattlEye still isn't supported yet, but it should come down the line in future since it works on Linux now. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

If I'm not mistaken it was that game where they did not make any promises regarding linux support in the long run? Why would I buy the game in case it will stay as a beta all it's life?

Because it's the best f'ing game in the world?

Ok, played the update a little last night, performance is still excellent although there were just a couple of stalls where fps dropped to ~48fps for a second before returning to normal, averaging 90fps.
Apart from the new stamina bar, I didn't witness any of the improvements but I was only playing one mission and it's a huge game.

Quoting: IDNOonly bug i got is when i tryed to install exile mod and join a server
it will say exile mod not with your current arma version or something :P
How did you get the Exile mod ? It is not present on Steam Workshop, so I checked out the web site (http://www.exilemod.com/downloads/), but which file to download, which client to use, and mostly where put the file in ?
Thank you so much for your help, I'm so exciting about this mod ! I hope it will be working soon (maybe with the lastest version 1.56 and BattlEye support).

Berillions - Check that you aren't opted into the beta. The update was to the official build, I don't know if it was also pushed to the development build.
