How do I remove binding in controls settings

[rigid solstice]

Anyone know the height of infantry, jeeps, supply trucks and the BMPs in meters???

[sturdy bay]

infantry I think was 1.8 m. When AR first came out I was testing rangefinding on stream and made a little video about.

I have no idea about the height of vics though, I guess you could try and measure it based off the height of a dude in game. The way I'm doing it probably isn't the correct way to do all this ranging stuff but later I went into the editor and actually measured and the numbers came out really close.

here is the stream of me going over ranging stuff:
https://youtu.be/PRntVyx0_DA

[topaz whale]

I imagine you can check the height of the vehicles using the world editor

[rigid solstice]

A saw your YouTube before hand! Now I've been trying to dig. I know the jeeps are roughly same size as the infantry. I saw you ranging the BTR. But now trying to figure the supply and mobile HQ trucks

[uneven rose]

So with the cross play update dose that mean private servers on console? Or will we need ppl on PC to host sessions for us

[crimson fractal]

I saw klamacz say on twitter that when crossplay launches we'll have the opportunity to host servers for console

[wary flare]

nice

[magic pebble]

how are you planning to support the "Candidate build' with such low player count? won't that split the current small player base even more?

[sand verge]

Q: Will the asset limit be lifted for PC players when the game/engine is in a more optimized state?

[rigid solstice]

I also think Jeeps are 1.8m they are just about the same as infantry

[trim sky]

Got an estimation on how many weeks the major updates will be out

[signal spruce]

More details on our plans within a few weeks.

[acoustic kite]

im new to this server and i was just wondering id this is the discord for arma3 on playstaion?

nevr mind lol

[half locust]

A3 is PC exclusive
Reforger might be on playstation 5 post early access

[jolly moth]

Sadly, A3 will likely never reach console

[magic pebble]

It's a billion year game

[austere nimbus]

unless Arma 3 gets rewritten on the Enfusion engine it's technically impossible to have it on consoles 😉

[jolly moth]

A3 remastered lol?

[austere nimbus]

Well, if A3 files are being released as Content Packs (like A2, which resulted in CUP), I'm sure someone will port everything to Enfusion.

[jolly moth]

Yep

[lusty vector]

Is arma reforger gonna be on PlayStation or even arma 4 Or do I gota restart everything and buy a Xbox ?

[slow pagoda]

if on playstation it will be after the early access

not sure if there was anything definitive said about that

[crimson fractal]

According to devs it will be on PlayStation after early access period

[slow pagoda]

there we go!

[lusty vector]

Good lol I was scared that I had to buy a Xbox just for arma lmao 🤣

[crimson fractal]

No telling how long after early access it will be though, just bear that in mind

[lusty vector]

Yeah

Sooo anything for combat vehicles? Such as IFVs or Tanks or even boats ???????

[slow pagoda]

possibly in the future.

[frosty crescent]

We most likely will in the future once early access is gone, if not the modder community will most likely be making tanks, theres a test one in the workshop rn however its only in testing phase atm

[lusty vector]

👌

[fathom python]

Can we get a refund on the game since it was a scam?

[digital cargo]

if it exists then it's not a scam

[sand verge]

How is it a scam?

It was labelled “early access” and “pre alpha” and they have consistently been treating it like that, no hype built either

[half locust]

it is not a scam, you can try contacting BI directly for a refund if that is what you want

[digital cargo]

imagine asking for refund when they didn't even bought the game

[jade yoke]

Well it was stated that there would be 12 months of support (early access) and then should be full release. Obviously this is subject to change, all depends on if they run into problems or not.

[primal zenith]

Currently on xbox their seems to be too little gamaster servers available as they are mostly all filled. Is it possible for the arma developers to add both modded and vanilla servers as we seemed to have no empty servers for being game master.

[signal spruce]

We can evaluate activity/server needs, but we will likely never add “modded” official servers.

[thorn furnace]

Guess the merge can't come soon enough; would love to have the problem of full servers rather than empty!

[primal zenith]

That makes sense so I am assuming thats where pc crossplay comes into play. To allow xbox users to use mods on unofficial multiplayer servers?

[signal spruce]

Correct. 🙂

[primal zenith]

Thank you for answering my questions

[primal zenith]

That's true but hey. Can't go wrong with a few more extra servers.

[thorn furnace]

I actually don't mind the low player count; it's nice bumping into the same people every day, gives a community feeling.

[primal zenith]

Let's take this talk to discussion or pms. Id like to talk more about this.

[north bluff]

Will we be getting snow eventually?

[crimson fractal]

This is widely known

[jade yoke]

Yes so Playstation probably has to only wait for the full release, Session did the same thing game preview on xbox/steam Playstation's version is coming Sept 22nd which is launch day for the full release. Obviously this is a different game developer but I'd assume the same to happen.

[crimson fractal]

[jade yoke]

I don't think PS owners will have to wait extra time after full launch on xbox. Is what I was getting at.

[wary flare]

Ok?

[old shuttle]

When player base coming back

[crimson fractal]

Soon (TM)

[wary flare]

You sure?

[random cape]

That's going to be a lot tougher to port than A2->A3 was, and some assets were already 'better to just remake from scratch' going from A2 to A3

[trim sky]

Will we get advanced medical mechanics and that blacking out feature from arma3?

[signal spruce]

There are plans for improving the medical system. That much I will say.

[sand verge]

nillers can you give insight on the type of technology that viewports for vehicles will use :C

[trim sky]

thanks man

[magic pebble]

Hopefully, we don't have to take five minutes to heal back after being shot.

[tame mural]

You should pray to survive once being shot.

[magic pebble]

Praying takes like three seconds so it's a good system.

[wary gust]

I can't download one mod all the time

download failed
is there anyone know how to solve it?

[dreamy tulip]

Hey man when is the load out save bug going to be fixed

[signal spruce]

@fathom python There is no need for casual threats or aggression. Keep it civil.

[fathom python]

[frosty crescent]

When will the apc get fixed so bullets from small arms dont kill players on the inside-

[primal zenith]

Will the update be next week. Or the following week?

[wary flare]

i think next week not sure

[signal spruce]

Next week, but more information updates hopefully this week.

[north bluff]

Will there be cross platform play between Xbox and PlayStation when reforger is fully released.

[austere nimbus]

Based on the current source code it supports PC, Xbox, PS and crossplay between all three.
Can't see anything about Xbox and PS only (excluding PC)

[valid shale]

what small arms do you have in mind? BTR-70 is protected against 5.56 rifles and 7.62 machineguns

[frosty crescent]

Ak, m4, m60, m249, m9, makarov

[valid shale]

and can you tell where BTR-70 is not protected against those weapon?

[frosty crescent]

Basically everywhere im able to shoot players inside everywhere, ontop of that im able to kill a player taking cover on the other side, edit i do have clips of me doing it

[valid shale]

please share those clips if you can because I cannot reproduce it

[frosty crescent]

Would i have to dm you?

[valid shale]

if you prefer, yes

[frosty crescent]

Alright just uploading the clips now should take a few minutes

[crimson fractal]

Are there plans to improve the transition from day to night and vice versa?

[magic pebble]

Post it here too. I want to see that

[frosty crescent]

I cant post it on here and im not showing a bug to someone who isnt a dev, admin or moderator,

[magic pebble]

lame

[frosty crescent]

Boohoo-

[scenic sable]

I've had this issue on xbox as well in a gamemaster server with my friend. Spawned some ai and we were in the btr. If I recall it looked like the rounds get through the turret and around the turret ring and the periscope on the front of the vehicle. Sometimes the sides too

[frosty crescent]

Thank god im not the only one

[scenic sable]

Its defenitely a weird one

[worthy vault]

Whilst the game is in early access can we expect to see new weapons and weapon accessories I.e optics, on the official servers? Or will we have to wait for private servers and use community mods?

[scenic sable]

I think most of this is confirmed as in the works. However recall the time period the game is set In officially. Late 80s the m1 abrams only just came into service so the tech available is fairly limited

[worthy vault]

I was thinking more along the lines of say bolt action snipers, shotguns, smgs. Rather than just the assault rifl, lmg, dmr, pistol we have now

[scenic sable]

Depends what was in service with the US/soviet militaries at the time I guess

[frank scroll]

Bro tbh, for the beauty this game is, I expected it to be way more expensive, only 30euros was a shock.

[thick silo]

still having issues with key binds. anything about a possible fix for the keys that are hard bound and can't be changed (like caps lock for VON toggle)? currently having issue with my right mouse button. regardless of what action i bind it to, it seems to be activating my proximity chat. whether i have it set to default ADS, or as i prefer Jump, it also activates my speak function and locks it in the open setting.. quite annoying.
was fine before this last patch. what the hell... i thought we were moving forward with this game, why are we moving back?

[thick silo]

can a dev possibly chime in on this?
why does the chimerauserinput.conf only contain the list of binds that have been changed in-game and not all available binds?
is there a way to access what the engine deems as a default bind through the workbench application?
why are some binds hard bound and others not?

[austere nimbus]

why does the chimerauserinput.conf only contain the list of binds that have been changed in-game and not all available binds?
Most likely to keep the file small and code to set the keybinds fast, because it only has to modify the binds which are different compared to the ones already known.

You could argue that just having all keybinds in there would be faster (since it doesn't need to update), but in that case it would break if new keybinds were added or if mods add additional keybinds.

[thick silo]

well, why don't we have access to all actions? nothing would break if a new action is added if nothing gets bound to it.
but with hard locked binds like "talk over radio" bound as (double caps), it seems to have broken something, as other keys that are not bound to that action are now activating it.
why have we yet to have an option in the control settings to (clear all binds). i'm having a hard time understanding such decisions on BIS's part here.
before i couldn't play a game for more than 20sec at time without getting disconnected, now i can't play at all because the binds are messed up and doing multiple actions regardless of what i bind or unbind.. kind of getting frustrated here.
i'm sure there is a file that can be edited in the workbench app that could possibly fix the problem, but the shear silence from BIS is really depressing.

wow.. ok, something messed up just happened

i'll try and get a screen cap of this

right, can;t post a screen shot...

so, while in-game. going through the options/controls, clicking on the "talk over radio" toggel bind, it seems to have bound everything i tried to bind to it, it just didn't update the call out in-game.. so it still says it's only bound to CapsLock as a double click, but in the userinput file, there are 20+ binds linked to it

[austere nimbus]

if BIS would be involved it would be a completely different game, or simulator for that matter

But all jokes aside, I get the problem of not being able to rebind all actions and I agree this needs to be implemented. And looking at the feedback tracker all your issues are being reported, and based on my knowledge of Enfusion not a big issue to do either.

Just keep in mind it's in early access and things like this can only be fixed when people report it through the correct channels, and will be worked on when more pressing issues are fixed.

[thick silo]

something is seriously wrong with how the key binds are being handled here

[ivory spire]

How long is it gonna take to actually fix disconnects?

[umbral shadow]

will there be an update today?

[crimson fractal]

No

[austere nimbus]

Till 1) BI manages to find and fix all issues around connectivity and 2) people help them with structural feedback regarding their disconnects.

[ivory spire]

Most disconnects seem to happen at random. And its been two months since release and its still an issue. Although I do see kicks happen when people start a vote, and the vote fails they still get booted

[foggy ridge]

dcs went down from multiple times within every game to once every other game for me

[charred dawn]

Anyone know what the best harness/Alice rig is?

[thorn furnace]

If you want the most slots, then Grenadier, if you want the biggest slots, then Machine Gunner

[viscid zealot]

At the rate they fix thing … 1 years 😂 game is still unplayable since launch and lost almost all it player base …. It well a huuuuge fail bigger than cyberpunk

[half locust]

cyberpunk was not released as a early access though

[night swallow]

Is there any way of having arma reforger on playstation

[primal zenith]

Ps3? I doubt that can run reforger

[austere nimbus]

Reforger is not available for Playstation, and it's not confirmed yet that it will be. Although I do expect it will come to the PS5 after early access has ended.

[night swallow]

But like the ps4

Is there any way to do that

[sand verge]

yeah just put in the disc

to be honest I don't think they should have released reforger for the weaker xbox x or s which ever it is.

[night swallow]

Not funny 😐

No really, how ?

[sand verge]

I dont think there is a disc that why its funny

[night swallow]

I know

But its not funny

[austere nimbus]

We won't know if it will be available on the PS4 or 5, until BI releases an official statement about it.
But we do know it won't happen at all as long as it's still in early access, because Sony doesn't allow it

[night swallow]

Thank you

[signal spruce]

We plan to release Arma Reforger for PS5. That much can be said at this time.

[primal zenith]

Why not on the series s? It works fine frames wise

[night swallow]

So not the ps4

[sand verge]

@primal zenith because less memory

[signal spruce]

That much can be said at this time.

[primal zenith]

But i dont see why you wouldn't release it on series s. The series x is still rather hard to find

[topaz whale]

PS1 🤞

[austere nimbus]

y u no release on Atari

Keep in mind that the PS4 is almost 10 years old, so I doubt the hardware will be able to give a pleasant experience playing Arma Reforger, especially when modern hardware already has some issues with it (and I'm talking about game PC's, not even consoles, which are already downgraded)

[halcyon delta]

when is crossplay with pc is that in bewwet ps5?

[copper lake]

#reforger_questions message

[calm osprey]

Any idea if server hosting at some point will be changed to how arma 3 did it? Would be nice to have an easy way to play with my friend in Zeus.

[brittle agate]

What do you mean with "how arma 3 did it" ?
You can already download the server files and set up your own server just like in a3

[calm osprey]

I mean as in just launching up the game and going into the menu and pressing host. I’m honestly not the best with servers as I looked at it and I’m not really the smartest of people.

[orchid geyser]

Where does one need to hit BTR to blow it up, and how many rounds? A single LAW isnt going to do the job, is it?

[digital cargo]

a single LAW never enough

[sand verge]

Why so? Series S is fine, has no issues any more so than anything else. Therws no real difference in power from S to X, graphics capability only better.

[magic pebble]

A single law is enough if you are close. If it doesn't burn then you will kill the crew.

[foggy ridge]

HEDP grenades kill the crew also and you can carry way more of these

[orchid geyser]

Can a damaged vehicle be repaired? if so, how?

[halcyon delta]

thex

[magic pebble]

afaik it's not possible to repair vehicles currently.

[jade yoke]

After the early access phase, full release will be on PS5 not PS4 or 3.

[silk sedge]

Any single player mods yet

[rustic frigate]

how do i become game master on official servers? i was told to come here

[signal spruce]

You can vote via the player list. The player who is voted majority will gain the game master role.

[rustic frigate]

okay yea i got some help in game someone just told me i had to come here and sign up or something like that

[sand verge]

Big troll lol

[sand verge]

yeah but its funny, im still looking for that arma reforger ps1 disc

[dusty hound]

I grant you your wish. You are now the Gamemaster !

[jade yoke]

Anyone know if hit reg & AI tweaks are coming in an update?

[magic pebble]

Supposedly there is an update next week but we have no idea what in it

[ancient rapids]

Prob a bunch of fixes and a couple new bugs 💩

[random scarab]

How do all the mods work? Do they work in game on multiplayer

[jade yoke]

If you're playing on xbox then no multi-player mods yet, only works solo.

[primal zenith]

Is arma reforger only on next gen?

I don't see this game running on last gen at all if it isn't

[signal spruce]

Currently only on PC and Xbox Series X or S.

[glass sinew]

Have the multiplayer issues been sorted out?

[topaz whale]

No but they are better for a lot of people at least

[halcyon delta]

It alto of fun still

[topaz whale]

Yeah sometimes. I always find myself getting dropped at the worst time. Like today when I was attacking the enemy base, grabbed a radio from the MHQ, got kicked, came back in, no radios left and my body was gone. So I walked 600m to the base. Got to the outside. Team won the game. Frankly I think Conflict is really anti-climatic. Which makes me think that maybe I'm better off getting Squad next time it's on sale.

[low fox]

Helow evrybodyyyy

I have a important question, how i can recruit the IA Soldier for my Squad? in Solo mode

Oh yes, sorry, Arma Reforger

[supple burrow]

will the "Release Candidate Builds" be available to everyone or do you have to apply for access to these versions?

[arctic rune]

there is no ability to recruit AI soldier, or give them orders, in the game at the moment

[low fox]

All right, thank you men, I hope in the futures update, bohemia add this feature

[topaz whale]

I believe I read a comment by a dev that said they were working on that

[low fox]

BRUTALITY NICE MEN THIS IS GREAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS MEGA BRUTALITY K.O INFO 😍

[uneven rose]

So can one access the mod workbench if I only own the game on Xbox?

As I’m on xbox but wanna dip my fingers are not texturing and modeling

And idk if I need a PC copy to use enfusion

[sand verge]

you gonna have to have a pc

[topaz whale]

Could join a team of people and just do the work that is outside of the BI tools

[crimson fractal]

When will being banned because someone in your car died stop being an issue?

[half locust]

you need to own the game on steam to access the workbench, because these 2 work together (workbench uses game data)

@low foxedit your message before i drop some brutal infractions

[low fox]

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD sure

done

[lapis sun]

Is there any mods yet that introduce more of an Arma 3 style Eden editor to create and save missions yet?

[floral shadow]

Whens Cross play coming

[worthy helm]

I would guess when it's ready. It was mentioned in the last development post, so it's not fallen by the wayside.

[uneven rose]

Ah thanks

[halcyon delta]

Can we trun off crossplay?

[magic pebble]

There will be server with crossplay off and ones with it on

[halcyon delta]

thex

Do we have pay or rent sever?

[austere nimbus]

yes, or get a decent PC and host it yourself

[halcyon delta]

thex

[sand verge]

you forgot to say good internet too

[signal spruce]

Server admins will have the option, but there will be a mix of official servers that support both options.

[halcyon delta]

thex

[austere nimbus]

So now that the players had their roadmap, how about one for the modders 😉

[lyric obsidian]

So anyone tried any facetrack ?

[buoyant galleon]

This question is more geared towards devs or anybody working on reforger, but how close is reforger to being a completed game?

[topaz whale]

They just released a roadmap that should help you determine that: #announcements message

[eager ermine]

Will we have to purchase private servers

[topaz whale]

You already don't have to purchase private servers. What makes you worried you will need to in the future?

[peak thunder]

There is no mention of it or boats in the roadmap, but will we be getting a water occluder? If anything at least for the BTR.

[sand verge]

ben is that possible to mod it in?

[eager ermine]

I’m on console and didn’t know

[topaz whale]

Fair point. I guess I don't even know how things for Console work but I haven't heard anyone else be worried about that.

[peak thunder]

Not sure. I've never looked at adjusting occluders.

[peak thunder]

Just digging a little it looks like nothing is exposed for the occluders.

[random cape]

Not yet but they're planning to support private modded servers for Xbox in the future, I believe in conjunction with the adding of crossplay

[buoyant galleon]

So, 1 1/2 more years I suppose

[random cape]

The promise I saw was 'right up until Arma 4 is released'

[buoyant galleon]

So,
15 more years

[eager violet]

Yeah, I'm thinking 1.5 to 2 years from now: https://youtu.be/IZhqFWtTPsI

[floral shadow]

Is anyone making a decent life mod

[buoyant galleon]

Longer life cycle than BF5

[unreal pine]

where would vehicle repair be considered in the roadmap?

[austere nimbus]

Probably similar to refueling, since the logic is relatively similar.
And both are technically already in the engine, just not built out in the game

[lost moon]

I got a question would the electrical grid that’s planned for the future updates be kind of like one POI for the grid that both sides would have the ability to hit and make the power for the whole island go out say if it were nightime or is it completely different from that

[sand verge]

Nobody can hear me in game chat how do I fix this?

[austere nimbus]

1. make sure you press and hold the talk button
2. make sure you turned on your microphone
3. check the input settings in game and in Windows, and make sure it has the correct microphone selected

[bronze python]

So when will we get the first cotent drop

[topaz whale]

Ground Support?

[bronze python]

Yup

[topaz whale]

By the end of Q4 2022 like the roadmap says

[bronze python]

Q4?

[topaz whale]

Quarter 4 (Oct - Dec 31)

[halcyon delta]

at new year eve is when we see suffee

[bronze python]

Ah ok makes sense

[halcyon delta]

or around that time i think

[topaz whale]

It could be beginning of Q4 or End or could even be earlier if things go better than planned or later if they go worse. We'll see

[halcyon delta]

yea^

[arctic elm]

it says in the roadmap you can take electricity out

[halcyon delta]

i still dont know what means

[magic pebble]

It means there are switches that you can flip or maybe boxes that you can destroy to cut the electricity off in some part of the map.

[ancient rapids]

I think someone already made a mod for that?

[umbral shadow]

will there be an update tomorrow?

[austere nimbus]

I didn't see a Technical Statement yet, so guess not...

[halcyon delta]

it wed on pc and xbox is on thurday

if we get a update

[still canyon]

The recent ones were all announced on the day PC got the update.

[halcyon delta]

what was in the update?

so we still geting update on thurday?

[sand verge]

the typical backend stuff you as a normal player never notice probably

[halcyon delta]

ok

[silk patio]

When it says in the update notes “use interactive bipods on weapons”, is that only while in prone or also while crouching or standing against an object?

[jade yoke]

I'd like yo know more details about the interaction/functions coming with the ambulance's coming in the ground support update. As revives aren't coming until air assault update drops.

[sand verge]

like a3 more than likely @silk patio

[jade yoke]

Ah well I am just confused on if you will have to look/identify the injured area, and while looking at it apply the bandage. If so I'm really curious about how this will be done on xbox as freelook isn't particularly easy atm.

Maybe if they added toggle to the freelook?

[random cape]

Also curious as to drag/carry for said ambulances

[jade yoke]

Mee too hence the more details, don't get me wrong we got alot of information today, but that said there's alot of details missing imo.

[halcyon delta]

what i miss did they have a stream?

[jade yoke]

They dropped the Reforger road map that's all. You can find it in #announcements channel.

[halcyon delta]

oknvm then

Is the roadmap olny thing we geting this week?

[jade yoke]

Should be getting an update this week, have to wait and see if we get an announcement or not.

[halcyon delta]

ok

[bronze python]

Any idea what the update will have

[jade yoke]

No, but hopefully cross-play is part of it.

[halcyon delta]

^plz

[bronze python]

Or some new fun things

[halcyon delta]

I really want crossplay 😦

[slow pagoda]

The roadmap outlines the big picture goals they have. Details likely come out when features get more ready to be talked about.

[wooden obsidian]

anyone know when the update will come?

[oak halo]

yes
(but they cannot tell)

[crimson fractal]

How does everyone feel about the rifle scopes being added separately with such a large gap inbetween them? Personally I don't like the idea of it being done like that and I think they should be added together at the same time

[modest pond]

Holy shit helicopters are coming to reforger ???

[magic pebble]

Yap in few months

[ancient rapids]

Yeah the official ones, cuz modded ones are already here.

[quaint cargo]

So no update today????

[halcyon delta]

Maybe torrmow

so roadmap was the big update i hope there a update torrmow

[quaint cargo]

There has to be. They have released more updates off schedule than on schedule at this point

[halcyon delta]

yea

[signal spruce]

It will be announced in a few, but this week's update will unfortunately be pushed to the next. Some last minute issues we discovered that we want to resolve first before publishing to the stable branch.

One silver lining is that this means another week of fixes and tweak's in one large update for next week.

[quaint cargo]

Happy to hear. As long as y’all are telling us what’s up I’m just here for the ride.

[signal spruce]

https://twitter.com/armaplatform/status/1554855928926769154

Arma Platform (@ArmaPlatform)

📻 Dear Community,

This week's #ArmaReforger update can unfortunately not be released. We want to ensure a stable build is published and need additional time to resolve some remaining issues.

The update will instead be released next week. Our apologies for the delay!

[crimson fractal]

Not the best news, but at least we know it's not coming

[sand verge]

Any word on 64 slots servers for Xbox?

[halcyon delta]

^

i think when crossplay we get 64 player

[quaint cargo]

Do we get to know what the problems were exactly?

[calm osprey]

Anyone know how to fix controlling a character and being able to see the helmet/face clipped infront of the camera?

[trim sky]

atleast it’s still this month

[deft turtle]

For all of you guys who claim that Reforger is fixed and it works "just fine" for you... then how come it only has 130 players on average for the last 30 days and only 100 right now? https://steamcharts.com/app/1874880

It is a fair question... because for me even after all the patches I still crash 70% of my games

[sand verge]

maybe because people want to play other things beside the basic reforger gamemode of conflict...

[deft turtle]

I don't think so because of those at least 10.000 initial buyers, very few where able to fully experience Conflict without crashes and most just left without even getting a taste for it (Left before the servers where fixed). I don't know if the refunds were so high or that the initial buyers are waiting for a bigger patch than just server fixes...

It is just weird that so many guys here state that the game is now working just fine for them yet the number of players is steadily on the decline... something doesn't add up

[sand verge]

k let me tell you want to hear, reforger is a bad game, bi is lazy, we should all just uninstall the game.

[deft turtle]

That is not what I want to hear... I want to hear what trully happened to those initial buyers and why aren't them coming back? There are three answers that I can think of:

1. Servers are not yet really fixed like many people claim and that is also my experience because I keep having crashes

2. The refunds were incredibly high so those "returning players" are never really going to return.

3. Players are waiting for a more meaningful content update

Those are the three options I can think off...

[deft turtle]

And please please don't uninstall the game! We need more players! 😉

[sand verge]

I bought the game first day, I only have 10 / 15 hours in the game, right now reforger is theologically incredible, but gameplay wise, I have played this since arma 2 so its not that interesting.

I also think a lot of consumers are dumb, so they see WOW new arma game. Its going to be just like arma 3 which I bought 2 years ago, its going to be so great... then they install the game, get confused by the lack of content and refund the game

[vale tusk]

this may shock you.. but its all 3

[deft turtle]

Didn't think of that... and indeed that is what makes more sense... a little bit of all

[vale tusk]

we dont need "more players" we need more mods, more content, more conflict features, more community created game modes, arma life, etc etc

[deft turtle]

I have always wanted that the Arma 3 devs officially ported some popular mods like enhanced movement and that is what Reforger gave me. I am happy about that but not happy about how more blurry everything is at a distance compared to just how sharp Arma 3 is. In the 500 meters or less range everything looks photo realistic in Reforger but looking past 1.000 meters everything becomes far blurrier than even Arma 3. It is an issue that also happens in DayZ so it is an Enfusion think. No matter my settings Arma 3 still looks sharper long range.

[vale tusk]

its silly to expect thousands of online players right now when its not even 1/3 of what is planned

just need time

[deft turtle]

Without players who is going to fill those game modes and modded servers? Remember that if Arma Reforger life takes 50 players that means that there are only 150 players for the other game modes and mods left.... we do need more players

[vale tusk]

they will come when those game modes and modded servers exist

right now they dont. its chicken and egg

[deft turtle]

That makes sense...

[vale tusk]

the inital rush of players was going to die off because they were buying into something they didnt understand

but it reached the intended audience (modders) and theres hundreds of them working hard right now

[deft turtle]

Hopefully they are not let down by the lack of players

[vale tusk]

if only you could see steam stats for Reforger Tools

[deft turtle]

The mods on the workshop are already pretty amazing... but still not bringing more players

[vale tusk]

but theres only a handful of actual game modes

and those are all lacking due to missing core features like AI driving, commanding etc

[deft turtle]

With Ai driving things will probably improve drastically regarding the game modes

[vale tusk]

yes... it will expand mine significantly

[deft turtle]

If someone ports Extraction from the Western Sahara cDLC I am all in!

[vale tusk]

in a few months you should see conflict reaching full speed and community created game modes starting to outshine some A3 equivalents

not much point in complaining about a lack of players until then really

its all I read about on this discord sometimes

[deft turtle]

Reforger is probably now on the DayZ path of getting players slowly and steadily over a long period of time. For some reason modding was never big on DayZ and so the game relied on official devs content to bring back old players and also new players but hopefully with all the new tools Reforger is different

[vale tusk]

the dayz engine isnt as good to work with as reforger imo

looks like enfusion but smells like RV

[deft turtle]

That is a creative way of putting it! And explains the lack of extensive mods

[arctic rune]

thats because its mostly RV, with elements of enfusion, like the renderer

[vale tusk]

yep

I have over 10 years in Unity and Enfusion is in many ways better than it (in many ways its also not, but still)

[deft turtle]

It is the renderer then... it makes objects and units super sharp in close proximity but far blurrier long range where you need those extra pixels to make up friendly from foe...

[vale tusk]

I also have about 4 years arma 3 modding experience and its by far the worst thing Ive developed for

so reforger and A4 has that going for it

I think in time as various modders (from in and out of the arma community) realize that, the content will only accelerate and multiply

[deft turtle]

Even with the modding tools that enfusion has today, do you think that an EDEN like mission editor is needed for Arma 4 or the current tools will do?

[vale tusk]

I do, but I also believe that gamemaster will evolve into that

its just bare bones rn and you cant even save/distribute it

but the roadmap outlined many improvements to it including that

[deft turtle]

Lets hope that it does! I always thought that the next iteration of the EDEN editor would be like the Arma 3 one combined with the 3den Enhanced mod at least but instead we got Game master with far less features... such a let down...

I am kinda exited for the save game feature that they will implement that seems to work with MP matches? If it does it will be a first time that BI includes an official way to save and load MP matches...

[vale tusk]

I have save/load working in my game mode in MP, its possible for modders to do it

they just havent gotten around to it yet for Conflict

or GM, I think conflict does save/load somewhat

[storm steppe]

is reforger worth it

[vale tusk]

it depends what you want. If its a complete and full A3-like experience but newer, then no

if you want to make mods or have a part in the development of the future of arma, then yes

[topaz whale]

You can. https://steamcharts.com/app/1874910#3m

At the height there were 300 people using them at once. Now that's down to about 30

[topaz whale]

Need the AI to be smart for me. All they do now is run at you and sometimes try to shoot at you through buildings.

[deft turtle]

So much for a "huge" modding community. Reforger is in full blown doa red alert indeed...

[deft turtle]

Everytime I get behind buildings, and I mean several walls past the Ai unit, the ai unit would just continue firing at me as if it could see me. I always thought it was an overblown/exaggerated suppression feature but perhaps it is a bug...

[topaz whale]

Someone posted a video a week or two ago of the AI tracking another AI through the floor and wall of a building and trying to shoot him. The AI he was targeting made several turns that he seemed to follow and shouldn't have been able to know about.

[ancient rapids]

Are you just using the basic saveload component? My conflict remix mission is currently not saving and never really got a solid confirmation if its just me or not.

[vale tusk]

no its completely custom

https://github.com/ArmaOverthrow/Overthrow.Arma4/tree/main/Scripts/Game/GameMode/SaveLoad

the saveload component on its own doesnt do anything, you have to provide a SCR_MissionStruct

and manually say what to save, and then manually respawn etc on load

[ancient rapids]

Thanks! I'll have to dig into that tomorrow! 😎

[crimson fractal]

Will the spawn issues be fixed with the next update?

[signal spruce]

Can you be more specific?

[crimson fractal]

Not spawning where you've actually selected

I wanted to spawn on someone at hornbeam valley, waited for the timer to run out, reselected the person I wanted to spawn on, made sure their icon had the white lines around it and everything, I was spawned at levie

[jade yoke]

This happens to me quite often as well, and is annoying af.

[crimson fractal]

It's been happening since the game came out and has been talked about for just as long

[floral shadow]

I love how you ask a question and you get half a reply and no answer

[shut cosmos]

Will linux server stability be improved with the next update?

[signal spruce]

Thanks for clarifying, I know this issue is known, but I'll have to confirm when it's likely to be patched. From my knowledge the issue sometimes lies with clicking the map vs using keyboard (A/D), where the latter will spawn you correctly. I'll see what I can find out.

[signal spruce]

Sorry, I had to sleep for a bit.

[deft turtle]

You are human after all! Don't mind the people who rushes you past your bedtime 😉

[crimson fractal]

I play on Xbox so I don't have the option to scroll through spawn points using A/D, however I've noticed it seems to happen regardless of if I click on the point manually or select it through the list

[signal spruce]

Sounds good. I'll pass it on. In the meantime, I found the tracker ticket for it (or similar experience): https://feedback.bistudio.com/T165165

[deft turtle]

I had the same issue and then I pressed the XBOX power button for a few seconds and the issue was fixed... my screen was blank thou... 😅

[crimson fractal]

That ticket pretty accurately describes what I've been experiencing

[half bramble]

Hey Guys! I'm new here, don't know if I should post this on this channel or another one so apologies in advance. Please point me to the right channel if it should not be here.
I'd like to know if there are plans to include custom poses/stances in Reforger or Arma 4 like the options we have in Arma 3 with ctrl + wasd. I think it's a great feature and I would miss it a lot if it isn't going to be included.

[half locust]

you have that option with ctrl + scroll wheel

also walk to run speed with scroll wheel

[half bramble]

Really? I might have missed it. Only the speed with scroll wheel, which i think some people will not like but I do a lot. The only other game that I remember doing this was sniper elite 1. Does ctrl + scroll wheel adjust height? I miss being able to adjust to the sides like when checking corners or going prone to the sides and being able to roll. Me and my team used it a lot especially when playing escape and going out of the prison with only a pistol.

[half locust]

you can adjust peek around corner as well

you are missing some stances

and you cannot prone roll

yet anyways

[uneven rose]

So with the new road map will all that be here by q4 or just the 1st mile stone?

[ancient rapids]

1st milestone, and i think thats an estimate, not for certain

[half locust]

and surely not by 4th quarter, but during/ by the end of q4

[lusty vector]

Why no tracked vehicles on the road map? Not trying to be an ass hole but I think there’s no reason to add ambulances:/ I rather see the M113 and the BRDM-2 then for Russias IFV to face off against the lav-25 the BMP-1 or 2. Just makes a lot more sense not gonna lie and then Moders can use your track system and work on manny cool tracked vehicles instead of having all the Moders work on there own tracks and take alot more time .. :l

[peak thunder]

Expect the ambulances to be prefabs for the existing vehicles, not completely new vehicles.

[lusty vector]

Why no tracked vehicles? It’s like a main part in war

[peak thunder]

It's also a different vehicle simulation module. Probably taking their time working on it to get it right. Would be great to have, but not exactly vital.

[deep cloak]

personally i hope they do take their time and get it right, i like armored combat more than infantry combat, but i do kinda agree it woulda been nice to have tracked vehicles like the M60 or T62 even

[sand verge]

Yeah one of the devs confirmed a improvement to next gen

[slim granite]

Question: With the reforger tools, can I import reforger models into blender to see how they have done things like make buildings? Like do they have ref models I mean like they did with A3 mod tools.

[half locust]

nope. But you can check all assets, including community made ones directly in the workbench

[signal spruce]

Rephrase the question? 🤔

[whole orbit]

Ah apologies only had 4 hours of sleep

[whole orbit]

My friend was concerned if arma 4 was going to be discontinued for console if Bohemia figured that consoles were going to be able to keep up with the game. With disconnects and all

[sand verge]

reforger is basically just a test for arma 4 right?

[signal spruce]

It's far too early to make any statement on Arma 4. As for disconnect issues, we are resolving those and addressing them as we find them with Reforger.

[signal spruce]

It's certainly a test bed on the road to Arma 4, yes.

[sand verge]

so its basically just a test for the future arma 4 release so they are just testing stuff they might or might not put in arma 4 via the reviews that people leave?

[signal spruce]

We have a set of features and assets which we plan to add to Reforger. It's still too far from Arma 4 to say exactly what may or may not be put into it, but community feedback is definitely helping to influence which things we might prioritize in the present and future. Especially when it comes to documentation.

[primal zenith]

Question. Could the effects mod be added into the gamemastermode? Feel like it would be a great edition into vanila gamemaster. Simple fire effects, artillery and smoke can go miles for immersion

[proven bone]

Can we expect more content than only the roadmap, or is that what reforger will have as definitive ?

[signal spruce]

The Roadmap is what we promise to deliver, however more can come, especially in terms of features.

[signal spruce]

This is already planned to be added.

[primal zenith]

Ah damn sweet

[hollow yew]

can pc servers use mods?

[magic pebble]

yes

[sand verge]

Is the 50. Cal jeep in the game? I haven’t seen it yet

[unreal pine]

Yes it is its in the tutorial and also in the game master asset menu

[sand verge]

£30 a bit steep for a test bed you not think? Got me siding with the trolls more and more some of the dhit I see in here tbh

[signal spruce]

You’re welcome to hold your own thoughts on it, but price is one of those things where everyone has a different opinion, regardless of the content.

[primal zenith]

Still people can make arguments on a products value. Sir.

[signal spruce]

I never said they couldn’t.

But how I value something and how you value it can be widely different. All comes down to personal opinion, use, and how one evaluates the investment.

[sand verge]

Right, yeah. Regardless of content, but 25/30 to help sort out connectivity. Highly valuable to devs, not so valuable to the player.

[primal zenith]

I won't be taking a argument here than. As i don't wish to be some prick. Il just say this. It could help to better describe the game as being a testbed rather than a full on game so player better know what they are buying into

As ive heard that complain going on a lot.

[signal spruce]

No need for argument, I can accept the feedback.

We’ve tried to be clear from our release announcement that this is stepping stone on the road to Arma 4. However, we still want to brings plenty of features, assets, and more along the way for this project. There is still a lot of time to build and I hope in time players will change their mind about the idea as fixes are made and updates are rolled out.

[primal zenith]

Alright than.

[deep cloak]

will the custom rig system be fleshed out? like instead of a specific rig could i make a rig that has nothing but STANAG pouches or compass cases lol

[signal spruce]

I know it has been discussed. I’ll have to confirm on Monday though.

[deep cloak]

👀

[primal zenith]

Than a more pressing matter in my personal time with the game. Trolls

It has been quite often ruini g ops on xbox. Id say 3-3/4 times. A group of trolls would spawn in game and team kill, killing themselves/stopping for a moment to restet their ban kill count or timer, whichever is being used.

Is there any way in the future that trolls can be prevented or delt with? In general and in game.

As kicking doesn't stop them from joining back

[signal spruce]

A lot of those issues we’re aware of and already plan to address some of them in upcoming updates.

[primal zenith]

Ok

[signal spruce]

Especially some of the ways people get around teamkilling and bans/kicks not sticking.

[topaz whale]

I think you guys may have got less flack had the roadmap been out at release. I know when I bought it I was surprised AI couldn't drive given how that is a fundamental Arma feature. Having it on the roadmap would have been an indicator that it wasnt in yet. But I was also surprised by the lack of listen servers and integrated mission editor which aren't on the roadmap and those are also fundamental Arma elements to me. So maybe you would have got less sales from having it out too.

[atomic meteor]

Honestly, private servers will be the way to go with not dealing with trolls. That’s what my group and I are waiting for.

[primal zenith]

I dont think privete servers were on the roadmap. It might be asking for to much

[atomic meteor]

It’s coming with crossplay, it’s already been confirmed from what I remember

[primal zenith]

I mean. You still need to buy a server or rent one. Thats not cheap

[atomic meteor]

Yeah, I got that covered fortunately.

[primal zenith]

Right. But for the rest of us who cant afford these fees. Especially costing 30 or 40 bucks a month. need to deal with trolls.

[atomic meteor]

Have you tried setting spawn in ocean with walls surrounding it? You could just teleport those who aren’t trolling. I feel you on that issue

[sand verge]

Is it in conflict?

[unreal pine]

No but the humvee is though, I imagine conflict will get a vehicle expansion at some point

[sand verge]

It would be nice to have the soviet equivalent of the humvee though

The btr is just to op against a humvee

[past hamlet]

when is the next reforger update (xbox)

[past hamlet]

the GAZ Tigr?

nvm too modern

[magic pebble]

That won't matter a lot when the us get the lav and soviet still stuck with the btr

[topaz whale]

Zhalo is a variant of the BTR-70 with a higher caliber gun

[sand verge]

zhalo is a prototype

[topaz whale]

and the army didn't use LAV-25s

[rigid yoke]

The Soviets also have a reloadable Anti Tank weapon which will also come with a magnified optic by the time the LAV and BRDM are are introduced.

[topaz whale]

well... until briefly in the 90s and 2018

[quaint cargo]

To be fair 50. Cal rips through btrs

[sand verge]

the armor is not done on the btr

[magic pebble]

To also be fair 5.56 rips through the humvee.

I did some test and 9mm was the only caliber that can't pen the humvee armor.

Although, that might be a bug because the metal parts of the humvee like the doors and the back armor are so easy to pen.

[quaint cargo]

Prob bugged like the btr armor was in the beginning I would hope

[topaz whale]

Pretty sure you can carry more LAWs than you can RPGs though

[magic pebble]

Even then what will an rpg do when a lav start raining explosive ammo from 2km away.

[violet dune]

When will 64 player games come out?

[sand verge]

always has been...

[lost moon]

He’s talking Xbox

[quaint cargo]

It’s a fair question tbh. I’ve been wondering it for some time but idk if we ever got a clear answer. I’m hoping it comes with cross play

[violet dune]

Yeah

[rose cradle]

how do I rotate buildables in Conflict?

[topaz whale]

I don't remember but I know the tutorial teaches it

[magic pebble]

Get close to the building box, look at it to see the choices, now look away and use the mouse wheel to rotate it then look back at the box to place it.

[slow pagoda]

there are no exact dates given on "when a feature X is implemented" answer to each of these kind of questions is simply, "When its ready"

[crimson fractal]

Isn't it four laws to a bag plus one on the shoulder?

[sand verge]

the rpg bag gunner can carry 2 rockets and the assistant can carry 3

[crimson fractal]

I checked, ALICE backpack can hold four laws, +1 on shoulder. Kolobok backpack can hold three laws, +1 on shoulder. However, Kolobok backpack will hold 6 RPG rounds, +1 on shoulder. But the ALICE backpack will hold eight RPG rounds, +1 on shoulder

RPG + ALICE backpack wins

[magic pebble]

The soviet grenadier vest can also hold two rpgs if you want to make that eleven

[crimson fractal]

For balance you can hold more American bandages than Russian ones as well

[quaint cargo]

The new meta⁉️😭

[crimson fractal]

Yes.

[surreal fable]

Will Bohemia add fullscreen option inside the game

[slow pagoda]

there is fullscreen option in the game

[surreal fable]

Borderless fullscreen is bad

[slow pagoda]

lets you alt tab out of the game though

[sand verge]

what bad about borderless :C

[surreal fable]

Borderless is basically windowed mode and windowed mode is bad because it drops your fps

[surreal fable]

In Arma 3 you have 3 display mode: Windowed, Fullscreen windowed (Borderless fullscreen), Fullscreen. You can see the diffrences between them in-game

Alt tab is bad!

[sand verge]

there is no way to enable fullscreen, maybe using steam start up perimeters for reforger, but no one says anything about how to do that or if its even possible

I also see somepeople saying that borderless is not a preformance issue due to the new API

[surreal fable]

Your display mode in-game affects your fps, mouse latency when moving around in every game. I hope Bohemia they will add **fullscreen ** option in display mode selection so some people will have a better experience in Arma Reforger and Arma 4

[ancient rapids]

i have almost a steady 60 fps no matter which mode im in

[surreal fable]

with borderless? nice bro your pc must be decent

[ancient rapids]

this laptop is a couple years old, but it came with a GTX 1660 Ti 😎

I thought it was pretty much minimum needed for reforger

[surreal fable]

damn..

[ancient rapids]

yea min is 1650 i guess

I dont know how much help my 9th gen i7 is with that

[surreal fable]

I think so I get like 30 fps with 1650ti laptop version on Ultra graphic

[sand verge]

ultra on a laptop... dreaming

[surreal fable]

😛 10 fps is playable

[quartz lance]

3060 Ti with 50% power reduction going from 200W to 90-100W and undervolted from 1.075v to 0.800v all game settings HIGH + some ReShade shaders that take 10FPS and still 75FPS stable all the time by 80% GPU usage. 🥰 😍 👍

[surreal fable]

that's fire 🔥

[slow pagoda]

with limited hardware there is not really much the devs can do for you

[sand verge]

Are we gonna have the option to customise key binds for items? (Bandages,weapons)

[quaint cargo]

Does anyone have any advice for measuring distance using the binoculars? I have tried using the field manual but cant really figure it out.

[austere nimbus]

wut?

[feral dragon]

Dumb question, can I holster my rifle on my back or ONLY double ctrl

[deep cloak]

atm i do believe its only double ctrl

[feral dragon]

Shame, but thanks!

[magic pebble]

If you press tab to open your inventory then drag and drop the rifle in it's original place the soldier will place it on their back.

[feral dragon]

Ooo, I'll have to try it

[near bramble]

Is the smoke grenades causing server crashes and lag fixed yet? Most importantly is it fixed on console?

[sand verge]

try throwing a smoke an see

[ancient rapids]

There's a mod for that

[feral dragon]

Of course there is

[bronze solar]

Anyone have any idea when the next update is to be released? And will the update contain the fix for saving loadouts

[lyric obsidian]

Wednesday i guess.

[ancient rapids]

I thought it was Tuesday's, unless you're on console?

[lyric obsidian]

Wednesday for Steam, i'm a PC gamer.

[halcyon delta]

Thurday for xbox series s/x that when we get crossplay so what i heard

[quaint cargo]

If we getting cross play will we not start getting updates for pc & Xbox on the same day?

[brave leaf]

When are private/modded servers comming out for console

[halcyon delta]

we chuold get wed but not sure

[austere nimbus]

To enable cross-play they first need to enable it in the game (so both PC and Xbox need an update), and so does the server (which should be at the same time as the PC update).
After that the servers need a change in settings for cross-play to be enabled.

Although I'm not sure if cross-play will be available already, since it means that future updates will require to be at the same time on PC and consoles (to prevent version mismatching). Otherwise PC/Server is updated and consoles can't play for 1-2 days because it has no update yet.

[dire dirge]

Are comms broken for everyone else? I'm on Xbox and can't hear anyone talking in prox or radio

[sand verge]

Is the update coming this week?

[lyric obsidian]

Dunno, will see tomorrow or wednesday.

[trim sky]

would be awesome if it was tomorrow

[sand verge]

Doesn't the dev report drop at least a day prior to the update tho?

[austere nimbus]

Uhm... No, doesn't have to. Could even be after the update has been released

[signal spruce]

Usually at the end of the week, but there is no exact set schedule. Just when we think we have some valid news and details to share.

[viscid zealot]

Dont expect too much anyway except if dc are fix and player number leveled up it wont really solve anything on the side of been able to enjoy it

[floral shadow]

Ay there's legit no full servers on console 1 server with 20 people actually sad as

[crimson fractal]

Several hours ago most of the 32 slot servers were full on Xbox, it's all about timing

[muted summit]

Are bigger server sizes back for console?

[kind yoke]

Yea they've been back for a while now

[muted summit]

Alright, I just haven’t played in a while because of that reason.

[halcyon delta]

We geting crossplay soon to

[sinful locust]

Have they fixed the ability to save a Single player conflict yet?

[ancient rapids]

I hope in the coming update this week! It's been really hard to find the motivation to play solo with no saves!

[lost moon]

Games dead on Xbox

[halcyon delta]

Most people are waiting for mod sever or crossplay severs

[lost moon]

Yeh

[hazy mortar]

I have a problem with my Arma Reforger.

I can't launch my Arma and i don't know why.

[jade yoke]

And region tbh, I'm in the PNW and servers are slim always maybe 1-3 32pl servers have a decent amount of players, and then there's like 2-4 16pl servers going with decent player counts. That said there are like 15+ servers that are 100% empty most of the time. I think player counts will start to rise after the ground support update is out imo.

[floral shadow]

Its dead on steam also less then 130 players ☠️

[halcyon delta]

yea same on xbox alto of xbox are waiting on modder seve i aj waiting for crossplay

[haughty maple]

Crossplay is what the Joint Task Force is waiting for.

[atomic meteor]

My group is just waiting for private servers. Don’t really want to deal with randoms and vanilla game mode

[halcyon delta]

ltcol slsvin you on console or pc?

rn i pre much solo

[sand verge]

I haven't tried Reforger yet, I am curious if anyone could tell me if the 9 stances that are on arma 3 are currently available on Reforger, or if they plan to patch that in later down the road?

[prisma pawn]

Instead of distinct standing positions, you can use Ctrl+mouse wheel to interpolate between stance heights seamlessly, adjustable prone and lower crouch stances are missing however. Additionally, left and right stance positions are also missing

I don't know if they plan to add them back

[sand verge]

or leaning around a corner?

[prisma pawn]

The waist leaning where you tilt is still there, the stepping to the side with ' adjust left/right' is not

[sand verge]

ah that works for now I think.

thank you, can't wait to try it

[wooden obsidian]

so do xbox players get private servers this update?

[jade yoke]

Didn't see it mentioned in the update report, so probably not.

[coral magnet]

ive been away for a while. did they fix the disconnection issues that plagued the game in the first month?

[crimson fractal]

For some, yes

It affects everyone differently so the issues you were facing could have been fixed months ago

[jade yoke]

Any mention of mkb support for xbox? I didn't see anything but I may have missed it.

[crimson fractal]

It might not be mentioned in the patch notes until the actual Xbox update

[round turret]

So how do you make a private server?

[sleek wharf]

its not in this update

[gusty prairie]

Oh is it planned then?

If so that's pretty neat!

[signal spruce]

It’s planned.

[gusty prairie]

Great, thanks for the clarification

[halcyon delta]

will xbox have modder sever when crossplay i am guessing yes but not sure

[sleek wharf]

yes, that's part of the point of having crossplay
You can see official and community servers already hosted, with mods. Just wait until xbox version gets updated tomorrow

[halcyon delta]

thex

[trail turret]

PC: is there a file to edit to make the joystick work with the game?

[uneven rose]

Will Xbox players be able to use mods in public community servers in this update ?

[half locust]

this has been answered a lot of time by now

public servers are not modded

[wooden obsidian]

it would seem there is a ton of confusion about it

[half locust]

privately own servers can run whatever the owner wants in terms of mods

[sand verge]

Will future updates now drop on both platforms concurrent with each other? Without the day gap in between

[valid shale]

private servers can be also public 😛 Official servers will stay unmodded with the only exception being C&H

[floral shadow]

Can't seem to join any cross play server

[tepid ravine]

Is there a way to invite people to private servers on console?

[valid shale]

I'm not sure about it - I haven't played myself on console in a while

[mossy cave]

Had anyone figured out how to enable crossplay on nitrado servers?

[wheat bolt]

When do console players be able to rent / play modded servers with out crashing and make the server private

[muted summit]

Where is the roadmap?

[random cape]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/roadmap

[round vigil]

How do console players make a private server

[austere nimbus]

buy a PC and host it from home, or buy/rent a server

[quick girder]

U have do the same thing as pc

[round vigil]

Fuck

[analog frigate]

can some one dm me as far as hosting a server on console.i Have a laptop an purchased a server from nitrado just dont know how to set it up

i also have the arma server downloaded on steam

[sand verge]

Crossplatform?

[crimson fractal]

Yes

[random cape]

As of today servers can be configured to support PC-and-Xbox-in-the-same-match, albeit Xbox players do not yet have keyboard/mouse (KB/M) support

[austere nimbus]

If console players want to play with PC players it's their problem to not have KBM

Most FPS games don't have cross-play for this exact reasons, because without KBM you're always in the negative. Unless some aim-assist gets implemented, but then it's unfair for the PC players.

[random cape]

FOR NOW (not having KB/M)... although from what I recall some console-designed/ported-to-PC games will add aim assist as an option when a controller is plugged in

[austere nimbus]

Usually bad ports, were KMB was even worse to use than a controller...

[primal zenith]

At the ranges played on mil sims? I don't know about that. Unless your getting face to face and barrel stuffing

[jade yoke]

So is there any way to search for custom servers on xbox? Can't see any modded servers at all when filtering for them.

[magic pebble]

Are you searching in the community servers?

[jade yoke]

No didn't know there was a community searching on xbox, I'll try and look tonight after work.

[grave ferry]

How do I find mod ID for modding the server when I'm on xbox?

[latent knoll]

How do I setup my server to be a cross play server?

I'm using Logic Servers if that helps

[atomic meteor]

My server says it’s up and running and I can’t find it. Help?

[steel kiln]

does anybody know when this next big update is????
around 1 week 1 month 1 year?

[random cape]

Not sure what you mean by 'the next big update' but we're looking at another minor update in one or two weeks, or a major one, while a so-called 'Milestone' update titled Ground Support should arrive in Q4 2022: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/roadmap

[steel kiln]

cheers

im just wanting more from game master

[random cape]

Oh, that one and two such updates announced for next year are all making Game Master changes

[steel kiln]

is that in an upcoming update?

ohhh so next year

[random cape]

Last quarter of this year and the first half of next year

[steel kiln]

😫 cheers

so nothing in game master has been updated since release?

[random cape]

Only minor changes... whereas in Q4 2022 it's supposed to gain a quick entity browser (Mini asset browser), the ability to save filter presets in the entity browser, the ability to interact with objects in the game world, and the ability to place already-crewed vehicles... this is an example of that first one: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/_next/static/media/gamemaster_update.ebe9849a.jpg

[steel kiln]

thanks man for the info

🙂

[random cape]

At some point in the first half of 2023 (I presume the first quarter of 2023) the Air Assault update will include the abilities for Game Masters to place artillery strikes, smoke shells, and other effects, and to link waypoints with specific entities (e.g. waypoint for destroying a specific vehicle). Additionally, there will be multiple save slots for Game Master mode as well as Conflict mode

[steel kiln]

nice

[random cape]

Finally, in what I presume to be the second quarter of 2023 (since the game went public in the second quarter of 2022), the Final Strike update would grant users the ability to share their saved Game Master scenarios with others.

This is in addition to, I'm certain, Game Masters getting access to all of the added characters (units), vehicles, and props added in all three Milestone Updates, and to 'play' GM mode in the Arland terrain (a 4 x 4 km summer Baltic island) introduced in Ground Support

For example, Ground Support also adds U.S. and Soviet ambulances, fixed and folding stock versions of the vz. 58 assault rifle (Sa-58 in the Arma series, possibly replacing the AK-74 among FIA?), a Colt 4x20 optic for U.S. rifles, anti-tank mines, and Medical assets as props... all of which should become available to the GM player

[jade yoke]

I hope we get more details surrounding the ambulance and features that involve them.

I assume the ambulances will carry medical supplies that you can grab, but what other functions will there be involving them 🤔 there are medical tents. Maybe that's more for the mods and custom RP servers.

[haughty maple]

How do I get the map/ mode Conflict: St. Philippe & Lamentin? What’s the scenarioID for this mode ? I can’t seem to find it In the Bohemia website. If someone can ping me the scenario ID I would much appreciate it. Thank you have a great night

[magic scarab]

Does any of community servers Working for Xbox Players? So, far i trying without success

[loud talon]

Bonjour est ce que y'a des francais pour m'aider a regler un probleme de keybinds?

hello i have a problem with the deplacement in game , i can't use straf left, back and lean left?

but i can go forward and straf right

[signal spruce]

English only here, merci. 😄

[signal spruce]

Are you on PC or Xbox?

[loud talon]

Pc

[latent knoll]

Hey guys I asked last night but I’m not sure if anyone saw, what would I have to do to make my server cross compatible?

[signal spruce]

Probably best to ask server questions in the #reforger_servers for future issues, but you'll want to adjust the config files to include the values here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Hosting#supportedGameClientTypes

[latent knoll]

@signal spruce I’ll make sure I do thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

[crimson fractal]

They do but it only seems to work if the server has no more than 2 mods currently

[ancient rapids]

really? only 2 mods? LOL!

[crimson fractal]

Ok

[ancient rapids]

that's unbelievably limited! 😢

[slow pagoda]

xbox has limited hardware

as far as I can recall mods have always been stated to have limited use on xbox

[sand verge]

you mean gimpedbox

you probably gonna have to combine mods into a single mod

[slow pagoda]

. . .

that single mod will likely not work on xbox

[sand verge]

is there a size limit?

[slow pagoda]

I dunno

but if there is limited amount of power coming out of a socket and just one socket you wont be able to power all your gadgets by putting them on same line and plugging that in

[sand verge]

bad analogy. I can pull 1920 or 1560 watts from mine depending on the ocpd

for continuous use*

[slow pagoda]

🙈

I suppose you are missing the point on purpose

[sand verge]

maybe its a bug or just a limitation for testing since they dont want people running with 100 mods and crying about how their server / game doesnt work on the feedback.

[crimson fractal]

[ancient rapids]

I wonder if there are guidelines modders should follow to make their mods xbox compatible

[sand verge]

I dont see any

its all fairly basic stuff like do's and don'ts and do you really need this in your script instead of something simple

[half locust]

the vast majority will follow vanilla content as it is available on pc (since modding happens on pc anyways). Will see how many will spend their free time to cater to a different crowd than PC (and where they cannot really test themselves). In theory things should work more or less the same until xbox limit is reached (and that limit is left to be seen)

[ancient rapids]

I saw a "platform hardware" under workbench > options > game project > engine. There is no pc & xbox option though. 🤷‍♂️

only one or the other

[grave ferry]

I was able to get modded servers to work on Nitrado for both PC and Xbox

[pulsar elk]

Will Arma 4 had a cinematic cutscene like Arma CWA or the cutscene Will be on first person view like in the previous Arma game ?

[signal spruce]

It's too early to comment on Arma 4. You won't likely get any answers for sometime related to it.

[pulsar elk]

Ok then

[gentle linden]

So I'm trying to host a server on my PC to play with my friend on Xbox with, I was able to make the server but I still dont understand how to make it crossplay, is it something i need to change in the .Json?

[solar forge]

yes, you need to enable both PC and Xbox for supportedGameClientTypes

see the example at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Hosting#Configuration_File

[flint pumice]

ahh found it^

[gentle linden]

So i was able to enable crossplay but now my friend said he is getting "code: group 1 'replication', reason=3 connection failure"

It just shows a black screen before the error message too

It also shows 999+ ping

Is this a problem with my PC or the .json again

[flint pumice]

i just got it to work and got freinds in the server so maybe internet connection problem with your friend?

[sand lake]

Yo how do I make a server with mods on it on xbox

[rough brook]

so umm, is there a way to quickly check out all the assets available in Reforger like 3DEN or a Virtual Arsenal?

[rustic frigate]

how do I make an objective as game master?

[haughty maple]

What’s the scenarioID for the mode Conflict: St Phillippe & Lamentin? Does anybody know ? I’ve seen only three servers with that mode.

[gaunt mortar]

You have to rent a server, than enable crossplay on the server script. And add in the mods manually to the sever. Best spot for questions about that is over on the #reforger_servers group of real helpful folk over there.

[haughty maple]

@gaunt mortar I understand the adding it manually. I’m trying to find the scenarioID or which mod it is so I can manually add the mod in the config. My only issue is trying to figure out what’s the modID for the conflict St phillppe & Lamentin
I’ve asked in that channel and I was Ignored so now I’m asking here m.

Appreciate it the help doe

[gaunt mortar]

Oh I have no idea brother. I was replying to respectfully earlier asking about how to host a server.

[haughty maple]

Rent from 4netplayers it’s very easy

[signal spruce]

@terse badge, please do not solicit or ask for games/keys/etc here.

[solar forge]

you don't need any mods, scenario id is {1AEE808E7689FE54}Missions/23_Campaign_NWCoast.conf for Conflict: St. Philippe & Lamentin

[terse badge]

I apologize

[earnest echo]

any chance of a sneak peak of the medic system?

[olive pendant]

Why did BI add to the EULA about owning all mods made for the game? Isn't this counter productive to trying to entice mod makers to come play?

[slow pagoda]

they did not

some people on the internet just like to spread this misinformation

[sand verge]

How do I change weapon attachments

[olive pendant]

Its literally in the EULA

For the benefit of the entire User community, You give us an irrevocable permission to use, copy, modify and adapt anything You create using Our game and share with other Users of Our game in multiplayer or as an online download. You also agree that We allow other people to use, copy, modify and adapt Your content under the terms of this license.

[slow pagoda]

yes this is same rights you give to steam for workshop mods so that steam can distribute them through its systems.

[olive pendant]

Let me rephrase can a BI employee answer

[slow pagoda]

it does not say BI owns the mod

you can email BI legal email

[olive pendant]

They refuse to answer any emails about it. That's why I asked in here to get an expedited answer.

[signal spruce]

Refuse to answer or haven't responded? Either way, HorribleGoat is correct. It's not unlike how things have been handled in the past with mods in the series, such as Steam Workshop, with our EULA.

The Game EULA targets the content created within the game, so does not include modding that are created via the Tools and shared on the workshop. The services (e.g. Workshop) have their own texts that supersede or complete the game EULA. I'm still trying to work on getting a clear legal explanation for the community written up to explain those differences of Game EULA, Tools EULA, and Workshop ToU.

[olive pendant]

I'd assume refuse to answer as it was asking in June and none of the people I asked have gotten responses. Most likely as they figure out the correct legal jargon to answer with.

Except the wording with that allows ownership of ANY mod that utilizes the game, meaning ANY and ALL mods for reforger.

[thorny quiver]

@signal spruce are you the content manager?

[signal spruce]

Community Manager*

[thorny quiver]

I saw the role CM and assumed it might mean Content Manager 😂 , sorry it was just a random question I asked out of curiosity

[signal spruce]

I'm not a lawyer, so as stated I'm still trying to work on getting a clear legal explanation for the community written up but as far as I've been informed, it operates the same as in the past.

[ancient rapids]

I can second not getting a response from the legal email after about 9 months now.

[modest tapir]

Did that fix the win u fin a fame mode it sins u back to the Xbox dashbord

[rough brook]

double-click on a weapon to open it's "container". even the M203 is an attachment now!

[random cape]

Noteworthy, as back in Arma 3 all underbarrels were their own weapon variant (ditto for different stocks or handguards)

[simple laurel]

can you use a nitrado pc server for cross play?

[pallid atlas]

Ye

[simple laurel]

stay blessed

[sand verge]

if you put a gp25 on to a normal Ak-74 the hand position changes as well @random cape

[random cape]

Which I notice (at least on the M16A2+M203) is an almost-instantaneous switch when swapping from the rifle to the UGL

[sand verge]

Thanks!

[celest fern]

Hey guys! Will they release something similar to the ED3N editor for Reforger? I dont think I have seen anything confirming either way but I have not been following religiously. I am aware of the Enfusion engine tool but its far more complicated than ED3N was.

[random cape]

No public confirmation or denial... it's not on the roadmap-to-1.0, but there's currently the possibility of post-launch

[celest fern]

Yea I was looking for it. I understand ED3N didnt come till some years after release of A3 right?

[random cape]

Correct, it came in mid-February 2016, almost three years after Arma 3 went public (Early Access) in early March 2013... however before that there was still a version of the classic 2D editor for which a bunch of A2 knowledge still carried over

[celest fern]

I meant the 1.0 release of A3. After the game was technically feature complete

[random cape]

A3's 1.0 release/leaving Early Access (officially... we didn't stop getting major changes until Q2 2018) was mid-September 2013, a few days before GTA V's release

[lost moon]

👀

[sacred vine]

Any confirmation if we will be real tank loaders? Itd be lit to look for the shells and open and prompt the breach etc. It would up tank n armoured vehicle skill levels

[sand verge]

no real tanks have autoloaders not budget loaders

also everything that is coming is in the road map, everything else is either not going to be implemented, might be made and or being made in a concept phase which you might see in later in reforger or arma 4. they will not tell you or me anything because its their job to not release secrets.

[sacred vine]

Tell that to the Abrams ,challenger and a fair few russian tanks.

[sacred vine]

You never know chief.

[sand verge]

if those tanks where made today they would have autoloaders like tanks being made today... also russia hasnt had a non autoloader since the 60s

[past crypt]

Get main screened everytime I join my server… anyone else having the issue?

Not sure cause rest of my friends can join the server

I’m on Xbox

[vale tusk]

try #reforger_multiplayer or #reforger_troubleshooting

and check the logs on your server as well, include any errors it shows when you try to join

[eager sandal]

How do I rebind keys to like HOLD B or something like that?

[slow pagoda]

Have you tried the settings menu?

[eager sandal]

yes, I can rebind keys, its just that I want a certain action you need to HOLD the keys instead of just press. I cant remember on top of my head the default settings that use this. like HOLD R or something

[sand verge]

no you cant, since you have the option to cancel with those interactions by releasing

i think the only options they have are toggle options are for the sight

[eager sandal]

There is one for underbarrel GL. Press V to change fire mod, HOLD V to change to UGL... I just thought I can use the HOLD keys for other things also

[compact bolt]

presumably that will be possible, it’s just not implemented yet for rebinding

[granite sandal]

When is Console getting Keyboard & Mouse Support?

[lost moon]

Never

[granite sandal]

They've already announced that it's coming

[bronze solar]

Does anyone have a idea when the first ground update is coming

[magic pebble]

q4 of this year

[random cape]

Q4 2022 is Ground Support, however some of the changes announced for it may come earlier, e.g. in 0.9.6 (https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/dev-report-10)

[bronze solar]

Thanks!

[rough brook]

Hey, now that shirts/jackets and pants are separate in Reforger, can modders still create unitary coveralls kind of suits that would occupy both slots?

[feral grove]

How can i paste an image to a terrain in Terrain Tools? Say a a satalite map image?

[bronze python]

Yo I’m having a bug where I’m not able to talk in game how do I fix

[quaint cargo]

Reset your MAC address

[bronze python]

I did didn’t work but it was a mod that made my in game mic not work

[past crypt]

Still get Xbox Home Screen every time I launch the server any suggestions? Already deleted saved data and uninstall and reinstall

Others can join and play no issues

[fervent quarry]

Anyone got a fix for a “compile error” when trying to join a custom server on Xbox.

[foggy ridge]

maybe try delete and download the mods manually, other than that the mod may just not compile on xbox

[modest tapir]

Is there a way to fin out. How much MB u have by download mod it red idk wut it mean

And ever tim I log on all the mods I download. On my xbox gos a way

Is it a bug

[modest tapir]

Wut is MB on arma reforger. It's red

How do I check how do a check see how that works

[honest sparrow]

Any conformation that reforger will be compatible on steam deck or linux?

[quiet sky]

how do i fix the "no connection with backend" message?

on pc

[fading obsidian]

Hi

[random cape]

Someone had video of it running on Steam Deck

[cloud grail]

Hello guys. I just got the game today and I keep getting killed by Russian dudes in red uniforms. But I am on the Russian team, why is that?

[crimson fractal]

They're not Russians, they're FIA. They don't care what team you're on, they just want you dead.

[eager sandal]

Does Reforger have a preference between AMD or NVIDA GPU?

[cloud grail]

Why? 😞

[crimson fractal]

Basically, they hate you cause they ain't you

And they're jealous of your sick moves.

But also because they're kinda trying to defend the island from Russians and Americans I guess

[cloud grail]

What a bunch of goofsters

[rough brook]

Rebels Without a Cause

[cloud grail]

Your awesome

[fossil condor]

His awesome what?

[foggy ridge]

his

[topaz whale]

Which is weird because 4 years before this you helped liberate their island and 2 years after this you're still friends with them.

[deep cloak]

my headcannon is the FIA on the island went rogue and decided allies are for nerds

[topaz whale]

And then you're best friends with them again 2 years later as if nothing ever happened?

[deep cloak]

yep

[topaz whale]

Yeah that makes no sense to me. Though I guess we know NATO wins in the end at least

[quaint cargo]

Is game chat audio not supposed to be picked up on Xbox game clips? I saw something about it mentioned in here before but idk if it is a bug or intended to be this way, I remember game clips of mine from release including game chat audio.

[cloud grail]

What does fia stand for

[crimson fractal]

Freedom and Independence Army

[cloud grail]

Why can’t I make my own load out yet? It comes up while in game but doesn’t let me select it

[scarlet valve]

How come I can’t get my rented server to go crossplay?

[slow pagoda]

you may need to consult your server provider

[stuck pawn]

How can i hide my hud in game?

[atomic meteor]

One question, were you recording while in a party?

[sleek wharf]

Easiest is to use Armavision, if you're after screenshots

[quaint cargo]

There’s a good chance but I can’t remember for sure

[fossil storm]

Long time Arma fan here, will buy A4 on the PC. This time round I bought AR on Xbox. Since DayZ on Xbox feels quite smooth and responsive on the Enfusion engine, is this what Bohemia are aiming for with AR on the Xbox? It feels a little too clunky and laggy right now (I get its a Game Preview).

[topaz whale]

DayZ doesn't use Enfusion technically. It's a RV-Enfusion hybrid.

[copper lake]

Maybe the feeling is there because AR can't hold a steady 60 FPS on XB, yet.

[quaint cargo]

“Yet”. My favorite word ong

[eager sandal]

Can you draw/mark things in map yet? I don't think this was mention in the road map...

[fossil storm]

Quite possibly this, actually!

[fossil storm]

Interesting! Well if its more stable, perhaps they will take learning from this and apply it to AR, and A4

[copper lake]

One can only apply ideas from different games, not performance, right? 🙂
The game is still Early Access with plenty of various performance bottlenecks. By the time it reaches it's final release version it is quite possible its framerate is more stable.

On the other hand, some people might find things clunky because certain animations are too long, can't be interrupted, or because of how fast characters move relative to their animations. Also, different people have different expectations and perceive things in an unique way.
Without you going a bit more into detail it's somewhat difficult to assess what exactly might be wrong (therefore a more complex answer).

[fossil storm]

Its fine, a longer answer isn’t necessary. I was merely commenting on the fact the other game has the same devs, and that if they made necessary amendments to Enfusion which improved FPS and stability then they might want to follow the same route this time round. That was all, but thanks for the comprehensive reply nonetheless 🙂

Of course its a different game, and they can’t just apply X and expect the same result as Y. The above is just a discussion point is all.

[lusty vector]

there should be a way to dig trenches

[topaz whale]

That would probably be difficult to implement and not cause weird visual glitches like floating trees. There are some trenches on Everon already I think though... that or they're only there in Conflict but I assume they're always there

[foggy ridge]

yeah there's a few strategically placed trench assets

[modest tapir]

When did thay say that will release new update ?

[crimson fractal]

Soon (TM)

[topaz whale]

It's every other week so probably mid next week.

[modest tapir]

Ok thanks

[finite gate]

I am sure this has been asked a lot but when will the first Milestone be completed by?

Just curious to know the pace of the dev team

[granite sandal]

Is anyone available right now to explain to me how I set up my crossplay reforger server? I'm using the Nitrado Site.

[magic pebble]

q4 of this year

[random cape]

What they said, with the addendum that Air Assault and Final Strike are expected to arrive in the first half of 2022... according to community manager Niles George ("Nillers" here) soon after the Early Access release they expected to stay in Early Access for about twelve months, which would conclude in mid-May 2023... then we'd have game version 1.0

[lost moon]

How do I make objectives on my gamemaster server

[silent yoke]

there is no way to make objectives or any of that stuff yet, i already looked for it

[lost moon]

Ah thanks, would be a big help when setting up ops

[silent yoke]

yea, game isn't that far in yet, my advice is too just tell them to go to said location, attack/defend, and you decide if they won or defeat

they might not even put those in either, they might make it so the map has a marker on the area that you need to go too, but you may have to navigate via the map and not a onscreen marker

[thick silo]

Any word from BI whether they have addressed, or are even aware of the bug where the FPS tanks to 20-ish range after bringing up the map?
the issue persists until the game client is restarted.
thought they had resolved this some patches ago.

[feral loom]

is it normal that I can't get past 60 FPS with no lock or even if I set it to like 120?

[scenic lion]

Vsync? Specs perhaps?

[eager sandal]

Try lower some settings... if it still locked at 60fps, then it's not normal. I can get up to 80fps in certain condition(s). Normally I got around 50-55

[atomic meteor]

There is a way but it is glitched. You go to game master, hit dpad left(scenarios), press a and then hold Y(brings up a wheel where you can place objective markers). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t

[lost moon]

Not even like a waypoint that shows when off map just one that I can put on the map and show my boys when I’m doing a breifing

[lost moon]

Thanks lad will try that 💯💯😊

[stuck pawn]

When is the next game update out?

[eager sandal]

probably next week. They said in the latest dev report that the next update will be bi-weekly instead of weekly

[atomic meteor]

No problem man. Glad to help.

[feral loom]

are you playing in a window or full screen?

[feral loom]

no v-sync i9-12900KS 32 GB DDR4 4000 MHz 14-15-14-28 RTX 3090 Ti.

FPS higher than 60 at 1440p ultra is possible for me only in window mode, but not full screen, for some reason

[sand verge]

For modded servers, do I have to meticulously download all mods and arrange them or will servers just prompt what I need and download them?

[feral loom]

prompt

[crimson fractal]

In my experience, manually downloading the bigger files first and then using the prompt for the rest yields the best results

[eager sandal]

I played at borderless full screen

[feral loom]

then I don't know why only 60 FPS max for me.
min FPS is also 60

[sand verge]

spent too much money on pc groove thats why

[feral loom]

you have no idea what you're talking about.
if no help/solution, then don't write

[sand verge]

why, dont you have a gpu that practically no one has? ive never had any issue punching past 100 fps. you either have some fps limit set or issue with reforger and your gpu

[eager sandal]

I don't know about NVDIA, but AMD has certain settings that can set minimum FPS and/or max FPS and can be profiled to particular games

[feral loom]

only in window mode it goes way higher than 60.
borderless is 60 FPS

[feral loom]

cap not activated in the driver

[eager sandal]

I see, then I am sorry I am not well versed enough in tech...

[glad bough]

kicked out from ufficial server: kick cause code: group=3 ´battleye´, reason=0 ´<unkown>´ . Anyone have a solution?

[scenic lion]

That's odd behaviour but I'm tempted to say that it's a bug.

As long as your monitor doesn't have a refresh rate of more than 60 it probably doesn't matter that much anyway

[void crescent]

are we going to get pip mirrors for vehicles eventually?

[sand verge]

I dont see why you wont, unless some other method is being made such as with RTX

[half locust]

by RTX you mean ray tracing?

[sand verge]

Yes as crysis man would say MAXMIUM RAY TRACING

[half locust]

very unlikely for that to be feasible

[versed python]

are u able to add maps to servers and if u are able then how

[quaint cargo]

Why?

[austere nimbus]

you can download terrains as mods from the workshop in-game, just like anything else that expands on the game

[dim current]

does reforger emit logs on the server side that can accessed to moderate through external applications?

[median elk]

Anyone here have the ability to add Hesco barriers to the workbench? I’m surprised nobody has done it yet.

[uneven rose]

Hey so one of my guys can’t talk in game chats it crashes his game any way to fix this?

[wicked python]

Is there a way to fix me from crashing everytime I'm in game chat

[terse badge]

Is there going to be a launcher planned for reforger? Like A3 and DayZ with workshop mods and whatnot?

[sand verge]

no not officially

[random cape]

Part of the reason may be that the two big changes for A3 from the launcher (Steam Workshop integration for mod setup and the server browser allowing automatic mod setup) are now integrated in-game

[terse badge]

nice

I really hope you guys manage to create a fully fledged ArmA game with this, it would be awesome to have a game like this with the features of the previous games

[wicked python]

How do I make it so I don't lag out of a game when I use my mic

Can someone help me pls?

[terse badge]

I know I have asked a lot of questions,
but do you guys plan to include Mortar Teams and Artillery Vehicles in the new ArmA? Aswell as aircraft?

would be really cool to see some aircraft on Reforger or ArmA 4 hopefully

[topaz whale]

Mortars and transport helicopters are both on the road map

[terse badge]

Wouldnt be arma without attack planes 😮

[thorn trout]

Hey I have had a problem with the Xbox series x version and I bought the full game, played like crazy and went back to play more and said my trial ran out?

Any help would be most appreciated

[crimson fractal]

Do you have multiple accounts?

[thorn trout]

On the Xbox? Yes but I have it on my main one IE my username but it's not on my girlfriends either I already checked

[lost moon]

Will shaving cream be added along side the razor when chest hair comes out ??

[eager sandal]

Does Reforger AI able to throw grenades? I haven't seen them done it yet, but then again I haven't clock in that many hours yet in this game

[crimson fractal]

It doesn't seem like it

[wicked python]

What should I do it still lags me out Everytime I use game chat like is it my Internet or the game like it's fine until I go into game chat like idk what to do cause I can't speak in game chat and I've reset my Mac address like Is it the game or me?

[random cape]

Nope, that's what Arma 4 is for... this was announced during the reveal stream to be a testbed for that. To elaborate on Jakerod's answer to your questions:

1. The Mi-8MT (this designation was used by Arma 2's ChDKZ version of the Mi-8/Mi-17) and UH-1H (last seen in A2: OA) will arrive in next year's Air Assault update. They will be represented in mounted machine gun configurations and use a Standard helicopter flight model, however there's been no promise of the AI being able to pilot these helicopters, although I expect that they'll be able to act as both gunners and passengers.
2. Later next year (I presume before July 2023) in the Final Strike update both Arma 2's 2B14 and M252 will return, both of which the AI will be able to operate; these are Deployable and assembled from three parts and are Manually operable – azimuth and elevation adjustment. I am not sure as to whether the AI will be able to do that first part or only the latter ('get in as gunner').
3. No fixed-wing aircraft/planes and no other forms of artillery (e.g. A2's D-30 and M119) have been announced; Final Strike will also add a Helicopter weapon system but this has not yet been elaborated on.

@random cape Awesome response and very explanatory thank you 🙂

[random cape]

You're welcome! I should warn that the above descriptions of the two helicopters and two mortars are based on a roadmap (https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/roadmap) which represents what the devs 'know' that they can deliver before the game leaves Early Access; I believe that almost nothing that's not on here should be considered 'promised'.

Which admittedly does mean that dedicated attack helicopters, tracked ground vehicles, watercraft, and fixed-wing aircraft are not guaranteed to ever be officially released...

[terse badge]

Well if fixed wing aircraft are not in reforger then lets hope they are in arma 4!!

[orchid geyser]

Does the powerbits reforger server have a discord?

[fossil condor]

It does

[orchid geyser]

Whats it called / can you help me find it?

Thanks 👍

[topaz whale]

Why did you guys go back to being able to walk through bushes? I feel like you haven't been able to do that since Arma 2 if not Armed Assault. Seems like a weird choice since the center of bushes aren't easy to get through and at the very least should slow you down.

[eager plover]

Im new to the enfusion engine and im struggling with my ArmaReforger folder being locked and cant open it up

anyone know how to get around it?

[deep cloak]

would the (bandaging limbs separately) multiple hit zone system have animations for each limb? or is it just gonna be one animation but for different limbs

[ancient rapids]

More for #reforger_workbench I think. But you should be able to duplicate a file to your mod for editing by right clicking on it in workbench.

[eager plover]

Alright thanks!

[old vortex]

Has anything been spoke about regarding PlayStation getting crossplay?

[lost moon]

I hope arma never comes to PlayStation

[austere nimbus]

I hoped Arma would never be released on consoles in general, but excluding one for no reasons doesn't make sense at all.

That said; PS is most likely getting an AR release (based on source code available), and cross-play suggests all combinations of platforms.
So my educated guess is that the PS will be included in cross-play with/against Xbox and PC.

[small basalt]

When I make a dedicated server on my pc what do I need to do to have my friend join through lan?

Do I need to set up any IPs or anything? Which IP would he join through? Sorry if these are dumb questions.

[random cape]

A dev has already said that Arma Reforger is coming to PlayStation 5 (after Early Access is officially over)

[gritty finch]

already came across a fixed wing aircraft mods on the workshop

[sand verge]

Update this week?

[crimson fractal]

Hopefully

[signal spruce]

Yes.

To save myself from a jinx though… as long as nothing major is discovered last minute*

[crimson fractal]

Give me the update early and I'll tell you if something breaks

[digital cargo]

Higher ups on BI be like: hehe let's push it to next week to screw with Nillers

[signal spruce]

All I know is that it wouldn't be the first time where I say something, only for the most obscure thing to change events comes sack me like a linebacker in my blindside. 🏈

[eager sandal]

Will Reforger upgrade FSR implementation to FSR 2.0 sometime in the future?

[magic pebble]

You should drop this in the feedback.

[half locust]

he means here - https://feedback.bistudio.com/project/view/66/

[cloud grail]

Is the outposts spawn randomly generated

I seen one in a different place than yesterday

[jagged roost]

"Failed to start game with selected mods"

tried:
deleting the mods
joining with mods disabled
deleting then reinstalling before joining
deleting then reinstalling while joining
deleting the mods folder and all mods, then remaking the folder and reinstalling mods
reinstalling my game

[magic pebble]

Moving the game to an ssd worked for someone in our discord.

Also, I left the game when I got this error, got back a day later and it started working for some reason.

[jagged roost]

been like this all week for me :(

and my SSD has like 5gb free when all thats on it is windows...

[magic pebble]

unlucky bruv. some players on our discord are still having the same issues as you and all are waiting on the developers.

[jagged roost]

yay

theres 1 community server with 64 players that has mods so i cant join.... the bugs killed alot of the servers sadly

[magic pebble]

yea its the pbs server and there is an ongoing discussion about keeping the mods or going back to vanilla in their discord.

[jagged roost]

I cba to join but the mods gotta go

I mean an advertising sign, scope, killfeed and helicopter... the only one of those that would ever see alot of use is the scope lol

[magic pebble]

you would be surprised how much people use the helicopter and how effectively they use it. it's great but still bugged af

[topaz whale]

My limited experience once they added the helicopter was I, as a Soviet player, was able to take sectors all the way up to Tyrone and take it before I ever saw a BLUFOR player. And my first encounter with BLUFOR players was a helicopter flying overhead firing into the Tyrone camp and hitting nothing. And I think they had more players on their team than us.

[sand verge]

chad soviet players

[magic pebble]

Your first mistake is playing as the ivans. on the blue side while waiting for the helies to spawn we be having pistol duels, boxing matches and fight club is open 24/7 at the airfield. sometime if we have a large group the pilot will take us sight seeing to one of the small islands. as a skeleton crew we fly about and hunt for any lone unsuspected btr.

and the most fun starts when we have a good pilot like klumpi or carlos flying, then we start some serious assaults on points with them dropping the infantry and then providing air support. looks cool af.

[topaz whale]

And that's one of the reasons why I've stopped playing on the server. It's not fun taking 90% of the island unopposed. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if the server was full but it seems like the player count on it dropped off at least when I play.

[crimson fractal]

The day crossplay launched for Xbox I had 3 games in a row essentially uncontested all the way to the end because the US team was too busy trying to fly helicopters instead of doing anything else. The first game we didn't see a single American until we were taking their HQ and even then it was just the bots

[foggy ridge]

if you were playing with mods then that's also why there were less players

[magic pebble]

the PBS server is always popated. it's full at gmt evening even hough they run mods.

[foggy ridge]

sure, I'm hoping the crash on modded server join was fixed this patch

the one that happens when a mod version differs between you and server

[crimson fractal]

Is it possible to rollback the update on community servers? We can't play on our server now because Xbox won't be updated until tomorrow, but the server has already been updated

Just to clarify, I'm not asking to rollback the entire update for everyone, just if it's possible for server owners to perform themselves

[ancient rapids]

Should be able to hold off updating the server unless its already auto updated

[crimson fractal]

It's already updated, as I stated above

[austere nimbus]

Welcome to benefits of cross-play 🤣
I actually expected stuff like this to happen, although with Steam it should be able to not auto-update the server (but requires you to manually do it each time).
And it shouldn't stop the stop, update and restart it automatically anyway, but I guess the crashes also apply to the server.

[ancient rapids]

Pretty sure you can only roll back mods

[austere nimbus]

I'm not talking about rolling back, I'm talking about not updating the server files automatically.
Same applies to mods;~~ you can disable auto-update in Steam, so they won't be updated~~ (not sure how this would work on Xbox though, since I'm sure it will automatically update everything when the mod is required on the server, or even on start-up).

update: mods are not through Steam, so it's all handled by the game

[ancient rapids]

Yeah sorry I was responding to unicorn guy

I just looked at the steam cmd docs and there is no force version or anything like that, only update commands, so rip until tomorrow I guess

[crimson fractal]

Steam has absolutely nothing to do with this

[ancient rapids]

Yes it does that's how you update a server

[crimson fractal]

The server is running through Nitrado. Not one of us own the game on steam, let alone use it to run the server

[ancient rapids]

Ok then nitrado uses steam to auto update it for you then

Didn't realize you were on a provider like that, you probably don't have access to the steam cmd updater

[sand verge]

I think the ideal modded server everyone wants is one with the heli mod and maybe some better gore effects

Gm’s shouldn’t really interfere with the game much besides keeping the amount of vehicles balanced

[cloud grail]

How when I shoot an enemy in the waist area it’s like they wernt even shot?

[simple field]

I've noticed some bullets hit the enemy's rifle if his carring it across his chest. Especially with FIA rpk guys. I can watch shells of teammates hit the guys rpk and bounce off.

[cloud grail]

I think it hit his magazine belt

[lost moon]

Is there a showroom for the hind mod ?

[mighty willow]

My private server is saying that it has a game version v0.9.5.116 instead of v.0.9.5.109. Does anyone know of the issue here?

[shut cosmos]

Steam/server had an update, xbox is tomorrow; AFAIK there is no way to defer updates with shitrado

[mighty willow]

ah very well. where is the patch notes?

[shut cosmos]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/august-update-24

[simple laurel]

is there a way to update server game version?

[sand verge]

No it’s not til next update for Xbox coming tomorrow I think

[sand verge]

which Mi8 are we getting, is it one with the tail rotor on the right side or the left?

[lost moon]

Good question

[fleet cape]

Hi. is there some other way to get the Enfusion Tools plugin for Blender, as my steam install of arma 3, arma reforger, or arma tools doesn't contain the folder where said plugin should be located?

for reference this is the guide on the installation of the plugin "After installing the Arma Reforger Tools package on Steam, open Blender and click Edit → ⚙ Preferences... → Addons. Click Install in the top right and then navigate to the folder where Arma Reforger Tools was installed, click the Blender folder and then select and install the plugin from the EnfusionBlenderTools-Plugin.zip file."

located on bistudio community wiki

[half locust]

you need reforger toolset (workbench) not arma tools

[fleet cape]

ok, thank you.

[modest tapir]

So is the update out for xbox did it do anything

[crimson fractal]

Yes

[peak thunder]

I'm guessing if it was on the left they would just call it an Mi-17

[random cape]

@lost moon If Arma 2 is any indication it'll be on-the-left... according to the Armed Assault Fandom wiki Mi-8MT was the ChDKZ-specific designation while the Russia faction used the Mi-8MTV-3

[lost moon]

Great thank you for the clarification ！

[random cape]

You'll also see that here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_2:_Vehicles#Air

OA calls it the Mi-8 in both Takistan Army and UNO factions, however the classnames were still prefixed with Mi17_... it's only the Czech version that gets a different prefix (Mi171Sh_)

[gritty ledge]

Do you guys have plans of adding the Aug to Reforger? By any chance

[random cape]

It's not on the public roadmap to 1.0 so No Promises™️

[old vortex]

Is there an ETA or any hints on when one of the major updates are coming out?

[haughty maple]

Quick question 🙋🏻‍♂️
Is there a way to ban someone for more then 1 day ?

[foggy ridge]

through rcon maybe?

[signal spruce]

Soon.

[sand verge]

time range?

[foggy ridge]

anywhere between soon and when its done

[ancient rapids]

😬

[signal spruce]

Definitely before Ground Support.

[random cape]

Speaking of the major update... from today's Dev Report #11:Since our primary focus is on the upcoming major update, you can probably suspect that many of our short-term plans relate to preparations for it. You can expect a large volume of smaller scope features, improvements, and fixes upon its release. We are also closer to the first milestone update which overlaps with 0.9.6 in some ways. As mentioned in our last Dev Report, some of the features that were originally meant for the Ground Support release will be available to you in 0.9.6. You can expect improvements related to weapon deployment, Game Master, and Conflict gameplay rules.

[lusty vector]

Will the m113 be added?

[magic pebble]

yes

[still canyon]

It wasn't on the roadmap, was it?

[magic pebble]

it wasn't. no

[random cape]

What they said... it's not a never but the Roadmap has the only stuff that Bohemia Interactive will actually promise to come to the game
