reforger_questions

[topaz whale]

You and @stray blade seem to disagree unless I'm reading his wrong

[quaint copper]

he says there is no difference
Im saying that there was before another update broke it

It didnt lock to a surface like Arma 3
You just had less sway when prone compared to without the bipod down

[magic pebble]

I don't think the update broke it. I remember someone here saying it was removed so it can be introduced later when it is more in depth.

[topaz whale]

So it sounds like the feature isn't in yet

Or at least isn't usable

[magic pebble]

I test it right before this update to confirm it. The feature has been removed to be introduced in the future.

[vestal sinew]

can’t figure this out but are (or at one point) the US rigs customizable? like adding and removing pouches for whatever you need

[steel basalt]

No, just different rigs

[tepid torrent]

we really need those birbs, hopefully they swoop into the upcoming updates!

[patent socket]

Is it possible to make a gamemaster feature that allows you to change the size of all objects?

[foggy ridge]

yes

[tepid torrent]

played some refrogger, i hadn't really tried the recent update, crashed twice within 1 hour and couldn't get into combat ops, would just get kicked for network flood, definately worse than what i was experiencing in mines update prior

[patent socket]

I want to make or inspire a gamemode which I need to find more info on

[magic pebble]

The system must exist since you could customize it few months back, but they removed it for some reason.

[ember path]

How much of the roadmap do yall expect to happen, even if it takes a while?

[stray blade]

All of it?

[magic pebble]

Lately, I've been seeing a lot of indie studios shutting down, even ones with good titles.

[ember path]

ah ok that's good; hope you're correct. I know sometimes roadmap plans can be scrapped. Another question-to use a BI title as an example such as Day Z. When that game has a new update (such as 1.21 that just released) does it break the mods on that game also? someone had said that each time Reforger updates it will break more mods, and I wondered if that was the case because ARF is in EA

[stray blade]

Yes. They break. Not with every update & not every mod.
It is to be expected as alot of internal stuff also changes in EA.
And i think most if not all modders are hopefully aware of that.

[ember path]

yeah, figured it was due to lots of alterations during the EA period. Thank you for the reply @stray blade

[topaz whale]

Isn't always just related to EA. Arma 3 had an update 3 years after release that didn't necessarily break terrains but made them all very bright looking which made them less enjoyable

[vestal sinew]

I saw a post somewhere about the pockets and stuff, like sometimes you can't hold an item in the rig. I wonder why they removed it. Even though it still has an effect on what you can hold

[stray blade]

It didnt increase space, it was only cosmetical.

[magic pebble]

Before they removed it, I could place an MG box in the big pouch of a standard ALICE rig.

I can't do that anymore.

[sand verge]

Not allowed to pay to make mods

Can do things without arma tools, like models etc

Not me tbc, just generally

[slow pagoda]

nope

[cosmic gull]

Thanks for the info How about a suggestion page? Is there one out there

[smoky orchid]

should i buy reforger?

[sand verge]

yes

there are a lot worse games you could spend more money on

[smoky orchid]

ty

[sand verge]

You came to an Arma discord to ask if Reforger is worth buying. Do you .. not see the glaring demographic error in your question

[slow pagoda]

no there isnt really suggestion page here. We try to give modders some peace to do their thing

[cosmic gull]

I get that totally understandable thanks for the info

[slow pagoda]

In case someone asks for ideas then you can of course dish out

[cosmic gull]

Here’s one do you know if any modders are making a Gilly suit? Hahaha

[quaint copper]

Weigh its pros and cons

Cons
Slow development cycle
PVP centered gameplay, not meant for veterans of the franchise
Horrible AI
Sub par gameplay that has too many leniencies for its own good (stamina is too forgiving on with weight, no revive system for its large large maps, etc)
Small playerbase
Game relies on mods to be anywhere NEAR good

Pros
Promising Distant future
Its the best shooter on Xbox Series X
Consistent communities
It has the DarkGru servers
Easy to mod

I hope these pointers help influence your decision

[slow pagoda]

lets not go down that road.

[cosmic gull]

Okay lol

[slow pagoda]

you can check out what people have posted in the #enf_showroom and #1049297536617291827

[quaint copper]

After 2000 hours, I can not recommend Arma Reforger

[cosmic gull]

Ahhh dope thank you!

[sand verge]

how can you not recommend a game with 2000 hours...

[quaint copper]

I played the game so they dont have to

[smoky orchid]

would me purchasing reforger allow me any benefits towards arma 4 in the long road ahead? do you think*

[quaint copper]

I will tell them with a straight face
It is shit right now

[quaint copper]

No
With how little money reforger is making them theyre guaranteed to charge 4 full price

[sand verge]

Look at all the recent warthunder fans

not unless your making mods really, but arma 4 is coming no less than late 2025

[quaint copper]

I have 1500 hours on Conflict and 500 in the workbench

[foggy ridge]

if you are an arma fan you'll have a good time

[sand verge]

And if you have a GPU. Otherwise like me you'll be at 400px

[smoky orchid]

I love the arma franchise, and I can see how these things would affect my idea of purchasing, I probably will just purchase but not for the sake of great gameplay, but for the assistance in the development of arma 4.

[quaint copper]

I enjoy it more than squad
Im also stubborn and mentally ill

[foggy ridge]

if you have enough patience to enjoy a game that is not currently stable, you'll probably like it

[true mesa]

I’m loving playing on the modded servers. The engine is just so good and it’s only getting better.

[west jacinth]

If you want a fully developed game and a normal gameplay experience - no.

If you don't mind bugs, crashes and constant downloads, you can have a great chance of participation in the game development.

Besides graphics are ok, gaming experience (if it doesn't crash) is good, community is ok.

And it's the most complex "shooter" like experience you can get without going into professional battlefield simulations.

It's only 25 Euros, so it's worth trying. But it's not a game.

And do not compare Arma or Reforger to Squad. Squad is much, much more casual. And Unreal Engine genuinely looks like shit.

[sand verge]

squad is a joke. oh you wanna get into a apc as downed pilot? take off your kit first

[topaz whale]

Really? The two biggest MP modes I know of in A3 are Life and TKoth both of which are not the least bit serious as far as I can tell. And Reforger is filled with guys running around with no shirts and 2 saws

[topaz whale]

Whoops. Thought I hit reply

[west jacinth]

I mean casual in all sorts. Squad just feels like one of early The Sims game. Besides I' m really disappointed with UE4. It takes away the complexity of every game that runs it.

[topaz whale]

What do you mean "casual in all sorts"?

[magic pebble]

Hll and Squad are one of the most serious games I played, outside of playing with the army nerd on arma 3 op

[royal kite]

Forgive me but, as a multiplayer newbie...never liked them but I wanted to try out DayZ'ish mod...Question is - The higher the server ping number the less stable connection for me, is that correct?

[sand verge]

Ping measures the milliseconds (I think) for a message to go to the server and back to your machine

Lower is better

[foggy ridge]

in practice, the higher the ping, the bigger the delay with things happening on your screen

[forest crown]

So connection should be stable, you’ll just see some slight delay. I play multiplayer on 200 ping all the time and it’s mostly fine 🙂

[foggy ridge]

shooting fast moving targets is funny with higher pings since you need to lead your bullets so much you dont even see them hit on your screen

makes enemies look like they tripped over something

[royal kite]

ah...ok, thanks for that. I am in Australia and keep trying to play deadzone and I last maybe 10 mins before it crashes..and it usually sits between 250-260 ping

[foggy ridge]

if it's an actual crash then ping isn't relevant

[forest crown]

Me too. You should find MP Reforger is fine from Australia 😉

[royal kite]

I not even sure what to look for atm...conflict, dayz, etc...all new to me

[fiery basin]

Hi there, quick question: Is it already possible to disable controller input or to rebind controller input?

[hearty crescent]

hey guys whats the admin login command on a Reforger server now ?

i type #login password and it doesnt work anymore ?

[tired dock]

Hello just started hosting a server for reforger. Use to arma 3 server. Is currently all the mods broken? I’ve been trying to host a game master on my server and none of the gear or weapons mods show up. Is their currently any gear or weapons besides vanilla that’s not messed up.

[digital crane]

The Task Force Mattock mods work for the most part

[ember shard]

Somebody have information about the tanks it's only a question

[stray blade]

Official? There wont be any tanks, thanks.

[ember shard]

I mean the T-62 or T-64 original

@stray blade Thanks

[stark kettle]

I cannot change perspective in game master, even reassigning the key only stays in first person. Is this a bug?

[tepid torrent]

are there any planed fixes for the objects that pop in and out like house exteriors? i know bacon gets the same thing happen despite us bot running off decent ssd, however not everyone has this issue

[fiery basin]

So anybody know that?

[magic pebble]

#reforger_xbox You might have better luck asking there.

[tired dock]

Is there a way to play combat arms on a server

[slow pagoda]

what is combat arms?

[tired dock]

Might be combat ops sorry

[maiden forge]

Check official servers

[tired dock]

Would like to play on my server so I could add mods

[fiery basin]

??? Why would the xbox channel the right one for a pc

Maybe my question was not clear asked, sorry.
I play on pc, but since release of reforger, there is no way to disable any controller input for reforger, and because of that i'm unable to play the game. So thats why i asked if there is a way to disable or rebind the controller input on pc without the usual "just unplug everything" crap suggestions

[foggy ridge]

I have my x360 controller plugged in all the time and it doesn't do anything when I'm not using it

[ancient rapids]

My controller is hooked up via Bluetooth cable

[shut cosmos]

#reforger_servers message

change scenario in .json

[shell nest]

You need to config it and set it in your json file

[serene kayak]

Has BI given us a new roadmap or is it still radio silence?

[slow pagoda]

silencio

[serene kayak]

neat

[stray blade]

Afaik old roadmap still stands, just timelines are off the table

[west jacinth]

Is it only my impression that "invite" feature in the game does nothing?

[maiden forge]

It’s to invite to squad

[west jacinth]

Thanks for the answer. I worked that out with the help of PBS guys.

[hearty crescent]

thank you @shell nest

[hearty crescent]

@shell nest the admin password is already set in the json file but the server command doesnt work in game 😦

is there a new command in server that isnt #login password

[shell nest]

Try /

[hearty crescent]

@shell nest so /#login or just / ?

[shell nest]

/

[hearty crescent]

cheers @shell nest i will try that

[shell nest]

Np if that don’t work i would use bacons admin tools

[shadow talon]

is it only me or is the game not running on your monitor hz? because my game doesnt feel like 144hz

[hearty crescent]

@shell nest yeah still not working 😦

[hearty crescent]

@shell nest do u know how to edit bacon server admin tools i cant see the folder in the addons folder

[winter portal]

need some help, anytime i try to download any mod its stuck at 0% and refuses to go any futher. ive verified files, deleted and reinstalled the game, and even checked if it made a mod folder and it hasnt

[shell nest]

Yes

What u trying to edit?

[lucid path]

Anyone figure out how to set identity, for like head models

[hearty crescent]

@shell nest somewhere to edit the admin login password

i dont how to use bacon sever admin tools lol

normally mods create a folder in the addons folder but i cant see server admin tools folder

is there a file somewhere it creates to edit the admin login / password ?

[half locust]

@hearty crescent https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1110586149740748890

[hearty crescent]

cheers @half locust

[hearty crescent]

yeah the admin command works again it was an error in the gui dedicated server tool by sodax it was using the old admin password command

@shell nest

[shell nest]

  "adminPassword": "######",```

add this under "gameHostRegisterPort":

[hearty crescent]

yeah he had to update the tool to fix it @shell nest

[shell nest]

U got it working?

[hearty crescent]

its working all good now 🙂

[shell nest]

sweet

[hearty crescent]

Yeah it was using the old admin parameters not the new one under the new patch

he updated the server dedicated tool just before with the fix 😄

[foggy ridge]

... what server dedicated tool

gimme

[ornate kelp]

is there any way to ban players on a nitrado server with admin commands?

[stray blade]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Management

[ornate kelp]

is it possible to try it on myself?

[stray blade]

You cant ban yourself

[ornate kelp]

ok, well i think that i was getting the parameters wrong, i wasnt seperating with the ;

[ornate kelp]

hey do you do uniform mods?

[foggy ridge]

no

[ornate kelp]

do you know anyone who does?

[foggy ridge]

yes

[ornate kelp]

do you mind pointing me in their direction.

[foggy ridge]

why? you can't legally commission mods

[ornate kelp]

wym commission mods?

[foggy ridge]

if you'd like to pay for a mod to be made, you can't, and nobody will make you one for free

[ornate kelp]

so you can't pay for mods?

[foggy ridge]

you can't charge for mods, so if a modder accepts money for a mod they are not doing it legally

[ornate kelp]

so how is it suppose to be done

[foggy ridge]

make it yourself or hope someone makes it for free

you can try #creators_recruiting

[ornate kelp]

ok, i appreciate that, so i shouldn't pay anyone for anytype of mod

[foggy ridge]

it's more like they shouldn't accept money

if they do they get banned

[ornate kelp]

that link you just sent me to, some of them are submitting pay but i guess you are referring to this server

[foggy ridge]

you can pay for someone to create you a 3d model, but they cant accept money for using arma reforger modding tools

[ornate kelp]

gotcha

[half locust]

@foggy ridge - cheers

[cerulean token]

Has anyone elses FPS decreased by like 15-20fps since some update ? I used to get alright fps, now it can be pretty bad sometimes. Most settings have no effect either. 🥴

I have a feeling it has to do with the new lighting, but I'm not sure

[digital crane]

i’ve noticed on some modded maps if i have the clouds on it drops a good bit of fps

[pallid atlas]

Is it possible to store my mod folder in another drive whilst my game is stored in another?

[stray blade]

It is, via steam launch params like so: #reforger_troubleshooting message

[pallid atlas]

Because I already have my Addons in the drive I want it moved from, will this automatically move it or do it have to move it myself to the new one

[stray blade]

No, you have to move them manually, by copy paste, or redownload them

[brittle herald]

Is there any spectator mod?

[spark axle]

Is there a chat here for scenario IDs?

[slow pagoda]

not any specific one no.

[ancient rapids]

I JUST made a ticket about the -listScenarios parameter not working for workshop scenarios. https://feedback.bistudio.com/T173021 Only way to get them now is to find the serverdata.json file in the mod.

[spark axle]

There a way to do this without owning the game on pc?

[ancient rapids]

I have no idea, but if you can find the mod's folder and are able to browse it and open/edit json files it might be doable?

[spark axle]

I'll give it a try, massive thanks!

[ancient rapids]

who would I reach out to about the Say command for Battleye not working in Reforger through rcon? BI feedback ticket or Battleye contact form?

and #shutdown, or are there new commands maybe not documented yet?

actually pretty strange, I can see the say messages in server console, they are just not going out to clients. This makes me think its a BI problem

[foggy ridge]

rcon is not fully implemented so no surprise

[ancient rapids]

at least bans/kicks are working!

[foggy ridge]

you can ban xbox users now, right? with BE

[ancient rapids]

from what Ive read here, yes. I also spoke with someone who said thier pc guid is the same as their xbox guid. I'd still like to actually test with someone with an xbox. I successfully banned myself for 1 min earlier today (on pc). If anyone is willing to test (on xbox), please DM me so we can get this confirmed!

[foggy ridge]

they may have meant the identity id and not the guid but I'm glad things are progressing in that regard

now just need to complete the ingame admin menu and get rid of xbox trial

[sand verge]

But how will the little kids experience arma without ekbok trial ?

[primal raptor]

I mainly play Xbox and I fully support this message 🤣👆 I’m getting use to playing it on pc thou and using workbench is a learning curve

[magic pebble]

I opened workbench the other day, it looks like a bottomless pit.

Gave me the same feeling I get when I open a paradox game for the first time.

[quaint copper]

What kind of mod are you trying to make?

[magic pebble]

I had this old AK model I worked on in the last summer. I wanted to see what happens if I add it to it.

[quaint copper]

Aussie might be able to help you

[tepid torrent]

yeah plenty of modders would probably help you out, if the model looks good and doesnt need any extreme makeover of animations i am sure you can get it going

[opaque nimbus]

i have a flight stick and throttle, should i get the jet dlc or the helicopter dlc

[slow pagoda]

the base game already has couple of jets and helos. the dlcs only add more.

[stray blade]

In reforger?

[slow pagoda]

but this is actually wrong channel

[opaque nimbus]

oh ok, thansk

[slow pagoda]

you want #arma3_questions

[opaque nimbus]

i don't have access to that one, sorry

[slow pagoda]

Then you have to complete your #✔role-selection

[opaque nimbus]

ah, ok

[solemn mica]

i have a question, so iv downloaded and added some weapon mods to my server, however they arent in any arsenal or weapon boxes, iv followed the instructions to add the mods, and when i join the server i asked me to download them, but cant find them, can anyone help please

[stray blade]

weapons need to be added to arsenal by the mod itself. If it doesnt do so (or any other box) you cant access them. Unless you make a mod that that adds them to arsenal

[slender zephyr]

anyone know why some weapon mods dont allow me to raise or use any weapons / grenades ??

[pure quartz]

Is there a way to view workshop stats on a published item?

specifically how many subscribers

[ancient rapids]

I dont think so, however on the website you can sort by subscribers

[topaz nexus]

When will we see backblast implemented? Will we?

[quaint copper]

That is one of the first things I noticed about the game awhile back and one of the most disappointing revelations

[sand verge]

i suspect that if they don't add it, its due to the AI. I guess it would negatively effect the gameplay.

[quaint copper]

arma is supposed to be realistic

No backblast, no buy
Muh Mersion ruend

[tired dock]

Are the mods fixed now after being broke from the mine updates or still no?

[quaint copper]

Most of them still have lingering issues

[half locust]

mods is generic. Some are fixed, some might get fixed, some will never be fixed since their authors have left

[frosty vector]

Is there any other mods other then task force mattock uniforms I can use that are more or less the same

[maiden forge]

RHS for Russians

[topaz nexus]

RHS also has really good USMC stuff

[sonic shard]

hello everyone,
i am curious to know if Arma reforger is better optimized compared to Arma 3 ?
And, is there many single player scenarios to play at the moment ?

[half locust]

optimization is very generic, but reforger does uses better the available hardware
no SP content not really

[sonic shard]

thank you !
I know that Reforger doesn't have a "main campaign", but i thought it had at least some players made scenario like Arma 3 for Single players. What a shame :/

[half locust]

AI is a bit...limited

[sand verge]

Yeah but I don't wanna have to be taking shits and eating MREs and writing reports

[oak finch]

So, guys I am trying to load the main sample asset base world to test if I made the weapon and car mod correctly however I cant seem to be able to find the world when i click --> file --> load world

I placed the main sample mod in the workbench addon folder but its not showing up

[quaint copper]

Not looking behind you when shooting a rocket sounds like a skill issue to me

[sand verge]

Hey this is arma

Isn't the motto "there's a mod for that"

[half locust]

there isn’t

[quaint copper]

It doesn't seem too hard to make one
Just change the RPG warheads effects to fire a bunch of 9mm backwards when fired

Discord acting up sending my messages like four times

[quaint cargo]

Is there a difference in walk speed between “high ready” and “low ready”

[quaint copper]

A minor one yes

[formal bolt]

Isn't some one working on a parachute mod

[gloomy venture]

guys should i buy arma reforger? or just wait for arma 4

[sand verge]

depends on do you really want to wait 2 to 3 years?

[tardy rune]

do you wanna pay $30 for an unfinished game with little content and a whole lotta bugs?

[topaz whale]

Depends on what you're expecting from it. It's buggy without much content at the moment. If you want to learn to mod, by all means get it. If you like SP stay the hell away. If you like MP I would wait until connection issues get fixed.

[sand verge]

30 dolla still get you atleast 20 hours of fun in conflict

[gloomy venture]

ill just stay with arma 3

[ancient rapids]

this guys doesnt like being frustrated i guess XD

[topaz whale]

Is the FIA BTR-70 available/used in any of the game modes?

[quaint copper]

Not vanilla, no
Theyre not spawnable yet in GM either

[topaz whale]

the FIA camo reminds me of that one micro machine camo

[quaint cargo]

Can the game host servers which prohibit the use of Xbox partys. Like how in older cods hardcore would prohibit Xbox parts on 360

[stray blade]

Can, but only as a rule. How they enforce it, well...

[umbral mountain]

So on CGTrader and noticed some models are “Game Ready”.. how Game Ready is it when importing to Arma Reforger

[sand verge]

game ready just means its textured, and its not a high poly/ low poly combo

its also rigged

[half locust]

not necessary

[foggy ridge]

game ready means it's going to load in a game engine

so like... its probably an fbx with some textures

[foggy ridge]

the amount of elbow grease you'll need ranges between a few hours to a few weeks depending on the model and purpose

[tepid torrent]

its missing the FIA spray painted on the side! no wonder they havent added it yet

[stray blade]

They might be rebels, but they sure aint vandals.

[tepid torrent]

tribute to the original cold war assault

[stray blade]

They have grown since

[tepid torrent]

lmao

[quaint cargo]

Are the heights and lengths for characters and vehicles listed anywhere. I’m trying to learn how to figure out my range using the binoculars and when I go through the field manual it explains it very well, except it’s asking me for numbers I don’t have the answers to. Do I just have to look up each vehicle and memorize their heights and lengths?

[sand verge]

Yes

[foggy ridge]

so I know the game tries to manage memory, but is there a way I can like, increase the limits for it? let's say I have 60 gigs to spare and want things to render faster

[primal ocean]

WHERE IS MY HUEY AND HIP!

[half locust]

read #rules before posting again

[west stratus]

I got this game on Xbox when it 1st dropped but now am on pc can i download it from the Xbox app on my pc for free or no

[austere nimbus]

no, Xbox version and Steam version are 2 different things (same game though). So if you also want to play on the PC you'll have to buy it on Steam (again)

[west stratus]

Sweet i was just thinking then i remembered having this on Xbox was going to try it out again not home yet though to see if it was on Xbox app to download didn’t know it was on steam should of dropped it on the Xbox pc games most probably would of been Abel to download then still going to buy it again and see what’s changed

[half locust]

no

[eager sandal]

Should weapon held in hand be indestructible? I have experience countless time when I shoot at enemy center mass but most of the bullet hits their rifle. It's especially bad when their weapon is lowered.

[topaz whale]

I'm hoping weapon damage from bullets and explosions is eventually a thing like in DayZ

[lethal harness]

Question. I know that bohemia is really strict on the whole sifi stuff for Reforger: Star Wars, halo, 40k, ect. However would it be possible for modders to create something like a B2 battle droid if it was done in more of a parity sense? Or do they not want to even touch the idea with a 10ft pole?

[slow pagoda]

star wars is the only thing that is problematic

[lethal harness]

I’m curious because I’m really wanting some B1/B2 type droid or something sifi esc as faction. I’m just curious if that will ever be a remote possibility if it’s not a 1 for 1 type thing

[slow pagoda]

others can be done as long as nothing is ripped from other games

droids from SW are no go

robots/custom characters in general probably are possible

at some point at least

[lethal harness]

So anything remotely similar to a SW droid is a no go

[slow pagoda]

if its not it then should be fine

and self made etc

[lethal harness]

Also different questions, I keep hearing different answers. Are modders able to use the Everon/Arland maps to make there own map? I remember a buddy asking if he could to just a makeshift island base down on Everon and was told no. But recently we found a map called dead everon that uses Everon 1 for 1 in an apocalypse style world

And I believe 1-2 others that use Everon as a base

[slow pagoda]

there are limits to what can be changed. so what they have done are basically "missions" that alter things like objects

but they can not to terrain edits etc

[strange brook]

Why does grass go down in a 20 foot radius when crouching/prone

nvm musta been a glitch

[soft kraken]

Does anyone know how i can find the RHS discord server or a way to contact them? I wanna report a bug for one of their weapons

[slow pagoda]

they dont have public discrod. Check their website for info on how to report bugs

or use their thread in #1049297536617291827

[soft kraken]

Perfect thank you that’s what i needed

[strange brook]

What does the dynamic range setting do in audio settings. Would turning it to 200 do anything different?

[terse badge]

Is there any plans to integrate the ArmA UI into reforger? we need the scroll interaction menu 😦 get this F key out of the middle of the screen and give us that intuitive arma UI

[magic pebble]

"scroll menu" "intuitive"
im ded 😵

[slow pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/megatron-circle-close-defeat-transformers-gif-26216413

[sand verge]

the scoll menu exist in arma... if there is multiple options it pops up

[terse badge]

haha to each their own but it is intuitive especially with how fast you can navigate squad menus, and select the option with middle mouse button

way better than what they have right now, doesnt even feel like arma right now

[digital cargo]

Reforger: Priviet comrade!

[terse badge]

maybe im just a crabby arma vet, lots of time spent playing that way lol

[sand verge]

refroger better game

[magic pebble]

I spent two years shitting in my diaper too, but we grow.

[terse badge]

it definitely has potential but, not a better arma game by any standard until you can properly run AI Squad Scenario and Combined Operations

i firmly believe they are working on that though, just hoping to get some of that arma visuals

[umbral mountain]

#creators_recruiting question.

We can pay modders to buy assets for us but not to port assets into the game correct?

[slow pagoda]

yes.

but if they also do the porting you cant pay them at all

because the porting part would not be done if you did not pay them

[umbral mountain]

I see

[slow pagoda]

And mods that are paid for eventually get found out and removed. So it would be waste of money.

[sonic shard]

hello everyone,
i'd like to try Reforger but first i have just a few questions.
Is the fps more stable on multiplayer servers for CONFLICTS where we play against AI ?
On Arma 3 i get around 40 fps in fields but drop to 30fps in towns :/
Are the servers healthy for conflict mode against AI ? Or are they pretty dead ?

[half locust]

there are really no conflicts mode againts AI...

[sonic shard]

oh, maybe i'm confusing then.
There are no games modes that let you play Real players agaisnt AI ?

[foggy ridge]

there's no cti/warfare with enemy AI no

conflict is a pvp game mode, in game master you can do whatever you want

[sonic shard]

ohhhh....i didn't know !!
Okay so conflict mode is made by a game master !
But...can we ever win then ? I mean it would be easy for a game master to add more and more troops

[foggy ridge]

conflict is conflict, game master is game master

different game modes

[sonic shard]

so conflict is : Real players against bots ? Correct ?

[foggy ridge]

conflict is a pvp game mode with some AI

[sonic shard]

ok, got it.
Is there some servers that are always full ? I see average players on Reforger is about 200 players !

so it makes me wonder if i will ever get to actually play with other players...i'm based in EU

[foggy ridge]

200 is way too low, I guess you are looking at steam stats which don't show xbox players

[sonic shard]

yes, it was steam. I didn't know that it was cross platforms

[foggy ridge]

I have no issue finding people to play with recently

[ancient rapids]

Fyi, I've released a pve conflict scenario or two, been currently working on polishing my rhs compatible version with us vs ai, USSR vs ai, and a pvp version with no ai.

[sand verge]

for some reason I cannot get the AI to drive in a car or anything like that I've tried installing mods I tried figuring it out I can't find anything on the internet someone to tell me what's going on please and thank you

[magic pebble]

AI can't drive cars yet.

[sand verge]

but there are vids on youtube

i dont know if i can post this link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPUJIE7Ds9M

but is that a mod or what bc it in the game

[topaz whale]

That might be the human driver driving and then switching out of that character and it continuing to go straight until it sees a threat and stops... and seemingly gets out

[sand verge]

@topaz whale so just put a gut in and and go back to game mater but they have to see a threat to move

[topaz whale]

I don't know specifically because I've never tried but I thought the loophole was be the driver yourself, start driving, then switch back to game Master and it will keep going straight

[sand verge]

ok im going try that thanks for the help !

[errant ledge]

Or do other crazy stuff, but that was a while ago: #meme-arma message

[sand verge]

@topaz whale ya that still didnt work i just try it i just want to play it like arma 3 but it wont work dam game

[topaz whale]

You and me both. But AI driving should be coming at some point hopefully.

Sorry it didn't work out for you. Like I said, I saw someone mention that method before but never tried it out myself

[errant ledge]

Have a look at this: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5C62EEE774E7FE2D-EnableAIDrivingComponent

[sand verge]

@errant ledge i have that mod and i dont know to get it to work sadly

[ancient rapids]

if its a component, id guess its not plug and play and needs to be placed in a scenario or something?

[errant ledge]

I would assume the purpose of this mod is to enable it everywhere to begin with

but then there's also the navmesh for vehicles, which might a be a factor, not sure

That was ages ago when I tried it out 😅

but what I remember is exactly what Jakerod described that you have to remote controll the AI, get into the driver and turn on the engine first.

[foggy ridge]

possess an AI dude, get in vehicle, start engine, exit possession mode

[foggy ridge]

this entire mod is actually just a boolean change from false to true in one place

[errant ledge]

He's correct though. It no longer seems to work unless I forgot some setting I had back then.

[foggy ridge]

what kind of setting?

if it doesnt work anymore ill just delete it from the workshop

[errant ledge]

I have no idea, as I said, it was a year ago. I can't remember.

[foggy ridge]

this mod was released in january

[errant ledge]

I tried enabling the BTRLike navmesh, but that didn't do it either

I didn't use your mod back then obviously 😅

You can see the date of the post was from May last year

[foggy ridge]

yeah it doesnt work anymore, they just turn the engine on and move 1 meter

whatever, ill just delete it

[snow kettle]

Have there ever been comments on the implementation of a spectator mode? Is this something that might end up being included in one of the milestones, or not at all until ArmA 4?

[errant ledge]

I thought they intend to revise the spawn menu, so there might be hope.

[half birch]

PS5 release? No reason not to release it on the proven better console

[cerulean token]

Sony doesn't do early access games. Gotta wait for full release of Reforger.

[half birch]

Gotcha, I read somewhere that was supposed to be around this May but delays will be delays if that's the case

[swift cargo]

Any modders here?

[ancient rapids]

look down in enfusion modifications channels

[swift cargo]

Ope, thanks!

[wooden mantle]

Hey has anyone encountered the "battle eye" issue

[ancient rapids]

what issue is that?

[quaint cargo]

Don’t worry, we’ll figure out all the bugs for the foreseeable future on the inferior console.

[half birch]

As long as you include everybody lol

[orchid geyser]

Is win 11 known to be problematic for reforger? Am considering to update OS

[sand verge]

I have no issues. I've only had issues with fallout 3 NV, a older version of solid works and freecad. But new programs like refrogies works how it should.

[orchid geyser]

Thanks! 🙂

[spark quail]

Same here - my community has exactly the same problem: We are playing since OFP and always played within our community on small maps. Mostly CTF. Right now we switched to CAH ... if you are looking for small scenarios for about 10 players you will find my scenarios searching for Snake1984.

@Bohemia: Could you pls realease a CTF template like you did with the CAH? That would be soooo cool and helpful for your probably most loyal fans back from OFP 🙂

[spare imp]

Is arma Reforger worth re-downloading at this point in time?

[maiden forge]

No

[topaz whale]

Unless you were waiting for landmines. Then yeah give it a download

[sand verge]

Anyone having all customs crashing? Was told it was due to a game wide mod update.

[outer grail]

what is the input lag of Refoger in comparison to Arma 3?

[foggy ridge]

I don't notice any

[haughty robin]

Much better

[outer grail]

That's great! Thanks

[stray blade]

But more crashy

[gilded kernel]

Say, I wanted to ask: When is Air Assualt planned to be put out? Or at the very least, is there any news on the revive mechanic from it?

[topaz whale]

nobody knows

[gilded kernel]

Damn.

[graceful palm]

pretty sure next update is a big update

[topaz whale]

Based on?

[quaint cargo]

If I was a gambling man (I’m a awful gambler) I would guess on Thursday or the next we see a “major update” implanting the remainder of ground support (ai command, ai driving, weapon deployment). Then most likely followed by a minor update or two, to fix any bugs introduced from the major update.

[quaint copper]

Weapon deployment was pretty much implemented already
Im waiting for the medical update more than the AI update

[quaint cargo]

As far as changing the position of the bipod on the gun itself maybe. And I’m aware that prior to the previous update, when deployed and in the prone position, bipods would reduce weapon sway by 60%. But I believe that modifier was removed to allow for the full implementation of weapon deployment/mounting. Ex (mounting my m16 on a balcony or window). But like I said before I’m a awful gambler so maybe I’m entirely wrong.

[west jacinth]

Is there any way to assign new key bindings on PC, especially combined ones like ctrl+mouse scroll

[ancient rapids]

We would first see an update to experimental branch, followed a few weeks later by a stable update. You're right you shouldn't gamble!

[quaint cargo]

And there goes the house 😔

[lyric parrot]

Anyone know how I can use this? We have everything setup but how do I instal it all into my server? https://github.com/soda3x/ArmaReforgerServerTool/blob/main/README.md#requirements I use this BTW

[ancient rapids]

looks like its been a while since that was updated, with recent changes in the server config json file it may not work soon. What kind of server are you hosting, another machine aon home network, same machine as client but dedicated not listen, dedicated on a rented server?

[lyric parrot]

Dedicated on home network

[hoary terrace]

it was updated last week and is ready for the config changes 🙂

[sonic shard]

guys, is there helicopters on reforger or no ? I watched a video from 6 months ago that said basically only 4 heli could fly on a server otherwise 5 would make it crash

what's the situation now ?

[digital crane]

there is modded helicopters and im sure you can have more than 4 in a server

[subtle edge]

So my Reforger is installed on my G: Drive. why the hell are mods still stored on C: ? is there any way to move them? my C Drive is for my OS only and im not willing to bloat that drive with mods. :/ please ping me if you know, so i don't miss it

[stray blade]

Like that: #reforger_troubleshooting message

More info on wiki:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#addonsDir

[subtle edge]

Thank you so much!!! ❤️

[sonic shard]

hello again 🙂
is ther any game modes in Reforger where i can hop in, play a bit, and if i have to quit (2 kids can get a bit hectic sometimes) it wont punish too bad my team ?

a bit like in Arma 3, Annexe and invade

[stray blade]

Any really

[sonic shard]

nice ! dont want to get torched for having to leave the game

[stray blade]

Look, people crash so often, you always have excuse of "i crashed"

[ancient aurora]

is the server browser down

[buoyant turret]

This game have mods for console version?

[quaint copper]

Yes

[graceful stream]

Will a ukraine war mod or some Ukrainian skins for vehicles like the BTR80 come out and some ukraine vehicles like the BTR-4 or some T64s or T72s??

kamikaze drones aswell would be cool and some maps with destroyed citys like Bakhmut

[topaz whale]

They might... especially if you make them!

[topaz nexus]

^ plus with doing it yourself you know when it will be done and it will be done exponentially faster than calling into the darkness and saying "ukraine wen"

[graceful stream]

I’m on Xbox I can’t

[topaz whale]

Well with that attitude you are. Buy a PC! Carpe Diem! /s

[rich rune]

I heard the game will stop being supported in a year. Is this true?

[magic pebble]

#reforger_conflict message

[honest gyro]

Will reforger implement interior’s for armored vehicles like Tanks (I know the BMP has them but that has infantry and I don’t know if tanks will follow that trend) I’d love to be able to see the interior of a tank and look at my fellow crew members.

[stray blade]

There wont be any official tanks

[digital crane]

i think the abrams has an interior

[eager sandal]

Is it possible for the local voice chat be activated by voice? ala TeamSpeak?

[chrome sphinx]

I would guess since all vehicles Ingame have interiors all new ones will too otherwise it would be bit weird and disappointing. Also like said tanks won't be in reforger but Arma 4.

[sand verge]

I would have thought since Reforger is a testbed or whatever they should have had at least 1 of each major type of vehicle so the community can test out kinks and modding etc

[topaz nexus]

I mean maybe at some point but it ain't on the roadmap and they said no tanks. Maybe they'll add something like a Bradley or M113 or BMP-1 so there is tracked vehicles but they did say no tanks

[topaz whale]

Just to add onto it they said no tracked vehicles in early access... maybe after though?

[magic pebble]

My guess is while working on a4, they could drop some updates to reforger to test them out

[topaz nexus]

Yeah, I doubt a4 will come out right away so as they work on it they may end up adding stuff to test things for a4

[versed dove]

Anyone know if there are any UN Berets in the Workshop? I've looked and haven't been able to find any.

[quaint cargo]

The Lav-25 is confirmed on the roadmap

[quaint cargo]

https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1113121072313806858

Best bet is in here

[topaz nexus]

Yeh but not a tank and not tracked

[sand verge]

people act like tracked vehicles are some magical vehicle when its just a car with about 4 to 6 times more wheels

[quaint cargo]

You are correct, my mistake. I misread what you said.

[topaz nexus]

It also just doesn't function like normal wheels and afaik allows for a vehicle to carry more weight as well as greater off-road maneuverability. It isn't magic or anything but it's different enough that you notice when tracked vehicles don't function like they should

[topaz whale]

They behave differently. For example, turning in place.

[topaz nexus]

Yeah

[sand verge]

that is rather trivial to turn on the spot, a lot of tanks cant do that btw

[topaz whale]

I wouldn't call it trivial. Been in plenty of situations in games where turning on the spot was a huge help.

[fading laurel]

What would be the max polygon count for vehicles? Im just at 92,000 on my model right now and would like to know if i have to load my turret in separate to the hull (hull is 51,353 and turret is 40,731, total is 92,084)

[quaint cargo]

https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/976159912679850004

Think this might be a better place for a faster response.

[fading laurel]

Alrighty

[flat pollen]

is there a mod that allows for you to put helmet scrim on the modded helmets

[topaz nexus]

TF Mattock has helmet scrim, seems to work halfway well with other FAST/high cut helmets so long as you don't mind some clipping

[flat pollen]

Okay thx also do you know if there is a mod that has tiger stripe as a patter for shirts

[topaz nexus]

Vergy's military gear is what ye want there

[flat pollen]

Okay thank you

[tranquil shell]

Is there a way I can host a server on Xbox for me and my friends?

[austere nimbus]

No, your Xbox isn't strong enough to run both the game and a server at the time.

You'll either need a PC to run it there (requires a copy on Steam), or rent a server at one of the many Game Server providers.

[ancient rapids]

not nitrado 😬 💩

[quaint cargo]

I wonder if there’s a future where servers could be rented through a menu in game. Would simplfy the process a ton I’m sure and boost sales. Even if Bi didn’t offer the servers themselves they could maybe “authorize” a server hosting website to be “promoted” in the menu and Bi would take a 10% cut off the top for having them in the menu. And the server provider would be fine with I’m sure as they would have a place to market their services, as long as they keep a high standard and quality. Which would be where the “authorized server host” comes from.

Idk anything about server hosting obviously, sadly my pc is long since out of commission or I would have loved to mess around with it and learn. I understand servers come with a price tag and Bi can’t bear all that cost. And if you rent a server you accept that it is a third party and no fault of Bi. Would simply putting a menu in a game with servers to rent put Bi at that much of legal trouble? Genuine question.

I don’t see something like this changing anything about the game but simplifying a complicated process we are already expected to do.

I’m not saying sign with just any company, but if Bi tested and vetted multiple companies and approached one of them to “authorize” them to become a third party server hosting service. We would still have to accept and sign that anything with the server isnt BI’s fault, and if you don’t wanna take a risk then don’t rent anything.

[bleak zealot]

to the Admis/ Devs :
At the moment you can swim in this wonderful water.
But will it also be possible to dive?
Will there be diving equipment?
I'm just saying... it's an island after all... with ports.

[west jacinth]

Look at roadmap. And no diving has been signalled in the feedback tracker.

[thorn furnace]

You can go diving in the game right now with unlimited air supply. Just need some weight to get you down to the bottom (e.g. a jeep). Once ure down there, free to swim around forever.

[west jacinth]

I meant there's no proper diving feature. Just the buggy way you mentioned.

[stray blade]

You can dive... it involves car, dock and some speed. But you need ramp to walk back out. You cant swim up

Speaking on swimming, you constantly get stuck on a rock

[thorn furnace]

this thing is annoying AF

[west jacinth]

Arma legacy

[lament kite]

I play on PC using a controller, is there any way I can change the controller binds? I could only change keyboard binds as of now

[stray whale]

Whats is the server code for utes mod because i have the map code but not map code

[eager sandal]

Does high ping have any effect to game experience?

[quaint copper]

It affects literally everything

Most immediate and noticeable is desync
Your bullets might not even register

[eager sandal]

I see... I guess that's why I need to almost empty the whole magazine to kill an enemy...

[tepid torrent]

exactly

[eager sandal]

I thought I was just a crappy shot

[tepid torrent]

that might also be the problem lol

[eager sandal]

[bleak zealot]

yes i know, but first .. . the question was not for you... hoping that Admins or Devs respond.
second... Arma Reforger... with a Map that is an Island....without diving or Skuba Gear it just makes no sense.
I mean.... in Arma 3 we have that and there is also this little, fancy SpecOps Submarine.
And i think both Factions had Gear like this also in the 80´s.
So ...
.... but thanks for your no answer advice.
have a great weekend.

p.s.
And excuse my rude manner.
But the diving thing really annoys me.
It simply denies the player too many opportunities to add more "deep" to the game.

[tepid torrent]

why is weapon inspect still broken? i haven't inspected my weapon once in over a month

[tepid torrent]

yeah sorry bro but i 100 percent doubt that devs will impliment anything like scuba diving in reforger, yes it is an island and yes they had such equipment in the time frame but it is a bit out of scope for reforger. HOWEVER i completely agree with you in terms of what i want in arma 4, if we dont get scuba in A4 then i will be dissapointed.

[sand verge]

Admins and Devs don't like saying things without them being pretty far along in the works. They have bigger issues for Reforger anyway

For Reforger scuba isn't important, for A4 yes I agree

[topaz whale]

The first 3 Arma games also had islands and you couldn't dive. The first one going in the water would kill you. Then you could swim. Only A3 had diving and I probably used it twice. We're not playing as marines or navy seals. We're playing as US Airborne and VDV. Not against them adding it but there are higher priorities

[thorn furnace]

Would make sense to be playing as US Airborne and VDV, but there is no indication that is the case. e.g. insignia or other.

[topaz whale]

Pretty sure I read that somewhere and thought that some vehicle had the VDV emblem on it. It doesn't make sense for the US to be anyone other than Airborne because the 82nd Airborne is the only Army unit that ever used the LAV-25 if I'm not mistaken.

Oh I see now. The BTR in the Arma Reforger artwork video has an airborne emblem on it

Though I have never heard of the VDV using BTR80s before but I don't know a ton about them.

[quaint copper]

You mean in Reforger?

[topaz whale]

I don't know if VDV used BTR80s in real life

[quaint copper]

They dont have BTR-80s in Reforger

So I guess it checks out

[topaz whale]

Oh is it 70s?

[quaint copper]

The BTR is a BTR-70
The game takes place in 1989

Youd be hearing US soldiers singing Master of Puppets while riding their LAVs into battle

[topaz whale]

And 80s were made starting in 1984. But yeah you're right it's a 70. Just forgot. But I haven't ever heard of VDV using those either

[quaint copper]

They indeed did not
Instead they used the BTR-D

Which was a BMD-1 designed exclusively for the VDV

[topaz whale]

I think there was some kind of BTR70/80 variant they used for NPC troops though but not the one ingame

[thorn furnace]

I think maybe it's not so clearly defined. Som reading on LAV-25, it was exclusively a Marine Corps vehicle. 82nd airborne only borrowed a few for a couple of months in Gulf war. Does that mean to say the US guys are Marines? But the name of the faction is "US Army"

[quaint copper]

My immersion is ruined

[topaz whale]

Could also be that it's an Army unit but has Marine support. They did that in Armed Assault. Or they're going the 82nd airborne is borrowing LAVs again

And the FIA fighting the US makes even less sense

[foggy ridge]

okay so which real conflict is arma reforger recreating?

[plain nimbus]

Is the Reforger Field Manual readable anywhere online other than in the game? Need something to read while I should be working.

[topaz whale]

A worst case scenario of that one very specific incident where James Blunt prevented World War III. /s

[austere nimbus]

Alternate version of the Cold War (which continues all the way up to Arma 3 with CSAT etc)

[foggy ridge]

It's recreating a real fictional conflict?

I am not smart enough for this

[austere nimbus]

You can find the Armaverse Timeline on the BIKI: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Armaverse_Timeline
Where (compared to real history) it branches off during the Cold War, and continues from there

[quaint copper]

I feel that amongst facing a huge threat like the Soviets, America would adapt and change their structure to fit the needs of the battle
Giving LAVs to the Army on an Island isnt that horrible of a bad idea

[tawdry cedar]

Hi all! Someone about mine clearance? I have been suffering with them in conflict for a long time, team kills constantly: if not me, then I

[quartz lance]

Most annoying was Arma 1.
Where you lost/dropped all your gear as soon as you get into somewhat deeper water.

[topaz whale]

Pretty sure the only reason the 82nd got LAVs in DS was because their Sheridan reconnaissance group was disbanded which left them without any light armored recon. I wouldn't think that would be the case here and they should get Sheridans instead of LAVs but at least there is a little historical support for it

[topaz nexus]

Alternatively they can change one word from "army" to "marines"

Plus didn't the Army mostly switch over to the Black Hawk by '89?

[foggy ridge]

when a mine blows up is the instigator the person that blew up the mine or the person that placed the mine?

[topaz nexus]

I got banned since last update for bad mine placement so I'm gonna bet the guy that placed it

[stray blade]

The one who triggered it

[topaz whale]

They were still using them in like 2005 when I visited Fort Knox

It was some calvary unit. UH-1, OH-58. Abrams, Bradleys

[topaz nexus]

Ik they were still in service for awhile but I mean they were being phased out atleast where it counted

Ik 101st used black hawks in Desert Storm to move up to an objective

Which means about two years past reforger they had enough to transport a division

[topaz whale]

It's possible some of their squadrons had UH-1s still though. Or other divisions probably did at least

[rough spear]

Why aren't y'all allowing halo mods? Just curious

[slow pagoda]

what are you talking about?

[rough spear]

I've been told that the reason we haven't gotten like halo ODST or Spartans is cause the devs said no lol

[slow pagoda]

you have been told bullcrap.

halo mods can be MADE

but anything using ripped/stolen models/assets is forbidden

so MAKING is allowed just fine

taking/stealing is not

[rough spear]

Ahh. So it would have to be like custom style ODST armor. That makes more sense now

[slow pagoda]

well it can still look the same as long as it is SELF MADE from 0

and not taken/stolen from some Halo game

the MAKING part is the important thing

[rough spear]

Cool cool. Thanks for the info. I'm wanting to create one for some buddies of mine that wanna do halo like missions

[quaint copper]

So I can remake the HALO OST as a remix, the entirety of the Halo Franchises weapons and armors, and all I have to do is make them myself?

Iirc the last time a Halo mod was made it got blasted for the Music

[slow pagoda]

for the music Id consult IP laywyer. the rest yes

[slow pagoda]

so far there has been no Halo mod MADE

theres been just bunch of stolen crap

so dont be an ass

you are aware of these things

[rough spear]

Well I need to find a mod creator and get with em then lol. I wanna see some halo like battles

[quaint copper]

And what about the Star Wars inspired mod that was self made and Pufu explicitly stated wasn't allowed cause it infringed copyright, and banned the dude who made it

[slow pagoda]

youll have to ask him, I dont know the details on that

[quaint copper]

It was awhile ago
All I remember was that "Looks too much like Star wars doesn't matter if it's original or you made it all yourself"

[slow pagoda]

never heard of that before

[quaint copper]

What's the appropriate channel for discussion about that

[slow pagoda]

but HALO IP enjoys far more lenient and even fan work encouraging licensing, as long as its SELF MADE

[fathom osprey]

You can make Halo-like content. You can't make Halo content.

[slow pagoda]

SW does not

[quaint copper]

I see
That clarifies my question, thank you

[slow pagoda]

Dunno. You can try #other_ip_topics

[slow pagoda]

you can make Halo content.

but you can't TAKE Halo content from other games

[topaz nexus]

It depends on the IP holder, as far as I know. Microsoft let's you do whatever so long as you don't rip assets and such from the game. So a proper ODST should be ok as long as said ODST gear isn't ripped from Halo 3 ODST

Ik I am repeating most likely but eh

[slow pagoda]

😅

basically just said that

but then again maybe repeating it gets it through at some point

[quaint copper]

Wait why can't we make halo mods again? /J

[magic pebble]

On official servers, no. You have to change frequency.
On community servers, you can mostly likely report them and they will be banned.

[brittle agate]

If i hadnt watched that episode yesterday, I'd be angry for spoilers

[sand verge]

Probably a common question, but there doesn't seem to have been any major updates for over a month - are we due one soon....

[austere nimbus]

Since updates come when done and not at a fixed schedule, everything is as it should be.

[maiden forge]

When done?

Did you see release day for 0.98 stability was anything but done

Most frustrated I’ve ever been at the game and I’ve played since launch

[rugged monolith]

is there a RHS discord? im to stupid to figure out how to open the RHS arsenal and i cant find a discord on their pages

[quaint copper]

That's corporate 101
A publicity scam for good PR

They only said that so people stop criticizing them

[maiden forge]

The game regressed in stability ever since 0.98

Before I could play full 64 player conflict Everon on ger eu server

[quaint copper]

Vanilla is very stable

[maiden forge]

Now I’m very lucky to finish a 32 player conflict game

[tardy rune]

its stable compared to what it used to be, but still nowhere near where it should

[quaint copper]

It was more stable in 0.9.7

[maiden forge]

Definitely

I used to play on pbs regularly but I don’t touch any of that anymore because I crash while going to the front

[brittle agate]

They have a thread in enf showcases

[rugged monolith]

thx

[narrow knot]

Is there any other way to DL mods apart from through the in game mod manager......its so fucking slow compared to A3

or someway of speeding up the DL? Its been like this for the last 6mths at least.

[slow pagoda]

no other way

[lethal plaza]

I have a question about private server would this be the correct spot or the #reforger_servers

[narrow knot]

Damn.....prob due to cross platform. Not like an xbox can go install 3rd party launchers

[slow pagoda]

yup

[slow pagoda]

the server channel probably is better since its right on topic

[brittle agate]

You could set up your own mod distribution system, like it was done in Arma 2/3
But that's quite a bit of work

[stray blade]

But good luck starting a server if you opt not to use workshop

[trim sky]

Do the people at bohemia still work on this game? Haven’t really seen any actual progress in a long time

[austere nimbus]

They're probably busy playing their own games
Or working hard on adding more improvements and new features.

[ancient rapids]

there was just a major update not that long ago!

[trim sky]

that was months ago and it added mines that was it 😭

[cerulean token]

It was a month ago. 😛

[ancient rapids]

the over exaggerations on here are insane! lol!

unplayable, dead game, not updated in 11 years

[magic pebble]

Gamers are the biggest karens, it is a proven fact.

[topaz whale]

The next one probably will be months from the last though. It's already longer than 1 month since the last major update and normally they go to experimental branch for a bit. So it might end up being at least 2. I think there was 4 months between the last 2 major updates

[magic pebble]

Closer to six months.

[topaz whale]

Yeah. I for some reason went Decemeber to March instead of May 😁

[ancient rapids]

😎 🍿

[gusty prairie]

It's why I correct people when they ask if I'm a gamer.

"Nah, I'm just a guy who plays video games I'm his free time."

[tardy rune]

i swear though if they dont add ai commanding in next update ima be pissed. its all i want 😔

[austere nimbus]

and the next guy wants tanks, and another helicopters... So what should be first?

[tardy rune]

tanks arent on roadmap, helis are on milestone 2, ai comamnding is milestone 1

so ai commanding should come first

dont mean it will though lol

[brittle agate]

Private communities don't care.
Same as Arma 3 where this was done for a decade now

[stray blade]

If by private communities you mean people who play offline sure 😉
But starting server with addons cli makes it run in local only mode, unless that has changed recently

[brittle agate]

wat

WTF

[sand verge]

Ded needs to work on duh enfusion 🥺

[foggy ridge]

cant use bindip and bindport with addons?

[whole ingot]

Just curious, does arma reforger work on mac or linux?

[austere nimbus]

no, at least not officially.

You might be able to play it on Linux with Proton (although without BattlEye, so a lot of servers won't be accessable). Although results may vary.
As far as I know it's not possible to play on OSX at all (unless you run a VM with Linux and Proton I guess).

And at this time it's unknown if Enfusion will ever be supported on Linux and OSX.

[winter zephyr]

It works fine on Linux (with Proton), including with BattlEye.

And this is basically the same story as it has been since launch. Source: I got the game at launch and have somewhere around 150 hours in Reforger. I only have Linux machines.

But you can also check ProtonDB if you don't believe me.

It even works surprisingly well on the Steam Deck.

[austere nimbus]

I only game on Windows, and develop on Linux (command line), so I have no idea if it works. But I'll take your word for it 😉

[stray blade]

You can (dunno if it has effect). How do you set the scenario tho?

[foggy ridge]

don't think there is a scenario switch, but you can bypass it with -server

[stray blade]

That defo puts server in local mode and its intended for dev/testing purposes only

[shut pumice]

I think that it could be possibly used even for non-local multiplayer.
You would probably need to use -client ip:port and it might probably connect you (I am not actually sure - never tried it)
But you would loose most or even all of backend related functionality.

• server browser
• automatic mod detection and download (ingame)
• crossplay
• battleye
• player identities
  ...

cant use bindip and bindport with addons?
these 2 params are for overriding values in config so they have no effect witout -config param

[foggy ridge]

aw

[stray blade]

But it seems like it was made intentionally harder/impossible to do so.

[shut pumice]

But it seems like it was made intentionally harder/impossible to do so.
Is more like we did so that our devs can use it for developing and some time later it was added to wiki so you can use it too. We were thinking some time ago how we could possibly improve it or allow it with -config param but there are possible issues which might come with it and would need to be properly handled (even across departments because it might require for example some UI changes)
And zhere are like 3 of us working in this are and we have other things to do which takes time so it was not priority.
But I think that it could be at some point possible. When? hard to say...

[stray blade]

Well it aint critical by any means

There are more ... pressing matters

[lunar idol]

Is anything in the works for fixing the server crashes? This is getting ridiculous. Can't finish a single game. I talked my friend into getting the game and he never wants to play it again cause we spend hours building stuff up and as soon a we start having fun fighting the enemy the stupid servers crash

[sand verge]

less mods

[ancient rapids]

just keep hitting the send button on the crash reports. For my server it is mostly client crashes, the server is not going down.

[quaint rover]

Need help with adding mods to my server, not sure what ive done wrong

[lunar idol]

@sand verge
I play vanilla servers

[lunar idol]

Look man, I don't know what it is and I don't care. All I know is game no work and I want game work.

[ancient rapids]

lol! wow

[stray blade]

A friendly suggestion then is: stay away from any early access game.

[lunar idol]

I am staying away from it. After having to restart the game twice due to freezing and having 4 server wipes, not being able to finish a single game after a whole day of playing, it's not worth my time at the moment. But I asked if anyone knew of there was a patch in the works to fix these so I may know when to return had several people respond but none answering the question.

[winter zephyr]

I am 100% certain that bug fixes are being worked on. Nobody here is going to have answers for you on what will be coming next, or if the particular bug you are experiencing is going to be fixed within a certain time frame.

[sand verge]

Hi I'm trying to get into moding for Arma reforger and I have no clue where to start and there's not really any useful info or tips on how to start so if anyone could help me or put me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.

[random cape]

Besides the "BIKI" (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_Reforger/Modding) there's also channel categories here for specific types of content creation (see the ENFUSION MODIFICATIONS channels here)

[stray blade]

Check back in a year or so.

[maiden forge]

Check back Christmas game should have changed massively then

[lunar idol]

Is that just speculation or did they say something?

[maiden forge]

Well

We have an update coming soon which is going to be big

Well the dev blog suggested it

[lunar idol]

Devblog 17?

[versed kraken]

Is reforger dead?

[peak thunder]

Is the fencepost smarter than the nail?

[topaz whale]

Maybe? Is the fence post made of wood?

[peak thunder]

Getting too deep.

[whole ingot]

A fence post not dug in is prone to falling over

[maiden forge]

Idk there was a dev blog

[sand verge]

What is the scenario Id for GM everon

[topaz whale]

Yeah I don't think it got posted in the Twitter or announcement channel here

[magic pebble]

devblog 17 was over a month ago

#announcements message here it is

[flint dragon]

Little help, how do setup a prefab like a weapon to be always inside arsenal box, also will this be working on conflict boxes as well?

[topaz whale]

Oh I meant the one that came out yesterday. I assumed that was 17

[ancient rapids]

Better to ask down in the modding channels, but you want to add to the entity catalog config and also give your weapon an inventory item component.

@flint dragon

[rugged monolith]

hello, im trying to connect to a friends locally hosted server (no mods) but i cant join him, and he can not join me.

[quick gate]

Hello there, I’m here with a question like I’m on PlayStation4 and like was wondering if reforger will be released on PS4 once

[austere nimbus]

No, only on the PS5

[west jacinth]

You, as devs, should make more of this kind of posts. It helps us understand what's going on. And it prevents spreading rumours. I mean it'd be nice if you could join the discussion whenever some technical/development matters are brought up.

[formal pine]

Hey I have a Xbox series S and it says not compatible, I’ve hear that you can play it on the Series S and that people have had this bug fixed before after trying other things for it. Is there anyway a dev could maybe help me?

[topaz whale]

I thought that I remember them saying that it might be on PS4. Might have been in that press doc that got leaked

[sand verge]

I think the ps4 too weak

[dark pagoda]

Hey, I'm on PC and started playing a few days ago. Only issue is, I don't have a name tag, resulting in me being team killed within a few minutes each time I spawn? Does anyone have a fix for this?

[digital crane]

are you in conflict?

[dark pagoda]

All modes

[digital crane]

i think joining a different group in game might fix that

[raw briar]

Hello I just got into pc gaming and was thinking of getting reforger I have a I7 rtx3050 16gb of ram gaming laptop can I run arma? Also is arma reforger like beginner friendly can I load into a match and use a Apache with soembody is it like squad

[tepid torrent]

yep reforger would run decently on your rig, it isnt like squad in a few ways like bigger map more freedom as well as a gamemaster mode, however it is very early access

[raw briar]

Is it I don’t want to have to apply for a server/have to go full Roleplay and do training just to do stuff I like/friendly?

[quaint copper]

Reforger is a very PVP centric game, a la battlefield

[raw briar]

So I can get it and fly a Apache lol?

[quaint copper]

The PvE is pretty..... bad, right now

[raw briar]

Or use a tank etc? Can I do a quick match? Or is it all servers where we gotta plan etc etc plan for hours then do the operation

[quaint copper]

AI is a mixture of cracked out and braindead and players are much smarter yet predictable opponents

[quaint copper]

Depends
If you wanna fly youll probably have to fly in those Roleplay milsims, or in singleplayer

Tanks, I know a good server for them, one thats also very beginner friendly, and encompasses every aspect of land warfare this game has to offer

[raw briar]

Ok I’m thinking of either getting arma dayz or gta rn fivem

[quaint copper]

Theyre all completely different games with completely different styles

[raw briar]

Yeah I know I’m just not sure what my heart desires are yet lol

[quaint copper]

FiveM is basically an Arcade game, DayZ is NOT beginner friendly, and Reforger has the best community of all of those

Id say Reforger out of those three for its uniqueness, especially if youre looking for PvP

[raw briar]

I play dayz console lol but j see watchu mean

Yeah I’ll prob just slide the money to reforge then get gta and dayz later on

[quaint copper]

FiveM is not on console

[raw briar]

Can I add you

I’m on pc and ps5 I can play either but yeah ima prob get arma I own squad and ready or not

[quaint copper]

Reforger feels like a bastard child of Squad and DayZ

Same engine as DayZ, similar gameplay loop to Squad, yet feels wholly unique

[raw briar]

How’s the customization can I cumstomzie my gun however and customize

[quaint copper]

Depends on the mods you play with

[raw briar]

If I get most likely get it you trying to play?

[quaint copper]

In your DMs I showed you the best place to learn

[raw briar]

I saw it

[quaint copper]

Just hop in and ask around and, after you play the ingame tutorial, pretty much anyone you ask ingame will teach you how to play

[raw briar]

Wait rq what era of vechiles are theyre?

[quaint copper]

Depends on the mods

[raw briar]

Oh ok

I bought it alongside gta5 but gta is a 100gb

Tfff

[minor radish]

could anyone provide me the Zimnitrita Scenario ID?

[sand verge]

Anyone able to make a few mods for my community

[ancient rapids]

I made and fixed a couple mods for the reforger community! You and your community are welcome to use them! 🙂

[sand verge]

Need custom made mods for my milsim unit

[whole ingot]

I believe the proper channel is #creators_recruiting , try there perhaps?

[slow pagoda]

Not paid ones

[drifting ocean]

i have a question, how do i boot up arma reforger without battle eye. i would like to experiment vorpx (VR) with arma reforger. but since battle eye thinks vorpx is a hack or cheat they tend to ban you (from what ive heard.). ive looked around and havent found out how. thanks in advance. but how awesome would arma reforger be in VR!!!

[ancient rapids]

maybe start a local server with battleye disabled?

[minor radish]

Thank you so much bro!

[still canyon]

Go in to the Arma Reforger folder and run the executable without _BE. That should launch Reforger without battleye

[polar oyster]

Is there a new Scenario ID for Kunar?

[dense mica]

I need xbox admin please

[half locust]

what?

[slow pagoda]

we dont have that kind of role here. you will have to state your issue and perhaps you can be guided to right direction

[umbral rune]

Anyone have a good mod order they can share

[west jacinth]

What do you mean by mod order?

[umbral rune]

For a server like just interested in trying mods so I asked of anyone would be willing to share so good ones

[vale tusk]

RHS is by far the most stable and comprehensive set of gear and weapons

can recommend that

there are mods by DarkGru that will bring RHS into conflict scenario as well

[west jacinth]

RHS, although it's russian studio, so all ruskie weapons are overpowered.
DarkGru.
Exactly what @vale tusk said.

[brittle heron]

Actually RHS is made up of Arma community members from across the globe stretching back decades.

[half locust]

RHS is not a Russian Studio…What is overpowered? Would appreciate if you wouldn’t be talking out if ignorance, thanks

[west jacinth]

@half locust Ok, thanks for the clarification. Every time I spoke to people in Arma 3 there were fairly clear clues that RHS is russian.
As for OP weapons, I meant Arma 3. I should have stress that. Some russian/soviet weapons are much more accurate than in reality. UAZ-469 is parodically tweaked and it drives like a normal, modern car; in reality it's a bit different. AN-2 plane ability to fly with very low stall speed is significantly exaggerated; same applies do it's sturdiness.
Anyway, RHS mods are fairly good and recommendable.

And I see that good old "if you need information, say something completely wrong on the forum, you'll get 100s of committed comment's" still works perfectly.

[half locust]

here is from our website not really russian (from here = https://www.rhsmods.org/team)

anyways, this is about reforger, in regards to A3, there might be some small game tweaks but generally speaking we have no interest to take any sides whatsoever

[slender tusk]

Do anyone know how to fix the car bug? The one that when you enter a car and your mouse stops working and cant move or exit

[west jacinth]

Respawn. ATM no other fix.

[west jacinth]

Ok. Thanks. Although I've seen your page, I've never looked deeper. So it's a good news you're not russian.

[half locust]

with that sorted, back on topic plox

[west jacinth]

Yep, small tweaks in Arma 3 like Tigr occasionally withstanding direct hit with HEAT MAAWS.

[minor radish]

Can anyone tell me if darkgru overhaul packs are working for anyone else i have them in my .JSON but the guns and gear are not in the arsenal boxes ?

Is there anything im doing wrong as far as just adding the mods to .json file?

Any help is much appreciated.

[quaint copper]

That pack is being removed from the workshop due to legal reasons. I don't suggest using it

[polar oyster]

15:47:23.854 RPL : ServerImpl event: disconnected (identity=0x00000000), group=1, reason=1 any clue what this is?

[quaint copper]

Someone left your server it seems

[polar oyster]

Okay, so whenever I go into GM, it crashes me out.

[minor radish]

Thank you so much that explains allot and i can understand why they’re doing so glad I actually got to try out the gear a couple of times at least

[quaint copper]

Probably a mod mismatch error

Use the workshop web page? There is a filter button there where you can filter by type too https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop

[south current]

Vinilla helicopters when?

[tardy rune]

soon™️

[south current]

Time to deploy my battlefield hardline helicopter skills

[tardy rune]

youll have to wait a while. ground support update is nearly finished out, and air assualt (what has helicopters) is the next milestone. though the roadmap is more like a feature list for the future at this point, because .9.9 includes some features from air assualt too. anyways, helis should come in the next 1-3 major updates. how long thatll be, who knows.

[south current]

Hey, atleast we got a roadmap
And the game is still fun even at this point

also thanks for the info ♡

[tardy rune]

👍

[mint crypt]

Were does one find the roadmap

[tardy rune]

@mint crypt

[topaz nexus]

Out of curiosity, when WILL we end up seeing AI driving and commanding

[fierce vine]

Has anyone tried playing Reforger on the steam deck? What's your experience with it?

[topaz nexus]

I believe 2kliksphilip put out a video on just that

[random cape]

Interestingly enough BI skipped over a few Ground Support things (mainly AI) by throwing in a bunch of Air assault things

[random cape]

No way to know unless BI says it 🤷

[vale tusk]

The official response has been:

Driving: "sometime"
Commanding: "sooon"

There's already code and Configs in the game files for commanding

As of exp branch 0.9.9

Not much for driving though apart from what looks like some scaffolding classes

[topaz nexus]

Yeah I just figured why not ask. Though that is quite interesting with the commanding

[vale tusk]

My educated guess is it's very close but just not 100% there yet, and would expect to see it in 0.9.10 if not before

[maiden forge]

Did you see in the SAV video an ai was driving the btr

[vale tusk]

Which video? As far as I know they can only drive in a straight line atm

You mean the official videos in the blog post?

[maiden forge]

In the server authoratative vehicle blog

They collide with a uaz

[maiden forge]

A btr is being driven by an ai

[vale tusk]

Oh right, didn't know that. That's their internal build so good to know there is something in the works

Be amazing if both came in the next major update so ground support can be closed off

[rich rune]

Highly important question

Will there be window wipers?

[stray blade]

I think it could be added together with blinking and chest hair update

[half locust]

can be modded...

[half locust]

i was missing the chest hair thing...this can also be modded if you reeeeeally wanted to i think

you can now also add ballistic protection to it

[rich rune]

I don't think anybody on this earth would care about window wipers enough to create a mod for them.

[half locust]

qed thing...you seem to...why don't you do it ? 😉

[rich rune]

Because I can't even get an agent to work in minecraft

[half locust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ancient rapids]

sounds like a personal problem!

[supple wigeon]

Actually if I remember correctly someone was making a mod to make vehicles more realistic

[stray blade]

Tbf bi is asking for feedback, and they are aiming for realism with reforger.
And the way i see it, this is feedback, and improves realism.
Especialy if they go with simulating wet windscreens, wipers will be needed for fpp.
Ask for blinking...all chars have 1000 mile stare.
Chesthair... well, its set in 80s after all...

[random cape]

Re: AI commanding -- don't get your hopes up about it comparing to A3 commanding complexity

Not unless BI has more commands to be revealed than the four that were in the roadmap

Which is absolutely possible

But until such a reveal, all that BI has confirmed is player-available counterparts to the existing GM waypoints Move, Get In (vehicle), Search & Destroy, and a Follow command

[zealous mortar]

The game kinda previews how commanding works, way I know is the field manual has a topic on AI Commanding

[outer grail]

Will be Reforger on sale?

[austere nimbus]

nope, and most likely never (at least not till after the early release)

[winter zephyr]

It works surprisingly well. I'd recommend setting a lower FPS limit.

With the improved controller support in Reforger, input is not a problem.

And BattlEye works.

[sudden rose]

i'm new and currently looking for a realistic like MILSM and to get some help/advice, anyone willing to assist?

[small lichen]

Will everything that’s just been added to the experimental branch be in the next update?

[fading berry]

Where do we put recruitments?

[languid lodge]

@fading berry #communities_arma3 or #communities_xbox type: /community to start the bot

[random cape]

No Promises™️ I'm afraid

[small lichen]

Ah that’s all cool. Do we have any ideas of when the next update might drop?

[half locust]

when ready (generally +/- 2 weeks)

[small lichen]

Alright thank you

[random cape]

Just gotta follow along with #reforger_experimental and do what some do (keep an eye on the Steam depots indicating that changes are being pushed)

[violet sequoia]

how do i open the viewports on the btr 70, i get a prompt to press f and nothing happens

[sullen path]

Scroll

[violet sequoia]

i did that

[sullen path]

Not sure if you have to hold f, but just scroll and they should open

[violet sequoia]

scrolling while pressing f and not pressing f, still no dice

[sullen path]

Hmm dunno then. I thought it was bugged at first but after some fiddling scrolling seemed to open the hatch in small increments. But I’m not sure what other actions i took

[sand verge]

WIll reforger have a Campaign?

[supple wigeon]

No

[topaz nexus]

Hopefully someone makes a campaign when this game is finished, imagine all the stuff you could

[tepid torrent]

i want a remake of the first part of the OFP campaign!

"who do you think you are! an old lady?"

[sand verge]

David Armstrong the OG

I remember Kozlowskis team calling him a bit nutty in the head

[sand verge]

Hi all. Been playing around with Reforger for a while now, and made a few missions. A few observations around graphics - fidelity seems to be relatively washed out in terms of colour, and also the image looks grainy - anyone else observed this? The graphics just look a little... last gen

In some cases, screenshots of Arma 3 assets look much more crisp and defined vs. enfusion

[magic pebble]

arma 3 screenshots makes you want to play it, videos of it make you not want to play it. a3 images are misleading.

[topaz whale]

I've seen plenty of A3 videos that make me want to play it. What are you talking about?

[topaz nexus]

I mean true but I believe this is in reference to graphics

[austere nimbus]

When A3 was being announced it looked 10 times better than A2, and other than the early issues (as is an industry-standard it seems) it delivered that. Not only the graphics but also gameplay (even though it took some time to get to the point were we are now).

I don't expect anything more than that for Reforger (or Arma 4); both graphics and gameplay wise it's better than the previous title(s), it just needs some finetuning.

And please don't compare Arma with any other game, because you can't...

[sand verge]

alot of people dont even know how to compare one game to another

[foggy ridge]

by graphics, obviously

[topaz whale]

I absolutely could compare it to other games. Terraria, bioshock, Zelda. All fair comparisons. Just isn't helpful.

I don't feel that the gameplay for reforger is better than A3 in the least bit either at least not yet. It's missing like 90% of the mechanics which is fine but I don't know how you could say better while missing so much

[topaz whale]

Sorry, my last comment was replying to this one

[foggy ridge]

yea there's no crafting

[shy wind]

is there a reliable way to attach the flashlight to your jacket after having turned it on? it only works somethimes after switching back to my gun, sometimes my character will just put it back into his pocket

[magic pebble]

On PC, you hold L instead of clicking it to turn it on and keep it on your vest.

[shy wind]

Oh jeez, I've been doing it wrong all the time 😄

It's a bit confusing though, that the same action often is on a different button depending on context (not only with flashlights). Why is switching on the flashlight on "R" when the flashlight is actually selected and on "L" otherwise?

sometimes, when you have an object in your hand LMB will trigger the main action for that object (weapon, grenade), which is intuitive and makes sense. When you have e.g. a bandage in your hand and press LMB, the game will just switch back to the last object you had in hand before that instead of applying the bandage. this is really confusing

[west jacinth]

Yeah, some of the control ideas are a bit weird, but eventually it works fine. If you think that something should be improved, make a ticket at feedback tracker. Probably sooner or later we will get fully customizable controls, because right now there are limited binding options.

[shy wind]

I'm generally fine with the default bindings and context sensitive actions. Just a little more consistency here and there would be nice.

[topaz whale]

I too feel like controls are really inconsistent and I also feel like all options don't pop up at the bottom of the screen

[west jacinth]

Bohemia always had innovative ideas for controls in their games. In first Arma you played the keyboard and the game equally 🙂

[safe apex]

anyone here know how to set up a nitrado server?

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to make the loading screen time go faster on PC? Whenever I die in any server, Commumity or Official, it takes around 30 seconds for me to be able to play, but when I’m in the black screen with radar signal in the top right, I can hear what’s going on but it’s all black. Is this a normal occurrence, or did I do something wrong?

[quaint copper]

Put it on your main drive, not an external

[half locust]

ssd, the faster the better

[foggy ridge]

how is getting a faster drive going to speed up slow network communication when things are streamed to you when respawning?

[whole ingot]

I got an ssd, and it certainly felt like it loaded faster after death - mind you, correlation may not be causation

[foggy ridge]

if it happens to you in multiplayer but not singleplayer it's network

when there's like 60 people on spawn the game has no problem making me wait more than 30 seconds sometimes

it even makes me wait when I test the game with a local server, though not as long

[half locust]

there are 2 issues at play - one is local loading of data, one is network data transfer

[foggy ridge]

local loading of data is irrelevant if it takes me 30 seconds to spawn when using a NVMe drive that can do more gigabytes per second than the total amount of memory this game uses

[lament kite]

not really. The multiplayer game could be requesting you to load more data from you local disk

[foggy ridge]

it loads more in singleplayer, and singleplayer is way faster to respawn

[lament kite]

depends on the mission

Most missions in mp load more

[half locust]

let’s agree to disagree then.

[foggy ridge]

fair, so what upgrade path would you recommend for me to make the server send me data faster?

[half locust]

i was replying to a post that had limited information.

in regards to faster loading on respawn

feel free to move your data to a hdd or a slower pci ssd (i can’t, i only have gen 4 nvme ssds) and am on a 1gbit up down connection.

[foggy ridge]

I can reproduce this 100% of the time in workbench and peertool (but the delay is much lower, so at that point it might actually be the drive)

[lament kite]

When you spawn you dont load things from the server, you already download those things you know, when you install the game

[half locust]

i only experience what is described above when the server is about to take a dip

[half locust]

feel free to use #reforger_feedback instead in that particular case, is it definitely a network issue if you are not bound by your isp or your hardware

[foggy ridge]

in my experience running servers for almost a year now I have found zero correlation between "long respawn time" and "server about to crash"

[half locust]

i have yet to encounter long respawn load time in general, like i very very rarely haved dced even when everyone was complaining about it

[foggy ridge]

I wonder if the super low memory budgets have something to do with it

ie. when you are on a busy server and you turn around to find furniture in a building floating in mid-air and the building isn't rendered yet

because the memory for it isnt available yet

there's a lot of content being loaded into memory on modded servers because the assets have higher poly counts and texture res I'm guessing

[half locust]

but considering your experience on the matter that as you have stated is much larger than mine with regards to arma in general (i only have been playing this franchise since 2002-2003) and reforger in particular, feel free to guesstimate as you feel it is necessary based on your own observations

[foggy ridge]

I was referring to my experience running reforger servers, since the game came out a year ago

I don't understand how your experience with other arma titles is relevant to a reforger-specific problem

[half locust]

that depends on the content of the mods, it’s hardly a general rule (sure there are mods out there that tick the above, just as there are mods incompatible and with poorly optimized lods, collisions etc)

[half locust]

it isn’t, just stated that, not sure why you seem to want to contradict me. I just stated that your own vast experience with reforger is relevant

[half locust]

does the engine uses vram or ram for streaming data from local files?

does it stream directly from local files (ssd/hdd) like all previous games did?

[foggy ridge]

it's a good point about vram, I should measure it

the green guy that talked about it did not specify which memory it was

[half locust]

reforger pushes my 10gb vram, i’ll see when my new 24gb card arrives if there are changes. Sure it only uses a small portion of the 128gb of ddr4 i have available

[foggy ridge]

well grafix should be in vram, I should also test if it happens when using lowest quality settings, so the footprint is maybe smaller

but I know for a fact the black screen with radar icon when respawning is bottlenecked by network

obviously if your drive is slower than the network (or slow in general) then the bottleneck is your drive

but I wouldn't want to have someone buy an NVMe only to find out it barely made any difference in the respawn times

[half locust]

that is the point i was trying to make considering the info provided. There is definitely less obvious improvements between pci ssd and gen4 nvme that it is from hdd to ssd (there are various tests availa on the web)

[foggy ridge]

man the jump from hdd to ssd when they started getting mainstream was insane

[half locust]

it could be a number of things, including local issues (hardware, connection speed, latency etc) as well as server or network specific bottlenecks

[foggy ridge]

I have spent unhealthy amounts of time trying to tweak server hardware and streaming settings

[half locust]

not everyone has though…

[foggy ridge]

but yea fiddling with server settings isn't going to help players running slow hardware, though it did eliminate lag for issues like T166337

it seems my jimmies are rustled with the networking stuff so much I forget to account for the fact some people are still running on hdd

[short pine]

Is there currently a way to take the new medical items to your hand and administer them to teammates on experimental?

[magic pebble]

Yes

[narrow knot]

hello

has anyone tried reforger overthrow ?

i am trying to place posters, but keep getting a message.. "you dont have the rights to send a game master only ping"

[tardy rune]

its because its bound to the same key as gm only ping. i would get a notification every time, but it would always work for me anyways. maybe try binding gm only ping to another key?

[narrow knot]

Thank you Squirrel.....much appreciated. I am a reforger noob 😦

i also needed money to place them....$5 / poster

[tardy rune]

all good

[lusty vector]

Why add lav-25 when nothing but RPGS can pen ?

[quaint copper]

Cause Murrica?

[winged arch]

I am trying to add the hunger and thirst icons (metabolism system) to my server. Is it in the base game or is it an addon mod?

[amber vector]

Can we have the Keybinds for XBOX: Swap the push-to-talk button from LB to the MENU button and vice versa?

[topaz nexus]

Presumably to test a stabilized turret with a big gun and provide a platform for destroying buildings, alotta the soviet stuff with equivalent armaments and protection is tracked, guess they're staying away from it rn?

[west jacinth]

Yep, some initial attempts at environment destruction are present in Experimental right now. We can destroy that big trash containers and glass windows model of destruction is better that in vanilla.

[topaz nexus]

Out of curiosity will we ever see the humvee flatbed variant added?

[slow pagoda]

Unknown

[old storm]

If I were to start my own conflict server what mods do you guys think would be absolutely necessary to have? (asides from additional content. Mostly looking for administrative stuff and expanding gameplay)

[silk compass]

Not part of base, its something implemented in various DayZ and Life mods. Don't believe there is a single metabolism system mod.

[winged arch]

Awesome. Thanks

[supple wigeon]

There is a flatbed truck planned for the final strike update but idk if it’s a Humvee variant

[tepid torrent]

I think it is a civillian one, i have seen a pic on the enfusion webpage and it looks to be a ZIL-130

[random cape]

Yeah the lack of a faction header for it indicated that it'd be a civilian vehicle... though besides the ZIL-120 there's a bunch of other options in Arma's history for flatbed trucks including the Iveco Daily 4x4 (Arma 3's Truck), the Ural 375 (though this might be deemed not visually distinct enough from Reforger's Ural-4320), the V3S, even the previous games' Offroads...

[cerulean token]

I was sure it was gonna be a V3S. Got a pic of the ZIL-130 you saw ?

[sand verge]

I havent seen either a praga or zil-130

ural is just so much better than the zil-131

[topaz nexus]

Not very visually distinct though innit

[glad siren]

Is arma reforger arma 4

[brittle heron]

nope.

[glad siren]

So it’s just it’s own game

[brittle heron]

yep, Reforger is in early access, so in active development and although playable it is not a "full game" at this point in time.

[glad siren]

Will it ever be a full game?

[brittle heron]

It is intended to be yes, Arma 3 also started out as an early access title.

[tepid torrent]

no it had more of a ute build, although i wouldnt complain if we got a praga for the fia!

[glad siren]

Ok thank you

[brittle heron]

no problem 👍

[tepid torrent]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/File:enfusion_puzzle-result-3.png definitely looks like a zil-130

its the classic blue color as well!

[sand verge]

looks like the everyday ural 4320 to me

[tepid torrent]

ah yes there are 6 wheels, pretty sure there are 6 wheeled variants of the zil-130 but your probs right its probably just a blue ural, would be nice if we could get another vehicle though

[sand verge]

this is bi we are talking about. I doubt it will happen, im still salty over arma 3 "alpha / beta" where that ivan guy pretty much said you get what you get

[hoary otter]

Will mods made for reforger work on arma 4 without any issues?

[lament kite]

Mods dont work from update to update i doubt they wont have any issues. Its up to the mod maker to update

[cinder kayak]

I only have 13 mods activated and they won’t work

I don’t understand

It always says game failed to start but awhile ago I could run 20 and it would be ok

Pls help

[lament kite]

xbox?

[slow pagoda]

Unlikely

There is probably some stuff that need refitting

[west jacinth]

Does your game work in vanilla, ie when you disable all mods?

[cinder kayak]

Yes

[cinder kayak]

Yes

I have deleted them then reinstalled the mods but it seems like it didn’t work

[west jacinth]

Oh, but you're on a console, so I won't be able to help, because I know nothing about xbox.
