[half locust]

minecraft has raytrace. by that analogy it should be a realistically looking game.

[dusk hull]

No?

[unreal junco]

since this is a new engine still in development same as the game itself, your statement is similar to saying BI did not provide improvements between op and arma 3, which is just false.

[dusk hull]

Op?

[half locust]

to conclude, you want some more graphics settings and recent tech (a lot simply unavailable for consoles to begin with) because that is how you have the feeling that the engine had a meaningful update. Ok

[unreal junco]

operation flashpoint (the one before arma which already was on RV engine)

[dusk hull]

"Unavailable"
Thats not true

[dusk hull]

I didn't say that though?

[half locust]

raytrace is not available last i check on my ps5…hdr is, dlss isn’t, fsr kind-ish i guess

[foggy ridge]

obviously graphics are the most important part of the game

[half locust]

yes. let’s end the discussion here.

[dusk hull]

No, this entire conversation was sparked by the game being very demanding, which partly relates to all of this. You just barged in trying to prove a point that doesn't matter for the original matter

[foggy ridge]

there are some pretty big roblox milsims out there, I wish I was kidding

[half locust]

but i don’t think it is very demanding either.

[dusk hull]

FSR is available

Raytracing is available lol when was the last time you used a ps5?

[half locust]

yeah, they rip a lot of arma models, that is how i found em

[unreal junco]

you said this and it is just wrong, meaningful updates/improvements/optimization will happen for sure, it happened on arma 3 and will happen on a EA game . . .

[half locust]

2 months ago or alike

[dusk hull]

No, ages ago

The ps5 always had raytracing support

[half locust]

are you telling me when i have used my ps5 now?

[dusk hull]

It always had raytracing capabilities

No matter when you used it for the last time

[half locust]

i guess i haven’t played any of these games with ray trace support on the ps5 then…

[dusk hull]

I didn't say they didn't update from op to arma 3. I said they didn't meaningfully Update it during arma 3s lifetime

[dusk hull]

Hogwarts legacy

I am pretty sure the ratched and clank game for the ps5 also has raytracing

[half locust]

and that is false. They actually did. Just not enough for you to notice in your gfx settings

[half locust]

had a look over a list of games with rt support for ps5, have only played one (metro) but most likely haven’t noticed

[gusty prairie]

Yep. They made huge improvements to the engine over the life of A3 including being able to utilize hardware better over the decade its been out. It doesn't look better, but that super doesn't matter for Arma.

Not to mention AI, weapon feel, how helis/jets work, etc.

Multiplayer still had crappy perf because of how AI impacted, but SP just kept getting more performant.

[half locust]

not all these changes are engine side which is one of the points that is important. But there were several that were

[dusk hull]

But that was the original point
The game being very demanding which is partly tied into these gfx settings

[fossil osprey]

This is such fake enthusiasm for marketing stuff that doesn't really do much.

[half locust]

but you won’t fix that by slapping hdr and ray tracing. some sort of dlss/fsr improvements would be welcomed for people who want that. But it won’t change the demanding aspects

[gusty prairie]

Yeah. I can't state specifics because I'm not a computer nerd, so I don't. So the "more hardware usage" was the only one I had that was verifiable lol.

[dusk hull]

Ah yes, hdr, raytracing and upscaling don't do much.

Do you only play 20 year old arcade games or what is it? They have a huge impact and are decisive features when it comes to picking gpus for a lot of people

[dusk hull]

Well dlss and fsr would be nice to make the game available for more people/more interesting because I can finally feed my high refresh rate display. Raytracing is just the future and if the game is supposed to be running for a long time, that would be a way to keep it decently looking.

[fossil osprey]

It has a huge impact only on people who are subject to marketing trends.

• RT only supports about 200 games at the cost of large hw requirements and debatable benefit. RT can render about a thousandth of the native resolution pixels. It is still ridiculous.
• Upscaling is downgrade
• Frame generation is another strongly propematic thing that works only when you go above higher framerates like 60, 100..
• HDR maybe ok, but probably nothing that you would run to the store to buy a new monitor

And so on.

[half locust]

whatever dude, i guess we play different video games, i honestly don’t remember having to activate dlss in recent memory (i prefer old school native resolution over downsampling to supersampling), i don’t care about hdr because i choose my dell monitors based on picture accuracy rather than hdr and high ref rates, i also don’t much care about current gen ray trace in games due to limited capabilities (noise and no of bounces)

[fossil osprey]

Even GTA 6 may not support ray tracing and that will be the next best selling game.

[half locust]

i love raytracing for bakes and renders, but for games is gonna be a while till is usable

[fossil osprey]

I say positive things about things that are positive 🙂

[dusk hull]

"upscaling is downgrade"

Casually ignores dlss 3.5

[fossil osprey]

This is an endless series, DLSS 1 was bad, so DLSS 2 is productive, but DLSS is the absolute bomb. But before DLSS 4 comes out, then it will be laughable before that, but before DLSS 5 comes out.. so you can go on forever.

I just watched a video about FSR/DLSS and I don't know what's so good about it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUCYHvorrk

[half locust]

there are like 10 games (maybe) supporting dlss 3.5….

[dusk hull]

You are just making a completely void argument. Literally everyone agrees that dlss 3.5 ray reconstruction looks better than native. Maybe just play a modern game once

[half locust]

if you continue with this passive aggressive approach you’ve been having, i will mute you. Either have a decent conversation or do something else if you’re unable

[fossil osprey]

I play games based on whether I'm interested and not if they have DLSS 3.5.

[dusk hull]

Didn't he start it by just lying about it?

I just said that even experts agree, that ray reconstruction makes games look better

[half locust]

i didn’t get a chance to test it in cyberpunk just yet, but i have tested it in a real time rendering software solution where it does speeds up my workflow, but i wouldn’t say AI reconstruction is better than native, far from it

[fossil osprey]

It looks better than previous iterations of ray tracing pixel blur. And thats all.

Anyway, you probably won't even see RT in Reforger or Arma 4, because that's not the direction they're going with it.

[dusk hull]

Play cyberpunk if you own it. It fights a lot of the ghosting that is related to pathtracing and generally improves sharpness of reflections

[dusk hull]

Thats the direction the industry is heading towards 🤷‍♂️

[fossil osprey]

Will GTA 6 have ray tracing?

[half locust]

i own it since release (i think i also own it on ps5, i remember buying the disk). I will give it a try but i doubt it will give me goose bumps

[dusk hull]

The ps5 doesn't support it

Since it runs on amd hardware

And ray reconstruction requires any nvidia rtx GPU

[fossil osprey]

RT only supports ~200 titles, 10,963 titles were on Steam in 2022. Is that really where the gaming industry is going?

[dusk hull]

Look at the playernumbers of the raytracing capable titles vs the rest instead of just ripping the total numbers for all games

[half locust]

i am well aware that it is proprietary to nvidia. i own 3 pcs, all nvidia gpus (1x 3070, 1x 3080, 1x3090ti). The fact that some tech is not supported by consoles means that for a first multiplatform game for bi it might not worth the time and effort

[half locust]

the no of people playing rt games is irrelevant for arma’s target

also irrelevant in terms of optimizations

[fossil osprey]

Sure - https://steamcharts.com/top, in top 10 is only Cyberpunk 2077 using RT? And how many players have it turned on is another question.

[dusk hull]

Fsr is available for everyone though 🙂

[half locust]

but not natively, and limited somewhat in terms of fsr3

[dusk hull]

Limited in what way?

Fsr doesn't look better than native. That much can be said. It is still a worthwhile addition. Especially if you run a game multiplatform

[half locust]

because of the hardware in consoles that barely ticks the very minimum but not the recommended (in terms of gpu performance)

[dusk hull]

Oh you mean for framegeneration

Yeah, but fsr 3 will still do it for the upscaling

The rx5000 series cards (and subsequently the console gpus) just don't have a lot of asynchronous compute so thats why they are not the recommendation

[half locust]

we were talking about curent (or very recent) tech that bi could use to improve performance. fsr 3.0 possibly being one such cross platform feature (with certain limitations due to console hardware)

[dusk hull]

It will run fine on consoles. The upscaling part is still the same as fsr 2.2 and frame generation runs ok-ish on the hardware of the consoles

[fossil osprey]

FSR 3.0 frame generation doesn't work if you want to make 30 frames into 60. Neither does DLSS.

[dusk hull]

Technically it does turn 30 frames into 60

You are just limited to staying at the same (or worse because of frame gen latency) latency as 30fps would have

Visually it very much looks like 60fps

[fossil osprey]

That picture is full of artifacts, frame generation works 60+ FPS, if you want to make 60 FPS to 120.

[dusk hull]

The frame generation is pretty good in terms of ghosting or artifacting. Please read the reviews

[fossil osprey]

I watched video 2 hours ago - https://youtu.be/jnUCYHvorrk?feature=shared&t=1410

[eager sandal]

Does texture not loading quick enough related to not enough VRAM or slow VRAM? It usually happens to me after playing for a while, maybe an hour or so...

[fossil osprey]

No, it's not related to hardware.

[warm ocean]

@topaz whale

I found the pool

[topaz whale]

Where was it?

[warm ocean]

It’s in monti. Coming from Tyrone, as soon as you get to the top of the hill and see house it’s on the right

@topaz whale

[topaz whale]

I think that's more of a water treatment center.

[warm ocean]

It use to be empty but now it has water in it

[topaz whale]

Yeah that isn't a pool. Not sure of the correct term but it's more utility than recreational

[warm ocean]

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/33YLHRZT7F

Had my darkgru admins looking for it for days lol

[terse cloak]

yeah thats not a pool

[warm ocean]

It’s the closest swimming pool I’ve seen 😭😭

[terse cloak]

yeah but been in map since creation

[warm ocean]

It was empty before

[terse cloak]

you sure?

[warm ocean]

Now it has water. I mean I swear I’ve been to that spot and don’t remember it being there. The dev hub on the Roadmap website, said they added a “swimming pool” to the middle of the map

Along with a few spots in the mountains and the coast

[terse cloak]

i think its always had water

[topaz whale]

At the very least I don't want to swim in it https://maps.app.goo.gl/geh6PCoazPXXQXdaA

At least it reminds me of all those artificial ponds I see all over czech villages

[ancient rapids]

Looks gross, I wouldn't swim in that!

[magic pebble]

remind me of the swimming pool in summer camp in fifth grade

[tepid torrent]

no no no dont swim in there! 🤣

[shut cosmos]

Yes it has always had water, it used to be super black water

[midnight flume]

Are mods stable in game for the most part or are they glitchy or cause the game to crash or lag on xbox?

[gleaming holly]

most are quite stable but running 30+ large mods can sometimes cause things to conflict, leading to issues. im on xbox as well and havent had any problems since the last game update

[midnight flume]

Ok thx@breadnbutter_968

[floral forge]

bruh

[zenith talon]

had to ask 😭

[chrome sphinx]

There were some multiplayer playtest recently right? What was the aim of these? Probably to see if they fixed server related issues? Since the youtube videos make them look like normal matches

[tardy rune]

they are normal matches just with devs playing, i assume to get feedback and find bugs, but also probably to have some fun

[bleak arch]

How much does the character weight without clothes or equipment?

[magic pebble]

Zero.

[tiny spoke]

not sure if this is the place for this kind of question, more geared to arma4 in the future / potential improvements, but with reforger/4 is there any chance we could have the ability to give slots like Map, Terminal, etc that normally dont have visible model capabilities the option? A large performance issue we face in our modding communities is having too many selections in one P3D for vast amounts of customization, which we have to pack densely due to limited slots to have visible models and many various locations and types of customizations. Those slots being uniform, vest, backpack, facewear, and NVGs. Opening up those additional slots like Navigation, Watch, Communication, and those listed prior would be great for splitting up the selections and opening up customization sets a bit further. I could even see people having their compass/radios/wristwatch actually visible on their persons in some capacity. Especially with ACE Extended Arsenal.

[slow pagoda]

unlikely. However Reforger already offers more customization options to begin with. (and many mods take it a bit overboard with the options)

[tiny spoke]

[supple wigeon]

RHS has it to where magazines put in the vest are actually seen on the person don’t see why you couldn’t do it with other items but I’m not a modder so idk. Also don’t really see a need for it.

[tepid torrent]

i hope they add this to vanilla, rn you can carry plenty of grenades but they dont get put in the holders, and there arent any mags sitting cozy in the pouches, it would be a small but mindboggling detail

[stable topaz]

I'm not too bothered about mags and grenades, but big items like AT mines or ammo crates should be visible.

[tepid torrent]

i agree they should prioritize larger equipment first and if all goes well move on tosmaller equipment

[tepid torrent]

i hope they add throw strength again, maybe a throw strength based on how long you hold mouse button down

[foggy ridge]

if it would also restrict how many you can carry then that would make sense

[quaint copper]

Somewhat it already does, pouches work correctly on the different vanilla rigs (I can fit 6 PKM mags on one kit if I manage inventory correctly)

The issue is getting the right items to go into the right slots isn't easy, and especially when you can just shove everything in a backpack and be done with it

[stray blade]

Grenadier vest seemingly did the same

I also hate that you cant pick which "container" items will go to when right clicked

[minor acorn]

It's kinda meant to be quick interaction to make stuff either go into an inventory or out of it. With drag and drop functioning as the more controlled method.

[stray blade]

Annoying none the less, perhaps click on backpack -> priority destination backpack, click on vest -> priority destination vest.
Much like a3

[topaz whale]

Me too. I was really upset when they didn't have it in A3

[magic pebble]

LMB long throw. RMB under hand throw. hold both of them for a middle/short throw

[slow pagoda]

grenade key to take grenade out and pull pin, LMB down for prep throw, mouse wheel to change strength, release LMB to let if fly?

(hold too long and hand cramps dropping the grenade)

😈

[stray blade]

Give "firemodes" to grenades

[glass spear]

Hi everyone, simple question: how do I move all my data from the documnets folder to somewhere else? I don't want to have all mods and stuff filling up that folder and I want them in another drive

[hollow plank]

Is there a way to get a wireframe view in the game? Or is that only gonna be in workbench? Just exploring

Oops nvm, this is easier in workbench lol

[cerulean token]

So, why does the lighting get brighter if you look towards the horizon and become darker if you look at the sky ? Is this a real phenomenon ? It looks quite strange.

[hollow plank]

It's HDR (high dynamic range) which simulates the human eye adapting to changes in lighting conditions, it does happen in real life though in AR maybe it's just a little quicker and more noticeable. It's like when you go outside and you gotta squint cause its bright for a minute until your eyes are used to it

[stray blade]

#reforger_troubleshooting message

[cerulean token]

Yeah it's awfully noticeable. Moving your camera up and down makes it really obvious

[foggy ridge]

you're describing exposure compensation (or dynamic exposure), not HDR, the game does not have HDR support

HDR equalizes light and dark areas to be equally visible on screen

[molten cobalt]

Why isn’t there any servers running the RHS mods?? I’ve only seen one but by the looks of it.

[low crystal]

Hello me and my budds are considering switching from A3 to Reforger. I was wondering if there is some ME units like Takistan Militia to play against as USMC or something like that, if not maybe chedaki? I want to stick with modern setting maybe some Armaverse from A2, is it possible yet?

[digital crane]

because most people refuses to use it because it’s almost 3 gigs, which is unfortunate because all their stuff is top quality but i guess some people were also saying it was causing crashes on their servers.

[molten cobalt]

Yeah I heard about there servers crashing but I seem to be okay on Xbox

I’m on one right now trying to help get it populated to see how it goes 🥲 it’s also based in NA so hopefully if goes well

[terse cloak]

not possible yet

[neon meteor]

why is there no fullscreen?

[terse cloak]

wdym?

[neon meteor]

well there is borderless fullscreen but no true full screen

[chrome sphinx]

Reforger isn't that complex yet

[stray blade]

Design choice

[neon meteor]

that makes no sense

wdym design choice

[fossil osprey]

True fullscreen is no more needed for dx12 apps, but that the application switches window modes is amateurism.

[stray blade]

Huh?

[fossil osprey]

A-M-A-T-E-U-R-I-S-M

better? 🙂

[stray blade]

nono "application switches window modes" part

[fossil osprey]

The game switches from bordeless fullscreen to windowed if you do something in the menu.

Although it hasn't happened to me yet in the latest version.

[stray blade]

yeah, that something indicates messed up config and you have to delete it, usually happens in between updates. (same with some keybinds not working etc)

It was more prominent when exp and stable used same profile folder.

[fossil osprey]

They can make a different profile for experimental. Anyway, it's bugged even if you only have one version.

[stray blade]

They did.

[fossil osprey]

I didn't notice that, the workbench has its own config

[vestal sinew]

just incase you dont know, L ALT+ enter will put you back into full screen

[stray blade]

A very annyoing hard keybind if in you ask me

[terse cloak]

not that hard

[raw hamlet]

I've been unable to tune the radio frequencies. I press G and then R which work, but when I try and tune SCROLL WHEEL L CONTROL nothing changes ... I've deleted all mods and reinstalled the game but same problem persists with or without mods activated. Thanks for any help one can provide

[magic pebble]

I think it is l+ctrl and scroll wheel

[raw hamlet]

You are so right, I miss typed

Thank you !

[vestal sinew]

does whipsering in game make it so people further away cant hear you? cuz for what I know there isnt a chat voice volume similar to dayz

[forest crown]

Yeah, I wondered about this myself. I assume it helps, but don't really know

[stray blade]

Hard as in hardcoded/cant be unbound

[terse cloak]

Aah

[inland flint]

people can't join my locally hosted game due to replication errors

[slow pagoda]

damn replicants at it again

[digital crane]

so with the new experimental version being 1.0.0.11 does this mean it will be out of early access when it comes to stable?

[chilly briar]

How soon do you think we'll see AI commands and driving? I was doing some testing last night and I saw AI attempting to drive a logi truck, so they have to be close to being finished

[chrome sphinx]

That was pretty much always working (I Think) from time to time and is rather a bug, and hopefully this year. Experimental got updated today with the statement that it will be updated for atleast a month so some chance it will still appear before this new update gets to stable. If it won't appear in this upcoming major update then probably sometime early next year

[fossil osprey]

That versioning doesn't make much sense, I guess. Just some number.

Although in the past they said that 1.0 should represent something bigger including a PS5 version (or PS5 after 1.0).

[quaint copper]

Game will hit 1.0 in Christmas

[gritty wind]

fail

[crisp path]

Can you bind HOTAS for helis?

[chrome sphinx]

Not yet

[topaz nexus]

So are they planning to add the other features from the roadmap to Reforger post-1.0?

Or are they gonna keep it in early access 'til roadmap is done

[stray blade]

Until new roadmap is released, its unknown

[chilly briar]

I believe the other roadmap content is coming. Everything on it needs to be completed and functional before Arma 4 releases. Those are all standard features for an Arma title, so it would make sense for BI to get them in a functional state in Reforger and then launch Arma 4 with those features already in the vanilla build

BI is developing an Arma game on a new engine and Reforger is basically Arma 4 alpha

[vivid briar]

How do i change controller binds?

[tepid torrent]

yeah where is that bloody roadmap 🤔

[neon meteor]

there is a bug when after you load the supplies at the supply depo and bring them to the base, the menu of the vehicle shows the information as if it was still at the supply depo and you cant acces the menu of the base

[timid rune]

Anybody have any idea why nobody can hear me in game, I set my mic in steam and on my desktop. And rebinded the radio and talking key-bind to a key-bind that I’m familiar with. I’ve also completely relaunched my game and redownloaded it many times and it still doesn’t work. I’m on PC btw.

[unreal junco]

i think reforger take windows default microphone

[timid rune]

And removed the ones I don’t use

[timid rune]

Yeah I’ve already set the mic to default in windows settings and still nothing

[tired dock]

Does anyone know how to fix a kick group 3 battleye reason 12 invalid server conifig? I’ve got that error when trying to get on my server

[timid rune]

What else could the issue be

It also sucks that arma reforger hasn’t added a voice output and input setting in the menu so you can just select without going through the pain of figure this stuff out

[unreal junco]

setting to default fixed it for me. maybe try to remove your profile folder ?

[sand verge]

anyone know what this means
No GameMode present in the world, using fallback logic!
i'm trying to make a test server and i get this error
i have my jsonfile but im not sure what to do

[timid rune]

Why do these files fail to download I have over 780 GB of storage left

[slow pagoda]

PC or BOX?

[timid rune]

PC

[timid rune]

I also have the bug where some mods get stuck in the disabled section in mod manager

[timid rune]

Are you able to help me?

[tepid torrent]

yep just saw it, checking it out now 👍

[slow pagoda]

negative, but wanted to clarify the platform in case someone else has knowledge about the issue

[timid rune]

yeah this issue is really pissing me off

I cant even play my favorite server's or GM

[slow pagoda]

you could try looking into clearing the download cache

[timid rune]

where is that

cause none of my addons are showing up in the documents thing, they only show in game in the Mod manager

[slow pagoda]

dont remmber off the top of my head but you could try googling "Arma Reforger clear download cache"

[timid rune]

didn't work

theres not even mods in the addons folder

[slow pagoda]

well I dont know anymore about the issue than google does

hopefully someone else has some tips you can try

[timid rune]

Yeah I hope so to

[chilly briar]

Do we have an ETA for AI commanding?

[chrome sphinx]

No

[chrome sphinx]

There is no Eta for anything, look at the new roadmap.

[sage pilot]

To promote a Reforger server for PC and Xbox players, should one use the #communities_xbox channel ?

[chrome sphinx]

or #communities_arma3

[stray blade]

#communities_xbox would be xbox exclusive

[woven gazelle]

guys is it me, or early-early alpha had a <Pointing with finger> feature on PC, and now it's gone?

nvn, they've changed the default bind, sorry

[languid lodge]

@plush kernel if you got a crossplatform server you can always use both 👍

[fathom hazel]

Helicopters at Experimental branch can be controlled by joystick?

[stray blade]

No

No hotas input yet.

[vast stratus]

Is there a way as a server admin to limit the amount of helicopters?

[west jacinth]

Have you resolved your mic issue? If not, shut down Steam, press WIN+R and paste this: "control.exe mmsys.cpl,,1", you should see your mic working. If so, do not close the sound controls window and start Reforger.

[timid rune]

I will try

[marsh marsh]

How do you access things from the new Arsenal box in experimental!?!?? I see that they have a box symbol in the corner I’m just lost on how to gain access to the items in the Arsenal box

[half birch]

If it's 1.0, doesn't that mean it's out of early access? If that's the case, will it be coming to PS5 soon?

[chrome sphinx]

No one knows

[slow pagoda]

its still in early access

[half birch]

Ohh, gotcha

[slow pagoda]

you will know from BI news when there is new info on any PS5 stuff

[half birch]

That's a fair point

[modern atlas]

How do the pre built objects work in experimental? The base with structures, supply caches and encampment. I cant seem to get the prefabs to work at there locations

[gleaming holly]

theyre a little wonky for me, supply boxes floating and stuff but you place them at specific locations marked with a blue dot on the location name pin

[old adder]

Does somebody know any mod or way to do some copy pasting as GM ? I'd like to offer a scenario with custom ennemies but controlling them one by one to edit their loadout is a bit tedious (only GM as it's the main way we do scenarios on our servers)

[quaint cargo]

Is there anyway to control vehicle speed on keyboard and mouse similar to walk speed?

[tepid torrent]

no but that would be rather nice

[quaint cargo]

Very wierd going from range of control to stutter fest

[tepid torrent]

that is one of the drawbacks of keybord,its either yes or no, gamepad allows a finetuned input, this is good for steering acceleration and more

[quaint copper]

It's the one thing controller players have advantage on compared to PC players.
Driving vehicles and flying aircraft

I'd rather have a PC Gunner and Console driver than the other way around

The PC player can aim better and abuse the 10x view distance they have over Xbox Players, and the Xbox players can keep the vehicle smooth and steady

[quaint cargo]

Any chance Xbox view distance ever catches up we think?

[steep grail]

wait until I tell you it takes 3 seconds to turn on an xbox controller on a windows PC and you can pick it up and set it down for what you need

[quaint cargo]

Bullet holes on range targets not loading?

Seems so useless…

[tepid torrent]

i am going to consider doing this in future tbh

[quaint cargo]

Waiting…

[chilly briar]

Will there be AA to counter helicopters?

It'll be awesome if there's SAM sites in conflict

[chrome sphinx]

I don't think there are going to be Sam Sites

Maybe some kind of stinger launcher for soldiers but yeah

SAM Sites are more a thing for Arma 4

[magic pebble]

PKM with tracer rounds is your aa

[feral loom]

Stinger
(AN/TWQ-1 Avenger / M6 Linebacker)
or
9K32 Strela-2
(9K31 Strela-1 SA-9 Gaskin on BRDM-2 / 9K35 Strela 10 SA-13 Gopher on MTLB)

[chrome sphinx]

Yes but I doubt they will be in reforger, more likely A4

[feral loom]

in Reforger rather Stinger and Strela or Igla launchers for infantry

[old adder]

if they add ways to fight or transport people using aircrafts they have to add a way or another to shoot them down

otherwise it would way too op

[neon meteor]

there is a setting which lets you manually control gears

[quaint cargo]

Yeah i currently use it, just can’t control anything outside of max speed.
Also assume redlining a vehicle all day will destroy my engine / gearbox eventually

[feral loom]

but since there are no flares for helis (yet?), AA shouldn't be added, since it's then 100% hit rate.
so rather Zu-23-2 or Shilka and M163 Vulcan, like in Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis

[old adder]

AA doesn't necessary means guided missiles, could be like you said AA guns designed to take down helicopters
seeing AR is set in the cold war era, it's much more possible
and I guess we'll see flares and guided AA missiles in no time added to the game as mods anyway

[half birch]

Which would make more sense in Reforger, strictly in the base mode btw, but would the LAV or the Bradley fit the year the game takes place in?

[feral loom]

LAV-25 yes, but Bradley no

[old adder]

.50 machineguns are very effective anyway

[half birch]

Ik that part, just genuinely didn't know which would make the most sense, I suppose

[feral loom]

mods are mods and here it's about base game

[old adder]

yup, I said my part about the base game anyway

[topaz nexus]

They had Bradleys in '89

[feral loom]

yeah - checked and it was in service already starting from 1981

[topaz nexus]

Yeah, it still wouldn't make sense since the guys in Reforger are supposedly 82nd Airborne

[feral loom]

Reforger is '89

[topaz nexus]

Correct

[slow pagoda]

it is still a game in ArmaVerse and not exact historical representation

[topaz nexus]

Yeah which explains the LAVs

[gleaming holly]

anyone know if "admins":{} works in config.json yet? on stable

[stray blade]

It does not work yet. Mods can read it, but does not allow passwordless login

Will AI be able to fly helicopters?

[chrome sphinx]

Yes

[gleaming holly]

the roadmap only says "AI driving on roads" so its not confirmed or denied yet

[chrome sphinx]

Sooner or later they will

I mean that should be pretty obvious for a arma game

[west jacinth]

Can anyone tell me how "Request transport" feature on the map works?

[quaint copper]

You click where youre at on the map, then you fast travel to your squad leader or the Priority Objective for the entire faction

[west jacinth]

That's interesting, I'm testing different things on "scenario" gameplay in experimental. I'm playing alone and if I use this feature it moves me randomly couple of hundred meters away from the point I'm at

Not to mention that this RMB function on the map is extremely annoying.

[pulsar night]

Is there any way to get Enhanced Combat Ops on my own server? I havent been able to find it anywhere and would love to have it.

[quaint copper]

Experimental only

[analog bane]

OK dumb idea/question what would it be like if Arma Reforger had mud physics like Mudrunner for example has that been bickered about already or am I insane? Also would that even be possible in the enfusion engine?

[sand verge]

15 fps unless the effect lasts 5 seconds probably, the game is pretty demanding already. After all its a Simulation, add alot of players on top of that

[foggy ridge]

I'm sure it can be faked with more than 15 fps

you probably don't need it to be 100% physically accurate

[eager sandal]

Just watched videos of mudrunner. Never heard of the game before. Anyway, I think the physics side maybe doable... the visualization side, maybe not so much without tanking FPS... considering we can't even have wet clothes stay wet when we dipped into the water

[steep grail]

its that no sweat no drip tech 😆

[tepid torrent]

i mentioned this game quite a while ago! it is a rather fun game along with snow runner and i highly recomend trying it if your into off-roading games 👍

[neon meteor]

Mud runner physics are insane

[tepid torrent]

they are indeed, and in coordination with the smart, performant but good looking visuals the game is a masterpiece, snowrunner takes it to another level again visually

[errant ledge]

If you don't mind hosting a server on experimental, you can find the mod and scenario ID here: https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1163193204326273176

[analog bane]

I see so arma 5 then xD or a very silly shortcut

I feel the idea would have some merit to actually quantify the necessity of certain vehicles and also prevent goofy vehicle assaults through rough terrain

[willow canyon]

are there launch options for joining right into a server?

(from a desktop shortcut)

[stray blade]

There is -client launch parameter where you can specify ip but only works for local servers afaik

[willow canyon]

hmmmm

[eager sandal]

If my mods are in different drive than the main game, will it have any bad side effects?

[stray blade]

Try to keep them at least on ssd

[eager sandal]

Both are on SSD (NVME), so I guess it should be fine? The mods are in default "My Documents" folder which is in main C drive (Windows), while the main game is another drive just for games.

[stray blade]

You know, you can move mods to other drive too

#reforger_troubleshooting message

[clear sparrow]

Does anyone know if a guy named Emmanuel is a scammer?

[foggy ridge]

wat

[storm tiger]

Im thinking no way at all tbf. Mudrunner has softbody physics, which is another level of complexity. Basically a vehicle is a network of springy things instead of a box. Softbody physics are great, but I can’t see these working well in a 100+ player online multiplayer milsim, collisions just become so much more complicated.

like, even in optimal networking conditions, the server would have to simulate the squashing and bending of dozens of trucks, helis etc..

[tepid torrent]

i was more thinking of the environment visuals side of things with mud, water, and vehicle surface effects, reforger already has a robust and good looking vehicle suspension and physics system but i agree soft body would be overkill, more just having mud and water flick onto things when driving, and the possibility of getting bogged based on surface friction values based on the amount of water on trails

[foggy ridge]

I mean you'd do the visual side similar to how you make trails in snow and sand

[tepid torrent]

exactly, it cant be that demanding right?

[foggy ridge]

on modern hardware definitely not demanding, I could see a general support for "thickness" (with a few other parameters) of surface materials that would allow simulating trails or footsteps

forza horizon did trails in 2016 and they ran fine on xbox one s but I think they were not mesh trails

[cerulean token]

I could see rain effects on windows, those would only have to be rendered pretty close to a vehicle/building

[fossil osprey]

If it's a limited area (river bed) and not the whole map, maybe the terrain tessellation isn't extra demanding?

However, it probably has to be transmitted over the network somehow.

[random cape]

Not all of it is standard features for an Arma title, the electrical system seems to be original

[storm tiger]

yeh I'm thinking the multiplayer is what makes this tricky. Ok if we're purely talking about a visual effect of players adding a visible trail to the world, kind of like bullet hole decals, fine.. But as soon as this stuff actually has any effect on players, like lets say deep mud trails from trucks, that would maybe affect how a jeep crosses it, they would need to interact with each other, and then you get to the basic and difficult problem of networked players acting upon, and being affected by, some shared thing simultaneously.

for visual effect, I think they've got a pretty convincing texture based approach already. Look at bullet hole decals, they look 3D but aren't. But I'm pretty sure there are excellent reasons why decals disappear after a short time...

[mint crypt]

How do build a helicopter pad ive spent better part of 4 days trying to learn and running supplys but bases max out at 650 and they require 850?

[quaint copper]

Bring more trucks, build more services and stuff, then it should give you more space
Every service has a supply depot in it now

[lucid tulip]

there is an easier way go to specific capture points. the big ones needed to get points to win the map are usually loaded with thousands of supplies and dont require supply runs to build up a base for a helipad and helicopter

[mint crypt]

Got you thanks I've been running around building bases getting ranked up running idk how many supplies trying to get helicopters in gramps pve

[lucid tulip]

st phillpe, military hosptal, coastal base chotain. there are also a few non major points that are loaded with supplies as well

Like Provins and the Airfield point

[quaint copper]

Most towns will have supplies hiding inside them too

Warehouses, attics, garages, just look and youll find some
Theres about 100,000 supplies scattered around the map

[lucid tulip]

im not talking about hiding.. im talking about capping a point and already seeing a few thousand supplies already loaded within the commant post

[quaint copper]

Thats cause the hidden stuff is close to it

[magic pebble]

^

They are not loaded in the command post. They are nearby.

[lucid tulip]

remind me is the 350 self regenerating supplies per base supposed to be the top cap without addition supply runs or is that a glitch? becuase the max a commandtent can have is 500

[neon meteor]

Does anyone know if perhaps Reforger has gpu usage problems with amd cards?

[magic pebble]

could be, my machine with the amd card, never go over 60% utilization.

[neon meteor]

Is it stable 60?

And what card do you have?

[magic pebble]

on my amd machine I got a 7900xt

[neon meteor]

how much FPS?

[quaint copper]

Im getting a stable 50-60 on Experimental Vanilla

[neon meteor]

specs?

[quaint copper]

RTX 3060 TI and Ryzen 7 77800 X3D

[neon meteor]

all low?

[quaint copper]

32 GB DDR4 5200 MHZ
Medium to high graphics settings

[magic pebble]

~80, but it drops to ~50 during gun fights, and to ~30 if the gun fight is big, ~20 if the gun fight is big and in a town.

[quaint copper]

Most things are medium, some like the object draw distance are maxed out
I turned down V Sync and thats it

[minor spear]

question is also "what resolution"

[quaint copper]

1920x1080p

[neon meteor]

That FPS seems alright for those specs and settings

[quaint copper]

The game is capped to 60 on PC

[neon meteor]

FPS or Usage?

[quaint copper]

Or at least ,Experimental is by default
Most of my settings are left default

[neon meteor]

fov?

[quaint copper]

Like 70
its pretty tight, helps me see farther away

[neon meteor]

that helps FPS als well

[quaint copper]

I cringe seeing people play on 90+ FPS and think theyre cool cause they hae a wider vision, then get wrecked by something right in front of them 200 meters away that they couldnt see

[magic pebble]

fps

[neon meteor]

I play 90 but if the game didn't have zoom I would play 80 probably

[neon meteor]

damn even worse than me considering I have 6600

Does it stutter as well?

[magic pebble]

stutters are rare so i would say no.

[neon meteor]

ok that's what is bothering me

My FPS is between 40-80 but the stutters are worse

[crisp galleon]

Is there any way to fix when a mod says unable to download without clearing the cashe?

[neon meteor]

low as well or?

[magic pebble]

all ultra 2k

[supple wigeon]

Out of curiosity is there a reason that we didn’t get the UH-60 as the US helicopter it’s been in service for 10 years at the time the game takes place.

[quaint copper]

Probably cause its a bit more iconic

CCR and Get Some

[neon meteor]

bro you fine

[magic pebble]

there is like a 5 fps difference bettwen low and ultra, so if imma lag all over the place, i want the game to look good while doing it

[neon meteor]

Really?

for me it's a big difference

[minor spear]

Fwiw stutters seem somewhat inconsistent between users, but there definitely is some related to texture loading. The game doesn't even use all the VRAM on my 1660 Ti but there's a lot of stuttering regardless of graphics preset.

[minor spear]

There is definitely a big difference. Reforger appears more GPU limited at least without many AI, so the difference will depend on your resolution, settings, GPU

It's possible that the difference is less when AI is involved and in multiplayer because the game is running into a CPU limitation for some people, and in that case there will be less difference between graphics presets

At 1920x1200, medium settings, my 1660 Ti does about 45 fps, but there's a lot of stuttering related to texture loading. Paired with a i7-5775C.

[tepid torrent]

yep I actually have to search buildings now for supplies and i am loving it

[lost moon]

[wind lantern]

Is it possible that helis will be getting fast ropes? I heard someone mention it a few months ago but I'm not sure

[graceful relic]

Can we please get controller mapping (aka key binding) for the Xbox in this update? As amazing as all these new items and features are, it's clear that the controls on Xbox are getting really stuffy. The helicopter controls are a big example of this. They don't have the best controls at the moment... Controller mapping would help a lot, giving players the ability to fix this themselves

[regal shuttle]

does rain affect traction while driving in reforger? I was doing a bit of rally driving to really dive into the driving model in game and turned on rain and I think it did affect it but that could just be placebo or something.

[gleaming holly]

as far as i can tell, yes. the rain itself doesnt but wet roads offer less traction

[regal shuttle]

yuh, arma rally is about to be amazing

[hazy bluff]

Would be cool if mud affected vehicles and infantry movement too

[eager sandal]

Yeah. And water too. Like when wading water, it should slow you down quite a bit. I believe it can be done, just like how the movement is slowed down when moving up hill.

On that note, does moving down hill faster?

[crisp path]

I believe so

[light totem]

[eager sandal]

Is there a use case to use headphone or speakers settings in the audio settings? I mainly just use Speakers, even though I am using headphone. Headphone settings sounded quieter.

[storm tiger]

[regal shuttle]

only if you have hit something

or in other words, skill issue

[gleaming holly]

i find that headphones setting allows me to have better "directional" hearing if that makes sense. as in speakers setting is loud, while headphones setting can let me more easily detect where distant loud/close quiet sounds come from

[light pulsar]

how do you sit on the experimental pc version?

[strong frigate]

Does Reforger have private Coop yet? Just looking to do a PVE with some buddies.

[gleaming holly]

yes, there are a number of options (both vanilla and modded) for PVE stuff. you will need to rent or host your own dedicated server to play with friends though

[strong frigate]

seriously?? then what is the point of the Host New Server button? Trying it with friends now and noone can join

[gleaming holly]

Overthrow is quite a lot of fun if youre looking for something slower and more long term, and Combat Ops is a blast

[strong frigate]

Im not paying to rent a server

[stray blade]

You need to port forward. But it does work

[gleaming holly]

it does not work on xbox afaik, PC will require you to set up port forwarding on your router or use VLAN

[strong frigate]

Im on PC

My friend is getting kicked because of a connection era

Seriously port forwarding? what fucking year is it

[stray blade]

2023 why?

[gleaming holly]

look into Hamachi (you and anyone who wants to join will need to run it) or configure your router. wym what year is it? port forwarding is non-negotiable for hosting anything, thats how internet servers work

[strong frigate]

pass - reforger is legit a scam and bohemia should be ashamed for selling this for money. Arma 3 is 10 years old and doesnt involve any port forwarding

[gleaming holly]

then dont do it? you got a solution and rejected it, not sure how to help you lmao

[stray blade]

It does

[gleaming holly]

yeah, every single game (and any self hosted server/service) requires you to port forward. the entire planet isnt on your subnet

[strong frigate]

I host private servers all the tiem for my group - weve never had to port forward anything

[stray blade]

you did, you just werent aware of it. You ticked UpNp box

[stray blade]

There are games that use proxie servers etc (left for dead for example) or on-demand servers. Arma series isnt one of them

[strong frigate]

Okay so Reforger just doesnt have this feature then?

[stray blade]

Yes. Why? Dunno.
Bohemia got some heat cause that box revealed some sensitive stuff that needed not to be shared. Didnt read it fully so idk the details

Anyhow, for reforger you need to forward UDP port 2001 by default and you are set

[tardy rune]

yeah i believe upnp can cause some big security issues. still wish it was there, took me like 3 hours to figure out the port forwarding and it still didnt work half the time

[stray blade]

Additionaly, server app is free and doesnt even require steam account to run. You can install it on any pc and run your own dedicated server.
Which is recommended cause server takes waaay more heat than any other arma game in the past, as all stuff is now server authorative.
You do have to be tech saavy enough to make it run tho.

So if you play with up to 5 ppl, perhaps listen server (ingame host) will be enough. Beyond that, you will all just suffer.

Hope that helps, if you need more info, read pins in #reforger_servers

[scenic fable]

hey how do i find where the supplies are located? im in a base atm and on the map it says this base has 350 supplies but ive checked everything and cant find them at all. im on the experimental branch btw

[stray blade]

Supply depots are marked on map. Other unmarked depots exist in garages/houses/barns etc

[tepid torrent]

hit up the power station theres plenty there!

[scenic fable]

im aware, ive checked i believe every building but theyre all empty :/

[stray blade]

Not all have them, you learn about em when you randomly stumble upon one, or someone tells you about it (or opening game in workbench)

[scenic fable]

i know how supplies work. i just cant seem to find which structure theyre all being hidden in. on the map when i hover over the location it says this base has 350 supplies. ive checked all the player built structures to try and find where these supplies are, but they dont seem to be in any building.

[tepid torrent]

so is the supply placment randomized?

[scenic fable]

like i said ealier im on the experimental build if that changes anything

[tepid torrent]

they could be invisible...

[scenic fable]

it says when you look in the inventory of the buildings how many there are in the building.

[stray blade]

Oooh, yeah think anything above will start showing up in crates around base, ussualy command tent or the radio tent

[scenic fable]

then im either blind or something is broken because i cant find them anywhere at all, no buildings have supplies in them

[stray blade]

Well they are defo somewhere. But system is a bit meh, and bugged.
Afaik there will be changes to it

[scenic fable]

rip

[stray blade]

Maybe within a week

(This is also why im glad supply dupe glitch exists, to compensate for borked supplies)

I wasted 2 hours on the first day to ferry supplies across the island, with ultimate goal of building helicopter and crashing it into a tree, only for supplies to be eaten away by arsenal and and server crashes. Also helipad not getting allocated any supplies despite base having over 7000.

[ancient rapids]

Are you playing a custom conflict?

I've seen them in many random buildings

[scenic fable]

i left the server but i was on an offical conflict server on experimental build 1.0.0.19

[terse cloak]

350 supplies spawn on a base if it has radio access to the HQ radio

[scenic fable]

like i said, im aware. it said on the map that the base had supplies. but when i was searching the base for where those supplies were. they werent there. im 99% sure it was just bugged and either the supplies werent spawning or there were no supplies and the map UI was bugged

[terse cloak]

No proof no help, sorry

[ancient rapids]

supplies can be stored at any service location built at the base, vehicle service, heli pad, armory, etc. they were probably at one of those.

[storm tiger]

don’t be dense guys. He’s stated multiple times he’s aware of that. It can either very much bug out or is at least absurdly difficult to understand where the supplies are really. I’ve had several situations where the base showed several thousands available for building, yet none available at a specific service, and you think ok, somewhere within the base radius there must be some I can relocate to this service. then you look around all the services etc and wonder where that thousands number comes from because you find: none.

some hidden stash in a warehouse somewhere? You go around looking. But you don’t find em. Then you go back to the command tent and see that it’s not thousands anymore because some helicopter addict took them all.

I’m thinking, the entire player facing logic of the supply system must be exhaustively describable in a few easy sentences. But it’s clearly not at this stage. There’s really weird edge cases in addition to bugs, where it’s entirely unclear what’s a bug and what’s by design.

[storm tiger]

Now personally, if there’s some weirdness to it, I can live with and actually appreciate.

This is the Death Stranding of mil sim logistics. But Death Stranding doesn’t randomly take things away from you.

(Last night snuck into enemy base and watched 4 guys for more than 30 minutes faffing about really hard trying desperately to get a Mi8, and it was mostly dismantling/rebuilding a helipad and general head scratching. It was hilarious to watch. But they definitely had the supplies, one guy kept bringing full trucks. Only it seemed they couldn’t stick the supplies to the helipad (they weren’t happy when they finally figured it out and immediately died after takeoff))

[tepid torrent]

the part where they died made me sad 😢

[zenith talon]

Is there a way to not have the frame drop off on laptop without plugging it in now?

[gleaming holly]

[zenith talon]

no it drops when i don't

[gusty prairie]

Is it going into power saving mode when you unplug the laptop?

You may want to check its always on high performance mode after you unplug it.

[graceful relic]

This is actually quite normal for laptops, as most do not support the highest performance when not plugged in. So when unplugged, they drop automatically in many areas. It's just how it is

[magic pebble]

You should be able to change that in the power settings

[lone knot]

how do I change the squad team?

from white to red or blue

[junior totem]

Will Xbox ever get an update for AI render range? Sux being able to only seen bots up to 600 meters

[ancient rapids]

I have that issue when not plugged in, it does not use my GFX card it uses the one on the motherboard until I'm plugged in

[thorn furnace]

It's already an unfair advantage they can't see 600 meters.

[junior totem]

I’m asking about the players view range.

And this I meant through scopes and binoculars

[lone knot]

I ment how to change the unit team color like a solider in the team white how to change it to team red? ( eden editor)

[thorn furnace]

Right. But it should be balanced. The AI can only see you out to 400 meters or so, so surely you shouldn't be able too see them, if they can't see you?

In conflict, AI despawn completely once there is no player close. It's not just you can't see them; they are not even there.

but maybe an argument AI should see further, not their draw distance should be higher.

[junior totem]

I mean you’re right and i agree. However it’s a little off putting to have a high magnification scope just to see a head and hands, you know? There is sort of a fix to this if you use binoculars, which can generate the body as well. PC has the setting for a higher render distance, im asking will console players ever get that

[magic pebble]

This is arma reforger channel, you should ask to arma 3 channels. But to answer your question, just spawn a soldier from the red team, and make him the squad leader for the units you want to change to the red team. Then you can delete the soldier and they will stay red.

[junior totem]

The focus wasn’t about SEEING as in detection, it’s about the game properly rendering bodies that can be seen through scopes, binoculars, etc.

[thorn furnace]

I didn't see an issue with that. if there is only parts of a body showing like hands or feet, sounds like a bug should be reported

Maybe you only see head and heads because camoflage? the 4 pixels or whatever that make up the torso looking like the background.

best too see a screenshot

[junior totem]

That definitely is not camouflage lol. I don’t know if any of my videos show what I’m talking about but when you ADS and see a target (AI) approximately 600 out, you see hands and a head. You may be right in thinking it’s bug but I doubt it.

Let me go see if I can find an example

[storm tiger]

this is about the PiP scope, and the fact that you see a low-LOD through it. Basically the game gives you the same LOD through the scope as if you were not using the scope, if that makes sense. Thus you can zoom in on things that look like cardboard

this is not related to AI, it’s the same with players and everything. It just looks the weirdest with soldiers. At a certain distance the LOD doesn’t display helmets, further out more things get hidden…

[thorn furnace]

OK, I get it now. Was a bit confused as to what was the issue.

[storm tiger]

on Xbox (and PC) you can make ADS look the same as the binocs by disabling 3D scopes in Settings

[junior totem]

Thank. you. SO MUCH.

[clear sparrow]

Does killing people in GM ban you? I killed a group of guys for a scene in my group in GM and it banned me

[tepid torrent]

my advice is to just play while plugged in, if you want to do on battery though you can disable some battery saving features in power settings and nvidia control panel for your GPU, but dont expect that battery to last long!

[tepid torrent]

i mentioned this a long time ago, considering the PIP is a sepereate scene render they could make much more detailed lods, maybe they try this feature later on, it would make reforgers pip scopes amazing though! distant grass/foliage would be awesome too!

[storm tiger]

there’s that 1h:20m or so video on YouTube.. interview with Enfusion engine guy, that I can’t find rn.. he’s mentioned that this specifically is an issue. The requirement was 3D scopes without framerate drop, so they made them, but did that LOD trick to make them perform well. If 3D scope would use higher LOD, they would need to quote “gather the scene twice” which sounds like it would be a costly step in the render. I guess they haven’t gotten around to solve this yet in a way where it works well.

[steep grail]

using the 3D scope already still drops fps for me lol

[zenith talon]

did you guys purpousfully fuck up 3rd player view so it is impossible to play or is there a glitch?

[chrome sphinx]

How about you explain what the issue is

Why would they fuck up the 3rd player cam on purpose? Otherwise everyone would have the same problem you apparently have

[zenith talon]

It is now zoomed in to a ridiculous extent

i would show a ss but they don't allow images

[slow pagoda]

You need to complete #✔role-selection and accept #rules

[zenith talon]

what?

[slow pagoda]

To be able to post images on channels that allow it

Troubleshooting channels should work for that

[zenith talon]

no one checks them xD

Troubleshooting channels are one of the most active ones...

no, logging in as admin only works on servers. if youre on PC i believe you can host locally and set an admin password there, then play alone with admin rights

[lethal harness]

Gotcha, I figured it was something like that. Im on xbox and wanted to play combat ops with some spicy but all good. Thanks tho!

[eager sandal]

Are there more animation planned? Like reload animation for turrets for example...

[tepid torrent]

that would be rather nice! a dedicated .50 reload animation would make boring reloads 10* more satisfying

[eager sandal]

Yeah more animations would be rather grand. I watched YT video on Six Days in Fallujah, they even have animation for opening doors

[tepid torrent]

yeah, squad has some really nice animations, i actually tried their new infantry overhaul for first time today 👌 - it just works

[shy elk]

How come the most needed mods just dont download

It loves too have a tendenacy not too work

[stray blade]

How far apart do mines need to be spaced to prevent chain blowup?

Im thinking of making long blast from Northeren airfield all the way down to st pierre.

[gleaming holly]

the video i saw that chained the explosion had them ~1m apart, id say test it to get the delay between blasts you want. if you succeed post a video lmao

[stray blade]

Ugh... 4000 mines.... i dont think my pc will handle that

[rocky hedge]

Should conflict be saving my progress or is it meant to start over every single time?

[neon meteor]

post a video Marko whatever happens

[tardy rune]

for science!!!

[polar veldt]

Mainly because they error out. I fucked up yesterday and cancelled one because it wasn't downloading. Couldn't find a way to stop the erroring and just deleted my cache. Generally if you repeatedly see errors from the same mods and can't be bothered to work around it clearing your cache is the best way. (If your on xbox)

[ornate cedar]

will a jet jet (killing the one standing behind) be implemented when fired from a proto-tank grenade launcher?

[stray blade]

You mean will back blast from launchers injure?

[tepid torrent]

i think that backblast would be a good feature, especially considering that bi put in the realistic prone launcher animations

[ornate cedar]

Yes. Back Blast.

[ornate cedar]

Backblast is a very necessary function and gives realism. I imagine how in multiplayer all players will run away from the grenade launcher)

[stray blade]

Well then you also need overpressure in closed rooms etc

[drowsy quartz]

Realism = one AI RPG soldier kills half his squad with backblast 🙃

[stray blade]

Or you know, they react the same way as they do now with honking. They move away (just inverted direction). And if one moves in the way of the back blast, such is gods will.

[whole ingot]

Is it realistically possible that we see a return of aiming deadzone to the newer arma games, or is it an underused relic of the past?

[tepid torrent]

yep, big consideration right there

[random cape]

Probably the latter or at best a disabled by default option for mouse

[quaint copper]

If Flare shells are planned for the UGLs, are Smoke shells?

[sand verge]

is arma reforger on Xbox gamepass thingy?

[quaint copper]

Not yet

[sand verge]

thanks

[tepid torrent]

good question! i really hope smoke shells come!

[azure ruin]

Question, what do the data collector disabler mods do? I’ve seen servers use it. If it helps people stop crashing, that might be useful for my server

[sand verge]

another question

nvm

[chilly briar]

Are long range missiles possible in Reforger?

[neon meteor]

should be

[chilly briar]

I'd love to see some of the things from Arma 3 get added to Reforger

[neon meteor]

Im sure as more people join more mods will be coming

[chilly briar]

Will there be proper AA in the game at some point now that official helicopters are coming?

It would make sense for there to be AA batteries to counter aircraft in Conflict

[foggy ridge]

for those transport helos an m2 or kpvt is more than enough to delete it

[crisp path]

AA batteries????? Bro can’t wait to have 18 AAA guns

[granite sandal]

This may not be in the appropriate channel, but could someone possibly push in the right direction to my question....

How do I utilise this....???

[stray blade]

Only mods can read that array by script. On its own it doesnt allow paswordless login

[shut pumice]

On its own it doesnt allow paswordless login
on 1.0.0 it already works

[granite sandal]

Okay, I'm sorry I still don't understand that. We use GTX Server can I put it somewhere in the files or Config for this to work?

[stray blade]

Ah. Was it mentioned in changes? Did i miss it?

[stray blade]

In config

[granite sandal]

Could you possibly give me an example of what & how this is supposed to look like?

[stray blade]

I cba to type it on the phone. See if wiki has a template.

[granite sandal]

It does not

That's why I came to here to ask

[stray blade]

Then someone may bless you with an example. Also #reforger_servers is more suitable

[shut pumice]

I will add it into template / example on wiki

[granite sandal]

Could you provide me a link for this so that I can see?

[shut pumice]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Config#Template
and there is also example hidden under spoiler right under Template

[granite sandal]

So would this be all that would be needed?

I've just seen my mistake.

[stray blade]

Admins array does not contain your name. Either steamid or bi id as a string

[granite sandal]

How would I get my ID?

[stray blade]

Server log

[granite sandal]

IdentityId=ab4fad53-5301-44c9-817f-20ae0bb7edab

[shut pumice]

or in case of steam ID it is part of url to your profile
identityId which is other possible value can be found in server logs or in Log In dialog

[granite sandal]

So that would be my ID? All of this.

[stray blade]

Whole shebang. Steam id is much shorter tho

[foggy ridge]

interesting so steamid is supported?

[stray blade]

Yeah.

[stray blade]

Also apparently ppl cant logout once they are in. Like dont loose admin/gm rights

[foggy ridge]

sorry dude ur admin forever

[granite sandal]

So ive put that in the config, but it still requires me to login in game.

[stray blade]

Just type #login and no pwd

[granite sandal]

Yeah I did, that didn't work.

Came up with this.

[foggy ridge]

are you trying this on stable and not experimental?

[stray blade]

Then wrong id was in array

[granite sandal]

Stable. Will this only work after next patch?

[foggy ridge]

it only work on experimental, yes

[granite sandal]

So after next patch this should work?

Okay, thanks.

At least its set for now.

[terse cloak]

how do i delete all my arma reforger mods

[stray blade]

Delete addons folder in Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger

[random cape]

No guided-weapon capability is on the roadmap, therefore No Promises™️... which isn't the same as a no

[magic pebble]

Legally, not even the roadmap is a promise. We all accepted the game as is when we bought it.

[normal swan]

Anyone know how to fix without cache clear on Xbox?

[chilly briar]

Which one do you think will come first, AI commanding or driving? I personally think commanding will come first because it's just basic move, defend, and search and destroy commands whereas driving is more complex

[tidal pendant]

Will the helicopters ever have weapons in vanilla and could guided missiles ever be implemented in the game

[half locust]

weapons yes (the meshes are already in game files), but no guided ordinance

[tidal pendant]

Ok thank you

[storm folio]

So, serveral of our players, myself includning are reporting that they right now in Arma Reforger cant see any servers or the workshop. Dont know who to adresse this to?

[stray blade]

Stable or exp?

[storm folio]

Stable -> tried to reinstall game, same issue

[stray blade]

Could be that backend crapped itself.

If you open game and press service status button, what does it show?

[stray blade]

Odd indeed. And yet nothing in workshop/server browser?

[storm folio]

Nothing -> console log...

[stray blade]

Ouch

15:17:48.714 BACKEND   (E): Http Error (TIMEOUT)
15:17:48.719 BACKEND   (E): [RestApi] ID:[5] Timeout

Some developer will have to look at this

But you arent supposed to ping them. So hopefully one will notice.

[storm folio]

Wait... It just came online???

Lag bubble??

[stray blade]

Yeah. It could be a temp issue on their end, with authorization service being down.

[raw plinth]

servers are still down tho

keep on searching permanent

[storm folio]

It took me around 12 min to get trough to servers and workshops

[random cape]

More specifically the roadmap's Air Assault milestone mentions that Machine guns will be added to helicopters that can be manned by both AI and players, while the Final Strike milestone mentions Rockets to be added for helicopters; at this time those are all that's promised

[tidal pendant]

Ok

[random cape]

This will probably mean PKB door guns and 57 mm rocket pods for the Mi-8MT, and M60D door guns and 2.75 inch/70 mm rocket pods for the UH-1H

[cerulean token]

I think the Mi8 will actually have a single KPVT in the rear, but I don't remember where I read about that.

[stray blade]

kpvt?? You sure its not pkt?

[cerulean token]

Maybe, I'm really not sure why the KPVT came to mind. But the attack variant in the files has a small back door removed, im guessing thats where the gunner will be.

[stray blade]

Ussualy gunners are where doors are. So where you enter now and that small back door. Not the ass door. Also kpvt is huge, perhaps too big for doorgun

[cerulean token]

Removed on the offensive/defensive variant

[stray blade]

Ye, that. By ass door i mean whole back opens up.

[cerulean token]

The animation for it is really sweet, it even folds up a bit

[stray blade]

Yeah i saw it ingame yesterday. Due to a bug

[neon meteor]

Can you show the animation?

[magic pebble]

I can't find my moded map at scenarios. whre can I find them?

[tidal pendant]

Have you tried recently played

[stray blade]

If it doesnt pop up there its a good sign it doesnt work correctly

[magic pebble]

that what I thought, it is also 18kb which I found weird.

[clear sparrow]

I’m trying to do a conflict map but don’t know which one to run. Any recommendations on a good modded conflict map?

[magic pebble]

when uploading a mod to workshop, does anyone knows if should I leave the version as is?

[stray blade]

i belive thats your own version of mod.
It can be whatever you want, just has to increase, i mean you can also decrease it but will create issues with workshop

so i guess 0.0.69

[magic pebble]

I added more thing to the map, and somehow the size decrease

[cerulean token]

Maybe the map isn't saved in a proper path and is just straight up ignored ? Just a guess, otherwise I don't know

[eager sandal]

I always wanted to asked this but always forgot. Why the tracers during day is yellow and red at night? Is this intended or bug?

[chilly briar]

Has Stratis been ported over to enfusion?

[quaint copper]

Not yet

[magic pebble]

Does this mean anything to anyone? The tools is giving me this errors when I save and publish my map

[magic pebble]

nvm i just lost the entire map. 15 hours down the drain.

[steep grail]

[gleaming holly]

RIP

[foggy ridge]

I've seen people mention they "lose" their project after publishing but the tools don't just wipe your files

[magic pebble]

It wiped it all. There were hundreds of entities.

[foggy ridge]

this is not enough information, are you editing your bundled project somehow? do you have some cloud sync software your project folder is in like onedrive that could have done it?

[magic pebble]

I moved all the files inside "map" into the f_layer folder, and that what did it. I opened "f" after that and they were all gone. I later took the files out, and returned them how they were, but that didn't fix it.

[foggy ridge]

ah that's interesting, since workbench expects only layer files inside layer folders I guess it tried to be smart and remove it

should report this on feedback tracker, a big error is preferable than a wipe

[foggy ridge]

you could try to recover those files with some tool like recuva as a last resort

[magic pebble]

Unfortunately doesn't work. I already published it on the workshop, you reckon I can somehow get it back from there

[foggy ridge]

you mean it doesnt detect your files?

[magic pebble]

it can't find the deleted files, like they were never there.

[foggy ridge]

you're talking about the recovery tool right?

[magic pebble]

yeah

[foggy ridge]

same with deep scan?

[magic pebble]

That didn't work too. The actual files are still there, they didn't get deleted. the entities inside were wiped.

[foggy ridge]

ah ok

there's no good way to recover a mod from a packed version I think

[gleaming holly]

I've had similar stuff happen where I'll lose source code but still have the executable for projects. That sucks man, gl

[magic pebble]

I guess I will go cry for a bit, then do the entire thing again.

[neon meteor]

@magic pebble backup next time

[stray blade]

Perhaps a good feature request would be auto backups

[fossil osprey]

It's nice to see that even tools from Bohemka are made with love 🙂

[sharp parcel]

Does anyone know why maybe my friend keeps crashing on Xbox series s. Graphics are turned down. No mods. Cleared cache. He's a new player, but I never really crash despite having basically the same setup

[topaz whale]

Note to self... remember to backup my terrain project I've been working on for 1.5 years again

[foggy ridge]

it's a bit disappointing, the software should never automatically/silently remove any user made files

[tidal pendant]

[clear sparrow]

Does anyone know what mod I need to add to have modern Russians into conflict?

For the remixed vanilla version

[thorn furnace]

RHS: Status Quo

[ancient rapids]

Tfm blufor opfor mod

Iirc Rhs uses different factions and will not auto replace the vanilla ussr faction

[clear sparrow]

I put that in and it still spawns in Soviet ai

which one, blufor opfor or rhs?

[clear sparrow]

Blufor Opfor

What’s the lore to reforger? More specifically the FIA

[quaint copper]

There isnt much

[steep grail]

screw FIA lore, I want to know what the lore is behind Male baldness. And why does Miller have a monopoly on having a head of hair?

[foggy ridge]

miller is a shapeshifter from another galaxy, you meet his friends in contact

[eager sandal]

Does crouch move with adjusted stance does not retain the adjusted stance height? Like if I am in low crouch, when I move its move like I'm on normal crouch height.
I thought earlier version you retain the adjusted stance...

[sonic prawn]

Can reforger handle multiple animation mods at the same time, or is it like dayz?

[half locust]

define animation mods

[sonic prawn]

Just mods that add new animations to the game, let's say there is a mod that adds a brand newlauncher with a unique reload animation, while another mod somehow adds a repeater rifle with a unique cycling animation, would both work at the same time?

[half locust]

Yes, they would

what doesn’t work is having 2+ mods changing the same animations. But having any number of mods that adds new animations that do not interfere is possible yes.

[sonic prawn]

Ahh okay thanks, I hoped it wa enfusion that didn't support it yet, so dayz may get that support too one day

[foggy ridge]

you cant change existing/third party animations, you can probably overwrite them through GUID collision though but then only one is active at a time

[sonic prawn]

Ah, rip 😦 Hoped they'd have simpler modding support without having to do crazy stuff like animation/behaviour modding in skyrim 😦

[foggy ridge]

you can create your own or copy animation graphs and change how the anims are used, maybe good enough?

[sonic prawn]

Yeah, I was mainly interested whatever there was any chance for it to be backported to dayz, tbf I haven't been folloing reforger for a while so I kinda hoped, well, thanks anyway 😄

[foggy ridge]

for example when working on my SMG I used the default m16 animation but cut out some frames from the reload (in anim graph) to make it faster

ah no clue about dayz sorry

[tidal pendant]

How do you make mods on arma reforger can you do it on a Xbox

[topaz whale]

You can't do it on xbox unfortunately

[tidal pendant]

How do you do it they said arma mods were cross platform

Ok

What do you need to make mods then

What is steam on

You need to get the PC version of Arma Reforger, which also grants you access to the Arma Reforger Tools

how would one make mods on a console though? game agnostic…

[half locust]

a good one what? Pc?

[tidal pendant]

Could you send me a link to a pic that can handle arma

[half locust]

in pc world you don’t really buy pre-built pcs..:

[foggy ridge]

sure you do, but it usually is better to ask the company building them to make you one that is at least twice as good as the recommended specs on the steam page

[magic pebble]

My friend paid ~20% more on the exact same specs as me because he got some company to build it for him, instead of doing it himself.

[foggy ridge]

for some people that's worth it, don't see any issue here

but you're right, usually cheaper to diy

[stray blade]

Some ppl are mortally afraid of connecting cables and screwing couple of screws.
Just like some are afraid of spiders.
So they pay 20% more

[shut cosmos]

puts the blame on someone else when it goes wrong too 😂

[magic pebble]

First PC I ever built, I worked an extra job for three months to buy it, and I burnt the motherboard and the cpu because I didn't do it right. Sinec then I built two PCs.

[topaz whale]

You could probably make the world editor work on console

[half locust]

the current one in reforger?

[topaz whale]

The only problem would be making a satmap I think. You would probably need a keyboard and mouse though.

My "unfortunately" was more directed at him though than me having the expectation that you could mod on Xbox

[vestal topaz]

Any one knows a 1-2 gb modded server on reforger and eu serv?

what about blufor opfor mod?

reskin?

[junior totem]

Basically just Russians in different gear. RHS has it with the faction

Yea excuse my ignorance.

how i switch from 39 to 35 in comms

[uneven oriole]

trying to start my DS and the server continues to abruptly shutdown, I continue to get this error

Can't compile "Game" script module!

Anyone know how to not screw it up?

[foggy ridge]

Well it would appear the mod you are trying to use no worky

[uneven oriole]

I deleted the mod from addons and config.json, but the backend continues to download the said mod. how do i flush it out?

[indigo crater]

Servers down?

[chilly briar]

How do you get friendly AI to spawn in conflict?

[eager sandal]

you build living quarters

[chilly briar]

@eager sandal thanks. I downloaded a mod that lets you ask AI to follow you and I'm testing it in conflict

[eager sandal]

The mod creator probably know more then

[neon meteor]

Did the Soviets have parachute illuminating grenades for AK 74 GL?

[brisk lark]

I think that is part of RiverX modern sights pack, and it hasn't been updated for the changes in later releases. I'm afraid the only thing you can do is remove the mod

[uneven oriole]

That's what I was able to accomplish after removing the mod completely. Appreciate it

[sacred mesa]

For the devs... Do you have future plans to integrate controls with flight peripherals into the Xbox game version??? I have a hotas-one and using helicopter (or mod planes) with joystick, rudder and throttle would be a major plus on console
I want to remind you that the possibility exists as Flight simulator on Xbox allows the simultaneous use of pad, keyboard & mouse and dedicated flight peripheral

[pliant plinth]

Adding to this, I think controller binding is a must now that we have helicopters ❤️

[sand verge]

Is arma reforger worth it

[neon meteor]

yes

[tepid torrent]

👆

[cerulean token]

It can be a ton of fun. 👍

Your mileage may vary. If you are mainly a single player coming from Arma 3, you may be a bit disappointed. But I recommend it nonetheless. Because I am an armaholic.

Is there any civilain ai mod?

[foggy steppe]

Last weekend I played a mission where you had to steal honey from bees.
Someone was in the role of a bear, and someone was a beekeeper.
In the end, Bigfoot won.

Can anyone tell me what kind of server this was?

[zenith talon]

A bearable server

[stray blade]

Perhaps check recently played servers? Maybe it will remind you

[honest spruce]

Will the workshop be wiped when the game comes out of early access? Only ask bc there’s a lot of mods that aren’t updated and probably don’t even work anymore. Think a fresh start could be good and don’t think it’s a big deal for modders to republish at release but not totally sure

[ancient rapids]

what about the mods that are no longer maintained that still work, you dont ever want to see those again?

[honest spruce]

I guess that depends on how many break when it goes to 1.0

[chilly briar]

Will you be able to command AI in combat ops and conflict while playing in singleplayer?

[ancient rapids]

You're talking about a full workshop wipe, so even mods that still work would be gone if the authors are not around to re upload them. Imho a workshop wipe is a bad idea.

[foggy steppe]

There is a Main Operation Base(MOB) is not first in the spawn point list
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T171228

[sand verge]

Is there anyway to keybind?

[chrome sphinx]

[sand verge]

That's a oof thanks for letting me know

[chilly briar]

When AI commanding comes, will they be available in conflict to command? I'm thinking you start off with a small team and then slowly build them up as you capture more territories

The more you rank up, the more AI you can command

[random cape]

The roadmap doesn't say; however, over three months ago this text was added to the Field Manual: #reforger_discussion message

As of back then the commands were broadly in line with the 2022 roadmap's Move, follow, search and destroy, get in, while the 2023 roadmap only mentions basic commands

[stray blade]

basically what you see in GM

[random cape]

With the exceptions of GM's Forced move, Move relaxed, and Defend

[indigo raven]

let me guess, you still can't copy the world? (Just want to add some changes into arland conflict map)

need to recreate it manually?

nvm i just select all entities and copy/paste them

[eager sandal]

The BTR is all-wheel drive right? Or is it rear-wheel drive?

[signal spruce]

https://youtu.be/YDBNnva5bcc?si=WkDObUw-Qe76ypND

[terse cloak]

for some reason reverse is the best gear on it up hill

[stray blade]

Another feature retained from the BTR-60 was the twin-engine arrangement, although in the GAZ-50 torque produced by the right engine powered the first and third wheel stations, while the left engine powered the second and fourth

Gaz 50 is btr 70 btw

[eager sandal]

Yeah. that is certainly weird... was wondering if IRL counterpart is rear-wheeled or all-wheeled drive?

[stray blade]

All wheel as written above

[eager sandal]

For being an all-wheeled, in certainly is bad driving uphill. Or is it like that IRL... I am certainly no expert in cars and engines and stuffs

oh btw, I am using all-assist for driving. Maybe if using no assist (manual) driving is better?

[terse cloak]

its a pain in the ass to drive btr without assist, i do it always but you gotta change gears so much on it

[stray blade]

Its still an 12 t beast with 240 hp engines so yeah they are relatively underpowered

[eager sandal]

Roger.... stay off hillside when in BTR. clear it with infantry first when moving uphill. Like that road from Durras to pennants pass

[stray blade]

If u have solid gunner you can keep moving. You gonna go slow, but makes gunners job easier

[stray blade]

First comment "when will AI drive" xD

[terse cloak]

The second one is 'she def a mommy though'

[magic pebble]

The rest are misogyny. Gamers

[stray blade]

Yeah...

[tidal pendant]

I was playing with someone earlier on experimental I forgot there user dude was very nice

[slow pagoda]

steam server list can show people you recently played with

[signal spruce]

Ease them in with kindness, then start pulling daggers.

Or in this case, AT-4s.

[minor acorn]

that is not an AT-4

[signal spruce]

Obviously, but I said it anyway.

[eager sandal]

Everyone knows every shouldered weapon are called bazookas

[still canyon]

I thought it was called an RPG

[eager sandal]

RPG is one with the projectile outside the tube 😅

[still canyon]

[signal spruce]

Marshmellow cannons.

[minor acorn]

actually this one is an RPG

specifically the RPG Nh 75

[still canyon]

I know

I thought it was an RPG-26, looks kinda similar

[minor acorn]

This one I am pretty sure is the 75, since Czechoslovak army didn't use 26

[still canyon]

But I now see the narrowing of the launcher behind her neck

[stray blade]

Its a recoiless gun!

[stray blade]

Also in video description it says Natalia

(Unless she has 2 names)

[signal spruce]

Two names. She goes by Natasha.

[stray blade]

Ah, gotcha

[terse cloak]

Marko, check the end of the rfi, Its me swimming

in the air

Swim reforger

[stray blade]

Yeah i saw it xD

[chrome sphinx]

Damn kinda suprissed that they got more people on reforger than arma 4 lol don't know why I thought it was the opposite

[terse cloak]

arma 4 isnt playable? and arma 3 has more than reforger

[stray blade]

Reforger + engine -> arma4

[terse cloak]

Oh devs

[chrome sphinx]

Kinda true yeah, can't wait for the reforger roadmap to be finished so they can work with more power on A4

This was by far the best q-a video yet imo

[tepid nova]

Does anyone know if Reforger will ever go sale?

[stray blade]

Not until release at least. And nothing promised after that either

[tepid nova]

In that case is Reforger worth buying if I just want to mess around solo? Are there solo scenarios or anything like that or is it almost entirely mp focused still?

[stray blade]

Its mostly mp oriented. You can mess around solo but not nearly as much as you can in a2/3.
On top of that, except tutorial, no sp missons/campaigns.

[tepid nova]

I guess I will continue watching from afar then

[stray blade]

Watch away 🙂

[topaz whale]

That would be my advice well unless you're also interested in learning how to mod it (and are a PC player)

[random cape]

What they said; the roadmap promises more assets and gameplay features but the only nods to SP are for the GM (ability to save and to load a saved state locally or on a server where you have Game Master rights, and to pause/unpause the game during GM mode)

[quaint cargo]

Is there any specific reason we have not seen game-modes created from the community? Outside of Armalife and Day Z the only one that comes to mind was the C&H BI mod. My brain would like to see that ass proof of concept. But if I had to guess I’m assuming the issue comes from the same limitation that stops us from saving progress and scenarios (ATM)

Srry if that comes across as “entitled”. Being as I don’t have a PC atm to tinker and learn for myself, I often try and find answers or ideas from those within the community who might have first hand knowledge, rather than continuing to use my renown speculation skills.

[random cape]

Besides the usual chicken-and-egg reasons that go into not nearly as many people playing for Reforger as for Arma 3... scenario making is supposed to be done through Workbench (Arma Reforger Tools) and thus is currently PC-exclusive

[eager sandal]

Before, I just wanted to wait for Arma 4 because Reforger is MP oriented. Then I got impatient because Reforger looks so pretty and new so I bought it anyway... I didn't regret it, just that I didn't play it as much as A3... So yeah... if you can be patient go ahead. If not, stay away. Don't even watch youtube videos about it. Because you'll get tempted... like me 🤣

[fallen valley]

Any mods that add modern weapons and equipment to the Soviet that works for conflict? Not looking for a total all in one overhaul like RHS because it’s limited to just the two new factions and their arsenals

[idle fractal]

I just got Arma reforrger and when i put even 1 mod on it takes me back the the menu how do i fix it

[digital crane]

that mod might be broken, does it kick you when that mod is disabled?

[topaz ibex]

how 2 fix, ive already verified integrity of game files

[quaint copper]

Bad mod

[chilly briar]

Do you think AI commanding will come after helicopters have been added?

There's already a command radial in experimental. I don't think it's that far away tbh

[foggy ridge]

looks like one of your mods may not be updated to the latest version, I know I've fixed that bug a few weeks ago

[random cape]

atm the command radial is there for modder purposes... not expecting the AI commanding to be soon though

[gloomy locust]

Is anyone having issues with the night vision not working?

[narrow frost]

is the searchlight on the uh-1h heli controllable at all?

[quaint copper]

No

[winged finch]

Has the next update release been announced?

[gleaming holly]

Not as far as i know, November 12th will be 1 month since 1.0 released on experimental so that would be the absolute earliest it could come to stable. There hasnt been any confirmation from BI either way

[winged finch]

Ah okay

[tidal pendant]

How do you use the living quarters now

[quaint copper]

You don't, they disabled the AI spawning on them

They're literally useless right now except to increase the base capture time, which needs only 1

[tidal pendant]

Ok

[tidal pendant]

So no qi

[honest gyro]

Will we ever get functional crewed weapons?, aka Machinegunner assistant being able to load ammo for you while you are aiming your gun on a stable platform, Mortar crews being able to set up boxes of ammo and loading ammo for the person aiming the mortar or even the larger piece of artillery.

This was something accomplished somewhat in arma 3 with Ace interactions and such but i would love to have it able to be done in arma 4/reforger, this is something me and many people who like to use crewed weapons desire as it makes the weapons easier to use and more fun to use when you an a buddy can work together to use the weapon to its full effectiveness.

[gleaming holly]

81/82mm mortars are on the roadmap but i dont know if BI has stated exactly how they will work. I assume that a crew of at least a gunner and loader would be used

[brittle herald]

[steep grail]

Look I love the Arma 3 soundtrack but if Arma 4 comes out and its more This is War Remixes 💀

[brittle herald]

@steep grail have u heard this one? its fucking mental good ngl

[lament coral]

ive tried everything and cannot fix it. verify cache, mods updated etc and nothing

[whole ingot]

have they fixed friendly nametags disappearing?
its very hard to determine which person is a russian, and which is an american wearing russian kit who is spawn camping us all

[stray blade]

They still dissapear sometimes

[grand estuary]

Posting this question from Steam

Updating mods on a dedicated server
I run a small dedicated server (windows) for our local group of players and we use lots of mods.
My question is when or how do the mods get updated ? Doesn't seem to update on startup. If i delete the addon folder then it downloads it again on startup, but thats a bad way since I dont know what mods need updating
Any help would be appreciated.
Spin

[topaz nexus]

Will reforger remain in early access when 1.0 hits or is everything past air assault post-release content?

[chrome sphinx]

No official answer yet

[zinc sun]

will the lav 25 have he shells and tow missiles?

[topaz nexus]

It's an LAV not a bradley

[zinc sun]

the lav 25 has both of thos ethings

actually im not 100% certain on the tow but they do have he shells

[topaz nexus]

Are you thinking of the LAV-AT?

Because the base LAV-25 only has the bushmaster.

[zinc sun]

yea got it confused with the other one but iirc it still has he shells

aint it the literal exact same gun as on the bradley

[topaz nexus]

Yeah

[zinc sun]

i think for balancing reasons it probably would be bvetter not to give it he shells unless the soviets get something similiar but i doubt bohemia cares about balancing in a arma game lol

[maiden forge]

Nsv will chew it up anyway

[topaz nexus]

You have a weapon that could actually knock out the LAV and you choose to name the one that can't

[raven niche]

getting the error "cant compile 'game' script module! scripts/Game/ASVAL_MagazineWell9by39.c(1): unknown type ' '

[terse cloak]

NSV where tho? its not gonna be in cars so who is just gonna spawn a random nsv emplacemnt to kill a lav-25, if the crew dont spot somebody doing that then they deserve dying

[vestal sinew]

simply get the 14.5 conversion kit for your AK74

[stray blade]

You mean https://en.topwar.ru/15629-eksperimentalnyy-pulemet-6p62-kalibra-127-mm.html ?

(not 14.5 but 12.7, close enough)

[vestal sinew]

damn, joke ruined :(

too many big russian guns to keep track of

[stray blade]

Bad mod.

[maiden forge]

It’s 12.7 while LAV stops up to 7.62 I believe

[mellow cosmos]

Good question, what is the reason why console mod download speed is bottlenecked at 10mb or less?

[pastel compass]

When I drop a vehicle from the prefabs folder into my level, it won't move. It starts up, makes sounds, and driver animations seem to work, but the vehicle just doesn't move. I've seen other people encountered the same problem, but nobody ever posted a solution.

[topaz whale]

Is it on a custom terrain? If so, make sure the terrain entity has the terrain option checked

[ancient rapids]

ask microsoft

[errant ledge]

What's the keybind for on PC?

[stray blade]

press ~ to open commaning menu and its the only option form there. (exp)

[gaunt latch]

What is the command role gonna consist of? Is it gonna be like HLL or Squad where you can call in airstrikes? I was reading that it wont have a physical role in the game world, more of a map view but that was all the roadmap said. Anymore intel on the feature?

[quaint copper]

You can pick what base friendlies cam fast travel to, you can tell squads of AI where to go, and you can tell AI to run logistics to some places instead of having players do it

[gaunt latch]

That is it?

[quaint copper]

Those are the only immediately discernable features, yes
There may be more but its not really meant to be an all poweful thing
Moreso just another role to fill to help the team

[vestal sinew]

Does anybody know if there is a system for swapping from HE to HEDP grenades? Thought about it because if they plan on adding flare rounds there should be a way to switch ammo type, i've never looked into it

[quaint copper]

There is none yet unfortunately

[vestal sinew]

damn that sucks

[magic pebble]

Set the HE and HEDP to the quick bar, then you can use it to change between the two.

[vestal sinew]

dayz style, but yeah thats works well enough

[rancid jolt]

@half locust Hey man so I just got reforger on my laptop for the soul purpose of playing around in the workshop and learning how to make mods. Is there a channel in here that is for like new modders that are learning?

[half locust]

the entire sub-section (category as per discord naming) entitled enfusion modification

[rancid jolt]

thanks bro

[winged finch]

I heard a rumor that the update comes out this Thursday? Is that true?

[slow pagoda]

chances are 50/50

also that same rumor circulates every week

[winged finch]

Oh okay

[slow pagoda]

official info is always announced at #announcements

[thorn furnace]

I'd say chances are 100%; they are not going to purge the mods as announced and then leave the game without update or mods for a week.

[astral viper]

Is the M1 pot getting removed?

[pastel compass]

You saved me again! thank you

[austere nimbus]

They're purging mods which haven't been updated with the latest (current?) version of the Workbench, so even if the 1.0 release is "delayed" by 1-2 weeks it won't matter much.
That said; it helps to make mods 1.0 compatible when the game/workbench is up-to-date as well.

To be fair; it's a big thing to just mark everything incompatible, even when mods still work, but based on the previous updates (and bad support by the average "modder") it's a good thing to clean up the workshop and have less people complaining their game/server crashes.
Just be prepared for all the people asking where there favorite mod has gone 🤣

[tepid torrent]

no, maybe, but it will come back

[winter mist]

nah the lav25 gen III has the tows

[ember path]

Is there a way to hold breath planned for the future

[stray blade]

Thats a good question

[honest spruce]

Which graphics settings have the largest impact on performance?

[thorn furnace]

Resolution & object draw distance are two big ones. But its varies a lot. Best play around with them on your system, because different settings have different impact depending on your specs.

[grizzled kettle]

Anyone have any idea on if the game moving to 1.0 means it will soon be releasing on ps5??

[stray blade]

No. It doesnt mean anything. Its planned but no further info about when.

[quartz lance]

I've tested them today and to me it was:
Contact Shadows
Ambient Occlusion
Environment Quality
Screen Space Reflections

Guess "Post AA" and "Hardware AA" can be very demanding as well.
I never use them cuz they make things look very blurry.

[still fjord]

@foggy ridge question about your Persistent Loadouts mod. Does it work well on a 64 player conflict server or is it intended for smaller servers with lower population?

[grizzled kettle]

Dang, been wanting to play for such a long time now. Hoping an official launch means they’ll start prepping for a PS release

[foggy ridge]

I don't see how the player count is relevant

[still fjord]

Ok. So if say 200+ players have a saved loadout on our server would it affect performance at all?

[foggy ridge]

don't think so

I know servers that have 10000+ saved loadouts and they don't care

[still fjord]

Ok thank you

[foggy ridge]

all saved loadouts are not kept in memory so it shouldn't be noticeably different from without it

[gleaming holly]

Yeah each loadout is like a handful of kb at most on the server disk, unless you have 1m+ its not going to take up any noticeable space

[foggy ridge]

11805 loadouts 470 MB

bigger than I expected but still a nothingburger

they are anywhere between 8k and 96k from what I'm seeing, still they are not all loaded into RAM so it doesnt matter, might be a bit slower if your server has a lot of traffic and is running on a medieval hard drive but then you'd run into performace problems way before loadouts started to matter
