[grim dawn]

Even if it were client/squad only, anything but that terrible line drawing tool

[hardy light]

Hi guys, simple question. Are you able to play co-op and recruit AI? I can't, as soon as someone enters the game the radial menu no longer appears. PS, this happens in missions downloaded from the workshop.

thx

[stable topaz]

Works if you make a GM scenario from scratch. Could be that those missions are now outdated compared to 1.2.

[south smelt]

Is the AI not able to fly helicopters?

[slow pagoda]

no

[south smelt]

Ah, thought I was doing something wrong

[lilac narwhal]

If I remember correctly, DayZ is built on both early Enfusion and Real Virtuality, Enfusion being used most notably for rendering and animations.

[rotund sphinx]

Does anyone know how to get Zimanetra (sorry if spelled wrong) to work on GM for server owners?

[serene bridge]

Hey everyone, I have been playing MP on official and community servers, but each server I am having insane desync and rubberbanding. Then I am often getting kicked for Group 1 Replication and Reason 6 Stalled. The game is totally unplayable. Any ideas? Every other online game I have works fine, and the four friends I've been trying to play with aren't having any issues. Im wired on ethernet, and have no connection issues in Arma 3 either.

also my ping in the status report is like 400 but the servers im connecting to are < 60. Maybe im having high ping to bohemia specifically and thats why?

[thorn furnace]

You know, people would just use it to draw dicks on the map, right?

[grim dawn]

yeah....

probably the first thing i'd do before actually using it

If it were client-side only or squad only though it'd be at least a bit bearable. With a squad-scope you can at least lock your squad

[drifting frost]

Where is the keybind for toggling third person in control settings? I cannot find it, trying to change it

[trim patio]

is there a way to stop reforger from downloading all my addons to my onedrive it has installed 5gb to it and I just want it on my PC locally

[austere nimbus]

1. disable/uninstall OneDrive (it's bad... hijacked MyDocuments is evil)
2. add a parameter to the command line to set a different directory: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#addonDownloadDir

[carmine cove]

@austere nimbus I wish there is an easy way to gid rid of OneDrive without screwing your OS

[austere nimbus]

Just uninstall, nothing complicated about it and won't mess up your PC at all (it solves a lot of issues)

[trim patio]

how would you go about disabling it?

nvm I found it

[odd ridge]

what are some things I can do to fight AI from a distance? I'm asking this question because I was snipping from a far away forested area and was then beamed by what I think was a bot in a BTR-80 gunner seat

[terse cloak]

ai dont go to btrs

[slow pagoda]

dont stay in same place

[odd ridge]

this was when I was moving through a forested area after firing a shot or two, would that still factor in?

[twilit junco]

really ? yestarday in gm i made ai to get inside btr and they were reacting with enemy (driving away, shooting)

[terse cloak]

they dont get in naturally is what i meant

[twilit junco]

oh, you mean when you spawn ai close to mg nest they get into mg automatically ?

[terse cloak]

somebody has to place a btr and then place the ai into it, however they wanna do it

[twilit junco]

oh, i see now i read the whole discussion about, i get it

[gusty fossil]

anyone know why the Bacon Editor is gone?

[slow pagoda]

yes

[gusty fossil]

can I know why?

[warm herald]

Do you guys think the servers on reforger are any good? And are they easy to find, i found arma 3s system sorta messy.

[terse cloak]

no

[urban slate]

Would it be better flying the chopper with a controller vs mouse and keyboard ??

[slow pagoda]

Any control system you learn to use works

[stable topaz]

Mouse and keyboard is fine for Reforger helos, given the current flight model

[molten moat]

Will there be joystick support?

[snow fossil]

Can AI fly helicopters?

[terse cloak]

No

[karmic plume]

Does anyone know what the new update added in the hood 7 gigabytes is a lot

[signal spruce]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/update-july-3-2024

[keen fog]

Is anyone on console able to move the map cursor with your right joystick?

I currently have not been able to find a fix

[velvet pine]

I lost my Windows , can I somehow restore my mods files?

[slow pagoda]

What does lost your windows mean exactly?

[velvet pine]

files and the windows operating system

[slow pagoda]

did you need new harddrive?

[velvet pine]

I was wondering if I could restore my mod files

[slow pagoda]

unlikely

if they were on the same drive they are gone with new install doing format

you could try disk data retrieval sofware and try to scrape it back

but its not guaratneed to work

[scenic solstice]

Is it just me that this variant of the PASGT Helmet isn't on the game?

[terse cloak]

its in the tools

[warm herald]

What would you guys say is the best ukrainian forces mod? I havent seen any yet that has accurate uniforms and equipment

[tepid torrent]

it will come eventually, it is in game files

[exotic marsh]

None to my knowledge, the ones that did exist are dead or broken

[weary oasis]

What is this error? It's the second time that I get it

[timid seal]

Yo Marek, brother not hitting you sly but it couldn't be that complex to import a version of Eden Editor 2D, or 3D, I would take either - yes the new tools allow modeling, mapping, and a whole new possibilities.

But realistically it's globaballyrecognised that it was Eden that allowed truelycomplex missions, on all angles - even an intro movie I could direct the camera to follow it through gunfire, switching cameras to the inside troops, or along distance you could have an intro preparing the RUS soliders board, drive in a convoy to a pooint far away.

While you and your multiplayer team, geared up, preparred their convoy, or FIA resistance trucks preparing an ambush on all armor to takethe weapons carreid to the next mission. They could have skill adjustments, whether a heli was in air or not and active or not lol.

Side note: wheres the classic satchels, I could be blind and thier named something wildly diifferent but they were so extensive in everything. The editor could take in .sqf scripts which I spent years learning get scrapped and it's sad.

Thediversity of missions were incredible too, even creating modes that later became games from your own players, I know Unknown from long ago, someone made that in the editor and it is not one of the THEE main game types. Whatever was popular 20 year ago, will be popular now, it applies to it all.

M.A.G.A (Make ArmA Great Again) lol - keep the new tools, but the pc generationt hat built your game dont REALLY play Reforger for this reason, I get a 3D editor is easier for Console players, but lets be real - we know its the PC community that creates the most advanced complex with scripts missions.

Xbox players wil love what would be produced. It juts feels like theres massive missing hole in the remake of Operation Flashing / ArmA: Cold War Crisis
OFP would not have been what it was at all without Eden Editor.

Bring it back please ❤️ I know me n many would be importing missions by the masses. Shi- i'm trying to use EOS to create a recreation of a multi-game/mission that people wont expect, throwing it back to Nogville Days.

AND WILL sorry caps, Malden, Kolgujev and most importantly Nogova, if this becomes a reality I will work on remakingNogovaVirus haha.

But Nogova has years of memories n diversity, Troska didnt die for noting. And where the hell Is James bro, its 4 years on, he cna take a trip to everon as a civilian or his classic outfit, black ninja with the MP5's clean sweep.

I Dunno if it in the plans, but anyway
brother.

Addressed - To Marek, can someone tell him who was the community mannager back then too, I'd a game with him or a view, great guy. Would be nice to say hello!

Aight' Peace!

GIMME-EDEN-OR-GIMME-A HELI CAGHT IN TELEPHONE WIRES.

Peace have a good day, and wonderful wekkend, tag me if theres a response. Much love & respect ❤️

P.S GUBA CAN GET FUC- etc etc heh

Love the soundtrack being back, from OFP at least. Assuming couldnt get the licences for Seventh's tracks. Still listen to them to today and can see the black hawks flying in formation lol.

(And give Troska the immortalised statue he deserves. AND AFTER 20 DAM N YEARS, WHO WAS THE TAZMANIAN DEVIL lol)

[austere nimbus]

... but it couldn't be that complex to import a version of Eden Editor 2D, or 3D ...
Yeah, copy and past something from a completely different game engine, written in a completely different language shouldn't be that hard, right?

OFP would not have been what it was at all without Eden Editor.
Keep in mind that 3den was only added in Arma 3, and not even at launch!
Yes the 2D editor (albeit it pain to work with) is part of the Arma series, but only because it was part of the RV Engine since it didn't had any external tools to build stuff.

The Workbench can do the same, if not more, than 3den (or the old 2D editor), it's just not part of the game itself and only available on PC (for obvious reasons).

BI has already said they are planning an in-game mission editor (also available to consoles) for Arma 4, but will still be limited compared to the Workbench.

PS. if you really think it's easy to implement 3den in Reforger, you now have the tools to do it yourself; the Workbench 😉

[azure meteor]

1. Which BTR-70 version is the one in reforger?
2. was it reall that vulnerable to .308 fire in real life?

[stable topaz]

Rule of thumb is that it takes 0.5" / 12mm steel plate to stop a 7.62mm round. BTR hull armour is only 10mm thick.

[azure meteor]

was it intentional to keep the btr-70 this lightly armored? Is there a gain like higher mobility because of that?

[stable topaz]

I guess it's cheaper! Mostly it'll be driven by doctrine, I can only assume the BTR wasn't expected to fight at the sharp end and was intended as more of an armed battle taxi.
Hopefully someone with more Soviet knowledge will chime in, it's an interesting question.

[celest granite]

its either a btr70 1978 (inintial production) and most dont apper to have shooting ports for passagers d
a btr70 1982 (new engine)
or a btr 1984 (wide view shight for gunner on top) but so far the this is not show in game (might be for some semblance of balance but most likely its waiting for priscope funtions to be added to the game)

[azure meteor]

I think the game should not balance, it should replicate the real thing then let players balance their tactics

[celest granite]

balance in a game were one team can have 30 players on one side in a server that has a max of 48?

[azure meteor]

I think players will autobalance it themselves by joining teams that have fewer players to have an exciting mathc

The game should be a simulator of equipment. Any balance should be done by supply cost of items

[celest granite]

thats the only autobalance the game has and its not there most of the time

[stable topaz]

Reforger does a good job of sticking to realistic values and capabilities

[terse cloak]

Bmp 1-2 also has pretty bad armor compared to bradley

[past kayak]

Granted ive spent less than 10 minutes in WB but are you sure youd say it can do everything the OFP editor could do and more? I mean we had 1000 SP missions built in the 1st year with that editor with everything from small scale CQB to massive scale warfare made quite easily with that editor. the only thing it was missing was the 3d editor aspect which made placing objects in exact positions a nightmare

[azure meteor]

I hope it will remain like that. so many things in the game are fun because they consistnetly kept things realistic

[hard tartan]

What’s the best server provider right now for Arma Reforger?

[drifting frost]

Is there a thread for the guy who makes the WZ turrets mod?

[azure meteor]

question for soviet weapon experts: Would an NSV have been man portable? Like one guy carrying the gun, the other the tripod?

[lucid tulip]

But that's flat if you consider angling that increases armor effectiveness.

[stable topaz]

Good point

[vivid mantle]

Not for long distances.
Remember the ammo is also extremely heavy

[river kiln]

What is the name of the app on steam that lets you mod for Arma

[terse cloak]

arma reforger tools

[river kiln]

Ty

[river kiln]

Are you able to run that on Mac?

[austere nimbus]

No, Windows only

[bitter warren]

Does anyone know how to access the RHS content in the arsenal?

[verbal mesa]

Activate just RHS mod, start game master and spawn Russian and American arsenal

[bitter warren]

I tried that but theres only the default items in the arsenal

[verbal mesa]

Sure RHS is activated?

Disable other mods also

[bitter warren]

yeah, its the one called RHS - Status Quo right?

[verbal mesa]

yea and i think there is an RHS game master mod too

that you would need

[bitter warren]

ohh okay think i found it

[timid seal]

It's not comparable in the slightest for mission editing, and you can put a wrapper on an engine part and make it work, most ports are this - if they're planning a mission editor it's design basis is going to be 2D editing, 3D if you want to play the scenario out - but 2D is extremely faster, more efficent by what you can do in 3 minutes vs what you could with a 3D purist editor or workbench. Workbench atm isnt even designed for these things, it's a modelling and mapping tool and it's good at it.

Marek brother, don't fix what ain't broken. Imo making it for the console is a mute point, fine do it - but seperate it from the scripting, optionable access that was Eden, Xbox players don't be writing sqf type code (theres no reason that language cant be used again btw) - it's known the same was modellers and mappers know the similarties in the new tools.

For BI, this aint hard. And the offical tutorial videos show zero editing, I felt bad for the lad you had do it. They are accutely aware of this issue.

It's just imo and many of the original community that a mission editor is what made Flashpoint / CWC the success it was. Aside miltary contracts which pay well, VBS etc.

The money seems to have been put into these newer tools, and I understand BI isnt a large team, but got a contingent group do a 'clean sweep' and bring the editor to the game earlier. The diversity of game-modes, the movies, the scripting, the diversity that comes from this is far greater that very awkward and clanky models using very basis resources a MI-17 into an apache, Jets have no base model not even a Cessna. And the tank addons? Hitboxes are broken, tank strength isnt what it should be, servers with M1 Abhrams should dominate against T72's, the T80's were the equal model, and they dont have inside features.

All i'm saying is with a simple mission editor and scripting system which we know is gonna be similar to SQF if not it already, this would of provided more PC players a larger playerbase, far more diversity in mission styles, on going-campaigns not reliant on gamemaster but could have it.

The length of entertainment value with the return to your roots as you yourself put it, would stretch far greater a shadow and buy time for the work bench to have resources prepared as assets, and better design options including interiors - then release the workbench and others would be capable of more finessed and finished addons, instead of constant re-downloading the same things with minor tweaks that make little difference.

Marek lad, do us a solid and bring it home ❤️

[feral hinge]

No. @bitter warren you need to place the respective RHS arsenals to access the RHS equipment.

[grim iris]

With regards to the workshop, is there a way to filter what has recently been updated? Rather then going through each mod and looking at versions/dates.

[azure meteor]

I see it another way

It's just imo and many of the original community that a mission editor is what made Flashpoint / CWC the success it was. Aside miltary contracts which pay well, VBS etc. ```

All previous arma games were too dependant on a mission editor to keep people playing. Arma never had a real gamemode that was fun out of the box. With reforger it is different. I only play conflict and do not care about AI or a mission editor. Because bohemia went for quality in everything over quantity. I am having morefun driving an UAZ in reforger than I had doing anything in previous arma games.

[timid seal]

Flashpoint tho, literally created KOTH, Battle Royale, Life Servers (I still have the map files fs lol) serial killer, as welll as easily a thousand individual missions and campaigns multiplayer included due to scripting. Conflict is MFCTI, ELAN is Altis or as far back as 2001 Crime City / Nogville (WAY better). Nogova Virus Series (Zombies SQF)

I wouldn't say reliant no it, when youre given a tool that allows ultimate freedom.

All the island get remade, all the 20 year old best gameforms get remade and improved now.

Workbench is a tool crafted with Bohemia for the work on Modelling and Mapping instead of the tools the community made back in the day.

They can likely make Eden in a short time and SQF or similar.

Everything that is in Reforger now, comes from players mission editing, these are just official version.

I wish Conflict had MFCTI's abilty to wall off the base, have ai defences or land sea air etc.

Theyll all come back, anything that was a success before breathes life forward, it's in our nature to enjoy it as we havent evolved that much in two decades.

And is a return to the roots as Marek said, Eden is the roots. I'll die on this sword. I mission edited, made movies both in generla and for introductions, custom music, masks, theres a reason fallujah got remade so quick and so like its oldl predecessor.

Btw fucking CREDIT TO THAT MAN, to make that with these tools in that detail and navmesh? Bro, you are OFP/CWC's energy ❤️

Just to add to that, with how long it takes someone to get soliders onboard a transport truck, then to drive it at around 10 waypoints, disembark and hold fire while using stealth mode of crawling to another oversight position, some of thatsn ot even possible btw in the 3D editor. I could do in literally 3 minutes.

There's a big gap in effiency of tool, and a 3D mission editor will never be able to keep up with a mouse and a 2D Map with free access to all the status's and a.i awareness.

NOW for testing and adding aesthetics to the map or surprises, 3D is great - it's better at niche things, 2D Eden is better as the Operation / Mission - once thats finished then 3D can dig in and make some of the best looking maps along with the best working ones.

[past kayak]

Well you see it that was as you are obviously a primarily MP player. All OFP games since the beginning had an outstanding Campaign built in for the SP. now that priority has colpletely 180'ed so that they make official Game types for MP which seem to be what you're talking about. As far as the Editor -they've stated before that creating such a robust editor is like making a whole other game, its what me and im sure alot of other old school SP players are sorely waiting on so we can create our own missions again

[elder ore]

The new "editor" is great if you can code, you can make anything with it. With work bench you can go as far as making your own game if you have the team to do it. One of the problems is how deep they integrated that awful conflict mode. Its like everything is tied to it. Ideally the content would be free for other game mode or type uses. Another problem is the a.i. isn't there yet and to be fair they shouldn't have included a.i. in this release. A.i. was a huge thing in OFP and if this one isn't there yet they should have kept it PVP only. An yway you can still play around in editor mode after setting a few things up. PS: Are you Froggysluv btw? If so I remember you.

[past kayak]

I can code spaghetti code -that being -100,000 of sqf that probably could have been done in 500. Thanks for the detailed answer -sounds like WB has some horseP but wasnt geared for either AI nor SP missions -which really makes it substandard as far as players like myself our concerned. 10 minutes in an OFP editor and i can create a fully fleshed out SP mission with recon, patrol, vehicle pickups and dropoffs, cutscene (ok 30min for this) and custom dialogue with proper mission briefings and endings and all sorts of possible variables of AI response.

and yes, you got me its froggyluv -thought all of my AI complaining here whatve gave it away 😄

[verbal mesa]

Ey, conflict is awesome 😉

Also I disagree with your statement about AI entirely, the AI is fun. Far from perfect but a lot of fun. Infact I think they're better than A3 AI in a lot of ways

AI has to be part of an Arma game.

[tame flame]

Is there any fix for rdb_mistmach

other than deleting all the mods

[terse cloak]

no

you dont have to delete all mods but just the ones that are used by that server

[tame flame]

Oh ok

[past kayak]

I dont doubt that they will be better. They had to basically tear down the old scheme as there was too many limitation ie. animation blending, shooting while moving, and alot else. What we're talking about is in the context of the editor -i havent seen 1 real SP mission that could even compare with a basic OFP (Find the car exempt) as the infrstructure for that sort of waypoint/trigger command and advanced AI waypoints dont exist. Again, i could be talkin outta my a$$ as I dont play Reforger but I keep tabs on everything here

[tawny seal]

So I am having this issue on my dedi server,
RplConnection::ValidationError remote script source code checksum does not match! local=0x6DE45A3DE8F6A637 remote=0xB25A500CD47BC81B
Had it with mods, and as vanilla. Any solutions?

both server and client are up to date on mods and version

[verbal mesa]

No Reforger doesn't offer much for SP. That is lacking for sure. It is definitely only focused on MP. Reforger has come a very long way however.

[tawny seal]

already have tried full reinstall of mods on both ends. Vanilla Reforger is also currently doing the same

[past kayak]

So that begs the question -how exactly is the WorkBench superior to Arma's editor then?

[verbal mesa]

Workbench for mod creation is so much better than DayZ for example. I never took it up for Arma 3.

Just nobody has created so stuff that is adequate. There is a lot of unjust hate for Reforger from the A3 community that probably only tried it when it first came out

[plain turret]

When are mods gonna get fixed

[terse cloak]

whenever they wanna fix them

[plain turret]

So never then

Useless

[terse cloak]

what do you expect

[verbal mesa]

Lmfao

[plain turret]

I expected they fix their game seeing as their update broke their own game making it borderline unplayable and every server having to revoke all mods from servers just to play them and go back to vanilla stuff

[verbal mesa]

Are you paying them cloudy?

[plain turret]

If I paid them I’d fire them

[verbal mesa]

Modders are community members who do not get paid for any of the work.

[terse cloak]

who cannot be, i think they can get donations tho

[foggy ridge]

There are several new bugs introduced in 1.2 that affect my mods that I have no control over. Unfortunately all I can do is wait for hotfixes.

[verbal mesa]

Vanilla is the only thing you can complain about

[plain turret]

🗿

[verbal mesa]

😘

[past kayak]

Well if we're comparing to the Arma editor -that would only include mission making as thats what the editor is for. Mod creating is outside of the editor.

[verbal mesa]

Well workbench is not simply an editor but a development software

[past kayak]

Ugh..cmon man stop with the semantics. The discussion was the Arma 3 editor all the way back to the OFP editor -they are meant for ONE thing. Mods encompass a huge variety of other things whether it be scripting AI mods, model creation etc...but none of that has anything to do with arma's editor

To say "simply an editor'" is pretty ridculous statement

[tame flame]

Is there any fix for the bug which makes you stuck in vehicles? Besides respawning

[verbal mesa]

Have someone open and close the door

[verbal mesa]

Take the lid off, simmer down bud

[past kayak]

Well you did just jump in a discussion comparing editor with WB and I hope you can see they are like comparing apples and potatoes but to just flippantly state “the WB is so much more ..” is patently false

[verbal mesa]

Reread and reassess, take an ice bath and have a simmer pal

Cheers

[twilit mirage]

Are the view ports in the btr usable? Like I'm sitting in the commander seat so can I see it the vehicle?

[terse cloak]

No

[twilit mirage]

[snow fossil]

Hey whats next on the chopping block? Destructible buildings?!

[celest granite]

handheld flares and suppressors are most likely with a middling possibility of mortars but also a small chance of AP mines

[snow fossil]

You think this will be final update? Or will they go with like 2 or 3

1.2 was pretty big update

[celest granite]

look at road map

they might also add more to it depending on their time frame

[desert pike]

Anyone know if there is a mod that lets barbed wire do damage?

[ancient rapids]

Hopefully more bug fixes or we're all going to be in trouble!

[elder ore]

The way things are going adding destructible buildings, ap mines that will be placed by the hundreds and a spam weapon system should be seriously reconsidered. Everyone is always super excited about these things until they come out, (like the explosives, who cares now?). Mortars are terrible for gameplay. Recoiless rifles were used by both sides by light infantry and would be a better addition. The LAV, BRDM and crew gear are alright but above everything stability and bug fixing are what Reforger needs the most. We have the hardware and bandwidth, the game and server just needs to use it.

[fallen valley]

Anyone know ow the range on the M112 demo packs when connected to a detonator?

[chrome sphinx]

You have no idea how these additions will be added and you already call for them to reconsider it?

[terse cloak]

100m i think

[elder ore]

Yep 💯 !

[timid seal]

They exist, just less of them causeist ryna be consolefriendly, fuck that shit they aintm aking anything special, let pc modders do what pc modders do and consoles can just play the shit, its what theyre sued to, they not gona suddenly wanna tkae 6 hours making transport hhappen

like theyll get in and no one be the driverstht was 4-5-6 or 4-5 on the old system as a radico command

cant beliveve they have got the radiocommand system

defined all commands in 3D with a number system and point n clickm that in reforger, fucken diasseter lol

I compeltely forgot how much I used numbers to do full commands and control teh entire batttlefield, dwont to targettnig specfic targets

now we living in a era wher 3d editor takes longer to loadaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood, one cant get in a driver unless you target the fucking door

1-4-load allll and by defaulto ne wouldd rive

drive* its actually fucking hilarious how much thats fuckingBROKEN because console buttons

naw offence but xbox aint gonna be comanding shit, it didnt work on xbox cwc back in the day, this new system isnt gonn a work. your commanders are all PC gaming gods, get it ROUND YE'S!

Speed, Timing ,Efifiency - Xbox boys, you gte one job, followed yourleaer and kill the enemy

SEMPER FI, the real military has a command system and a combat system for a reason, not case the devs want to tplay with physics that make sense unless your enemy is shoot oblt lever rifls lol

[foggy ridge]

Vote you Wildman of the Discord/ Protector of the Helm

[fickle relic]

I almost had an aneurysm trying to read that.

[terse cloak]

Metanauta

[languid leaf]

Did vehicle mods and similar mods break after the update? I see some servers using RHS, but it seems like most of the mods are non-functional right now. Am I missing something important?

[gleaming holly]

Yes. Due to the way the door open/close system works, among other changes, almost all modded vehicles are broken until the authors update them

Afaik RHS vehicles are now fully functional

[gusty fossil]

Does anyone know what happened to the Fallout 2280 server?

[languid leaf]

is that the core mod or dev mod of RHS?

I tried the core, but I could not see any RHS assets at all.

[quartz lance]

This is pretty much why i never really use A.I. commanding.
So much moving and fiddling arount with stuff.
I don't see how they will improve this with the limited functionality of a controller.
It simply doesn't work or it work's somehow but it's no fun to use at all.
In general i feel like console is influencing Reforger for the worse.
It simply overcomplicate's thing's because you alway's have to keep console limitation's in mind and kind of orientate at the lower ( console ) end where you would instead have gone full blast on PC.
3D editor for console no clue how this should work...
I can tell from my own modding experiance making stuff somewhat work on PC & console take's a lot more time and thinking.
Developing a full game based on multiple system's must be a nightmare and probably contributing to many of the delay's/problem's.

[gleaming holly]

Core, and what gamemode did you try in? I have no issues spawning rhs vehicles or using their arsenal in game master

[languid leaf]

Does it matter which game mode I use for RHS? if so, that makes sense

[azure meteor]

I would not agree.

Ap mines wont be placed everywhere because it would take work to place them, and thne have the patience to place them in locations where someone may or may not get close in an hour or 4 hours from now.

Most players never know whether their bullets or mines or grenades every do damage.

Reforger MUST be protected from attempts to make it like Squad where stuff is balanced and realism is washed out.

Also mortars wont ruin gameplay, players will just learn to duck from mortars.

Players learn to adapt to new dangers in videogames. Reforger is a game where a single shot can take out a player at 300 meters, and not only does it work it even works on consoles. And I think a lot of people would think that hardcore realism would never work on consoles because everyone plays cod

[foggy ridge]

I agree with the mine take, the only reason they are used in game master is the GM can place 10 mines in 2 seconds in an area people are heading into

[azure meteor]

in conflict mines are useful however it takes a lot of patience to place them and you dont get any short time gratification from it or none at all because you may never know if someone drove on it

[tepid torrent]

mortars will be amazing, players will need to create a MOB that is well hidden and protected, it will require the use of camo nets and hopefully some heavier entrenchment compositions to hide it from enemies in the sky, players will also need to be sneaky about how they deal with transport in and out of the base while also c=keeping on top of light emission that could give the position away

[verbal mesa]

They're good to setup at ambush points for when the vehicles tries to swerve out of direct fire

[ornate notch]

Is there a way to make it so that people from 500 meters away dont lose their clothing?

Cuz from a distance people start losing detail and it just looks kinda ugly

[snow fossil]

Like you see them naked?

[ornate notch]

yeah...

sometimes even on ultra, and it gets annoying since i sometimes get into engagements at 400-700 meters away

[snow fossil]

That does not happen to me. Maybe mods issue? Server settings?

[ornate notch]

I just changed all my settings to max just to see if it happens

[ornate notch]

range is 500 or more and its on ultra

So correction: its 700 meters exactly and that seems to be the distance that people start to loser their hats. Which for a game with a cold war settings is pretty good. But its an Arma game. We already had apaches modded in and we have things like the T-14 armata being added as mods. So if i in vanilla start noticing this then theres no doubt that a stryker with 30x zoom will too.

[snow fossil]

Oh hats! I see. Well idk maybe model is too small to appear to save performance? I thought people were losing uniforms 😂

[ornate notch]

At longer distances they are 😔

In 2024 i expect that i can see the eye lashes on a character from 20 klicks away

[snow fossil]

😂 good one

[ornate notch]

lol

[snow fossil]

Might be LOD problem. Actually I dont think A3 had this problem.

[ornate notch]

it didnt, but arma 3 also had the A-10 so i dont think the game wouldve made it if characters lost clothing at 700 meters and completely disapeared at 2000

this is 1700m away from me.
Theres supposed to be a russian squad there next to the truck but i cant see it. Hopefully this gets fixed by the time mortars get added as i dont want to imagine my mortars hitting russians but actually see it

[grim dawn]

one of my favorite testing points is the hill near morton. You could easily aim a sniper rifle from there to provins cap point, but nothing will render in, aside from trucks

[ornate notch]

One day, one day we'll see the eye lashes of our enemies through our scopes from 2000 meters away

[grim dawn]

I hope with mortars it at least becomes a bit more noticeable that things do not render in. I'm unsure what the effective range of a mortar is off the top of my head, but I hope more care is put into spotting targets at major distances

esp when its within the game's max render distance, and not a modded render distance

[ornate notch]

fr

[ornate notch]

And the range on the L16 81mm mortar which is the most likely to be added has a range of up to 5.5km

So being able to see targets HALF that distance would be nice

[snow fossil]

Is there some sort of program/utility that recommends me the best graphical settings for my rig?

[timid seal]

I'll take it !

[timid seal]

The game itself shoukd/can autotune

[timid seal]

Or because single player and campaign to continue flashpoint exists it, fuck graphics, put them alll lowest everything, youll spot targets much easier as less foilage to hide and they much more jagged

[timid seal]

need a squad just outside anemey bsae and lne them down theroad together, but far enough thyey dont aoe explode, ive done i twith friends jus tsit and watch n lagh

after 2 t2 they might tink 3rd but they never expect 4th and 5th

or a squad wit 6 rpgs 5 svd mags and a drugunov with pso sight

agagain just sit and wait

[timid seal]

When a mission editor is released, MFCTI will return - where conflict ccame from but its vastly superior because base bilding, ai squad commanding etc base defenses. conflict on steroids class flashpoint

[timid seal]

Finally someone els gets te problem, they want those xbo sales bad, bit how many are gonna buy an xbox keyboard and be able to have directories for scrpts and typng them. Xbox controller is slowing down features conisderably and what theyve tried to put in not long ago does shit like al and rn , no driver move command, they all get out and rn , no driver. A.I were way smarter at basic shit in 2001 lol

Itlll create a divide, of PC only servers tat have way more addons that the xbox can hold + itts games, then Xbo servers wit less

[spark hound]

You can buy any mouse and keyboard or use any you own on Xbox

[timid seal]

ths isnt hating, its just facts

[spark hound]

Xbox isn't that limited

[timid seal]

but the majority wont mod in the way pc players do

its drastically lmited to what a pc can drop in addons, iv e friend who constnatly deletetheir stuff to join another

[spark hound]

Massive mod lists kill performance

[timid seal]

not on pc since 2001

look it not about box players

its te hardware limitation is so vast

[spark hound]

I've got no time for this, Xbox is here to stay, that's that.

[timid seal]

didnt say t wasnt but their will be pc only serverswhen the mission editor is released

people dont get this nless they grew p with ofpand arma 1-2-3, they think its an attack o xbox communiity nah its hardware, likea smaller server

[snow fossil]

Are Flashpoint campaign or missions available in Reforger? I would love that. I loved to play that in A3

[timid seal]

Sadly not, hopefully one ay we get a continuation as its 4 years on fay theyre gonna go agad spposedly the lore say theyre gonna go again, so we mgiht see James gastovski true friend of Victor Troska (s a statue t ohim)ld be supreme bu it better have a statue t ohim)wjen mission editor ampaign I know people will begin working on the campaign

I'll b working on my EverLife server and bringing SerialKiller gamemode back

[past kayak]

Theres nothing even close to a simple OFP mission sadly

[gleaming holly]

Is your keyboard missing keys or are you just typing at Mach 90

[twilit mirage]

Yes

[woeful hazel]

How much bigger is Reforger to Arma 3? I run fine on Arma 3 as long as I don't spawn too many AIs n stuff. but Reforger? My computer hates it

[foggy ridge]

reforger is just more graphics

[woeful hazel]

Aye that i'm fully aware

[foggy ridge]

kinda similar experience to a3 on launch at the time, NOW computers can run a3 better

[woeful hazel]

Could it just be I need a better graphics card lol

[terse cloak]

whats ur gpu

[woeful hazel]

So they're working on making it run better?

Erm, how do I check again I forgot the way to it lol

[terse cloak]

task manager

[woeful hazel]

It's not letting me take a screenshot but it says Intel(R) HD Grapics 630 and it says GPU Memory on the bottom 0.5/8.0 GB

[foggy ridge]

ah integrated graphics, that makes sense

[woeful hazel]

What does that mean?

[terse cloak]

that the gpu is apart of the cpu

[woeful hazel]

Lol sorry I'm not fully knowledged on how computer systems work

[foggy ridge]

long story short your integrated graphics is below the minimum system requirements to run the game

[woeful hazel]

I see

Does it meet the requirements for Arma 3 atleast?

Probably means I'll have to stop playing Arma all together til I get a improved Graphics card

[foggy ridge]

it is close to below the minimum requirements so I wouldnt recommend it

it might work but not well

actually it might be a bit better than the minimum arma 3 system requirements

[woeful hazel]

Which means I can technically still play arma 3

I only get issues with arma if I add too many AI and the gunfight gets too intense and laggy

[timid seal]

Mack 90 for real, I can do a typing test but I FIRE it out and fix it later, if someone cant understand somoething I pet them on the head and tell them their obsservational skills are incredible >_>

[ancient rapids]

youre right on par with many professionally published articles these days, I swear literally nobody ever spellchecks anymore.

[river dagger]

Idk why this is so hard to figure out. lol. What is the point of Ambulances or Repair Trucks? Is it purely for RP orrrr? Afaik you do not need a repair truck to do repairs, nor do you need a med vic to med, so. What's the big idea.

For instance, wouldn't it be more beneficial to both roles to simply drive around in a supply truck or jeep?

[verbal mesa]

Medic van allows players to heal faster inside them, repair truck allows you to repair vehicles to full from anywhere especially useful for helicopters

Basically a repair truck is a mobile maintenance point that can be used anywhere

The medical system is still being fleshed out tbh, the last patch made injuries last a lot longer which I do like. If travelling in convoys as an army, these vehicles can actually be useful

[verbal mesa]

Same here brotherman, I proofread nothing. Don't need that shit in my kife

[river dagger]

So you cannot repair vehicles to 100% without a repair truck or maintenance point?

[verbal mesa]

Without a maintenance point designated for that specific vehicle type

[river dagger]

Thanks for the answer. And unfortunately, you cannot carry wounded so they will have to take their own asses to the amberlapms : u

[verbal mesa]

LOL. I really hope that carrying is an eventual feature in vanilla

So for helicopters they have to return to a helipad, it also costs supplies

You can do minor repairs in the field but nothing major

[river dagger]

Well, I really like vanilla and I want it to work, but I just don't see a lobby of vanilla randoms coordinated enough to actually use these to their potential (or at all).

[verbal mesa]

I use repair trucks often and I do use ambulances too in convoy with people I play with. Truthfully everybody wants those experiences, it just takes someone to step up and take leadership most times

And I only play vanilla nowadays

There are some great mods out there however

So many different ways to play Arma as well. Many different game modes, all kind..

[river dagger]

Idk if it is just me, but it does lead into another (silly) question I had. Over the past two or three weeks I have noticed the toxicity in the official servers shooting through the roof. Does Bohemia have any plans at all to moderate their official servers? I can't go a day without n word f slur arguing in my games.

(I used to work for Bohemia I have thousands of hours in Arma / DayZ. I'm just new to reforger specifically)

[verbal mesa]

Just don't feed them, idiots are everywhere.

I have thousands of hours in both too, mostly DayZ, 4000 I think

Now I only play Reforger

[river dagger]

Sure, and I know server stability / performance is probably way higher on the list of priorities (as it should be.) but when the majority act like that it's giving me thousand yard stare.

[verbal mesa]

Yea it's times like those that you just have to change the station from platoon or turn the radio off

[river dagger]

Not to mention, people sitting around in MOB arguing and playing dressup while tk'ing. I can't imagine all of those giant backpacks full of 87 grenades are helping server performance.

[verbal mesa]

That's not as big a deal for server performance like it was in dayz

Right now there is a memory leak issue

[river dagger]

Interesting. I'm gonna keep adding positivity and teamwork where I can. : ) )

The main mode is sick, like a more streamlined Squad or somethin. I want it to be good.

[verbal mesa]

It is very fun, Reforger is all about the immersive moments

If you ever see me in game, I'd be glad to show you around

I help new players often

[river dagger]

New idea: lock armory teirs behind ranks. perhaps even roles like pilot or SL.

I think I have the general gist? But we should totally team up some time. Like you said those random immergent moments have been top teir.

[verbal mesa]

One of the beauties of Reforger is the freedom to do anything you want. I think an argument could be made for locking certain weapons and items behind ranks though.

Reforger feels a lot like DayZ but cleaned up, condensed and quicker. But like DayZ you find those moments that give you that feeling. Reforger has that effect as well just more frequently

Supplies and logistic runs are very important, essentially the backbone of the team. If you enjoy driving it's a fun thing to do when playing alone and helps everyone a lot. It's fun also because anything can happen.

[river dagger]

Yeah that's what makes it suck more when everyone is spawning with 300 supply kits and they're gone by the time you get back lol

[verbal mesa]

Supply convoys or escorted supply convoys are great fun too

[twilit mirage]

If I'm on Xbox and do one of those game master things can my buddies join?

[terse cloak]

No u can use all types of repair points, for example u can use a light vehicle depot for a heli

And repair truck too, but one main thing is that you cant fix glass

[sand verge]

The teamkilling, votekicking and stuff will be reduced a little bit, but for the slurs no.
Xbox players can get banned for saying offensive stuff tho, so the best thing you can do is to clip it, and send it to xbox. But if they play on pc there is no moderation.

[timid seal]

0dAYZ TESTEDed enfusion, then they brought it to reforger to test workbench and 3D Editors. Well be in true freedin terrutiry when an 2D map editor like all the oldrer games had is put it, players will crush conflict with MFCTI and more

[tepid torrent]

A good portion of the people who ruin the game are on pc, there have been a bunch on AP-SY servers, everyone who used to enjoy nightly games on the server are fed up with them.

[half locust]

on A3 official servers you get automatically battleye banned for stuff like that. It takes about 30 days but the chat is checked which leads to bans. would love the same system in reforger

[strong badge]

My friend cant join my pc hosted server (i have port forwarding), anybody knows how to fix that?

[sand verge]

How can i advertise my arma milsim in this server?

[azure meteor]

or people could also ignore it and keep the atmosphere friendly

I don't like any content moderation hwen it comes to chat. It poisons the atmosphere of a game and leads t opeople not trusting each other to speak freely.

Also what is offensive can vary vastly between countries. So the best option is to not ban any speech. And simply give players mute function so they can permanently mute another player from their side. This is the least invasive way.

content moderation only invites people who are already wanting to control other peoples speech to get offended on purpose.

And then people will just retreat to their own discords and use that to team chat and it wil lfragement the voip that is used ingame.

Trying to social engineer peoples behaviour will always backfire and cause hate.

[brittle agate]

There are 4 messages pinned in xbox

Why isnt my vehicle moving?
was literally working a second ago but now its just paralyzed??
I didnt do anything but get out grab the jerry can out of back refuel a heli then put it back in then get back in the truck and now it doesnt work??

(video for refference)

(brought a different truck and it works fine so idk what happened )

[chilly briar]

How do you become a commander in solo conflict?

[river dagger]

Fair enuf.

[terse cloak]

What???? Thats not a thing

[tepid torrent]

yet...

[tepid torrent]

while there is no official implementation as commander you can take it upon yourself to attemp to give your team advice as to which objectives they should target, unccordinated teams that are beginning to lose the initiative will most likely begin to listen with someone with experience, good communication skills, and a valid plan. the longer you assumecommand of a smaller band of players the more you will run into others that will be willing to join your coodinated team

[terse cloak]

”Solo conflict”

[tepid torrent]

yeah majority of people stick to this, but sometimes you can get them to join your squad especially if your transport and firepower is superior

in saying that though as far as firepower goes the whole arsenal is available to even renegades

[terse cloak]

He means its just him in the lobby

Solo…

[tepid torrent]

oh lmao

I missed the solo part, sorry but your out of luck. best bet is game master

[ancient rapids]

Be squad lead and spawn ai from the living quarters

[west jasper]

Is there a way to make it so your cursor in GM doesn’t snap to objects when it’s near them on Xbox?

[paper island]

Hey quick question; is there any info out there about tobii eye tracker support for head tracking in reforger?

I've done some quick googling but all that comes up is people asking and nobody having an answer

[finite rune]

Does anyone know how come I can’t put any aircraft mods in GM? I enabled it in workshop but it’s not showing up in GM

[eager ermine]

Is anyone having issues spawning more than ~40 AI in a multiplayer GM server

[wintry comet]

Does temp ban duration not reset?

Got kicked for being a game master on a GAME MASTER SERVER and the temp ban duration got increased

[terse cloak]

no

[plucky prairie]

is there anyway to stealt the AI they seem to have esp up to about 1km

[wintry comet]

what's the highest value then?

I guess having fun and not getting kicked on game master servers is something impossible

[wispy hinge]

Does anyone know if I can use free view with Alt and stay pointed at the last position when I release the Alt key? instead of going back to the first view before looking away.

[fallen valley]

Anyone else having stuff disappear from their loadouts mid game? Harness and shirts specifically all my ammo/grenades or whatever else just vanishes

[rose dragon]

I’m having an issue where my ping is 300-400 but the game plays fine. However audio is super choppy over coms?

Anyone else having this? I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, my connection is good 500 down, 50 up, restart, etc. it’s persisted for days now

[verbal mesa]

Sounds like an internet issue

[elder ore]

What should the M16 Carbine be renamed as? Colt commando would be a no go. CAR-15 maybe but military designation should be XM-177? I'm inclined with CAR-15. WDYT?

[woeful junco]

its not any of those... its a colt model 7xx its not a commando or a car15

[west jasper]

Anyone know a way to increase FPS on Xbox?

[exotic marsh]

If you mean past 60, nope. We're locked to 60 FPS at max to my knowledge

[serene bridge]

723?

[lost moon]

Run 0 mods

[west jasper]

Hahaha

[elder ore]

Asking for military designation. 629, 653, etc were manufacturer designations? The mil called them XM177E1 then E2. Any gun nuts around?

[tepid torrent]

off topic, try to refrain from political talk in here 👍

[molten moat]

When joystick support?

[terse cloak]

Prolly m16a2 carbine

[tepid torrent]

there are so many species of AR

comparable to fungus where you learn about a new one almost every week 😆

[grand nova]

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered I couldn't find it anywhere.

I know we can currently use X360 Controller Emulator to get a Joystick/HOTAS working in ARMA Reforger but are we always going to be stuck with this method or are there plans to include native support within the game for Joysticks/HOTAS?

I get Reforger is basically a lily pad between ARMA3 and ARMA4 but its not clear to me how far BI plans to "flush it out". In addition does BI plan to have ARMA Reforger support collective on helicopters in an analogue? Keyboard and mouse like collective as a digital input simply isn't feasible.

[desert pike]

How do you make prefabs for composition?

[lucid tulip]

the closest car15 model it resembles is a colt model 727. although even then its handguard is too fat and should be slimmer ( almost m4 thick)

some speculation going around that 3d modelers took shortcuts and merely shortened down M16 to a car length barrel. Especially with the grenadier model. since it has the same style heatshield ( but more compact) as the M16 when grenadier carbines within SOF units at the time used the circular handguards

[snow fossil]

Hey is there/is it possible to create mission like this? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=251589760 its an endless mission that makes you either combat pilot or taxi pilot. I would love to do taxi in car even.

[elder ore]

Thanks. I'm under the same impression regarding the heatshields. There's versions in the game without the heatshields for both, but I'll have to see if the appropriate barrel accepts the 203 so it looks how it should (doubtful) anyway its a CAR15 to me.

[lament kite]

How do I change ammo type? I change it by inspecting the weapon but after reload it doesnt keep the selected ammo.

[junior garnet]

+1 on this. Do we have any rough ETA on HOTAS support? As a flight'a'holic, the game isn't appealing at all until it is added... even with the cool standard helis/modded ones..

[native cliff]

Hello I had a question can I use my flight sim equipment for flying like a a10 thunderbolt cause I know that’s a mod available and is it available on Xbox

In like the workshop

[slow pagoda]

its not super advanced flight model

so dont expect it to be flightsim like

[native cliff]

Yeah is it available on Xbox

[slow pagoda]

the mod can be used on xbox yes. flight sim equipment Id say does not have much if any support

you have to remember there are no vanilla planes in the game

so the modded plane is heavily modded

[native cliff]

Okay I was just going to like do it to have realism so it’s available in the workshop menu

[strong frigate]

Anyone know how to change the mod destination folder for Reforger? I want to try modded servers but it autodownloads to a drive thats full.

[strong frigate]

I tried that and it did not work

[magic pebble]

you must've missed a letter or something. write it exactly as is

[tawny seal]

no need for the ArmaReforgerSteam.exe

works without it

[digital crane]

how can i download an unlisted mod on pc without joining a password locked server?

[foggy ridge]

there is probably an easier way but I have scripts to start a server, then it just downloads the mods

[flint dragon]

Hello, me and my buddies are experiencing frequent client crashes on our server due to an error named STALLED. Any advice on what could this mean?

( we have mods like RHS, KUNAR, MODDED WEAPONS AND MODDED VEHICLES.
Running a total of 6GB of mods)

[foggy ridge]

stalled usually means cursed items

[flint dragon]

So you mean like prefabs that are sort of broken?

Could disabling them help in any sort?

[foggy ridge]

just remove the mods they come from

[flint dragon]

Okidoki...but how do I figure out which items are cursed?

I tried reading the logs but im not very usted with this stuff

[autumn dust]

turn off all mods, and start turning them on one by one

until you start getting the stalls again

start with biggest like RHS and Kunar

[foggy ridge]

I did give you the specific error to look for though so you can just use Search in Page or file in your app

[desert pike]

If I load into a server and try to load a save file is it supposed to take an incredible amount of time to load?

[serene bridge]

I get the stalled error even on official servers. Game experience/ desync and lag has nothing to do with mods, ive had terrible desync on official servers, but fine gameplay on modded, and vice versa. When it works, this game is a blast, but half the time I'm not even sure its honest PVP because of the lag/hitreg issues.

Is there any plans or anything in the works to fix the desync/hitreg problems that we have ongoing?

It makes the game unplayable some days. When I would love to enjoy playing reforger.

[verbal mesa]

Male sure you are in a local server but I also hear that the European servers are having issues

I play on US-NY and it's been good

[serene bridge]

I play on local servers too. US-NY as well

[verbal mesa]

I've not had a great deal of issues

Bugs yea, but not server desync or stalls

Not a lot anyways

[hard tartan]

Question… we are running 2 servers; one we have modded pretty heavily and the other one is just the bare minimum. On the modded server we can get everyone in fine and mess around but if we start anything like PVE/PVP events it tends to dashboard/homescreen everyone. Is this a mod issue or Arma issues?

[serene bridge]

Anyone else have a bug where you no longer have notifications. A few days ago randomly i stopped getting notifications about happenings around the map (the yellow letters in the top center of the screen when a point is capped or lost etc.) and when im on a point i no longer see progress bars for capture. I tried turning notifications on/off and that didnt fix it. This is also several restarts in over several days still the same problem

[chilly briar]

How do you set up AI patrols in game master?

I'm also wondering if I can set up convoys

I'm working on a Russian civil war scenario.

[stray gyro]

Do mods not work in some of the default scenarios, like combat ops?

Because I had a mod enabled that is supposed to show your location on the map, but it didn't seem to work

[narrow laurel]

@stray gyro it works on combat ops extended I have been using few mods in that one

[snow fossil]

Check mod description or dependencies. Or use different combat ops meant to work with mods (like RHS)

[gloomy wharf]

How do you attach things to a weapon in a unit prefab in the enfusion editor?

[tepid torrent]

#enfusion_generic if you want quick response from the professionals

[chilly briar]

Will there be AI convoys in conflict? I like having AI commanding for singleplayer, but I hope to see stuff like patrols from both forces and possibly enemy convoys which can be ambushed

[azure meteor]

I think conflict is the most fun without any AI.

It is a long standing fantasy of many arma players to be the commander of large amounts of AI, howveer I feel it is not as fun as people would imagine it. And I think it would be more fun to ambush actual player convoys.

Because then then it feels more real, the convoy is driven by players who want to drive it somewhere, and the attackers invested time to setup the ambush. Just having AI as practice targets to "fill" the map with action would feel fake.

[terse cloak]

Its more fun with ai

[azure meteor]

for me it never feels as real as hunting a real player

[chilly briar]

There's also people who just want to play by themselves, or if their internet goes out. Plenty of reasons to justify playing with AI and having fun

[terse cloak]

Ai slow solo players, without ai solo players steamroll bases

Without ai took a few guys like 40 min to win the game

[chilly briar]

I just lost almost my entire squad trying to capture the military training compound on arland 💀

[sick aurora]

Guys i need some help with reforger. Every time i join a server i'll get kicked after 2 minutes. i get the error "BATTLEYE", reason=1 Client not responding.
Do someone know how to fix this?

[celest granite]

battle eye is the anti cheat, so if you are not using any cheat then either some one is stopping it from working or you have a corrupted file or somethink

[sick aurora]

I dont use any cheats. This error is just in reforger

[celest granite]

so you prolly have a rogue file in your game installed files

[sick aurora]

i already reinstalled the game multiple times, verify the files in stem and much more things

[celest granite]

then you prolly have a system stopping it from working

[storm mantle]

anyone else having this issue. I play arma 3 usually but this is strange

[foggy ridge]

every update lol

[storm mantle]

i have since restarted my pc and downloaded an update to my steam so uh

[terse cloak]

well its not updated to the current oner

[storm mantle]

it may just take a little bit for the game to update for the second time today lol

[terse cloak]

the update hasnt arrived yet on steam

[storm mantle]

oh i figured

is there a release time?

[foggy ridge]

release is NOW

[storm mantle]

thanks.

[storm mantle]

typed it before he said "the update hasnt arrived on steam yet" so its kind of out of context

[foggy ridge]

steam is a bit behind on updates, give it an hour

[terse cloak]

not yet on xbox

[storm mantle]

alright. Happens to most games on a cross platform basis

[magic pebble]

use a vpn. it's the only known solution for this issue.

Hence my question, do i have to remove all non updated mods again? or as long as its past 1.2 it should be good?

[foggy ridge]

its minor

Known, fixed internally. Next update

[dusty yew]

When's the next update?

[wary sonnet]

Want to experiment a bit and trying to get the scenario id from an addon.
I got a server, config and everything, even mods seem to work. Now I need to load a scenario from an addon, but I do not know how to get it.
According to the wiki https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#listScenarios is to be used, but you can't specify a scenario to be loaded, for example in a config.

Well, I need to load the mods, so it can show me the available scenarios.
So I am down to running (I am on Linux btw) ./ArmaReforgerServer -listScenarios -addons XXX where XXX is the GUID of the addon

However, in the output, I only see the official scenarios and not the ones from the mod

[viral sable]

how do i fix my vehicle hud it disappeared

[terse cloak]

wait for the next update

[viral sable]

bruh

[night pier]

How do I get permission

To post my milsim?

[sand verge]

So, I'm currently on console and I've been having a major issue. I have tried to download the ChernarusReforged mod 4 times and it keeps glitching and premenantly stalling around 72-78%. I have a surplus of free space on my device and I shouldn't be using the full Arma Reforger cache as I clear it bi-weekly. I've had this issue before but never this many times, which sucks since it takes me about 20 minutes to get to 70%. Is anybody else having this problem? With any mod

And for the record, I do have wolf's buildings mod enabled too. So no clue

[languid lodge]

See the pinned messages of those channels #communities_arma3 or #communities_xbox

[slender birch]

Hey! So I am trying to spawn in a UH60 in Game Master but when I do, it just disappears

[vital solstice]

most likely a broken UH60 MOD try another one

[slender birch]

It's the Redline one, so if a vehicle doesn't spawn means it is broken?

[vital solstice]

pretty much just consider yourself lucky that its not hard crashing your server @slender birch

[quiet sky]

any devs know if the night being to bright after the 1.0 update will ever be fixed? i have yet to see the devs even acknowledge it as an issue

[verbal mesa]

In 1.1 they made it a lot darker again

This recent hotfix did some changes to the lighting but I haven't seen it yet

[cerulean token]

I think the weird brightness when looking out of windows, especially with scopes was fixed

[verbal mesa]

Ooo really nice

[quiet sky]

its still the same for me

[dim quiver]

ok this is probably the stupidest question ill ever ask but does anyone have an idea where this screenshot was taken on the map

[quiet sky]

do u have a higher rez version? kinda hard to see details in this photo

[dim quiver]

highest res i could find

anyway this is what i wanted to do with that info, i attempted with some random other location and i thought this looked nice. want to get your opinions

also i know its a little dark it looked brighter on my xbox

[tepid torrent]

pretty sure it is the hill overlooking a dirt road either NW of tower entre deux, or just north of pinewood lake pub

[pastel hare]

It must be Everon or Arland

[tepid torrent]

that narrows it down... a bit 😆

[pastel hare]

indeed, dude

[slender birch]

How would one share a preset in reforger?

[cerulean token]

Are the other still missing unconscious animations making it into the next update ? Pleeease. 😅

[ancient rapids]

You mean there's more than what was already added?

[cerulean token]

There has always been more, but they keep being forgot about. There's variations for lying on your sides and on your belly.

[ancient rapids]

I saw a bunch added in 1.2

Don't tell me they took them back out

I don't think it was ever in the changelogs but I saw them in game for sure

[verbal mesa]

They are in workbench but not the main game 😅

They're actually pretty cool, based on how you ragdolled

[tepid torrent]

I once within the tools was thrown into one of these animations, so I think they are extremely bugged

I was crawling and blew up something in front of me, I went uncon but didn't flip over, instead the character remained on his belly, it looked really convincing! Only happened once though

[ancient rapids]

maybe I spend a little too much time in workbench... LOL

[foggy ridge]

Workbench is my gameplay

[elder ore]

Yes, haven't been able to leave it in a long time, and I won't be leaving any time soon. I want to but I can't 🙁 .

[stuck cradle]

will some new content in 1.2.1

or other updates who will release before 1.3

[pastel hare]

true, dude

[chilly briar]

How can you command AI in combat ops everon?

[grand nova]

Joystick / HOTAS support native support in Reforger?

[radiant kite]

Any word if there will be chinooks or Blackhawk’s, maybe even the apache?

[tepid torrent]

out of the question for reforger, but definitely a topic for discussion for A4

[radiant kite]

I forgot about that roadmap.

[tepid torrent]

yep, devs have been shooting the features down one by one, update by update

crazy remembering how little momentum there was a year and a half ago

[radiant kite]

Im hyped for the lav and motors but I’m really interested in seeing how the player built bases and the electrical systems will work out.

[tepid torrent]

they left the best for last i guess

[radiant kite]

Yeah, I guess so

[high jolt]

why when im just about to load into a game my game just crashes to steam and doesnt give me a error code or anything

[brave marten]

How to create an Everton server in Arma Reforger

[zinc tapir]

Is it normal that US' M1025 is vulnerable to small arms fire?

Even something like 5.56 caliber butters thru it

[half locust]

yes

and the reason for m1114 development (small arms protection base) and m1151 further down the line

[lucid tulip]

It should be even more vulnerable. Be happy it's over performing in game ( a mere 3/4 of an inch thick front ballistic windsheid can somehow stop 556) relative to irl would be even more thin skinned

[simple sierra]

is there a #beclient players equivalent in Reforger to see player UUIDs from battleye

[steel yew]

anyone know how to access AI command on xbox?

[gleaming holly]

Be group leader, Lb+View (select)

[hallow slate]

Cobra and other attack helicopter add-ons cannot be summoned or viewed in the game master window. Is there a way or is it not working right now?

[winged fractal]

Tanks too, lots of mods aren't working but still can be loaded but don't appear/crash the game on use.

Is there gunna be a workshop library clean out? Or maybe make it so when they aren't working they have the red x?

My server always wants this mod and that mod but testing all the mods every week is a full time job

[rancid scarab]

Will we get any type of plane/jet in future?

[half locust]

no - see existing roadmap

[azure meteor]

I made a video about this!

Basically a 1025 will protect against rifles ak74 and m16 at about 30m and above. A pkm will go through even at 200

and the front glass is harder than the side doors

[azure meteor]

when more refrogger patches?

[half locust]

?

[native cliff]

Does the games crash on Xbox

Cause I’m planning on buying it but I want to make sure

[slow pagoda]

yes

[river dagger]

This may be a known thing, but did the recent update break the helicopter HUD?

[river dagger]

I see it's been addressed. Thanks y'all : )

[chilly briar]

Is there a way to resupply friendly AI with ammo in conflict or combat ops?

[bleak arch]

Hey question, is the bug on Xbox where you can’t use your right-stick whilst in the map (can’t rotate your protractor, can’t draw a line, and other stuff) also fixed internally or even known about?

[supple wigeon]

It’s known I summited a ticket. https://feedback.bistudio.com/T181209

[snow fossil]

Is it possible to load empty RPG with rocket I find on the ground without putting it inside my inventory first? If not, could this be considered as a feature?

[terse cloak]

Yeah if u open the rpg and put the rpg in it through the menu

[snow fossil]

Cool thanks 👍

[fossil kettle]

Does anyone have a link to a high res Fallujah map so a can make a briefing on?

[fossil condor]

Anyone know if theres a mod to bring back the old scenario where the US starts at the north and soviets at the south? or if its hard to remake that, ever since the random spawn locations, its made the north and south of the map useless, hardly anyone goes there, you just capture the towers and the main base, you never see people fighting at the south anymore which is a shame, its the most unique part of the map

[native cliff]

Does the games crash on xbox series x cause I might buy it so

[elder ore]

It might. It depends.. in some modded servers the game is more likely to crash. Sometimes the servers crash but this shouldn't stop you from buying Reforger. Buy it!

[twilit mirage]

Xbox can connect to pc player hosted servers right?

[terse cloak]

If u turn it on yes

[native cliff]

Okay I will

[twilit mirage]

When I host a crossplay server they time out when trying to connect. Any ideas on how to fix that?

[terse cloak]

Ask on servers, no idea

[native cliff]

Will buy reformer

[twilit mirage]

Ask on servers?

[terse cloak]

Reforger server channel

[steel yew]

Any mods that add RHS weapons and equipment to arsenal boxes that don’t include US/RU all in one? Will the remix pve work for Arland combat ops?

[snow fossil]

Is armor actually modeled this time or is it HP based like in Arma 3?

[gleaming holly]

Nah its actually modeled, it slows or stops projectiles that pass through/impact it properly

[snow fossil]

Is there video demonstration of this?

[gleaming holly]

Not that i know of off the top of my head. If you are on Reforger you can test it by using handgun rounds against body armor until you find a distance at which its not dealing damage to the player. At that distance you can fire infinite rounds at that person and never have an effect. Same is true with rifle rounds but the distance is much greater so its harder to see whats actually going on

[wicked terrace]

What is going on with groups?
I'm want to make a private group to play with my friends only, but after death it's always assign me to a random group...

[ancient rapids]

Known bug

[verbal mesa]

I think it's going to be fixed in tomorrow's update

[random lintel]

Anyone else having crashing issues on official servers?

[gleaming holly]

Does anyone know if an iZurvive style interactive map of Reforger's Everon exists? I have a very high resolution photo map but it doesnt have numbered grid lines and is difficult to mark on as I'd have to edit the image each time i made/changed a mark

[slow pagoda]

A3 has armor thickness and material modeled though

nearly all games have hitpoints/health though

[twilit mirage]

I was trying to switch items around in my inventory and the game crashed. Is this a known issue or a me issue?

Happened at least three times

[river dagger]

I read through the thread a bit, but I did not find an answer. The radio backpack deactivating for your squad after being used once? Known issue or no? Or does it have to do with the constantly leaving squad bug?

[verbal mesa]

Is it still happening since the e most recent hotfix today?

[grim dawn]

supposedly squad hopping is fixed. Your backpack wasn't being deactivated afaik, you were being placed into new squads

[fierce oar]

Hello, can anyone help me find where I rename scenario in tools?

[river dagger]

Haven't tried yet, but I will soon. : D

[verbal mesa]

It should be fixed! Radios are locked to your squad so that was the main issue

[novel bluff]

Is there a way to turn off platoon radio but not the squad radio? Do I just change the platoon frequency to something unused? 😃

[grim iris]

There was a mod floating around to removed it.

[shadow girder]

you also have an otpion int he interface tab now

[grim iris]

Oh nice. Cheers

[shadow girder]

they havent talk it to much but all the interface can now be hide for immersion it's super cool

[barren solstice]

Hey are the servers down because I just got on and I cant connect

[terse cloak]

You used to be able to turn off platoon but now you can just change it to another frequency

[rancid scarab]

just curious about the roadmap,when it says rockets for helis does it mean like a UH-1 huey with rocket pods or is it a AH-1 with rocket pods?

[twilit junco]

i wish the game have a "normalize" voice chat, so when people are too loud i barely hear anything else or too quiet i could hear in normal volume

[terse cloak]

For the helis that are in the roadmap, ah-1 cobra isnt in the roadmap

[rancid scarab]

k

[tardy rune]

whenever they do

[grim dawn]

you just gotta wait brother

You just gotta wait brother

[austere nimbus]

Soon™️

Which is between now and never 😏

And when it's added to the game you'll be able to see it in the changelog, which is way more reliable than an answer on this Discord by a random person.
Also allows you to not type the same question over and over again.

[fast salmon]

hey guys why is the download speed of the Arma Reforger module always a few KB?

[grim dawn]

pc or xbox?

PC? Check your network, restart router &c.
Xbox? Check your network, restarter router &c. But keep in mind Microsoft limits the download speed (I believe to 5 megabytes/sec)

[split lake]

Does anyone know why you can no longer down people with pistol head shots

[terse cloak]

Cuz a bullet to the head kills u

[split lake]

Sorry I meant to say a pistol shot to the helmet used to down, but now it does nothing but it wasn’t in any patch notes

[terse cloak]

Which helmet

[split lake]

Any like if I had a pistol and got someone in the helmet they would just be downed 1 shot now it’s just not possible

[terse cloak]

Melees have been touched in the past two major updates, not sure bout pistol

[split lake]

It was a secret update or it lts a bug like how now say if you down a teammate on accident if they decide to respond you get a tk but before if they respawned while down you wouldn’t get the blame

[humble phoenix]

3D scope kills my FPS, is there anything to fix this?

[verbal mesa]

Switch to 2D scopes in settings

[native cliff]

So I am new and I want to spread freedom where do I go

[gleaming holly]

Why are you crossposting incoherent questions

[native cliff]

?

I don’t know where to go man

[gleaming holly]

You asked the same question in two channels and refused to elaborate on it

[native cliff]

Okay well nobody responds so I thought come here so I did 😑

Also then don’t elaborate on it boom

[gleaming holly]

I dont think anyone knows what you mean by spread freedom

[native cliff]

It’s pretty obvious duh

Amy ways I’m gonna stop arguing with you and actually do stuff un like you making no sense arguing for no reason just stop I am getting tired of this so bye 🙄😉

[sand verge]

Bro?

[native cliff]

Omg bro what

[native cliff]

[native cliff]

What do you want

[sand verge]

Bro bro bro

[native cliff]

Okay cool keep doing that 🙄

[sand verge]

Maybe jstell us watchu want

[native cliff]

To answer to people who have no clue which is nobody is how to play the game

For what 2 people but that’s what I mean 👍

[gleaming holly]

Same energy as "has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"

[sand verge]

Wat

[sand verge]

Wat

[native cliff]

That makes almost-90 sense

Well guys I found somebody that’s not making these types of answers that make no sense maybe to a 90 year old man but not 23 year old 👍

[sand verge]

Bro wa

All you said is you want to spread democracy literally nothing else tf is u on about

[native cliff]

Well if it’s such a issue then don’t even look at this channel

At least the other guy knows how to spell and knows how to stop replying to me when it’s over

[sand verge]

???????

[native cliff]

And thanks to this guy

[sand verge]

Do you know what hes on bout?

[gleaming holly]

Why do i keep getting pinged for this shit. I have no idea what either of you are asking here

[native cliff]

Dude I’m just trying to watch YouTube and this guy WILL NOT JUST LET IT GO and he stated talking about after we were done so if you don’t mid stop replying to me ping me it’s done or even talking to me now thank you

[sand verge]

She/They actually

[spark hound]

Just stop bothering the dude

[sand verge]

Hes not using my pronouns tho

[spark hound]

It really doesn't matter this channel's already flooded

[sand verge]

Why does it not matter

[spark hound]

... Can you not read?

[sand verge]

I can i‘m asking why it doesn’t matter

[spark hound]

Because it's another damn message flooding the channel

[sand verge]

I still would like my respect?

[spark hound]

Too bad ig.

[sand verge]

Then why should I stop

[spark hound]

Keep going see where it gets you

[sand verge]

Im not hurting anyone

[neat drift]

hi is it possible to create a scenario from GM and import it into arma tool?

[tepid torrent]

because very few people could care, state your question in relation to reforger and stop flooding channel please

[tepid torrent]

I dont think you can as far as I know, maybe ask in #enfusion_physics

[sand verge]

I care tho

[tepid torrent]

hence why I used "few" instead of none 😆 If you have a valid question please just post it

[zenith talon]

Am I tripping or is the soviet nade launcher not there anymore?

[tepid torrent]

it is there, but it is separate object, you need to find "GP-25" and attach it to your AK

[zenith talon]

ah cheers, was wondering why GP-25 wasn't listed as a weapon

[humble phoenix]

when reforger going to get nvidia experience support?

[half locust]

as in?

[humble phoenix]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/games/

as in this list

[pine barn]

Does anyone know where I can find the modder SRGshadows to ask if he’s going to update the M2010 mod, or if he has something like that coming out of his sleeve soon?

[ancient rapids]

#enf_mods_feedback or maybe he has a showcase thread, he does link below

#1135325608906338384

[pine barn]

Thanks you very much.😁

[river nacelle]

anyone know why when i type in text chat its blank ? been going on for 2 months now ??

I think I saw a post mentioning emojis being in username or sth similar

How do you create objective in GM?

[rough sedge]

Happy Sunday from the West Coast 🌅
I have a Question Regarding a vanilla asset. This vehicle currently crashes servers when a player enters the Gun seat

• how can i blacklist this item from my server is if have access to the console?
• 'SCR_BaseSupportStationComponent' 'EOnInit': 'GenericEntity<0x00007F4A8799BCC0> @"ENTITY:4611686018427389187" ('GenericEntity','Assets/Items/Fuel/Jerrycan_01/Jerrycan_01.xo' Support Station is set to use supplies but it has no SCR_ResourceComponent

'SCR_BaseSupportStationComponent' 'EOnInit': 'GenericEntity<0x00007F4BC7B06AB0> @"ENTITY:4611686018427389283" ('GenericEntity','Assets/Items/Fuel/Jerrycan_01/Jerrycan_01.xo' Support Station is set to use supplies but it has no SCR_ResourceComponent

I noticed these ID's vary when i spawn them in

[elder ore]

Those errors happen with the jerrycan object and the fuel pumps in the game's worlds, they shouldn't crash servers since they are present in the inventory of most vehicles (The jerrycans). Also the vehicle you show doesn't have a turret so I'm not sure what you mean?

[rough sedge]

@elder ore this vehicle was updated to have a turret it spawns in with a M2 US 50cal MG this image doesn't represent how it currently spawns in game. The Server crashes take place when a player mounts the MG it has been consistent since the last major update

[native cliff]

So I downloaded some vehicles mods and where do I spawn them in game master cause I’m in the menu and they are not there

[gleaming holly]

A lot of the vehicle mods currently on the workshop were broken by the 1.2 update, causing them not to show up in the GM catalog.
Check https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1079658409747550248 to see if anyone has patched the ones you want, iirc the stryker is fixed and so is the bradley

[wispy hinge]

any mod to change and stay pointed to where you are looking when toggle off freelock?

[raw pier]

why is my game crashing aftewr about an hour of play consistently, can anyone help out?

[strong frigate]

How do I change my mod download directory properly? Ive tried doing it via launch options but then I am no longer able to actually download the mods

[grim dawn]

-addonDownloadDir "E:\ReforgerMods" -addonsDir "E:\ReforgerMods"

[strong frigate]

yea that didnt work either

i get this for every server I try to join

[grim dawn]

do the folders exist

[strong frigate]

yes.

[grim dawn]

You need to create them yourself if they haven't been made. then create an addons folder inside that folder

Reforger probably makes the dir/addons folder, but if its not there make it yourself. it throws 0 errors for this

But it definitely doesn't make the root folder (learned the hard way)

So if "ARMAMODS" doesn't exist already, you need to create it. check for typos

console.log might also have info

[strong frigate]

okay, ill check around the folders - thank you

[magic pebble]

rempve the ""

[grim dawn]

No point in removing the quotes, its supported

[magic pebble]

remove the | at the end too

[graceful relic]

Does anyone know if you can be voice banned in this game and if so how to check?

[terse cloak]

No

[graceful relic]

Must be another new bug then. Awesome 🙃

[twilit mirage]

So how do you report people?

[tepid torrent]

atm the only valid ways of reporting people are through steam itself or microsoft. Although personally I havent come across any serious xbox greifers in ages, almost all are on PC and use multiple accounts

[twilit mirage]

Personally idc what you've run into no offense

But that's also shitty they don't have their own way to ban

[tepid torrent]

I thought that I would mention that majority of them are pc simply because there is a common misconception that they are all console players, I did also answer your initial question of "how do you report people" 👍

[limpid crest]

hi all having a strage issue with reforger - "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" i have uninstalled and reinstalled nothing seems to work even tho ive played reforger in the past

[radiant kite]

If you’re on console make a party chat then leave it should fix

[strong frigate]

Does reforger have any sort of face customizer yet?

[verbal mesa]

No

[strong frigate]

Can anyone help me nail down my TrackIr problem - its gets like slightly off center when im ADS which obvioulsy makes shooting extremely difficult. Do I need to make like a deadzone or something, how can I adjust this?

[strong frigate]

How do you actually make use of the Medical Kit item?

oh you just put it on the gorund and it acts as an inventory?

[terse cloak]

U need supplies nearby and then u can take stuff aslong as u got supplies and also if by a ambulance or hospital u can fully heal

[strong frigate]

how do I look at the right side of my rifle when inspecting?

[drowsy geode]

tap R

[twilit junco]

isnt it holding R ? nevm

[near bolt]

What the hell is going on with my mods why when I turn them on and go into game master My mods just disappear

[autumn dust]

rnt every single one of those still broken from 1.2 update?

you can try to find "Fix" mods for at least some of those but they are made by other devs

or example

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61F0F5C0ACE3B0B5-Mi-28-Fix

read here: https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1079658409747550248

[near bolt]

Thanks

[zenith heath]

Is there a good way of moving the mod folder for the game? It fills my C drive like crazy...

[oak girder]

is there antistasi for reforger?

[terse cloak]

no, antistasi team is working on it but its not on the workshop

[zenith talon]

Why do you get randomly banned from all official servers even if you don't kill anyone?

[terse cloak]

vote kick

[zenith talon]

You don't get vote kicked within 1 min of serve ropening

[clever pumice]

Hey, I can't seem to download mods because I can't accept the license agreement, any help?

[shut bison]

Click esc and where it says 19.2mb click on that to download

[clever pumice]

oh, huh

Thank you kindly

[quaint rover]

Anyone know any decent Mods for PCU Jackets ?

Need one

[graceful relic]

Thank you for the advice, but I actually did try this and it didn't work 😕

I ended up having to close the app for the game and restart it to fix it. I even tried leaving the lobby I was in and rejoining and that still didn't work either

[bronze raft]

Any one know any mods that have bipods as a attachment

[sharp goblet]

Darkgru nato overhaul and 7th ctac have decent models

[strong frigate]

How can I create a custom TrackIr profile specifically for Reforger? I need a deadzone as I currently cant aim

[drowsy geode]

From the title tab in trackir5 program

only arma1-2-3 shows up so would probably need to contact their support to add reforger

[strong frigate]

how do you use the DAGR from RHS?

[gleaming holly]

It doesnt do anything other than turn on/off at the moment

[strong frigate]

ah

[gleaming holly]

You can inspect it in your hand to turn it on but thats it, it does give accurate info though

[strong frigate]

what about the IR and Regular light laser? on the PEQ 16

[gleaming holly]

What do you mean? The regular light laser is just that, the IR laser (PEQ-15/16) is only visible to people wearing NVGs. There's a high power (very bright, can easily see the entire beam) and low power (less bright, can see the beam but others further from you wont be able to see all of it as easily) setting on both PEQs. Use the RHS Radial Menu while either one is on your gun and youll get a description of what each mode is

[strong frigate]

what is the RHS Radial menu key?

[gleaming holly]

Same goes for the IR/visible helmet attachments like the MS2000

For xbox its Rb+Select (the 2 window button) and for PC im like 90% sure its ~
You can find all the RHS keybinds under Settings > Controls > RHS

On xbox you use R-trigger to select the item you want to interact with in the menu, like your gun or helmet

[strong frigate]

it says its " but that doesnt do anything

[gleaming holly]

You have to have RHS items on you or your gun in your hands for the menu to pop up. If it still isnt working id try rebinding it to something else and see if that fixes it

[foggy ridge]

didnt work for me as well had to toggle through inspect menu

[autumn dust]

https://docs.rhsmods.org/rhs-status-quo-user-documentation/arma-reforger/rhs-status-quo/general-systems/navigation-and-positioning

https://docs.rhsmods.org/rhs-status-quo-user-documentation/arma-reforger/rhs-status-quo/blufor/weapons/attachments/lasers/an-peq-16a-1
but each laser device is different so you have to see the modes that each has

[autumn dust]

I've seen this happen when there is binding conflict

[foggy ridge]

idk what I have bound to " probably nothing

all my binds are vanilla

maybe it doesnt work on mptest?

[autumn dust]

with no other mods loaded? have you tried rebinding to somethng else and does it work then?

also of course indeed you must have something on you that is interactable.

[strong frigate]

When hosting just a local server, I assume I can save the server settings/mods so I dont have to confure it each time by hitting "Save" but whenever I do that the game crashes - any fix here?

[polar veldt]

Does anyone know what this means?

[sand verge]

@foggy ridge hi bacon

[polar veldt]

This happens whenever I load reforger

[cerulean token]

I'm not an expert, but I believe your GPU is too old for Reforger.

Check the steam minimum requirements maybe

[clever pumice]

hey, anuyone faced the bug where you can't actually look around while in vehicles? You get stuck looking straight forawrd?

[half locust]

that intel integrated won’t run reforger, or its tools

[polar veldt]

What is intel integrated?

[tepid torrent]

It is graphics handled by a portion of your CPU, generally slow and will never run reforger, you need dedicated graphics card

[polar veldt]

Okay thanks

[clever pumice]

This was a mod, first person enhancement

[strong frigate]

Any news on if Reforger will re-introduce the step-left/right stances from A3?

[half locust]

reforger can barely have lean left and right on a controler fit...

so i wouldn't hold my breath on more movement things being added

[foggy ridge]

leaning on controller is

[slow pagoda]

you just lean on the couch to see around the corner

ez

[foggy ridge]

I bet leaning on controller was made by the same guy that made car steering on kbm

if you know you know

[slow pagoda]

maybe Arma will needs its own controller

like steel batallion 😄

like couple thumb modifier keys would triple the amount of keys you can have

[foggy ridge]

make it require a steering wheel to drive, kb+m to walk and aim and controller to fly

[slow carbon]

Difficult but good if u can master it!

[slow carbon]

Nah, unless you want to fund that for us then you can sod off lol

[foggy ridge]

Done

[tepid torrent]

when will reforger support guitar hero controller?

[slow pagoda]

😅

[gaunt trellis]

I actually use the mouse steering in a small capacity

I like having the smoothed out small changes I can make with it

turning the wheel 45 degrees in either direction when pressing A or D is a bit jarring and yeah

[verbal mesa]

What's wrong with keyboard and mouse driving?

[foggy ridge]

steering

[verbal mesa]

Yea what's wrong with it?

[foggy ridge]

instant on controller, slow on mnk

[verbal mesa]

Yes that's a problem with controller for sure how fast can you turn a steering wheel on a deuce?

[foggy ridge]

I think I can do it at a speed somewhere in the middle between the two

[verbal mesa]

On an 80s rack and pinion with big ass tires?

Actually not rack and pinion... Ackermann..

Steering box with Pitman arm and idler anyways

[foggy ridge]

I am very strong though

[verbal mesa]

😂

Good answer, that German super strength

[strong frigate]

How exactly do the medical trucks function?

[celest granite]

You sit in then they increase heal speed

[strong frigate]

I see.

[tardy rune]

you get the privilege of uninstalling every one of your mods and reinstalling them all.

or if you dont want to, manually uninstall every mod the server that gives that issue uses, then reinstall them all.

[west jasper]

lol

Was asking for a friend so I personally don’t get the privilege

[terse cloak]

With a medpack you can fully heal people near an ambulance

[warm herald]

is there a way to stop automatically putting guns in low ready after running?

[verbal mesa]

Change your keybind for it from shift to single tap of left control

Shift is a bad keybind for low ready idk why that is default

[fallen prism]

my game keeps saying its failing to load because of a mod i dont have downloaded

[versed idol]

🕺

[quaint thunder]

Gday. quick question will there be autorotation as well as the rotor blades moving smoke around like in Arma 3.

[woeful junco]

there is auto rotation in the game

if you shut off the engine while its spining up on the ground you can raise the collective and see how it works

however you cant do it for long in the air

[strong frigate]

Do you have to delete all your mods to play the tutorial? It gives me errors any time I try to load into leading every mod i have downloaded

[silver current]

where would i go for info on trackir + hotas, someone point me pls thank you

[slow carbon]

Yeah, I give up on the tutorial when I first played arma and just went into a server and winged it lol

[verbal mesa]

Disable them in mod manager through the workshop

[ancient sun]

@sand verge you want the players to give commands to the AI, or just for the GM to order the AI to move?

[strong frigate]

i just want to practice flying helicopters really

[slow carbon]

Go into a empty vanilla server

[strong frigate]

Wouldnt i still need to work my way up ranks? I just want to get in and fly

[slow carbon]

Game master then?

Locally hosted gamemaster?

[strong frigate]

yea that could work

[terse cloak]

if you wanna fly then just do sp gm

[sand verge]

gM

[serene spade]

Does enfusion persistence framework no longer work? I have not been able to get any sessions to save on my servers. It used to save the props and compositions, spawn points, etc. Now it does nothing. Help?

[gleaming holly]

It never did anything to begin with by itself. Its a framework to use when creating a persistent gamemode (such as Overthrow) in workbench. Simply adding it to a GM/Conflict/etc server will have no effect

-loadSessionSave does not need EPF to work afaik

[serene spade]

Okay, I understand. Then, is there a reason my sessions wont load/save? do I need to enable that manually?

[gleaming holly]

That i dont know, what server host do you use? Also is the save youre trying to load from the current game version and are all mods the same/same version?

[serene spade]

I found it, it was a config issue. Thanks for the replies though

[gleaming holly]

Np, what was the issue with the config if you don't mind typing it out? May help others in the future

[river dagger]

Can someone explain to me how a base begins to get passive supply gain?

[terse cloak]

a radio tower most of the times, basically the base has to have range back to main base.

[river dagger]

in vanilla Conflict, that is

[river dagger]

Yeah that's what I thought, which is why I'm asking cause I'm looking at two bases directly connected to main and they're not getting the supplies.

[terse cloak]

not actually to main base but to the base behind and then the base behind until it reaches the main base

[terse cloak]

if the base has like a orange electricity icon on the base it means it has no radio range back to main base

[river dagger]

Yeah, both the nodes I'm talking about have at minimum armory and radio antenna. They're definitely connected.

[flint zenith]

Probably a really silly question, I am getting terrible DL speeds inside Reforger, ~5MB/s but I usually don't take ~50 minutes to DL 5GBs - is there something I should do/change to potentially speed up the DL?

[terse cloak]

xbox or pc

[flint zenith]

PC

[terse cloak]

idk then

[slow pagoda]

no dont think there is anything you can do

[serene spade]

the -loadsessionsave parameter was not functioning, had to go into the server system setting to set to on

[serene spade]

there isnt anything. It is a limitation of the workshop resources. It had been acting up the past few days

[river dagger]

I believe it depends on the server you're downloading from, but yeah so far my experience is that it's painfully slow.

Well no, idk where you download from if it's from the internal workshop or the serer itself. I unno.

[flint zenith]

It was actually straight from the in-game Workshop

[river dagger]

Yeah it's been stupid slow for me as well. Idk

[river dagger]

Is there a bistudio community wiki page about fast travel or 'request transport' mechanic?

Idk what to call it to look it up.

[river dagger]

New question. What does white v yellow v red mean when building?

[sly apex]

what is this code? i cant find anything wrong with the aircraft

[river dagger]

Tail rotor I think? Could be very wrong.

[gleaming holly]

Light damage to tail rotor, youll have slight to moderate loss of control but it's difficult to notice

[terse cloak]

Just deploy a radio bacpackband you can fast travle to i. It has a 10min cool down

[terse cloak]

White means good, yellow is that its gonna be built crooked and red is there is something blocking it from building

[sly apex]

is it just control via rotor that i lose? that’s the most obvious answer but i don’t know for sure

[terse cloak]

Its the icon for the main rotor not the tail rotor, tail rotor has the tail of the helicopter along with the rotor

[terse cloak]

You lose control of the heli if the tail rotor is damaged, and it starts spinning if its destroyed, for the main rotor you basically loose lift and if its broken complitely then you plunge to the ground

[terse cloak]

the red one is tail rotor

[foggy ridge]

insert CD indicator and grenade throw warning

[vestal sinew]

thats clearly a very angry robot shaking his fist

[foggy ridge]

ah yes clearly, my bad

[tepid torrent]

no it is a pizza slicer guys

[fresh lake]

Hi guys! Does the persistent save work yet for Combat Ops?

[white crag]

Anyone else experience game freezing, fps drop and crashes when opening map and or trying to respawn from the deployment screen? Any help would be appreciated! Also happens in the respawn menu after dying

[verbal mesa]

Teleporting needs to be removed altogether

[feral grove]

Does the PASTG vest in reforger simulate plates? Did it have plates at that time and era?

[magic pebble]

no and no

[slow carbon]

No. It's a flak vest similar to the British-Combat Body Armour unit.

[river dagger]

According to other info, you can fast travel to team objectives or personally set objectives. I have not figured out how.

[river dagger]

And yellow still does not let you set the structure down, so idk the difference between red and yellow.

[river dagger]

I mean I might agree if it worked at all or if anyone knew how to use it lol. Request transport seems to be a decent substitute for when your team has no transport specialists and/or maybe a carryover from co-op missions.

Ngl 48 players is stretching it imo. It feels as though it limits the ability of backline players like logistics and transport to be effective.

In my imagination, 64 players is more appropriate for Everon.

[slow carbon]

Bro the servers barely cope as is and you want MORE players??

[balmy trail]

Does anyone know what the PvE is like now in summer 2024? Not much into multiplayer. Well, not at least what comes to this franchise.

[slow carbon]

There are plenty of PvE game modes across many maps around that exist

In terms of single player it depends on platform

[balmy trail]

Thanks. I'm on PC so modding is not an issue. However, I was just wondering whether the game is worth buying solely for the single-player experience. I like creating my own scenarios and such so I don't need nothing special in terms of story etc.

[slow carbon]

Maybe, there is overthrow and combat ops everon/arland. Have a look on YouTube

Ideally you have your own server (which you can password so no one else joins btw) and run PvE everon and stuff like that on it

[balmy trail]

Thanks. I'll look into it.

[terse cloak]

Not anymore

You used to be able but it was removed

[terse cloak]

For me it does

[slow carbon]

Red means "no I'm not going to go here" , Yellow means "if you choose to build me here I'm going to be wonky or have my function impeded, White means "fine"

[stark pivot]

Has anyone used vpn's for port forwarding(im trying to host a local server)

[chilly briar]

Can you recruit friendly AI in combat ops Everon similar to antistasi?

[terse cloak]

You can recruit them, but finding them is the other question

[chilly briar]

I've been trying to solo it but it's difficult. I'm trying to use guerrilla tactics and only attack at night

Is it possible to find an arsenal in combat ops everon so you can save your loadout?

[terse cloak]

No but the bases you attack have gear and sometimes weapon arsenals

[river dagger]

You're not wrong

[river dagger]

So you can only request transport to radio backpacks?

[river dagger]

I have never been able to actually deploy a structure while it is yellow.

[slow carbon]

I always am able to

[river dagger]

well maybe your gay

[slow carbon]

Are you PC or Xbox?

[river dagger]

(dont ban me pls)

[river dagger]

PC

[slow carbon]

Ah, I'm Xbox

That might be why

[river dagger]

Yeah I have never been able to deploy anything while the ghost is yellow.

[slow carbon]

God knows, Arma Being Arma

[river dagger]

Which is what lead to my confusion.
Still a fucking insanely nice game.

I have a couple hundred hours into reforger and I have not touched any custom server.

The vanilla pvp game mode plays like a more steamlined 'squad'.

Then again I am essentially paying 30 bucks to beta test arma 4 so. Get off ur asses a holes.

[terse cloak]

yes and the only ones that are in your squad

[slow pagoda]

if you got to write dont ban me please. dont write the other thing. Might do little bit of banning just to get the message through properly

[warm osprey]

Can i invite people to a game master session I started or do I need to host a dedicated server?

[terse cloak]

u need to rent a server yes

[warm osprey]

Alr thanks

[slow carbon]

Btw if your worried if it offends me- I'm not lol he's actually quite accurate 🤣🤣

[slow pagoda]

well thats good at least. but I was talking more in general how one should strive to behave

[slow carbon]

Oh lol I wholeheartedly agree

[snow fossil]

I am glad Reforger provides this experience in public servers. Well deserved. And I am also glad me and crew can have jolly good time like in Arma 3. Minus some functionalities ofc but its already leaps above 3 and I cannnot go back.

[strong frigate]

Any word on the next update for Reforger, the one the the rest of the roadmap stuff?

[hasty isle]

That ain't for a long time son, hell we don't even know how long

[sudden ingot]

Anyone know if there's a reason the "command" button/bind doesn't work for me? Is this a well known bug and/or have a solution?

[drowsy geode]

you ahve to be squad leader to use command menu

[sudden ingot]

I am

All 3 of us playing on this game are squad leaders. It works for the other two.

I'm game host, if that matters

[verbal mesa]

Try creating a new squad and then holding ~

[sudden ingot]

This has persisted through multiple loads of game and squads.

[sudden ingot]

It pops up my inventory bar at the bottom briefly, that's it.

[verbal mesa]

Did you check your controls? Seems like it's acting as if you don't have squad lead

Try changing it to another keybind

[sudden ingot]

I have checked controls, I have tried rebinding '~' to 'n'

[verbal mesa]

That's an odd one, never heard it before.. Sorry

[sudden ingot]

Guess I'll send it to troubleshooting then

[azure meteor]

I think so too, there should be no teleporting, and also there should be no magic spawn portals (radios and command trucks).

If someone does not travel 2 km before a firefight they are not playing refrogger as it should be

only if a player is emotionally invested into the fight (by having a slow lead up to it) then there is an intensity.

[tepid torrent]

agreed, or otherwise it is just the same dude spawning on base repeatedly and hurling lead in the direction they died at, removing spawns from contested bases all together would be great

[verbal mesa]

I think the spawns are fine especially since they are based on resource. It's too easy to contest. But destroying antennas and/or Armouries is a cooler way to negate respawns

[tepid torrent]

I would like the idea of spawning at the nearest uncontested base getting some AI and reinforcing the objective instead of spawn waves that either reslt in unsatisfactory base defense and capture as well as draining supplies

[sharp monolith]

Im making a game master scenario in Reforger and it seems some arsenal items are restricted?

Im using bacon's loadout editor, but when I try to drag the items to my character from the vanilla arsenal it wont move either.

Any clue?

^^ I just figured out that I need to remove other items to put them on, my bad.

[foggy ridge]

this UI came out really nice (except the inventory screen)

[surreal wigeon]

how do I get modern kit when I load into a multiplayer server? (1st time)

[shut bison]

Go to an arsenal

[snow fossil]

This is more of preferential question but I like to fly with keyboard but its pretty difficult to land. Is auto hover in real helicopters and if so, do pilots use it? Or is it shameful to use?

[terse cloak]

You can trim a mi 8 to be steady but it doesnt have a auto hover.

[woeful junco]

I would never regard a arma helicopter pilot that uses auto hover as competent.

but yes there are certain helicopters that do have auto hover and auto pilot capabilities

[snow fossil]

Yeah I know am at the beginning

[terse cloak]

but mi 8 doesnt and i dont think the huey does either, not sure ho

[snow fossil]

Flying is fine even like dangerously low and stuff. I just dont know how to do bleed properly and stuff. Sometimes I do but I get too much speed trying to balance it.

[stable topaz]

Just practice, it will become second nature. Don't use auto hover, it will get you killed.

[snow fossil]

Right thanks

[stable topaz]

Keyboard for big inputs, mouse to fine tune. Don't try to be too precise, give yourself margin on approaches and such.

[lucid tulip]

its more difficult to be precise with a keyboard then it is with a stick , throttle and pedals. autohover on helicopters that didnt have it is just a way of making it easier for the realities of keyboard flying.
