reforger_questions

[woeful junco]

skill issue ive never had problem with mouse and keyboard

even in arma 3 with the afm with auto trim enabled

[lucid tulip]

the Huey is easier to keep stable then the mi8. id say its a flight model issue since any helo with SCAS should be more stable and forgiving to fly

[terse cloak]

flying helis in reforger is so easy due to the flight model.

[lucid tulip]

If the flight model wasnt as simplified id say id be nearly impossible to do so.

I tried flying keyboard in DCS. ITs annoying enough id never want to play it in such fashion if i didnt have a hotas

[elder ore]

The Mi-8 has autopilot, stabilizes during take off, flight and landing. I'm tweaking it in WB and I can now cruise at a realistic 240 KmH or pass its maximum speed without losing altitude or fighting the controls (It was very underpowered and unbalanced). The problem with increasing power is you can save it in situations/maneuvers where you normally wouldn't so you need to find a middle ground or fine tune the settings. There are no tool tips or information on how to setup helicopter parameters and its hard to make sense of it. If you drop your controls the Mi-8 will begin tilting backwards, it shouldn't happen and can be tweaked/fixed. It tends to spin on the ground until its rotors are fully on. Releasing the brakes makes it go backwards even if you push the stick because of its center of gravity. IRL the Mi-8 is light years ahead of the huey and its far more capable helicopter than a blackhawk. You can say it takes practice or its a skill issue but if you know, the helicopter just isn't setup correctly and I'm not going to waste time learning how to handle something this broken. For example its fuel consumption is setup to be the same as the huey, and they both have it at half the value of a M998 . Its nice they added bling to reforger with animated suspensions, doors and controls but the devs overlooked the stuff that really matters. The Mi-8 needs some major fixing!!

[tepid torrent]

the pivot during takeoff is annoying, my guess is that the tail rotor isnt putting enough force paired with the wheels possibly not having good friction values

[elder ore]

IDK, because once it reaches idle speed it stops happening. Its also annoying that if you release the brakes it starts rolling back. Moving the center of gravity forward in prefab editor messes up the flight, rotating it would probably help but there is no such option. Already tilted the main rotor forward which seemed to help with flight stability but tweaking values and seeing what happens is annoying.

[tepid torrent]

maybe the rear suspension isnt stiff enough? leading to the back drooping down. It is annoying that it rolls back instead of forward bc I cant do rolling takeoff

[azure meteor]

is the mi8 nerfed in speed? In real life it is much faster than the huey

It would be lame if the mi8 is nerf to balance against the huey

[tepid torrent]

I think they are pretty much the same, it is hard to determine considering speed can be VERY high depending on the dive angle and duration

[tepid torrent]

I doubt it is

[azure meteor]

the mi8 has much more powerful turbines. It looks like a flying cow however it is a very fast helicopter for its size

[elder ore]

The rear suspension should probably raise once you start moving but its more to do with the angle and physics. Anyway cruising around Everon at 240Kmh feels much better. Pushing it past its maximum speed is possible too. The Mi-8 is much faster than the UH-1 IRL.

[azure meteor]

I think people assume it is slow because soviet and being such a large copter, but that thing is only slightly slower than the mi24

[tepid torrent]

it isnt slow, it is just got a lot of momentum that makes controlling it a little harder

[elder ore]

I've looked into real world data for cruising speed, max speed, climbing speed, fuel tank capacity, fuel consumption, etc. The one ingame starts losing altitude about 200 kph. Its crap.

[tepid torrent]

fuel capacity needs to be realistic, but consumption rate modification for conflict makes sense

[azure meteor]

the mi8 is a better aircraft in total than the huey, the huey was a smaller copter that was pressed into work it was not really made for, while the mi8 was basically designed to be a flying powerful truck

[tepid torrent]

while the MI-8 and its derivatives are the best utility copters in existence imo, the UH-1 has its place as being an old but reliable and versatile platform, obviously during the years reforger is set it was still being used but was on the way out due to how outdated it was

[azure meteor]

I dont think that the huey is useless, however the mi8 appears to be just the right size for a military copter, in the same timeframe the USA only had very light copters or very heavy copters.

[stable topaz]

Quick in-game test, top speed when flying level at 20m altitude

UH-1: 220 km/h
Mi-8: 180 km/h

[azure meteor]

that looks like someone tried to gameplay balance, bohemia should make the mi8 faster than the huey

[stable topaz]

Totally. Odd considering they tend to stick to realistic values elsewhere.

[elder ore]

UH-1 should be more like 160 or 70 and Mi-8 250 km/h but both can go faster pass the spec limit. The TV3 engines were used on the havoc, hind, etc. I think they tried to keep the speeds below 200 because of desync.

[celest granite]

mi-8 is sluggish and slow, it can get a high speed but slowly

[azure meteor]

That is not the case, it has more engine power than a huey, for a helicopter big does not mean slow

This is just exaggerated videogame assumptions: heavy = slow

[celest granite]

No I'm not saying that it's slow slow

I'm saying that it handles slow

Huey feels fast cuz it's more responsive and handles better

And also the mi8 is not that much faster

[stable topaz]

Mi-8 cruise speed should be higher than the UH-1, that's a pretty simple metric to correct

[elder ore]

Already did it. But it can go faster than 250. The Mi-8 performed better in Afghanistan in the 80's than the craphawks in the 2000's. Lets all start looking up and posting videos of the Hip flying centimetres above ground...

[woeful junco]

wait until you see the Mi-8 mi 28 hybrid

[errant ice]

Then again Hueys should have armored seats but I don't belive they have any armor value currently. There are a lot of things in this game that don't correspond to the real life like players running around with PKM with extra ammo and 7 RPG-s etc.

Overall flying in Arma is quite unrealistic. Half of the manouvers players do with helos, should result crashing to the ground.

[odd ridge]

for commanding AI in combat, how is it so far? good, bad, shit?

[terse cloak]

not good

[odd ridge]

to the point where it's not worth taking a squad of them to combat not good?

[random dagger]

its not good , but not shitty either

you might have some micromanagement to do

[terse cloak]

Theres no gameplay loop for them currently in conflict, they dont serve a purpose, only thing they do reliably is follow you, until there is combat

[random dagger]

CRX AI mod got updated and they behave atleast a lot better

[terse cloak]

but thats not in vanilla

[random dagger]

true

[verbal mesa]

I was having a really hard time commanding AI last night however I think they just suck on modded maps since they use the navmesh

[lucid tulip]

agreed. just look at the Chinook thing is a a behemoth but doesnt lack power, manuverability or speed at all. Hell its powerfull enough that even older models could lift a Mi24

[lucid tulip]

"craphawks" are more forgiving to fly even preceding the fly by wire uh60m and have better avionics suite,

[woeful junco]

I guess you havent seen the new mi8 helicopters

[lucid tulip]

is it like Schrodinger's T14?

[ancient rapids]

If they didn't use the navmesh they would be so much worse.

[verbal mesa]

Oh absolutely.

[ancient rapids]

Way it was worded it sounded like you were saying the navmesh was what was making them bad

[lucid tulip]

wondering if the USSR team will get Plum colored polymer configuration AK74/ RPK74. Pretty sure these were being issued by the late 80s. the US team has camo configuration for M16 and carbine even though it wasnt on roadmap so i figure for aesthetic variety the same could be done for the Ak74/RPK74?

https://www.reddit.com/r/ak47/comments/jmlld7/soviet_soldier_showing_off_the_new_plum_hand/

[verbal mesa]

Oh, the navmesh on the custom map was likely bad for AI or not configured very well

[half locust]

that is ak-74m and it has been mass produced starting 1991 and fielded 1992-1996. Considering the game is taking place in 1989, this upgraded varianta using polymer furniture was not in existance

[lucid tulip]

ak74m is supposed to have black colored polymer and a foldable stock. The earlier provided color photo has neither

plus there is photos of it in afghanistan like the black and white example. Although lacking color you can tell by the shape of the handguard its polymer like the plum example

excerpts are from a book(s) cited is the "AK47 Catalog" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B30ttx3hHBY

[half locust]

having noticed it has a fixed stock. ak74m comes is black and plum too btw, but yeah i stand corrected, the above is late 80s furniture in polymer

[buoyant mist]

Hi, does anyone know if there is any API or some other way to get the number of players, their game time, nicknames from the reforger server ?

[foggy ridge]

number of players can be fetched via A2S, you can also try to fetch players via RCON, other than that not really

[steel yew]

Any recommendations on mods that will automatically change Soviet side AI to modern Russians that will work on conflict game modes even on Arland?

[river dagger]

Samesies lol

🫡 you right

[glad cove]

are you planning to expand your reforger samples? For example with items animations (not weapons only) samples or building samples (to explain on how to properly install light portals etc)?

[brisk mortar]

Is it only me, or is there a reason you can not go prone while aiming down sights?
I know you would not want to do that in real life unless you wanted to poke your eye out, but in game the necessary additional clicks or keys cost so much time.

[heady valve]

What are these "SCR_SaveFileManager_SessionSave" files flooding the workshop lately, and is there a way to filter them out?

[sweet lagoon]

How long do destroyed vehicles/dead characters remain on the map before they are deleted?

[lapis cipher]

Anyone running on a 1080 8GB these days?
Considering reforger as the performance seems miles ahead of Arma 3, but unsure if it'd be too demanding. My CPU is a bit meh aswell, but it's a 200 dollar prebuilt with an upgraded card.
Specs: I7 7700 4ghz, 4 cores 8 threads.
16Gb ram at whatever speed.
And of course a twin frozr 1080 8Gb.

[ancient rapids]

I still use a 1060 ti

[snow fossil]

I have similar rig and get 30-48 fps with everything dialed up

[verbal mesa]

1080 was a great card and still is great. Best Nvidia series

And honestly Reforger runs pretty well especially with it being Gpu dominant vs cpu like the old ones

[tepid pine]

Hello, is there a way to move / transfer multiple items or a stack of identical items in the inventory? (Xbox)

[magic skiff]

Did you find an alternative mod that gives radios a reel feel and sound? As this mod seems broken

[nocturne vessel]

how play the map what you download in workshop?

[terse cloak]

scenarios tab

[nocturne vessel]

i want with game master

[terse cloak]

yeah it sould be there

[edgy ermine]

Anyone else having issues with Ace Medical?

[nocturne vessel]

i can't

[ancient rapids]

what kind of issues?

[edgy ermine]

The server won't boot up when we add it

We removed all other mods and it still won't boot up

[ancient rapids]

might be corrupted then, delete it and redownload. running fine on my servers!

[edgy ermine]

OK I'll see

I'll try that and if that don't work I'll be back ig

My guys says it's the Ace Core that's messing up not the medical

[ancient rapids]

I run ace all in one which includes both ace core and ace medical without issues

[edgy ermine]

@ancient rapids Ina check and see if we are doing the all in one or the individual ones and see if that's the issue

Ya we was just trying to use the medical and the carrying but ima see if using the all in one works

[ancient rapids]

I think mag repack was having issues fyi, they removed it from the all in one mod

[edgy ermine]

Ima try to use the all In one tonight and see if it works

[tired mulch]

Ok, this might look weird when you read it.

What happens when you launch Reforger via Proton9-10, and then go ahead, find a server, and attempt to load into the map?

You'd expect to be greeted with an intro to the map, then be given full control to your character, right?

No, instead you'll be greeted to a disconnected GPU driver and your displays going permanently blank forcing you to power cycle the system via the power button...

Last driver update on my Nobara40 system was performed on 15th August 2024 with it, before hand a few days earlier failing, but being ultimately successful in the end.

[steel yew]

What’s the best settings to make the ai deadly and accurate in game master? Idk why sometimes they just walk in a perfect line and get mowed down so easily. No challenge

[dim quiver]

I like your funny words magic man

[tired mulch]

I am not magic.

[slow carbon]

Hi 👋 stupid question I know, but I've looked myself and can't find it. Any way on xbox to rotate placements at bases such as the Arsenal? What's the controls

[exotic marsh]

Should be RB and moving left stick

[sand verge]

is there a way to get some one banned if they are using stolen valor or??

[terse cloak]

wot??

[sand verge]

i have some one who clame there a vet but was proven that they was lieing

[terse cloak]

on official?

[woeful junco]

what he do try to get a loan from BI?

[slow carbon]

Thanks

[slow carbon]

Not that I'm aware of but there should be

[magic pebble]

only banned? report him to the hague court so they can be tried then shot for such egregious crime

[thorn furnace]

This is the most normal thing on this game. happens every day. nothing to be done about it; just some mentally disabled kid talking shit.

[slow carbon]

That's a touch far but still it's not right

[slow carbon]

Doesn't make it correct though does it? It's just like neos and racists

[magic pebble]

if someone in their community was lying to them, then that was a dick move, but no serious person care about stole valor

[tepid torrent]

everyone who pretends to be a vet seems to be a squeaky teen that cant get along with anyone, dead give away

[vivid mantle]

Oh trust me there are adults that do that too

Having run a milsim community for 8 years, I have seen it all

[slow carbon]

Absolutely, I've seen to many videos of it

[azure meteor]

however how is that relevant to a game played by people around the world?

[slow pagoda]

On the game side such things are not monitored.

[magic pebble]

most likely because they are young, they don't understand that to anyone who served, saying you also served means at one point, you got diarrhea and shat your brains out behind a bush in the middle of bumfuk nowhere.

there is nothing cool about it. it only means just like the rest of us, you were too stupid to be an engineer or a doctor.

[lucid tulip]

or just couldnt afford the college tuition without a GI bill.....

education for fields like that arent cheap and being hundreds of thousands in debt isnt fun either if you dont come from money

[woeful junco]

out of scope for this channel but 90% of college degrees are worthless and the military is a horrible way of doing it. basically the only reason why they do gi bill is to turn enlisted into officers.

[lucid tulip]

point is plenty of reasons why someone might go into the military without being a below room temp IQ deadbeat without better prospects in life.

Perhaps you could say the amount of quality of voluntary recruits decreases when people become disillusioned with their countries, but that's also out of scope for the channel.

[snow fossil]

Exactly, no one cares

[foggy steppe]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/known-issues

Is there a current list of problems with version 1.2?

Looks like some of them have already been fixed.

[queen oxide]

Any info on PS5 release. There was an update early July that the studio intend to release the PS5 version. But no further info. A month later, is there any updates?

[terse cloak]

not that i know of

[slow pagoda]

nope. you would find such easily through the official channels if there were

[next oxide]

does anyone know how to set up the weather system ( SCR_timeandweathermanager) within Enfusion world editor for a newly made map, i have set up base params within the world entity (SUN,Moon,stars,etc) and placed the timeandweathermanager prefab into the world and it looks great, clouds load in and i can use the weather settings in the hotbar at the top, but when i use the "play mode" to test it the screen goes really dark but there is still sound and game is running fine but its like there is a filter over the player camara, the ammo ui is still clearly visible as well as the inventory menu, screenshots here-https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/1evxz8a/weather_system_in_workbench/

[azure meteor]

current list of problems:
1.3 is not out

and mortars are not there

[barren laurel]

Is it normal that the clouds are so blurry?
I looked around YT for videos with clouds, and so far it seems like that just is how it is, but i am not sure - maybe there is some setting i need to change?

[foggy ridge]

they used to be sharper 2 years ago, but it was broken in some update

[real breach]

How do i change where my Mods download?

[barren laurel]

I already asked this, but didn't get any answer:

What is in-game the "Log In" good for?
...when i click on my Steam Username in top right corner, which shows a dialog to log-in using Bistudio account credentials.
Few days ago it didn't even work, today it did, but i still don't know what is it good for 🙂

[tepid torrent]

performance reasons most likely, getting them highly detailed now requires high environment settings, hopefully we get some optimizations to it eventually, maybe along with q fix for the weird cloud seam that seems to be appearing every so often

[barren laurel]

Well, seems like nobody knows what is the login for 😄

Let me ask a different question then:
Is there any known visual bug related to map or map markers, that manifests as weird broken/messed up markers on the map as shown on the image?

[untold shale]

It looks like a broken image atlas

[barren laurel]

yeah, and i can find a lot more occurences like that.
And i just realized i had some map mod installed... vPad? (adds a scrolling map you can hold in hand, like GPS device of sorts)
So i need to test without that mod. - maybe its the culprit.

[barren laurel]

Turns out it mas a "mission" called Escapists.
Even if no other mod is active, it turns all map object markers into triangles, and sometimes those mangled markers on the picture (actually, even the two triangles aren't supposed to be there - the red one is a bus stop, the black one i don't remember).

Maybe it is out of date - speaking of which, how can you even tell?
Unless the author writes it into the description (which very few do), there is no way telling how old the thing is, or what game version it was made with.

[stable topaz]

Best bet is probably to check the mod channel. Looks pretty active.
https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1217934660827611276

[barren laurel]

Yeah, i guess.
Now imagine if the Workshop would show... i don't know... how about at least the date the mod was published?
Still not perfect, but better than nothing.

[stable topaz]

Yeah I agree. Or the ability to filter by recently updated.

[errant ice]

Does anybody know if there is a ticket for armory equipment dumping exploit while capping the base?

[magic skiff]

Hey do we have any working mod that allows for holding a knife?

[cloud sand]

does it keep the zeroing setting when respawning? or is it per life? or how does that work?

[main parcel]

Is it possible to save progress you make in combat ops in single player?

[cloud chasm]

Who can explain why many mods in the reforger don't work?

[terse cloak]

because the 1.2 update broke them

[cloud chasm]

So I was thinking in the right direction. thx mate

[fossil kettle]

Any news on when the power grid is coming out.
That part has huge potential

[terse cloak]

nothings been said iirc

[fossil kettle]

copy that.

it will set this game out from the others.

[ancient rapids]

The website workshop does indeed show the info you're looking for, date and game version it was published under

[barren laurel]

I confused myself - what do you mean by "website workshop"?

[stable topaz]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop

[barren laurel]

😱 i didn't know about that (what a surprise).
Well, if the data is there, it could as well be in the in-game browser.

[stable topaz]

Yeah, it'd be more useful there

[tepid pine]

Stupid question:
How do you exfiltrate in Combat Ops?

[stray blade]

Arland or Everon?

[tepid pine]

Playing Everon solo

Extraction point is at "Petr" (044 049)

[stray blade]

There is a marker, i believe on calvary hill, where you go once you complete objectives

[tepid pine]

Do all objectives have to be completed or can you exfiltrate whenever you like?

[stray blade]

Think all or majority

Never tried extracting before all objectives were done

[tepid pine]

Because the "Attack" mission on point Kaspar seems to be bugged and the "Deliver Weapons" mission didn't save the first 10 AK74 i put in the weapon crate.

[brave marten]

Information about the new update

[stray blade]

Yeah, the combat ops everon is very buggy

[terse cloak]

all need to be done on everojn

[stray blade]

If one bugs out you are more or less stuck

[tepid pine]

Well fuck ... are the other scenarios also as bugged? Are they worth to be played or as much a mess?

[terse cloak]

escapists is good

[stray blade]

Official ones no. Arland works well. Unofficial no idea

[tepid pine]

Arland works well in Combat Ops or also Conflict scenario (playing solo)?

[terse cloak]

no point really playing conflict solo

[foggy ridge]

yes as conflict is kind of meant for multiplayer

[stray blade]

Both. But as slam said, no point playing conflict solo

[foggy ridge]

you could say playing it solo would be a conflict of interest

[clear sparrow]

Does WZ have a mod thread?

[stable topaz]

They do on the Modders Lounge discord, not sure they do here

[snow fossil]

When do we expect dev branch update?

[drowsy geode]

certainly before end of summer

[storm acorn]

Hello everyone, could someone explain to me how to replenish the ammo at the Apache?

[barren laurel]

How to tell the game which input device to use as a Microphone input?
I don't see anything like that in the Audio settings, but maybe there is some "secret" config variable i could add?

or does it get that from Steam?

[drowsy geode]

you do that from steam

[terse cloak]

It uses the default mic from windows

[barren laurel]

so not what is set in Steam?

[terse cloak]

Idk but if you set ur mic as default on windows then it works

[barren laurel]

hmmm, that is not going to work for me

[fossil kettle]

are you using a controller?

sometimes the controller mic output overides the default mic.

[barren laurel]

Nonono, i am not using a controller.
Its just that i have everything already set up around the fact that the Windows Default Mic is used by all kinds of stuff like Discord, Teamspeak, Mumble, etc., and for in-game voice i use a different device.
It would be too much hassle to reconfigure everything, all the apps, all the other games i play, just to make the Mic work in Reforger (well,it wouldn't be THAT hard, but i hate doing it).

But are you guys sure that Reforger doesn't get the device from Steam?
Because it would make sense for it to do so, since the thing is so integrated with it 😭

[bleak crow]

wut

[fossil kettle]

Check the roadmap

[azure meteor]

it will use what is set in your windows as default

[mighty pendant]

Hi,
Is there a way to move my reserved space on Xbox to an external storage device?
I'm pretty much full on my internal storage, my external does not allow me to play series X games

[slow pagoda]

this may be better suited question for some microsoft/xbox server

or google

[mighty pendant]

yea it won't let me post in their community support channel for some reason

[slow pagoda]

dont know anything about that, youll have to ask around there I think.

[slow carbon]

No. Games have to only pull from one storage area

[west jasper]

Does anyone have an idea of when the LAVs will be added?

[terse cloak]

no

[west jasper]

Darn. The roadmap hasn’t been updated in 2 months

[terse cloak]

it gets updated when something that is covered by the roadmap gets added, first to exp and then stable

been 2 months since 1.2

[void reef]

Maybe someone has an answer for me , I haven’t changed my Key binds, yet for some reason when I push “ T “ to talk it says I’m talking on radio instead of local chat . And “ CAPS “ is the same as well. I play modded and unmodded with the same issue . I tried resetting the game key binds, but nothing .

[lucid tulip]

Is there a max detonator range for the C4 and TNT? if so what is it?

[tepid torrent]

There is, idk specially what it is for each detonator, but it should be no more than 200m

[lucid tulip]

IF IT IS that long ive been unable to detonate from closer ranges

[fast comet]

is there a way to stop locking onto items in gm mode on controller or a mod for it?

[azure meteor]

I think it is below 100m

[terse cloak]

100mish last time i checked

[elder ore]

I just remembered your claim of underpowered 127x108 and checked the rounds. The devs gave both 127x108 and 127x99 rounds the same damage value, but made the 99 have more initial speed and penetration. I only checked the ball rounds so far. The 108 should be a more powerful round but I'm not sure how to edit this to reflect realistic values (speed, penetration, etc).

[mighty pendant]

Is there a way to view gm history came back on the server everything gone.

[vivid tundra]

Why can I only pick up and drop stuff one at a time instead of just spamming the action button in the menu?

[foggy ridge]

idk, realism?

[sand verge]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61D6D6610F0598A6-OperationSavannah how do i play this map? it doesnt appear in scenarios

[exotic marsh]

Seems it has no scenarios

[dire dirge]

Does anyone know what mod adds the IVAS?

[wicked vine]

I think it will be before final strike

[celest granite]

I hope they add periscope functionality when they add

[elder ore]

Legit Question.

Should the FIA use soviet gear?

Like.. they have their own rifles which need the lifchik and chicom vests but belts, boots and other gear could be western, since Nato drove off the USSR in 1985.

US gear would work better with that weird swiss cammo.

[celest granite]

I think that the FIA faction should be a fully-fledged faction to play as so conflict could be alittle more then just always red vs blue

[west jasper]

Would probably have to make a new game mode for that to work

[celest granite]

Yesim

Would take alil effort but it shouldn't be "hard"

[west jasper]

I do think that if the AI FIA in conflict would make attacks on some bases and act like an actual insurgent/militia force it would be a nice change of pace.

My biggest issue with conflict as it sits is nothing drives the players to conflict with each other until the very end.

[tepid torrent]

m53 helmet for fia faction would look dope

would complete the look i think, bc atm they only got cap and beanie

[wicked vine]

Which M51

[hollow salmon]

Nope, and no mod as far as I'm aware

[hollow salmon]

Map creator needs to give it scenarios or someone with permission to do it instead

[tepid torrent]

sorry i mean m53, because it it czech it would fit in with fia arsenal

[grim iris]

You would need to make a conflict, GM or SF mission for the map.

[quartz skiff]

Anyone know what this is and how to get ride off it?

[radiant lotus]

nvidia performance overlay, alt r to hide

[quartz skiff]

Thxs

[flint dragon]

Hello, I sadly have to reset my pc to start settings and I'm affraid I will loose my mods im working at the workshop.
Is there a way to get back those files for cases like this?

[slow pagoda]

no.

back up any files you want to save on external drive or somewhere in the internet

[flint dragon]

I backed up just one mod. But when I paste it into the workbench folder it doesnt open up like it should.... it open empty pretty much

[fiery basin]

Hi there, i didn't play for over a year now and just have a quick question: Is it possible to rebind buttons on controllers now?

[fiery basin]

nvm my question, i just downloaded the game and checked, sad that BI is not able to deliver on a feature which is in basically almost every game in existence

[autumn dust]

what r u talking about? First of all by far the majority of game on console do NOT let you change the controls, and secondly in Arma you can...as far as I know

[wicked vine]

I would suck it up and adapt to the controller binds if i were you because this game is a goddamn gem mark my words

[autumn dust]

i think rebinding for gampad was added a while ago though...

[fiery basin]

aah, sorry i did not specify that i play on PC, my bad, and on PC you can rebind in almost every game.
Also you STILL can't rebind controller input after almost one year

[fiery basin]

had the game open, couldn't do it, maybe i was just blind?

[autumn dust]

i think there is a bit of user error here. I think first you need to unbind whatever is using the binding already before you can bind another action to it

what controller you are using for PC? It works best with a xbox controller

[fiery basin]

nonono, you missunderstand, i have a wheel, a Joystick and a throttle connected to my pc, and when i start Reforger, they are all bound in any way, which i dont want, and yes, i know i could unplug these, but that is not a solution because it will srew with the binds of other games

i dont want to use any controller binds

[fiery basin]

well, maybe a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very raw gem but yes...
But in all seriousness yes, reforger is a good first step in developing a better playable game 🙂

[wicked vine]

sorry if i was rude

[flint dragon]

Sorry guys for being ripetitive, but I would like to try ask again if there's someone who knows how to fix this...

Is there a way to load a mod preset when hosting a scenario

Individually enabling mods every time my friend and I wanna play is a little infuriating

[plain wraith]

Anybody working on a female body that doesn't have le melons so big that it gets removed!?

[woeful junco]

I know someone made one female body mod, ive never used it, but I think its not removed.

[foggy ridge]

I dont think it can be competently done without redoing all the animations because the shape of the frame of the body is different

so you'd end up with elongated arms just looking goofy af

[woeful junco]

just make them the same height

[golden skiff]

Has anyone know a solution for this I’ve deleted all my mods reset my internet and still nothing

[terse cloak]

Delete your mods from the addons folder

[golden skiff]

From my files on my PC?

[terse cloak]

Yeah addons folder

[golden skiff]

Okay I’ll do that once I get home

[spark rock]

"Compromised Hideouts"

What exactly are these things? The in-game description is not helpful. We snuck up on one and a 3-man enemy fireteam spawned in front of me. Was kind of weird.

Can these be captured? Couldn't see how.

[terse cloak]

no, its just a hideout thats compromised and you cant really do anything to it, just expect enemies on it.

[atomic meteor]

Im not sure if this is the right channel but does anyone know of any mod that adds rhs to mikes Fallujah pve?.

[woven charm]

What determines whether the character slings the weapon to the front versus holstering on the back?

[elder ore]

A grenade does.

[spark hound]

So does a pistol

[elder ore]

How about a banana?

[spark hound]

Yes

[slow carbon]

@atomic meteor search for RHS in vanilla inventory

That's one I use ^

[atomic meteor]

Is that the only one? I dont really like having the gear enabled. I just like the functionalities and strobes.

[slow carbon]

Atp I believe its that or nothing

Some one else- correct me if I'm wrong

[carmine pivot]

Posted this in the wrong channel by mistake last night:

Anyone installed the DIscord Player list mod, and do they have instructions for it (serverside)

[topaz whale]

Is there any specific reason why when I host a game of Arma Reforger my internet goes out? I can host/play WARNO, Wargame, and A3 for hours and never have anything affected but lately within 10-30 minutes of playing Arma Reforger my internet goes out. I was playing with one other person on Everon's Game Master with maybe 1 squad of friendly AI and 3 squads of enemy AI and I got disconnected. I reset the modem and router and got the game going again and then the same thing happened only this time with less AI still.

[chilly carbon]

Y'all, I SWEAR TO GOD. How do I see enemies before they see me (US only vanilla reforger)? I absolutely suck ass at spotting enemies, close and far, cover and none. I'm new, only 40 hours, quite a few of them in GM trying to learn the game.

dont play it like COD, take your time, and asses the environment before moving from cover, utilize all assets available to you including binoculars and other optics. simply asking teammates of enemy concentrations, positions, or directions can also help

[terse cloak]

Read the surrounding area before you move

Does anyone know why I nor my friends can local host. everytime I try joining my friends server or the other way around it say this

If anyone know how to fix this please DM me

[versed hill]

Is there any way to disable the text on the map that gives you your approximate location?

[spark hound]

Anyone know how to do advanced keybinds? I'm trying to make a Ctrl +1 bind but idk how

[tepid torrent]

you could mod it in

[versed hill]

Yeah, guess I was wondering if there was already a mod to do so

I tried searching, but I don't really know what that text is called

[tepid torrent]

It is probably a simple as reducing opacity of UI box, I will look into it in my free time

[versed hill]

Ok thanks. Also if you could point where to start I can take a look

[tired mulch]

Has Reforger been fixed for AMD GPUs on Linux yet?

[tired mulch]

It has still hard crashed my system after launch.

[thorn furnace]

There isn't any support for Linux, however at least some versions have worked wth AMD GPUs on Linux in the past: some people successfully tested running it on Steam Deck.

[tired mulch]

I was referring to:

Exception: GPU hangs!

[foggy ridge]

Hang in there

[quartz lance]

Is there any specific reason for the Reforger color scheme?
The orange ui color?

[elder ore]

Orange and black from VBS flavor. OD green, white and black would probably be more fitting.

[quartz lance]

Oh you are right they are using orange as well. 👍
Well i actually like the orange.
At first it was a bit strange/unusual but i've got used to it.

[elder ore]

Nah, the whole thing is just too dark. I mean its a military game set in the 80's.

[quartz lance]

Maybe one day we will get a option to customize it.

[woeful junco]

has it always been a problem?, you can try removing the drivers and downloading an older driver from amd and see if that fixes it, apparently 2060 users have been having hanging issues as well.

[tired mulch]

No, thats not possible without completely removing the new driver first.

[azure meteor]

I dont think the ui should be changed. Trying to make the UI match the "mood" or setting of a game tends to ruin the UI.

[spark hound]

Guys how do I make a keybind with multiple keys

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO JOIN HOSTED SERVERS

[mental trench]

my buddy and i are tring a player hosted through the game and it wont let me join him

i know it something to do with ports and shit but im ignorant and could use some help

[tepid torrent]

You need a port forwarded device, your network may not be able to facilitate multiplayer

[verbal mesa]

Look up how to port forward on your router model in googke

And when you need the actual numbers just google Arma Reforger ports

[sly plume]

Will arma reforger get things like tanks or attack helicopters like the cobra or the Hind

[tepid torrent]

no, this will be in A4. however there are mods that have been pumping out impressive tank and helicopters

why doesn't the game have full screen setting?

[vivid tundra]

🤯

[autumn hearth]

Hi,where is the mods folder located and how do I move it to another drive? Arma Ref

[magic pebble]

documents > my games > arma reforger > addons.

how to change it :

1. Go to your Steam library.
2. RMB on the game, and pick "properties".
3. In the "General" section, there are "LAUNCH OPTIONS".
4. Copy paste this into the box : ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -addonDownloadDir X:\ARMAMODS

NOTE : Make sure to change the "X" to the drive you want to download the mod in. And don't forget to CREATE a file in the drive with the name ARMAMODS

[wintry comet]

Were there any words from devs on them planning an ai driver control feature by giving him a keypress orders?

(e.g. MOVE FORWARD, FAST, TURN LEFT)

[autumn hearth]

thanks

[radiant marsh]

Sooner rather than later, a lot of this new update is preparing for PS players

[radiant marsh]

Newest experimental update has speed control for AI driving available, and you can give AI a rout, but you can only do this in editor not GM

[wintry comet]

But still no something as simple as I mentioned? Really sad

[terse cloak]

i mean we are still in 1.2

[wintry comet]

Well its been like two years

At least I hope addition of LAV-25 would bring that back

[terse cloak]

like 3 months since ai driving got added. not 2 years

[wintry comet]

I mean it must not be hard to make ai follow the user key presses but whatever

[magic pebble]

function justdoit(ai) dunuh
var sum = ai follow user key presses

the developers are welcome to use my code. shit is too easy sometimes.

if (code break and become a killer sentient ai)
shutdown and fix self

The developers can add this code too just in case shit goes south.

[tepid torrent]

hire this man

[verbal mesa]

RustyFork.Hire();

[tepid torrent]

foreach(skillIssue in devTeam)
{
skillIssue.Repair();
};

while(reforger == "broken")
{
RepairReforger();
};

"broken" doesn't deserve to be an enum

capitalization symbolizes the importance of the function 🤣

true, I think it was simplified to string form just so it could be converted in discord. any further improvement requests will require a feedback ticket 🤣

no they don't, i cant beleive i did this now that i look back 🤣

[untold shale]

Man got a code review of his joke and his PR got denied

[tepid torrent]

yeah, I think rusty is more suited for the job, i put semicolon on the end of a foreach loop 😆

[odd ridge]

is there a way to improve my connection to a modded server besides choosing servers with a low ping? Does using a VPN affect my connectivity to said servers(it probably is but I would like to hear some tips on it)?

[verbal mesa]

Exactly what I was thinking, I was crying at the review

[craggy snow]

hello to y'all fellas out there, I've been wondering for quite a while, I want to play Overthrow in a singleplayer format but i want to add into the scenario a bunch of mods, now I know I cant just host locally the scenario and enable into it mods cause it just doesn't work, I was wondering if there is anyone in here that can help me with some "dummy" explanation on how to do it properly? tnx/

[azure meteor]

the good thing about c++ is that it does not treat programmers like assholes

it allows you to put as much white space or empty lines as you want.
I read that in java or was it another language it forces indentation nad white space

which is stupid, because programming languages are a tool that should allow maximum freedom for the programmer to format how he wants.

[terse cloak]

python has indentations

[tepid torrent]

yeah, personally not a fan of any of these languages

[woeful junco]

rust is better than c++

[sullen salmon]

which host site is the best for price?

[verbal mesa]

Uniformity is key to readability

[errant folio]

Does anyone know if it's possible to enforce manual driving on a server?

[tepid torrent]

true, but when uniformity dictates syntax then it gets annoying

[verbal mesa]

Through a mod yes

[errant folio]

Oh interesting, do you happen to have a name for it?

[wise hazel]

Does anybody know of any good rank patches/insignia for the U.S. Army for reforger? I don't want to resort to Armbands.

[whole plover]

What mod puts the compass at the bottom middle of your screen?

[exotic marsh]

Coalition Squad Interface iirc

[fierce oar]

Hey guys! How do I enable fog in the game?

[shut bison]

Its in GM game properties i think

[fierce oar]

Nop

[flint trench]

Anyone have any idea how the ‘Antistasi Refogered’ mod is coming along?

[rough spear]

Lovely lol. Leave it to bohemia to keep us surprised lol

[radiant marsh]

That may be part of it 😂

This is just an assumption, but I think we may get more than there showing to us, unlike most experimental updates. But I wouldn’t get your hopes up because I may just be coping 😂

[drowsy geode]

Once Reforger supports HOTAS, will this include steering wheel & pedals?

[fathom path]

Would anyone know how to copy the US arsenal to the Russian side same way with vehicle depos

[verbal mesa]

I hope so, all I'll be doing is driving

[foggy steppe]

@signal spruce Hi ^_^

Can you please tell me if there will be short tips, as you already do on Twitter about supplies that are hidden and increasing the volume of the radio due to supplies nearby?

It seems that such life hacks will be useful, few people know about them

[terse cloak]

will vehicles have a overhaul similar to when the guns changed. Id like to have a uaz469 with a spinny transmission axle

[tepid torrent]

spinny transmission axel, like the drive shaft? I think that would be great visual, especially on the trucks

[terse cloak]

THE buhanka has it

[tepid torrent]

but not the rest?

[terse cloak]

i dont think so

[tepid torrent]

criminal, almost discriminatory

[void reef]

is there anyway to make the FIA friendly in GM?

[drowsy geode]

will only be friendly against unarmed soldiers

[elder ore]

Don't you think there are better things they could do? I mean you don't even see it when playing. I only noticed because of workbench/WE.

[terse cloak]

you do

[elder ore]

I'd rather have more driver/input animations tbh. But if they don't even have the time to fix the bugs I doubt they will do much more.

[drowsy geode]

vehicles in these old pictures looks super sharp

[tepid torrent]

these are pre rendered scenes, the vehicles in game look much better now actually, check the footage of diving on launch

[verbal mesa]

What is a transmission axle?

[terse cloak]

its not the actual name for it i think but its that bar in the middle of that pick

[verbal mesa]

That is a driveshaft

Also called propeller or prop shaft in some places

Only in rear wheel drive or all and 4 wheel drive vehicles

So rule of thumb, axles always connect the wheels to a differential

[terse cloak]

ok

[verbal mesa]

I would love to see those animated too though 😅

[tepid torrent]

given the engine is at a different elevation to the axle the shaft requires a linkage in the middle to ensure spin is maintained while also changing angle of orientation, this makes for quite a spectacle when viewing under cars and especially on trucks

animating this could also give some time for BI to clean up some vehicle models, especially weights, idk if it is still a thing but sterring would affect the geometry of leaf springs in some cases, minor detail but I cant unsee it

I would also like the rigging of antennas so they bounce and sway with air passing them, along with additional bones for crew compartment hatches on btr

[austere nimbus]

I would prefer more assets to play with over a moving antenna which 99% won't ever notice.

[tepid torrent]

But they bounced around in ofp 😅

[tepid torrent]

I am glad to be in the 1% 😆

[void reef]

when locally hosting, how do you get modded maps/ senerios to pop up in the menu?

[worldly flame]

is there any difference in building the large barracks over the small one? because it seems like the AI limit for both large and small is still 10. like are the AI more skilled if you have a large barracks?

[elder ore]

Is there anyway to increase LOD inside the PiP scopes? When I scope the game looks like PS era 3d models. It wasn't like this in the other ones.

Didn't the LOD used to adjust when we used magnified optics in the past'

?

[tepid torrent]

It is very inconsistent

[elder ore]

I thought PiP scopes were a big deal but they are useless like this. Compare to binoculars.

Normal 2D scopes work better..

[verbal mesa]

So they work differently now or something?

[elder ore]

No idea. Binoculars and 2d scopes zoom the whole picture. Pip's zooms the optic area but the LOD remains the same. Left is M21 PiP, right is binoculars. PiP is worthless like this.

I think this "feature" deserves some feedback.

[verbal mesa]

Pip especially with the adjustable focus intensity is awesome imo but yes it not reacting with the LODs correctly is likely not intended

[radiant marsh]

This could be a bug, if not it definitely should be changed because that’s a really big issue.

[tepid torrent]

Pip scopes need a volume projecting from lense that render grass out further and swaps to appropriate lods

[elder ore]

I might put this in feedback, or not. (I don't think user feedback passes through).

[fluid gazelle]

Does anyone know which mods that has no AI involvement in similar to official conflict?

Hello, what's JIP ERROR?

[verbal mesa]

I wonder if vote kicking required and showed more information it could work.. For example, when initiating a vote kick, it asks you a reason that you have to select and if it is team killing it displays a proof feed of the team kill and how

Red killed red2(AK-74)

Because as of right now it's in the air and you could easily lie

Some people kick others so their friends can join the game

This would automatically filter a lot of that bullshit and people can determine if it is bullshit or not.

[verbal mesa]

Join In Progress Error

[flint dragon]

This is what it says

Ok, it was a mod i
I HAD... seems like it was non capatible with a map

[earnest prairie]

ok this is probably gonna be one of the dumbest questions of all time but i can't get my character to take their freakin hand off of the ignition once the engine statrs, how do I get them to put their hand back on the wheel

[terse cloak]

are you holding the engine igniction button the whole time or you let go

[earnest prairie]

i let go once the engine starts

[elder ore]

Its a small bug. Get out, get back in and it should go away.

[earnest prairie]

okay, thank you.

[twilit mirage]

Hey, was the crossplay issues solved yet? Been a min since I've been on.

What crossplay issue

[twilit mirage]

I'll have an answer from someone else then pls

[digital crane]

never was crossplay issues?

[twilit mirage]

What Mandela effect is going on here.

There was a crossplay issue where you cannot host a crossplay server. Or did yall forget this?

I'm wondering if this has been fixed.

[twilit mirage]

Has it been fixed or not

I don't need a response of my own comment. As that was hosing dedicated servers. Not in game servers.

Why are you so hard to get a yes or no from.

no the one below that, the darkwolf one

Hi all...

Can I play combat ops - Everon with just friends, and save our progress? This is on Xbox series X.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as we'd love to play but not if we can't save our game or start a new one together etc.

Many thanks.

[terse cloak]

you cant host a server on a xbox

[fading sinew]

Hey! I am new to Arma Reforger. Enjoying the Game so far! Something what really interrupts the consolish feeling (😂) is, that I sometimes have problems joining server (community) with mods and also loosing server connection from time to time?! Are these problems known/common or are there „solutions“? Thx

[terse cloak]

Not really

[fading sinew]

Problems known or Solutions?

where is the question... also im sure this is not fake at all.

[jolly kraken]

I'm having the following issues with Reforger out of nowhere ....

• Holding Left shift when in the vehicle order menu will not rotate a vehicle
• Pressing C to mount weapon (but LeftCntrl+C works to deploy the bipod)
• Right mouse button on the map will not open the context wheel

This is bizarre... I have verified integrity of game cache and have no software or OS changes

[fathom path]

Someone please give me some details on how I go about doing this. I want to be able to edit what vehicles go in set faction. If I want a little bird in the USSR side how do I do that? I Josh want to be able to make vehicles universal I don’t care about doing it with guns and clothing items when I can GM them to save that together just vehicles only

[tiny latch]

Noted, counterpoint, F1+F1+F3

I could also see it being really easy to have the AI go full blown jelly brained

like you say take cover behind that tree and it fucks off somewhere else

I guess it would be nice to have ai squads hooked up to at least basic commands

[twilit junco]

if i set up truck with supplies and arsenal in woods as well deployed radio, would the garbage cleaner remove those entities ?

[terse cloak]

yeah truck would get removed

[twilit junco]

shame, i thought if any storage with supplies connected to deployed radio will stay

[verbal mesa]

It'll stay for quite a decent amount of time though

[sturdy adder]

No

[sturdy adder]

Damn

[eternal timber]

Hi all, I have a couple of questions!

1. I assume that people here are aware that the Orienteering mod is not working in the current game version (especially since it was promoted by an official arma video not that long ago). Is there any word from the creator about fixing it?
2. Is the source code of mods uploaded to the workshop available to end users? I have some programming experience and I could have a go at trying to fix it myself, if the original creator does not want to.
3. I guess same question about the Where Am I mod - couldn't get it to run, I assume because something was broken in an update.
4. Is this even the right channel to ask these questions?

[elder ore]

Try contacting the bacon body odor (wtf) guy for Orienteering. Where Am I is more of a cheat so no great loss there.

[eternal timber]

oh lmao I just reread the mod description and I really completely misunderstood it. I thought it's like a mini game similar to orienteering, where it teleports you and you need to mark your position with the red circle In this case it works completely as advertised, and I'll be removing it haha

[eternal timber]

but about the other thing, I don't know how to contact them, since the workshop username is not clickable, and there is no one on this server with this username. Is there something I'm missing and you can find more details about the uploader on the workshop?

[elder ore]

Sorry . The guy must have deleted his account and moved on.

[golden sand]

Does anyone know if the game itself has created a roleplay scenario like in Arma 3?

[strong frigate]

Any idea when the Server Joining Queue update is coming out? Really waiting to play until thats in.

[terse cloak]

Nope

[strong frigate]

yeah the whole constant clicking to get into the servers I want to play is just too tedius.

[terse cloak]

Just wait a few weeks or more weeks or even months or years

[strong frigate]

crazy that the game even launched without such a basic feature haha

[quartz lance]

Isn't it on experimental right now?

[terse cloak]

It is

[terse cloak]

Its on experiemental btw.

[strong frigate]

yeah I know - that is good news

Anyway, RHS is putting out a ton of really great content. Anyone know of a YouTube channel or something that does tutorials/showcases on the various equipment or vehicles? The official RHS channel hasn’t put out an video in like a year

[strong frigate]

Any TrackIR users here - Im having trouble getting my trackir adjusted for reforger. Have no issues in A3. Basically when Im ADSing, a lot of times my view will be slightly off center from the sights which makes aiming an issue. How do I configure my trackir settings to solve this?

[woeful junco]

you either configure track ir to work with a deadzone or your toggle it on and off. really not complicated.

[thin saddle]

is anyone here hosting a server from GTX? If so, please reach out I need some assistance setting up auto admin login for xbox user.

[tardy rune]

you can go into the rhs showcase scenario and it has everything added laid out to play around with. theres also a wiki/documentation site that explains some of the advanced systems and how to use them, can be found in the pins of their thread

[strong frigate]

Nice - thanks

Check to make sure you have a chat entity.

[mighty obsidian]

Does anyone know what is wrong with this I can’t figure it out

[foggy ridge]

json is invalid

[mighty obsidian]

Do you know I can fix it?

[foggy ridge]

its like grammar, it will make sense once you learn json format

[mighty obsidian]

?

[eager sandal]

like C++ if you don't end the line with a semicolon ; it will pop an error. I don't know json format so, yeah. that what mr bacon mean

[grim iris]

You have scenarioid twice

[mighty obsidian]

Well now I feel like an idiot

@grim iris thank you

[frosty glade]

Hi. If i wanted to start a server for me and 2 other people to mess around with mods or setup some private operations, what would be the process to do that? If I need to create a server, would anyone be willing to talk me through the steps of creating one?

[frosty glade]

To clarify, the vision is that I want to set up a mission my friends can play while i am a GM controlling everything. It would just be us 3. But i’m not sure if that requires a dedicated server, or a local server where i can create it instantly and play (which we’ve tried and they’ve been unable to join because it says connection error)

[elder ore]

Did you try this? https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/boot-camp-host-your-own-game Setting up a dedi is harder and makes no sense if its only 3 ppls.

[frosty glade]

I will try this, thank you!

[frosty glade]

My buddy isnt able to join, it says connection error, we are playing with mods but Its hard to know what is actually causing the issue. Would you or anyone know of any fixes for this?

[round vigil]

How do I open a ticket for something related to reforger

[grim iris]

https://feedback.bistudio.com/

[grim iris]

Try with no mods first. If it works, it's a mod issue. If it doesn't work it is probably a port forwarding issue or something similar.

[stray blade]

This error ussualy means server not reachable by client.
Either server is setup incorrectly or ports on server are closed and neet to be port forwarded

[elder ore]

I used to think replication errors were caused by unmatching data between client and server.

[stray blade]

But this is connection failure

[elder ore]

Indeed.

[stray blade]

That would be RDB missmatch

[foggy ridge]

JIP error, script mismatch, RDB mismatch... etc

[surreal wigeon]

Hello everyone, does anyone know why I can't go into the editor by myself with mods? I just want to set bots and play by myself with some mods

On my reforger server, if I am not in the vehicle, the vehicle disappears. It's like deleting an entity. But this term is too fast. How can I adjust it? Should I do it in JSON?

[mellow cosmos]

Question for developers regarding the next-update; Will cross-loading equipment onto different articles of clothing be something viable? I notice that when you put things into different articles of clothing there's a bar that shades in green, yellow, and red.

I assume if one balanches their equipment amongst everything(keeping their inventories in the green and yellow) will this lesson the impact of weight on the player?

For Context; In the Infantry, We're taught to distribute our equipment amongst our clothing/gear evenly; to get a balanced weight-distribution to help with muscle fatique in certain-areas.

[woeful junco]

no, its just a indicator, luckily the devs are smart enough to not add in such unneeded dross. player encumbrance is tied to the total carried.

[strong frigate]

Anyone know if we can expect some sort of character/face customizer for Arma R/4? Would love to pick how my guy looks, tattoos, facial hair - shit like that

[strong frigate]

is there a hide all hud button that we can press to take screenshots? Game is too good looking to have all the UI clutter ruining screens

[odd ridge]

does anyone know if there any plans to fix that vehicle bug where the gears are stuck, forcing you to turn off assisted driving to fix the issue?

Also to give more context, it happens inconsistently but tends to occur when I either crash(with no damage) and then reverse OR stop the car, get out, and then get back in only to find out I can't reverse or go forward

[elder ore]

I think that's something to do with the doors.

[odd ridge]

how so and how can I avoid it?

[elder ore]

Don't drive.

Try flying instead. Also report it or bring it up in experimental, maybe a dev will have a look at it.

[feral loom]

#reforger_experimental

[tepid torrent]

by default the load bearing system is the combination of all pouches into one group of slots, so it would be safe to assume the distribution would be evened out, over encumbrance is more so the total effect of weight on the player and their ability to move

[buoyant oyster]

json invalid

Anyone know how to fix the error where you try to load up a map and it gives you an error

[sharp gyro]

Is it possible to give your self rank in dedicated server?

[shut bison]

Maybe with a mod

[sharp gyro]

You can do it via GM but you eventually get demoted for friendly fire even if you didnt do anything.

[grim iris]

There is a mod that makes you start at LT rank. Can't think of the name of it at the moment though

[grim steeple]

Players. What's your video card of choice with reforger?
Am considering rtx 4070 ti from 3060. Cannot manage more than 30+ fps.

[magic pebble]

get a 4090 if you want stable 40 fps

[haughty robin]

4080 works nicely

depends on what you're happy with - playing on servers that have unoptimized mods and wanting to put quality settings to full and wanting more than 2k view distance is going to take a lot more strain than vanilla on everything set to medium

[foggy ridge]

just get the 4080 super at that point, I play reforger comfortably on it

[terse cloak]

4070 TI SUPER works well

[foggy ridge]

TI SUPER

[elder ore]

That's far from true. Best bang for buck is probably the 4070 Ti super. 4080 runs amazing but probably not much better than one of the supped up 4070's.

[tepid torrent]

I have a potato with red wires connected to my PC, so performance isn't an issue

[tiny plover]

quicke question. is there a program better than blender for makeing weapon/vehicle models? as a solidworks engineer i find blender quite uncomfertable to use?

[grim steeple]

This is what I've been reading also.

[magic pebble]

i tested almost all high end gpus. you are good if you are having 2v2 in a forest, but any meaningful combat situation inside a town, and 40 is the max fps you are getting.

do note, this testing took place almost a year ago.

[elder ore]

Describe meaningful. I'll have a go.

[magic pebble]

to me personally, it means a squad v squad, so 12v12.

[feral loom]

don't buy now
rtx 5000 release in few months i think
rtx 4000 should get a price cut then

4090 was discontinued

[verbal mesa]

4090 was discontinued what??

[feral loom]

better to not buy anything lower than 4070 Ti Super

[terse cloak]

yeah i bought that a month ago

[feral loom]

16 GB video memory is what one should get
12 GB starts to be a problem

[terse cloak]

3070 was pissing me off due to the 8gb of vram

Have you ever done vertex modelling before? I know rhs does cad models and then re topologies them in 3ds, so you eventually would need to use a vertex based workflow

How does one find there hidden code to be verified I can't seem to find it?

[azure meteor]

I have 4060 and if I play on the 128 player server I get 40-45 fps on high settings. With AI the fps tends to go down to 25

[elder ore]

Its Gauze. More specifically Gauze_02.et

[thick quest]

Is it something that will be added to the medical system or is it just a prop?

[elder ore]

Its just an unused item. Gauze.et is the model you see when you apply a field dressing. It could be put to use on the civilian side.

[thick quest]

Fair enough. Thank you! The newest post from Bi just made me curious 👀

[molten meteor]

guess i'll post here too, since no one answered in either of the othe channels:

Has something changed with the Command trucks? I can't get the "Deploy" option to show up in a Gamemaster mode. Is it just disabled for that mode by default or is there something else i'm missing here? I've tried every combination of with radio pack, without, it's in radio range of a Command tent, has supplies, supply usage disabled on the server, etc.

Do i need to be the right rank to deploy them, even in Gamemaster? is that it?

Any help would be appreciated.

[tepid torrent]

I don't think deploying MHQ is an option in GM

[molten meteor]

i originally thought it was mods blocking it, but when i went vanilla it wouldn't let me do it either

is there no way to enable that in Gamemaster?

[tepid torrent]

Try checking scenario settings, there could be an option I missed that might re enable their functionality

[molten meteor]

yeah ive looked, but the only thing i can find is radio respawns

[slow pagoda]

dont crosspost same stuff on multiple channels

as per #rules

[molten meteor]

is that in #rules? i don't see it listed anywhere. all i see is "use channels correctly"

[slow pagoda]

yes it is

[molten meteor]

which rule # is it?

youre that kind of person then eh

[sour path]

heres the question should i get reforger been rlly bored lately loved arma 3 should i get reforger

[sour path]

is anyone gonna tell me

[tepid torrent]

Reforger is unlimited fun when you are on a good server or with mates, so yes

[sour path]

how do i know what are good servers

[tepid torrent]

You will probably want to aim for populated community servers, official vanilla ones have troll problems atm

[sour path]

okk

[scenic tusk]

Hey, guys,
How can I restrict some weapons and sights for certain players and other players have access to other material?

[spark hound]

Segregation

[dawn flare]

Does anyone know if theres MNK support on Xbox?

[terse cloak]

yes

[dawn flare]

Brill, cheers

[celest plume]

@sour path The content is not as vast as an arma game, but there is still a lot of things to do, and thanks to modders, there is a lot of mod content.
The visuals are better and it is really nice to always have a great framerate.
The framerate and mods alone make it worth it to me.
But the sounds, mother of god the sounds, they are wonderful.
If you enjoy arma, and are ok with not as much content, then you will enjoy this.
But expect to mod it, and the system now pulls mods for you automatically, so it is pretty easy to join any server.

[ruby path]

Is there plans to make this available on Mac with apple silicone via steam? I currently play arma 3 and would love to be able to try reforger

[half locust]

no plans

[violet python]

sorry for the dumb newbie question but.. deploying bipod in reforger doesn't seem to be as world changing as deploying bipod in arma 3 anyone noticed this too? or perhaps i am doing something Ron?

[terse cloak]

wdym

[foggy ridge]

I think Ron doesnt mind

[tepid torrent]

reforger allows you to mount on many more surfaces whilst also having added functionality to move or adjust your weapon accordingly. it does still need a bit more tweaking

[violet python]

i just mean that in reforger, it seems liek the recoil is already quite manageable w/o the bipod deployed and then after deployment not feel'n a difference, i don't get it

[terse cloak]

yeah barely any recoil and super controllable

[coral jewel]

what about distant grass rendering (or distant model rendering), are you still working on it, or it has stopped on the 300m grass rendering distance?

What I mean is an implementation of certain technique that would properly hide objects (especially players) beyond grass rendering distance when they're should be covered by grass. Currently there is no such thing implemented, and models that are futher away can be easily spoted.

[tepid torrent]

yeah the recoil in reforger is realistic, but there is to little sway in my personal opinion

[plucky karma]

Where 1.3 it’s time

[terse cloak]

we are on 1.2.1 in exp

[plucky karma]

I ask nothing about on which build we currently are

[terse cloak]

well how is 1.3 supposed to come when 1.2.1 is hasnt come to stable

[plucky karma]

Well just same as previous.. get it stable and release 1.3 exp

[magic pebble]

easy peasy.

[tepid torrent]

the devs have finished the whole game already, they just keep forgetting to drip feed us the updates because of how much fun they are having playing it 😄

[magic pebble]

the development of the game will go much faster if the developers realised they can simply will anything into existence without any effort or time.

[sullen vortex]

Where can I find a sample server config for a 128 person server?

You're damn right I do mind

[cosmic bay]

If I purchase the regular version of the game can I upgrade to the deluxe later on or would it still be full price?

[mystic crown]

any super chill servers i can play without much communication? i love the gunplay and there isnt much like it but sometimes too tired to focus and go all milsim

[mystic crown]

would be kinda full price, you can buy the soundtrack but the wallpapers and maps etc you gotta buy deluxe edition again

[cosmic bay]

thanks and is the pdf maps worth it, or not really useful?

[mystic crown]

not useful at all imo, you can find lesser quality but still decent maps on the internet, you can also find cool wallpapers of arma reforger on the internet too prolly, its really meant if you just wanna give more money to support the devs

you wont be missing out on anything

[cosmic bay]

thanks again, I was about to purchase the game but couldn't find much about the deluxe version so I wanted a opinion on it

[mystic crown]

no prob! enjoy the game its truly something really good

[grim iris]

Can Armavision (full roaming access) be granted to a player without admin access on a dedicated server?

[shut cosmos]

That's how it works by default in unmodded servers? (joined dedicated server Official 13502424 to try, I also occasionally play on a small dedicated server on LAN that I use for practice/solo play and I don't have myself signed in as admin for most of the time, or have mods installed)

[grim iris]

Apologies, I ment the full roaming access. Not the locked to player view. OP edited.

[shut cosmos]

ah you changed your question now, so you mean "Can a player have Armavision with extended range?" Probably? I haven't tried modding that section of the game personally but you cannot extend the range of Armavision without modifying the game AFAIK

[grim iris]

Admins have full access. I can fly around in Armavision.

Just wanted to give some access to players who I don't want to give admin access.

[shut cosmos]

Yes I am aware, btw players already can access Armavision without needing admin access(how else would I be able to do so on an Official server?) so the matter would be wether or not you could have similar range to GM/Admin view

[grim iris]

Yeah, I am aware that all players have access to Armavision which is locked to the player. Just wasn't sure if there was an option available to give someone full roaming armavision access without admin access.

[shut cosmos]

Like I said, you could probably make a mod that changes the range allowed, however I have not tried doing that yet so I cannot confirm this. I am fairly certain, in my 4k+ hours of playing and modding the game, that you cannot change this range value with the vanilla content of the game. (hence, you could probably do it with a mod)

It WOULD be really cool if there was a way to tweak it in the server mission config parameters in the json I might add

[grim iris]

If I had the skill, I would remake GCAM from A3.

[ancient rapids]

I would love the ability to give certain players admin but not GM.

[thorn furnace]

I know "mod it yourself" gets old, but that sounds like an easy one.

Has anyone had an issue where the location of mods for reforger just... moves? disappears? It is no longer in any folder in my common, and I cannot find them in my computer at all, but they are usable.

[foggy ridge]

default location is Documents/My Games/ArmaReforger/addons

[coarse mist]

How can I save my scenarios progress? I clicked save and return to main menu only to find later that my progress was not saved

[coarse mist]

why is there not instructions for creating a dedicated server on windows in the documentation

[elder ore]

Its so you give linux a try.

[coarse mist]

thats fair, and I would love to, but I have my reasons for staying on windows

thankfully I was just stupid and dont need to make a server

i wanna like this game but good god singleplayer is impossible, im trying to figure out how to save my progress and nothing is working

[verbal mesa]

go into game master, in te top left is a save option

[bronze raft]

Mod limit a bi thing or Microsoft thing

[mighty obsidian]

Does anyone know what this means?

[coarse mist]

does it save the progress? or just like the changes you make to the map

[coarse mist]

remove the comma

[mighty obsidian]

Wtf why did that work

[coarse mist]

coding will make you hate everything

[tepid torrent]

upload full code and i am sure someone can spot an off character or incorrect brace somewhere

[coarse mist]

he just needed to remove the comma like i said

[tepid torrent]

oh it working, good should have read above 😅

[eternal timber]

Hi! I see that the navigation in arma video was taken private and they reuploaded a new version without all the Orienteering content just the day after I asked questions about it At anyrate, since I see that @random oriole made the video together with bacon body odor, I wanted to reach out to him through you, since I see no other way to contact him.

TLDR does he plan on fixing the scenario? If not then is there a way to fix it ourselves? I'm not familiar with arma modding, and I don't see a way to load the scenario in editor mode, like it was possible in previous armas - I guess all of this is handled through the standalone editor tools now?

[ivory flame]

Hey all, keep getting GPU hangs in Reforger which cause the game to crash. Any suggestions?

[terse cloak]

if 2060, revert driver

[ivory flame]

kk, thx

[random oriole]

Unfortunately bacon has been MIA for several months now and I'm not able to contact him either. I tried modding the scenario but it wont open in workbench for me.

[eternal timber]

I see, hope he's okay. The fact that it doesn't open even in the editor tool is weird - I guess there must have been some major incompatible changes in the modding API in the previous update.

I guess if that's the case then the mod is lost forever since I don't see a way to downgrade Reforger in steam to try and fix it there, and it might just be easier to create a new orienteering like mod from scratch (and since Bohemia privated the video showing it in action it's going to be a bit more demanding on the design side)

[sullen vortex]

A server is using a server name that is exactly the same as the one I have been using for 3 months. Is it legal to do this?

germany host my server

england host klon

Is it legal to do this in arma reforger?

[magic pebble]

Don;t know about legal, but bohemia will not do anything about it.

[verbal mesa]

Ceo of bacon? He still posts in here quite frequently I think

[terse cloak]

No another bacon

[verbal mesa]

Ohhh ok

Such a weird name to have multiples lol

[terse cloak]

bacon body odor is the bacon they are talking about

[tepid torrent]

yeah i have talked to the ceo not long ago, he seemed very legitimate bacon

[verbal mesa]

LOL

[tepid torrent]

one needs to be just named ham from now on, i know they arent the same, but its the closest i can think of

[elder ore]

I think there's nothing to stop this atm, but the terms of use of the software shouldn't allow it. And there should be a list of community servers with the owners details and starting date on this discord, and a list of offending servers that should be reported to the providers and made unplayable.

Very shitty thing to do.

[foggy ridge]

there is also no link between server and game account

so you COULD delete those people if they are operating with obviously bad intent but you can't prove they run that server, since you can run servers for free

[sullen vortex]

We also have a squad server and it is impossible to do this in squad, but having a community server in armada is seriously tiring.

[gleaming folio]

Is there way to remove TeamKill Autoban?

[elder ore]

You need a steam account to download the server.

I think

Or not.. I think not.

Anyway doing this is disgusting and should bring great shame to whoever does it.

[woeful junco]

whats wrong with that? its free, you dont need to own the game to host a server

[elder ore]

The discussion was about people who copy someone else's server, and what should be done about it.

[cosmic bay]

I keep getting a Session error when trying to join a sever. It says Kick cause "Replication". Is their something I can do about it?

[coarse mist]

I dont see a save button, and what about for scenarios not meant to be used with game master

[cold mist]

Why was the ability to place bushes removed from game master

Pointless removal i loved using them

yes it is legal to do so. unless u have copy righted the name you are wanting to use. no DMCA action can be taken against the server owner who is using the name

maybe it should be a rule that you can use someone elses server name though.

since its what internet calls a dick move

FNG PS5 console pleb here...really looking forward to this title coming to PlayStation. General consensus question - in the games current state, does ARMA Reforger's console based infrastructure support clan-event environment? Such as 'matches' or 'wars,' for lack of a better term?

[terse cloak]

You can do whatever you want when you host a server aslong as you got a gamemode for it, on xbox and pc. for ps5 idk

we dont really have info for ps5, other than the gamescom interviews

PS5 when?

[gleaming holly]

After the Wii U release of Reforger

[runic tree]

Good thing I still have my wii u ready to go

[gleaming holly]

Lol, in all seriousness there's some speculation that either when 1.2.1 is pushed to stable or shortly after that we'll get an announcement about exact ps5 release dates. Afaik BI has not given any concrete info regarding the ps5 release other than to say "its coming"

[runic tree]

Please bohemian I beg

[terse cloak]

Read the links i put literally above

[gleaming holly]

Oh shit i didnt even see that, thanks

[woeful junco]

sell both of them and get the pc

[runic tree]

Still wouldn't be enough for pc

[terse cloak]

Sigmuh male

[runic tree]

At least the pc I want

Plus I don't really need a pc all the games I like are on console or coming to console so

[woeful junco]

well the console verisons of the game are very limiting ps5 probably more so than what we see on xbox

[runic tree]

Yeah only downside too them really for me i hope tho sony is lenient when it comes to mods but that's wish at best and a un likely reality at worst

[verbal mesa]

I doubt Sony will allow modding so it might only be vanilla. Which tbh vanilla is in a pretty good state

[runic tree]

A man can hope

[half locust]

there will be no mods available for ps5 version of reforger at release

[runic tree]

At release there's hope.

I'm coping

[half locust]

not really, considering sony’s TOS

[runic tree]

Yeah

[tepid torrent]

we need to get someone in there

infiltrate sony administration and give arma the green flag

we will name the operation: "operation thunder strike", I know very original

[runic tree]

Arma already has the green flag it's just 3rd party modding has been very taboo ever since 2011 in sony's case

[terse cloak]

Take a look at the links that i provided above

[runic tree]

Both or only 1?

[terse cloak]

Both

[runic tree]

That actually gives me alot of hope thanks mate

Mods need QA to ensure they don't brick the game or cause performance problems.

[verbal mesa]

It's completely understandable why they have the position they do in it does it suck yeah but what else is there to do.

[verbal mesa]

[ancient rapids]

Buy a PC and become a PC gamer! I saw plenty of former Xbox players do this on dayz where Xbox couldn't have mods, and people bought PCs and were blown away by the mods.

Top comment from those convert players: "dude this is like a whole other game!!!"

I guess I won't have to worry about an influx of new players after all as I only run modded servers.

[runic tree]

I can't afford a PC

[ancient rapids]

I'm just saying, that's what else there is to do.

Could maybe sell your PlayStation to help pay for a PC

[cold mist]

Yikes

Vanilla reforger lacks so much its a snooze fest hopefully at some point they can get mods

[verbal mesa]

I love vanilla reforger

[cold mist]

I cant stand it

[celest granite]

It's very focused at pvp
It's It's hard for most of the fandom to enjoy as it is atm as a vast portion of the fandom is very pve focused
But ultimately it's a good foundation

[cold mist]

Not even enough pve features to enjoy that

Reforger just lacks a lot in both areas

[winter mist]

how is this gonna work when added

[alpine cradle]

I would image that both teams start with a HQ and some construction trucks. Then you drive out to somewhere within the radio range of the HQ. Build a forward base, antenna etc and then do the same further out, slowly extending your range.

The biggest unknown is what the victory conditions will be. Maybe only purple objectives will be the fixed base locations in the future.

[grim iris]

I wonder if it would show the radio range on the map

[alpine cradle]

Most likely

[stray blade]

Or you will just get notification when you get outside like it is now.

And it will just list ranges.
Its also possible that only faction commander will be able to designate build site, like placing down ghost from GM interface and players will have to go build it. And GM interface will show range

[alpine cradle]

[winter mist]

Yea that's more what I meant. Is how they'll do the purple capture points

[fossil condor]

update when

[slow pagoda]

oh dammit, everytime someone ask it gets postponed by a week.

now its like 58 years already

[foggy ridge]

rest in pepperoni

[fossil condor]

good update when

[slow pagoda]

jokes aside. updates happen when they area ready. there will not be any more specific answer for such question. so no need to ask in the future.

[opaque shuttle]

Hi
Are there SP mission scenarios like it is in Arma 3 available for reforger?

[slow pagoda]

not like in A3

[opaque shuttle]

They in reforger workshop?

[slow pagoda]

if there are any, yes thats where you would find them. but I dont think there are much

[terse cloak]

theres escapists thats like escape.

[opaque shuttle]

Yeah those were the only I could find

Workbench related I assume

[slow pagoda]

that and less AI logics

combat ops is what you can try out I recall

[opaque shuttle]

Yeah those I'm dipping into

[scenic tusk]

Hello, I build a light mission on Enfusion Workbench. Published on Workshop and make the download, all fine.
But I can't find the mission, It's already on mod manager... any suggestion?

[grim iris]

Did you add a mission header to your scenario?

[scenic tusk]

yes I did.
I already managed to put it how it should be

[grim iris]

Do you have a link to your mod on the workshop?

[scenic tusk]

It's private, sorry :x!
but it already works

[grim iris]

Oh, so it's all working now?

[scenic tusk]

yap! everything is fine!

[scenic tusk]

don't worry, i'll make something for all

[elder ore]

Does the BTR ammo ignite/cook or whatever? Its the green boxes inside in a composition..

[magic pebble]

hitting them will set the btr on fire

[elder ore]

Ok, its the only vehicle that does this so it wouldn't be bad if I got rid of it?

[magic pebble]

get rid of the btr?

[elder ore]

Nah, the ammo. All other vehicles have ammo too, maybe not the same caliber but still.

[woeful junco]

14.5 ammo = insta deaf

[magic pebble]

I would rather that add it to the other vehicles rather than removing it from the btr. although, hitting a box of ammo setting the vehicle on fire is not ideal

[elder ore]

I added some ammo boxes to the others, that get deleted as they are spent, but IDK what to do with the BTR. I mean there's fire extinguishers inside it that we cant use, plus some of the others were carrying invisible .50 cal.. I mean if the shells are pierced and there's a fire something bad would happen, but not just the BTR.

[winter mist]

how is the lav 25 gonna work when it gets added. 25mm gun is just gonna mog everything else the russian side had

[stable topaz]

That's already the case with the BTR's 14.5mm gun. It's still a thinly armoured IFV.

[mighty pendant]

Yo how hard would making mods be if I don't have the game on pc. I only have it on Xbox and like I got years of programming experience I just wanna make a mod with a better radio lol

[stable topaz]

You can't mod without owning the game on PC. Mod tools come free with the Steam game version.

[mighty pendant]

Ohh ok I thought you could like get mod tools off bi site or something. Thanks tho more of a reason to buy the game on steam lol

[stable topaz]

No worries

[mighty pendant]

@stable topaz is there docs for it I can study on before buying it

[ancient rapids]

There's the wiki on their website

[mighty pendant]

Bet

[elder ore]

Gramps looks like that because he read the whole wiki.

[mighty pendant]

Dw I won't be reading the whole thing I'll be skimming it while I pull my hair out

Be looking like Terry Davis by the end of it

[stable topaz]

Plenty of youtube vids too!

[lucid tulip]

Yeah a can of small arms ammo is not a stowage of tank shells. Wouldn't expect it to cause an engine fire or some chain reaction explosion if hit.

[lean moth]

How do i change the teams on a scenario? on the scenario we are playing on my server (escapists) its the vanilla russian and american teams, I installed RHS onto it how can I swap the RHS Factions for the vanilla factions

[grim iris]

Installing RHS only adds the RHS factions and their gear/weapons etc. the scenario Escapist is setup to use the vanilla factions.

You would need to use a mod that replaces the vanilla factions with RHS or find a scenario that has already changed it.

This mod may work https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5DCD472E7B3FE6EB-ModernRU

[gleaming holly]

I use 1989to2017 which works great, adds RHS guns/gear to the loot spawns too

[rotund sphinx]

How hard is it to "Reskin" factions

[queen oxide]

Any console news? PS5

[elder ore]

Nop, sorry.

[terse cloak]

other than the gamescom interviews no

[queen oxide]

Bc everyone is saying 2024 release, there was a post almost a year ago about release after 1.0 which was months ago.

But no info other than that.

I know that Sony is difficult and that they are having negotiations on Mod support. But we don't need Mods off release, it would be nice. But having the game would also be nice 🤣

[terse cloak]

read/watch these.

[lean moth]

this worked but only for the soldiers, the weapons at the starting area dont spawn though, thanks anyways!

[gleaming holly]

The weapons that spawn on surfaces stay vanilla but items in lockers and racks are vanilla/rhs

Iirc Socrates (mod author) said RHS wont be officially supported for Escapists any time soon

[slow pagoda]

Nobody says that.

[runic tree]

It would be nice too see the base game released in the near future for PS5, I could definitely wait for mod support afterwards if it did come eventually

[true reef]

Hi, can someone help me where to turn it off so that the same-faction group sign is not visible on the map?

[lusty plover]

Qny infos when the new update will drop should be soon since the usual time of updates is about 3-4months

[terse cloak]

No

[hot remnant]

Will Reforger support having a unit logo on uniforms like in ArmA 3?

[grim iris]

There was a mod showcasing GM feature that had helos flying into a selected point. Can anyone remember what this mod was?

[grim iris]

I hope so.

[digital crane]

#enf_showroom message

[grim iris]

That's the one. Thanks mate, was looking everywhere for that video.

[elder ore]

Do you guys think heavier weapons like MG's should have more uhh.. penalties compared to assault rifles and carbines?

[mossy sorrel]

iirc the next update we are supposed to be getting in Reforger is going to revamp the encumbrance system, which will penalize heavier loadouts.

[celest granite]

Less ammo

[tepid torrent]

yes without a doubt, atm handling feels the same

[empty perch]

Is there somewhere I can do a feature request for holding your breath while sniping

like This should be in here 😄 how was it overlooked

[slow pagoda]

#reforger_feedback has info about the feedback tracker where you can make a ticket for that

[quaint cargo]

Has the issue with explosions not rendering correctly server side been addressed in any recent experimental updates? Couldn’t find it in any change logs.

[odd ridge]

do birds give away player positions? Any tips for being a better medic(I'm trying to do something different and I want to get the achievement)?

[toxic pendant]

Does anyone have a time line on the framework update

[slow pagoda]

negative

[grim iris]

Tutorial Videos

[magic pebble]

it wasn't overlooked. they didn't add it because it's not realistic.

[terse cloak]

proof?

[magic pebble]

I read it either here or on twitter. iirc ot was said by klamacz

[empty perch]

Oh I can steady my shots

[terse cloak]

i like the tarkov system

[magic pebble]

when you say hold breath mechanic I think of the same hold breath mechanic used in arma3 and all other games. If you can steady your shot to that extent, ike that, I will declare you god emperor and fight to take over earth for you so your rule can bring enlightment and god like upper body strength to all of us.

[gloomy lodge]

Is this artifacts on the ground normal? they only happen at night and on the side of the road, they're not static, they are like film grain effect

and from what i'm noticing only when scope is on

[empty perch]

you need to do some more precision shooting ;D

[tepid torrent]

I challenge every sharpshooter to bust or prove the myth of hold breath

[finite turret]

To my knowledge they control their breath and pull the trigger in the last third of an exhale between two heart beats or so, as that is supposedly the most stable. But they don't hold their breath.

[fossil kettle]

Is there a default option to hide the HUD?
I never had the need but have been asked that question.

[stray blade]

From experience, not long range sniping or anything, youd normally put sights slightly above target, hold breath, pull trigger back to tripping point, exhale, and let natural motion bring sights down, trip trigger when aligned.

That is, if you shoot from standing position.
If you have weapon rested bipoded its diffrent

[tepid torrent]

Thanks for this, this and the detailed explanation above was what I was looking for

I think the "hold breath" mechanic should also integrate arm stamina, "holding breath" when you have already had weapon raised for a while will be ineffective, this should of course vary per weapon

[mighty obsidian]

Does anyone know why when I add the AH6M and it’s dependencies on my nitrado server it might work for a while then it just puts the server in a restart loop, then I take it out and it’s fine. I wanna use it but I can’t

[tardy rune]

as far as workbench goes like a 2.5/10

pretty easy even with little/no experience

[shy crag]

How do I close this? Pressing Esc opens the pause menu

[shut bison]

Hold J?

[shy crag]

Opens another one on top of it, which closes properly on Esc

The menu stays when I load different scenarios, host it, or in game master mode

Probably need to restart the game

[shy crag]

I deposited an item (a bag with items inside) into an arsenal in conflict mode now i can't find it. Does it get consumed or deleted?

[terse cloak]

Yes it gets consumed and you get like a small percentage back in supplies for the base, its really minimal

[shy crag]

Is it possible to store weapons and stuff you get from enemies?

[terse cloak]

you can put them into vehicles but there are no crates that you can haul with you with gear

[shy crag]

I did that before vehicles started disappearing after a while lol

[foggy ridge]

lost a vehicle in the AO then wanted to recover it after respawning but nope, gone

[terse cloak]

yes they despawn

[foggy ridge]

rest in pepperoni my trusty skoda

[shy crag]

i started just recently, and didn't know the map that well, so when my parked and crashed vehicles start disappearing i was absolutely disoeriented lmao

"i could swear i crashed it here, am i going crazy"

[foggy ridge]

locals stole it

[shy crag]

haha

considering how fast and how they keep coming in infinite amounts from out of nowhere when you kill them over and over i could believe that

[sacred mesa]

Isn't it time to release this blessed stable update???

[terse cloak]

no for this week

[foggy steppe]

Is there a high chance that the roadmap will be updated to have content for 2025 and 2026?

[ancient rapids]

I think it will be at least 2025 before they complete the current roadmap

[verbal mesa]

The things left are quite major

They have to get them to work and perform well

[spark hound]

Early-Mid 2025 is the finish line for reforger

[arctic rune]

source for that?

or is that a guess/prediction?

[spark hound]

A vision.

[slow pagoda]

Orb has been pondered upon it seems

[minor spear]

I would be much happier to play Arma 4 Alpha/Beta than have Reforger roadmap extended

We need a large part of the community testing things, especially on PC, instead of just a couple hundred people.

[verbal mesa]

Do you not realise Reforger is Arma 4 alpha 😅

[sullen salmon]

How does one gain access to the community promoting channels?

[dim quiver]

how do i get an AI to walk crouched while low readying his gun

[minor spear]

I do, but that doesn't prevent something officially called Arma 4 Alpha -- depends on how BI decides to brand things
But I do hope it means that Arma 4 will be launched completed or in Beta early access, with the full launch later the same year like Arma 3

[verbal mesa]

Anything could happen really. Only thing I'll bet my hat on is that it is Cold War

I think it's going to be a total throwback to OFP

Reforger already is kind of but I think this will with all the good Arma features. I like the new engine so much more
