[minor spear]

yeah, i'd be more surprised if it isn't cold war at this point

[grim iris]

Question to the modders: I have only created mods so far related to missions, factions, Configs etc, with that in mind, which of the following mods would be the easiest next step and why?

• Buildings
• Vehicles
• Units
• Weapons
• Script related

[foggy ridge]

all of the above are going to be hard when you have no experience with them, just pick the thing you want to do and do it

[grim iris]

I already have a list of ideas, just not sure which one to start at lol

[foggy ridge]

maybe start with something smaller out of them all

[tepid torrent]

has arma 4 launched yet?

[terse cloak]

20227

[foggy ridge]

damn thats a long time

[tepid torrent]

I think I might expire before it releases

[terse cloak]

wdym its only 3 weeks

[foggy ridge]

is it feb 2 2027?

or feb 20 2027

[terse cloak]

1969 november 20th

[foggy ridge]

ah ok see you guys next simulation timeline reset

[terse cloak]

just pray to urho kekkonen and arma 5 will come

[foggy ridge]

i only know one finnish word and it starts with p

[terse cloak]

ur out of luck then

[verbal mesa]

I played hockey with Finnish people and the word I heard most bu fat was Vittuu

[hybrid brook]

hey, new here, anybody familiar with the issue of mods not downloading?
-reinstalled the game
-reinstalled OS
-prayed
nothing helps yet, hoped to find some help in discord, as just googling the issue gave me nothing

[unique rover]

If your on windows, make sure your selected drive has enough space (sometimes the computer will select the primary computer storage rather than the secondary) double check if you have enough space!

If your on xbox, you have to select mod one by one as they can over mesh and give download errors especially on older consoles (series S and older)

[hybrid brook]

windows, 47g's of free space, double checked

maybe there is a way to change the download destination folder? not a fan of trashing the system main drive

[unique rover]

Yes, go the files > search Arma and you can follow the thread.

Or

On your desktop, you can right click > view in folder

Out of curiosity, what specs are you running?

[hybrid brook]

i7 9700
16g ram 2x2333
ssd all over
rtx2060

assembled it through the years piece by piece, was like a dream to me

[hybrid brook]

yeah i meant change the folder where mods go, the drive and destination folder

[magic pebble]

you can use steam launch settings to change the download location.

[hybrid brook]

yeah, didn't resolve the issue tho

[somber girder]

is repairing helis broken? It wants me to have a repair truck or maintanence point nearby, which i have (a repair truck full with supplies) and a fresh repair tool as well

[verbal mesa]

Might be just out of the radius

[somber girder]

yeah, it was just that. You have to be litteraly 1m next to it...

[verbal mesa]

Yea it's a bit ridiculous for helicopters I think it increases in experimental

The way I think it should work is that if you are in radius for one component, then you are it lets you repair them all

It's still a cool way to repair things regardless

[somber girder]

yeah, the radius needs to be increased. I mean, usually when you blow your rotors off, you are in a tight space so maneuvering a truck that has no functioning mirrors in there to get directly next to the heli is just super tedious. The gameplay itself with needing a repair truck is absolutely fine with me though.

[carmine bison]

Anyone know a mod that has either UH-1N huey or UH-1Y Venom?

[terse cloak]

Whens the next dev blog?

[snow fossil]

When was the last big update?

[grim iris]

RHS are working on a Venom. No ETA though. https://github.com/RHSMODS/statusquo/issues/549

[sharp current]

anyone know how to fix this?

Kick cause code: group=1 'REPLICATION', reason=3 'CONNECTION_FAILURE'

[carmine bison]

A few months ago

[trim grotto]

check your port forward settings

[sharp current]

Did, everything checked out... turns out it was a typo in the command line

[dim quiver]

whats the rpg-7 max distance? is it 300m?

[terse cloak]

i think it auto explodes after 900m

[foggy ridge]

Time I think not distance

[terse cloak]

on wikipedia

[foggy ridge]

Wellll in reforger its time

[woeful junco]

the fuse is based on time and og7v doesnt have a booster btw

[leaden robin]

anybody know any multiplayer PVE confclit missions that use RHS factions

[ancient rapids]

I know there's some in the workshop, just have a search!

[amber fable]

When the new update releases ?

[slow pagoda]

youll know by following the #announcements

[undone charm]

Can mods be downloaded locally on reforger? Or are they only attainable through the mod browser in game?

[slow pagoda]

Through the workshop yes

In game

[fierce oar]

Is ot allowed to add links to mod authors discord/YouTube to workshop mod descriptions?

[half locust]

yes

[fallow quarry]

I heard there was a sex change update coming? Was that a troll or legit?

[terse cloak]

troll lol

[fallow quarry]

Damn of course haha

[hard blade]

Reposting this in the Reforger specific channel, because I confused a guy who thought I wanted to play 3.

Fully new, and have no idea what's going on, would very much like to learn. Play on PC and I've run through the tutorials, still really hard to keep up. Mainly got into the game to fly transport, but I gotta learn the other side of the game first. Any help appreciated.

[terse cloak]

arma platform youtube channel has some videos and arma reforger website has some blogs called boot camp, they are basically guides for everything in the game, i suggest taking a look.

[hard blade]

I've seen a couple of videos online, it's gotten me decently far, but I'm still lost on a lot of the core essentials.

Mainly knowing where the hell I'm on the map. That's been the worst thing.

[terse cloak]

yeah play the game and you will learn, its natural happens in all the games, but if you look at the right bottom corner of the map it tells you where you are roughly

[neon meteor]

So that just comes with experience aka a lot of hours.

My biggest tip would be to get obsessed with flying 🥴 you will not only learn the map faster but also know every shortcut and just have an overall better visualization of the terrain, ground vehicles work too but not as good.

Also if you don't have much experience with how to navigate from other games you should really learn the basics from this video https://youtu.be/RPbnnpFafCw?si=kh6Kai0nxTX-ILW1

[vague ginkgo]

Why are Arma Reforger servers so shit? Its always the "Stalled" or "Time out". I've never seen a game which such server problems its insane

[ancient rapids]

Nice cross post.... 🤦‍♂️

[foggy ridge]

You forgot to mention the servers crashing every couple hours when I open doors the wrong way in a vehicle

[fossil condor]

Gonna ask update when just so it gets delayed more... so when update?

[delicate pilot]

something something frog something something

[terse cloak]

#reforger_experimental message

[fossil condor]

boo experimental boo

[sharp lodge]

Is it possible to change the game speed in like arma 3? to make the game slow motion im sure ive done it before

[quartz lance]

It's available in the Diag Menu.
Sadly no fixed key's for this so far.

[foggy ridge]

bacon photo props comes with a hotkey to pause the game while you are in first person, but no speed change

[sharp lodge]

@quartz lance Ahhh thats where i used it last, is there a way of opening the Diag menu on a GM server other than the arma tools?

[quartz lance]

Not sure but i would guess the whole diag menu is a workbench only thing.

[sharp lodge]

Theres notes on the website about modding but I dont know how to start with it

[quartz lance]

Which notes at which website?

What exactly do you like to mod?

[latent shard]

I'm curious, callsigns such as Atlas Red etc... Not sure how to put this, but are there similar types of callsigns that aren't just plain old Alpha / Bravo etc..? I kind of dig it, a lot.

[verbal mesa]

Russians have Russian variants

[latent shard]

I'm not asking about the Russians lol I was only curious about the US ones

[verbal mesa]

Not sure what you are asking then

[latent shard]

Just asking if there's callsigns in a similar vein to Atlas Red out there that aren't just boring old Alpha / Bravo type stuff. It feels cool, dunno how else to say it - it's the default US Team callsign and I just dig it

[elder ore]

Its nonsense, like all things Conflict.

[sharp lodge]

@quartz lance I was refering to this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Diag_Menu?useskin=darkvector I was looking how to get the Diag Menu up in my server so i can slow down time with friends or does logging in as admin allow you to open the menu

[quartz lance]

I think the modding only show's how you can add your own debug to the menu.
A lot of the diag menu is using #WORKBENCH which will prevent it from running outside of workbench.
Also iirc many stuff is not exposed in script for modding.

[unkempt sage]

Hej guys, one the webpage of Ophion Studios I stumbled upn some Arma Reforger Characters which I do not see in the game, you think there is more content coming? https://www.ophionstudios.com/projects/arma/

[half locust]

you’ll find even more on artstation if you know what to look for. Doesn’t mean that content will be in reforger anyways

[delicate pilot]

[foggy ridge]

that site makes me extremely angry as it doesnt have a scrollbar

[fickle barn]

The question is, if I were to assign IFOR markings to a UAZ, would I violate the EULA?

[supple dove]

@half locust PM

[fickle barn]

Okey thanks

[verbal mesa]

Mods have been taken down for the Z

[opaque shuttle]

Hi,
Any way to draw lines on the map?

[verbal mesa]

Yes but only you will see them. Click the pencil on the legend on the left side

[wanton hollow]

How do I pm in game

[slow pagoda]

steam/xbox chat

[kindred lava]

https://tenor.com/view/putin-russia-laughing-chuckle-lol-gif-5877833

[slow pagoda]

whats so funny?

[wanton hollow]

No like how there is local, global, vehicle chat

Is there a command for pm like all other arma games

[robust gulch]

When the changelog mentions support for TrackIR, does that mean Opentrack as well ? Sometimes "TrackIR" is used to describe any kind of headtracker

[finite turret]

Only TrackIR as stated, not opentrack.
And before you ask, I can't make any statement regarding what might or might not be added in the future.

[novel finch]

Probably did you answer that some where but have plans for joystick?

[haughty sail]

Is that from BI or mod ?

[chrome sphinx]

Neither but it's for BI and Arma Reforger

Some 3D company got "hired" by BI for these

[haughty sail]

Ooooh good to know. Been a while i didnt wandered on the discord im quiet obsolet. Thanks mate

[chrome sphinx]

👍

[haughty sail]

I guess it will speed up the process for them. Leaving manpower doing something else

[chrome sphinx]

Many 3D models in Reforger aren't directly made by BI

Mainly weapons and clothing is done by different companies

[haughty sail]

Didnt knew that

[chrome sphinx]

https://www.artstation.com/search?sort_by=relevance&query=Arma Reforger

Everything you see there is mostly made from hired companies

[haughty sail]

I'll check this out. Thank you mate

[wind narwhal]

Where can I set my appearance / face ? Is there a profile? Also what about unit insignias?

[terse cloak]

no to all in vanilla.

[grim iris]

unit insignias would be cool. Great feature of A3

[shy crag]

how do i download mods outside the game? arma doesn't allow me to download a mod while playing a scenario

also it doesn't continue from an interrupted point? i can't pause the download and continue some time later? lame

[grim iris]

I don't believe it is possible

Unless you had the files downloaded on another PC and copied them across to the same location. It may work, but unsure 🤔

[shy crag]

really not good

you can't open any map or scenario in game master?

[grim iris]

I would say it is because of cross play with consoles.

[grim iris]

Could you elaborate?

[shy crag]

I was playing a scenario called Overthrow, and I got softlocked because my body and enemy bodies disappeared after my death, so I wanted to give myself a pistol using Game Master, and also teleport myself, so I don't have to walk for 25 real life minutes, but I can only go into Armavision mode (Photo mode). So, I went to main menu to check if I need to start the scenario from the Game Master menu or something, but there are only two maps (Everon, Arland), but no other maps or scenarios that I have downloaded

[grim iris]

Assuming you are playing this locally on your PC or Xbox, then by default GM will probably be disabled. Unless the scenario enables GM or you are running on a dedicated server.

[shy crag]

Weird

[oak urchin]

Is there a way to go prone in a turret yet

I see in workbench that there is values for limiting the turret to have certain left and right limits while prone but for the life of me I can't seem to go prone with the turret

[tepid torrent]

why would you want visor down whilst using night vision?

[grim iris]

Tacticool 😎

[lament edge]

It is broken in stable branch, it was fixed in experimental

[stray blade]

To shade your eyes while looking at sun with nvg

[young cave]

Does anyone Know the Status of the Contributors Section of the Publishing Process, The Wiki says one thing but it doesn't seem to be functional, as I or the People I am working with don't have any sort of Pending Invite in the Workbench.

[sand verge]

That’s how I see it. I’m fine playing vanilla, then bring mods later if possible.

[slow carbon]

Idk whether this is the best place for it, but does anyone have any good suggestions for modded veichles to replace the janky STRYKER IFV mod?

[grim iris]

I use it within my community. Once you add that member as a contributor, they should be able to publish updates to the mod. Never noticed pending invites to be honest. You would still need to have a method of transferring internal updates between each other though. Like GitHub.

[young cave]

Cheers for the Response, I had the Feeling it would still work, but we didn't test it, I'll let my Teammate know

[elfin dagger]

is there any way to change my name only in reforger?

[terse cloak]

By changing ur steam username

[ripe mist]

Are we ever going to get tanks and artillery added into official servers of the game?

[stray blade]

Tanks no, light artillery (mortars) yes. Check roadmap in pinned in #reforger_discussion

[ripe mist]

I don't understand why there won't be tanks this is extremely disappointing. Almost more disappointing than poor functioning AI team mates.

[stray blade]

Its not within the scope of reforger.

[dim quiver]

so whats up with not being able to put the PSO-1 on the AK-74N and the 1P29 scope on the SVD? theyre both dovetail mounts no?

and the PGO-7V3 optic on both

[stray blade]

Diffrent mount

[terse cloak]

They can go on but wont retain zero

[half locust]

don’t remember which one doesn’t fit the other mount type, but considering SVD has a different sidemount than AK platform, from gameplay perspective incompatibility is preferred

[odd ridge]

do mods disable achievements

[mint crypt]

Best mods for ww2? Haven't seen much from all the ww2 mod makers anyone know why? Or am I just missing all of them

[eager sandal]

Does Reforger support dual stick on PC?

[stable topaz]

Not sure what's in active development these days, but the Operation Overlord kit was pretty good. Don't know how much of it still works.

[latent shard]

Is there any nice document detailing Console keybinds? I can't tell you how often friends from Console ask how to assign objectives and stuff and I can't help ;_;

[cobalt harbor]

Operation Fix Random Disconnects when?

[gilded marsh]

Any updates on how the mortars are coming along please ?

[chrome sphinx]

No

[gilded marsh]

Thank you

[chrome sphinx]

Only thing is that they got a guide for mortars on experimental which is pretty much just a teaser

[gilded marsh]

Ahhhhh baby steps then

[next crypt]

any1 got like a good mod for modern chernarus equipment

[stray temple]

dose local hosting a server over multiplayer/ host/ host locally dose it require port forwarding

[verbal mesa]

Requires port forwarding

[stray temple]

are these right ?

[flint egret]

Hey guys bought reforger like a month ago, I usually did co-op or solo dynamic recon ops and antistasi with lots of mods in arma 3. If I want a similar game loop is "combat ops" scenarios the best option? Is there a mod that allows me to change my arsenal on the fly ?

[fresh plover]

Any News about Update before Christmas?

[last marsh]

try the overthrow mod

[polar veldt]

Hello does anyone know of a way to block radio signals in certain areas?

I'd like to try something like this for our underground tunnels

[lament edge]

There is no easy implementation, you would need to implement your own in script, and disable the radio antenna yourself so a zone is blackout

[polar veldt]

Hmmmm what about a small zone that increases the radio distance further than the zone your in?

[tepid torrent]

This should be looked into for caves and jammers

[polar veldt]

That's exactly why I'm asking about it lol I'm interested I'm trying to do it on our metro rp server I'm in

[drowsy geode]

Are we gonna get proper reflections on glass material once mirrors are in?

[tiny latch]

Is there any way to have the GL's load the actual explosives first before the smokes when you just press R?

Every time I reload it wants to load my M700's and not the HEAT's

[verbal mesa]

Better yet, are we getting mirrors? 😄

[drowsy geode]

hopefully when lav25 drops, working periscopes too

[eager sandal]

Reforger still haven't support joystick/hotas right?

[terse cloak]

Yup

[terse cloak]

Is there a reason we don’t have the 3 color nato camo?

[stray blade]

No. Check official wiki

[eager sandal]

It's been a while that I've played at night, where can I find fireflies?

[foggy ridge]

I see them all the time at night

[eager sandal]

Where, and what time?

[foggy ridge]

I feel like they are a bit random but I dont know for certain, just glowing particles floating around

[eager sandal]

I think back when it was first announced it was easily found. Now, I find it hard to find.... maybe I'll just wait a bit

[eager sandal]

Is there a way you can disable left click to bring your weapon up from lowered position? Sometimes I forgot that I already bring the weapon up and accidently discharge it. Happens at night where you can see much, esp in 3rd person.

[eager sandal]

I hope if they support it in the future, they will support dual stick also... Since Xbox controller have two stick also, so why not? 😆

[neon meteor]

is reforger more cpu or gpu intensive?

[foggy ridge]

yes

[neon meteor]

help or shush

[foggy ridge]

I had a 7950X and a 3080 and getting a 4080 super improved FPS a lil bit

I guess if you play in multiplayer then CPU less important

[neon meteor]

ofc

ye that makes sense

[foggy ridge]

Server takes a lot of load off your CPU

[neon meteor]

did u sell ur 3080 if not send asap

[foggy ridge]

I just trashed it

Hey can I get someones help to figure out port forwarding. I have created all of the ports to port forward in my router, and when mybuddy tries to join he gets error "Kick cause code group=1 REPLICATION Reason=3 CONNECTION FAILURE"

[elfin dagger]

is medecine going to stay the same in the game?

or is there any plans to make a better system?

[grim iris]

Have you looked at Ace medical? Unsure if they are changing vanilla medical system

[terse cloak]

We dont know

[ionic merlin]

Has anyone found a way to change the faction of npc’s when they’re placed down? I remember a while ago you could place down a team of Russians, then go onto their properties and change their faction to American, just wondering if there’s a mod that allows it or another way

[verbal mesa]

I think GME is adding that in the next update

[terse cloak]

iirc its vanilla

[ionic merlin]

I don’t remember being able to last time I tried it

[terse cloak]

i did once

[ionic merlin]

GME?

[verbal mesa]

Game Master Enhanced

[foggy ridge]

this is a vanilla feature for the past 2 years

[ionic merlin]

Won’t let me do so

[foggy ridge]

open properties of the group not the character

[ionic merlin]

Holy shit you’re so right, didn’t realise it needed to be with a group

[foggy ridge]

I get that a lot

[ionic merlin]

You did create the greatest mod of all time, the loadout editor

Does anyone know how to get Zelik’s loot spawner to work? because I put it on my server but no loot spawns, do I have to enable it or something? I’m on Xbox

[snow turret]

Are peer to peer servers something you can do on Xbox?

[terse cloak]

no

[snow turret]

Oh dang, that's strange, was there any reason for it? Limitations of some kind I would presume..

[terse cloak]

dunno

[snow turret]

Huh, I'll have to look around if anyone else anywhere else may know why or a reason, I was asking in preparation for buying it on PS5 soon, whenever that may be. (Even though I really believe it may be tomorrow despite some doubt from people.)

[terse cloak]

no updates this week

[snow turret]

Right, but didn't the post update on the Playstation blog, state that the enhancements would come later? That was the "enhancements", not unless I guess the release for the game itself changed anyways...

[terse cloak]

*Update: PS5 Pro enhancement for Arma Reforger and The Callisto Protocol will be scheduled after November 7.

[snow turret]

If that's the case, then someone somewhere should've atleast tried to word it a little better.

[terse cloak]

it was crossed out on the list

[snow turret]

Yeah, but they make it sound like it's just in regards to the enhancement of what the console provides, not the release itself. but it's fine, whatever happens, happens :/

[terse cloak]

#reforger_experimental message frog means update

[snow turret]

Okay... this is truth then... I yield, good sir.

[sand verge]

Hi All, please can i ask for your recommendations on small-medium sized maps.

We have a small community in South Africa and want to setup some PVE Conflict servers for them. Want them to be able to finish them fairly quickly to move onto a new scenario on a new map. Just so they dont get to bored as Conflict on the likes of Everon could drag on for to long

[cosmic field]

hello everyone, the modification has configurations and its settings, where should I add configuration data?

[wide flint]

Can the AI still not fly helicopters or jets? If not is there a mod or something that allows them to?

[wide flint]

Well that’s unfortunate, that would add so much more to game master.

[arctic rune]

damn, thats very disappointing

[arctic rune]

expecially if they are planning Antistasi, there will be no Air threats

[fathom osprey]

Frankly that's a bit bizarre and not acceptable from an ARMA title. Reforger, it's kind of in between. But the full ARMA 4 having no AI helicopter function, not acceptable.

[tepid torrent]

agreed, and i think devs are well aware of this

[tiny latch]

The benefit is msot of the ground work would be done for antistasi regardless by the time A4 rolls around

And it can still be pretty fun with ai ground forces going around

Besides, we don't really have any good anti-air stuff yet since RPG's miss a cluster fuck load and MG's need to be lucky with their placement

I'd imagine A4 will have Igla's and Stingers which will give ground blokes a better chance at fighting back against air assets

[cold nexus]

I like the sound the rpg makes when it flies by the tail

[lucid tulip]

Yeah I remember arma 2 you had a hole variety of anti air. The 2k22 tunguska was the peak of mobile anti air for russia, But also had aaa guns ground or truck mounted like zu23, self propelled like zsu23 shilka , or manapads like igla. The us just had stingers , either. carried by men or mounted on humvee or bradley

Tbh kind of glad there aren't any guided missiles for anti air for arma reforger. Since the peak of air support is going to be limited to utility helos with rockets.

[tiny latch]

until arma 4 at least when we can assume attack choppers and jets

[lucid tulip]

The only reason I second guess jets being added is due to how small island of everon is. It only has 1 airfield anyways. And a pretty short one at that. Imo even a subsonic jet like a10 or su25 imo are gonna feel like they are in a very small cage never minding supersonic jets.

For an island based maps I'd think usmc faction or assets would be suitable, and adress lack of airstrip options. Like an amphibious assualt ship that has a deck from which a harrier can operate from.

[tiny latch]

From what we can guess from the A4 teaser we might be going back to nogova which is a bit larger in scale than everon

And besides, malden was tiny af too and they used jets there

Civilian planes might also end up coming first for all we know, like a cessna or something

[elder ore]

Nogova would be so disappointing.. horrible shape and topology. Unsuitable for tank battles. Malden was great.

[tiny latch]

You take that the fuck back

Nogova is the king shit of terrains, and an updated version in A4 could be the GOAT

[odd kindle]

anyone seen any good winterized uniforms/opfor

[half locust]

[elder ore]

He hasn't played the tutorial in exp..

[plucky cape]

Is there a way to set the next loaded Grenade Launcher round to HE? For example currently I fire a HE round then when I reload I load in a flare GL round. How is the next loaded round determined or is it random? It makes multi munitions Grenadier role a pain.

[terse cloak]

you cant choose but you can using the interaction button select which round to load

[plucky cape]

Ah so that's the only way I've found when playing. That's disappointing to be honest. Kit organisation should make it possible to fire different types repeatedly.

[arctic rune]

Nogova would be awesome as a final farewell map to Reforger, it would be cool to get something close to an actual city in the form of the capital Lipany

either having to choose to move your tanks and other heavy vics across the Bridge in the middle and have them potentially be picked off, or go the long way through the rough and mountainous north

[flint nest]

I mis Sahrani

[lucid tulip]

yeah as a terrain thats cool. youd think that place would also be relevant in the cold war due to the democratic republic of Sahrani being aligned with the USSR in the timeframe, and would probably oportunistingly invade the Kingdom of Sahrani if the US and USSR are busy duking it out over other islands and mainland europe

Although for arma 4 is just asking to have cdlc that represents a heavily militarized border area between west and east germany or west Germany and czechoslovakia

Cultural differences

[half locust]

not sure why you would think this is up for discussion
while you can drop an f word without realizing while speaking, you cannot while typing. the #rules of this discord are the same for everyone
Also, dropping and f word even here is not gonna get you infractions, making it a habit will though

[olive scroll]

does anyone know how i can get onto the beta?
i saw a vid on the new tutorial and want to check it out

[half locust]

what beta? if you mean experimental then that is a different app/game/exe you can find on steam / xbox whatever

[olive scroll]

ooooooooooooooooooh thank you
i forgot i had it in my library!

[viscid basin]

where to get the mods

[shut bison]

The in game workshop

[viscid basin]

just found it thanks

[plucky karma]

Arma 4 will be all islands we are getting now, in huge map.

[restive fjord]

im looking for the informaiton on Bacons Server Admin tools

[tiny latch]

BOHEMIA INTERACTIVE! DO WHAT THIS GUY SAID AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!

[tepid torrent]

yeah all islands on one map would require a whole new system to instance terrains and probably need to offload the server work to one server per island 😆

[foggy ridge]

servers barely use 12 GB of RAM currently so I think doable but there's no way you can have all of those very active at one time since the CPU bottleneck exists in Reforger server

the only way I can get it to use more than 6 CPU cores is through synthetic benchmarks

[tepid torrent]

damn, well i am sure devs are working on it. we gotta squeeze every bit of performance out. let the cpu sweat

@TIMDOG2000 @ArmaPlatform the old one was 35 km2

Twitter · Nov 12, 2024, 2:04 PM

[half locust]

no. orginal one was about 34-35sqkm, Everon about 50sqkm

[viscid basin]

Is experimental needed

[terse cloak]

no

[viscid basin]

Or the others

[terse cloak]

only the normal version, tools is for modding and server is for hosting servers

[viscid basin]

Ok ok

Thanks I'm new

[raven shale]

hey guys, i'm experiencing the problem that servers require the same mods, but in diferent versions. For example W.C.S EU1-3. Is there a possibility to load * all the mods and versions * and keep them?

it happens quite frequently that i need to download like 10mb and then the server is full again.

[half locust]

afaik you can only have a specific version of a certain mod.

[raven shale]

quite annoying, we need a join queue 😦

[cold nexus]

Is there a mission available that would run "combat ops" but allow some game master permissions?

[terse cloak]

yeah its on exp, hopefully it comes next week

[raven shale]

nice

[half locust]

normal behaviour tbh.
queue is available on experimental branch

[raven shale]

i assume i can't join the normal servers on experimental branch?

[half locust]

indeed. where normal = stable branch

[raven shale]

yeah

[foggy ridge]

haha stable

[visual glade]

When I take supplies out of helicopters they go on the rotors… any way to not do this

[terse cloak]

nope, only way is to load it to a vehicle or a depot nearby

[halcyon wigeon]

is it possible to set a custom fov in reforger like you can in arma 3

[visual glade]

Does anyone have an interactive Everon map that shows starting supply and points of interest?

Also, anyone have any good second monitor recommendations? Is there any tools that go with vanilla reforger? ARMA 3 had anthena

[visual glade]

It’s in the menu - unless that’s not what you mean

[visual glade]

:/ that should really be fixed. Basically makes it so you fuck the chopper if you take supplies out

[kindred lava]

I have a question, will the wallpapers of the new map be included in the deluxe edition or will it be content separately?

[thin portal]

Does we've some mod to remove what I call since Arma 3, the "eye of Thundera", the ability to just hold "RMB" to X4 zoom. Is beyond me how they never added to this day, a option to toggle it on or off in the servers, for hardcore players.

[visual glade]

It’s based on how well humans can actually see in real life.

[thin portal]

No it isn't, is just fake, don't defend arcade stuff, you can't do a X4 zoom IRL lol, would be cool asf.

[cold nexus]

Games are an abstraction, not a 1 to 1 model. Stuff like the zoom is not meant to be a literal model of how vision works, but an abstraction for human concentration in looking at something.

[eager sandal]

The zoom in thing is that the game trying to render image that in real-life about the same to what is rendered on the monitor. Hope that makes sense.

[stable topaz]

Less concentration and more 1:1 size. It's not possible to mimic human vision on a limited size screen without some zoom function. What we have in Arma games is a compromise between peripheral vision and unaided 1:1 eyesight.

[stable topaz]

You want to simulate having poor eyesight? Zoom is 1:1, "unzoom" tries to simulate peripheral vision on a display monitor.

[half locust]

my 32:9 monitor begs to differ

[thin portal]

I understand that, but still, would be great to have the option to turn it off in a server. And I don't believe the zoom is 1:1 . You can't see that well and far, just go to the game and zoom to look a object at 100m, later go IRL and compare, I can be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you see way closer in-game with the zoom, looks like a X4 zoom, you can compare it with the X4 scopes to have a idea

[stable topaz]

The 4 times scope is actually a great way to test it.
Zoom in, then put your thumb over an apparently thumb-sized object.
Then switch to a 4x scope. You'll notice your thumb now covers 1/4 of the object.

[thin portal]

No way, I got to test it rn, brb with screenshots comparison

[foggy ridge]

Make sure your thumb is visible in the screenshot

[covert lava]

Unless you want to remove the FOV slider there would be no way to disable it. All holding rmb does is lower the fov to it's minimum.

[thin portal]

LMAO, I'm not going to use the thumb. 👍

[fervent dagger]

How do I make it so scrollwheel adjusts stance, and CTRL+scroll wheel adjusts speed (basically swapping the controlls)

[covert lava]

I don't think you can right now. Looks like an oversight

[fervent dagger]

Sad

[verbal mesa]

You probably can on pc

[fervent dagger]

Im on pc

[thin portal]

I'm really glad that you guys were right, oof, in Arma 3 was the same or was really like a X4 zoom? Does someone know? Cuz I do remember that we had a mod to remove the RMB zoom. Bellow you've the comparison ZOOM vs NO ZOOM vs X4 scope

[thin portal]

Do you see much difference with the zoom still?

[half locust]

?

[thin portal]

When you RMB zoom, still changes a lot too?

[half locust]

yes

but with a 2x 16x9 screen size you already have peripheral vision

[thin portal]

Yeah, if you setup the FOV right, shouldn't be that much of a zoom for you, just a bit I guess, I mean, what FOV do you use?

[indigo carbon]

So I have a problem where I have usually 60fps on arma but if i pick a scope with magnification as soon as i zoom in my fps drops to 30-40. Is there any setting that could help with that?

[foggy ridge]

not really, with the scope active the game has to render the scene twice kind of

[indigo carbon]

Yeah but I hoped there would be picture in picture quality setting or anything similar because it makes these scopes hard to use in pvp when you re trying to hit someone with 30 fps

[minor acorn]

There actually is, you can try enabling 2D scopes, it will lead to simpler scopes that perform much better. The downside sadly is that you completely lose the PIP effect.

[foggy ridge]

I low key want to add a version of my 4x optic that does COD-like ADS

[minor acorn]

Like "3D scopes" in A3?

[foggy ridge]

just FOV no pip

[minor acorn]

yeah, so like those

[foggy ridge]

it would have to be like an alternative item me thinks

[minor acorn]

Technically speaking, dont the current iron sights already work like this?

[foggy ridge]

yeah, I just dont know if it's possible to do variable zoom with this and variable zoom just changing your fov like that would look super goofy

because my optic is 1-4x

[minor acorn]

Yeah, prolly not

just a 4x could work tho, prolly

[foggy ridge]

but you only really use it for 4x anyway I dont think I've seen anyone use it with 1x, it has a red dot on top too

[minor acorn]

RCO my beloved

[arctic rune]

RCO cannot be beat

will use that sight in A3 till the day I turn to dust

[kindred basalt]

what's the best guide to make a faction with using several mods ? any guide or video please ?

[arctic rune]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_Reforger/Modding/Tutorials/Assets basically you will want to follow the guides in descending order, as they are ordered by difficulty

now you can probably skip straight to faction creation without problems

[kindred basalt]

hey dont know if this is right spot but any one wanna teach me how to make mods for arma reforger like from A-to-Z

iv done some dayz stuff but not a lot really reteturing and one mod

[viscid orchid]

Hi guys! Can someone give me a link to an article or video about how the armor penetration mechanics work in the Arma Reforger game.

[woven gazelle]

Guys, stupid inventory-management related question: how do i drop stuff from <trunk> to <floor> directly, not into <own inventory>?

E.g. i'm pressing tab for inventory, i see ground stuff and <vehicle> (trunk);
Double-click vehicle - opens trunk, there's stuff there;

How do i drop stuff from trunk on the floor directly? in the arma 3 there was this ground <tab> that i was able to drag stuff into
Which resulted in dropping from crate / trunk onto floor directly, not sure if you can... do this in reforger?

[ancient rapids]

look for vicinity at the top, drag it there

[woven gazelle]

oh my guy, i think ik what you're talking about;
Sorry, i'm a bit embarresed now

[woven gazelle]

actually, it doesn't work:

here i'm draggin to the <vincinity>, and it does nothin(

[ancient rapids]

idk, works for me!

[woven gazelle]

are you sure it's not dropping stuff into your inventory?

[civic lintel]

Any good news about the release on ps5? 🥺

[ancient rapids]

yes im sure, when i drop stuff into the vicinity, it drops it on the ground.

[woven gazelle]

sorry, just making sure: and you're doing this while trunk is opened, right? like inside vehicle storage

[magic pebble]

This is the proper way to do it.

tab to open inventory when you are near the truck, the middle mouse click on the truck icon to unlock the inventory window, from there you can drag items between vicinity and truck cargo

[woven gazelle]

right... got it; the open new view stuff;
Thanks! you're a life saver

[foggy ridge]

sometimes on modded servers you can put modded vehicles in your backpack crashing the whole server

[magic pebble]

that will be 10$. thank you.
account number: 96290445-101

[foggy ridge]

I once put a T34 with a gunner inside my backpack and deployed it when I was under fire

[fervent dagger]

How do I save scenario progress in a multiplayer game?

[fathom osprey]

it's not hardcore to remove, it's the opposite. all combat flight sim, DCS, IL-2, have massive amounts of "eye zoom" like ARMA. flat 1080p, 1440p screen can't represent eyesight capability very well.

easy to test by looking at distance in real life, check distance via Google Map or rangefinder, compare in game.

eg, if you can see human figures at 1000m, 2000m in real life and it's impossible in game to see past some hundreds meters, then you need eye zoom.

[sleek wharf]

Someone internally made calculations - considering resolution of screen, FOV and actual resolution of human eye - Arma 3 camera zoom is consistent with biology. Reforger has smaller zoom than A3.

[eager sandal]

What seems to be the problems with having trouble to connect to the backend thing? What is the backend anyway?

[foggy ridge]

is is the end of the back

[eager sandal]

Is it like the home-in server for copy protection thing?

[foggy ridge]

its bohemia's services and databases

backend is a general umbrella term covering stuff that runs somewhere that you dont directly interact with

for example a server browser is frontend, but it talks to backend to get the servers

[eager sandal]

Okey, why do we need the 'backend' to list MP servers and play on them, assuming its like a mediator...

[cold nexus]

it kind of is, not a terrible metaphor actually

[foggy ridge]

its like a repository of information, and piping connections through a backend is easier for developers to control the flow of information

when you use Discord to send and receive messages here, your Discord app is connecting to a backend to download the list of messages for you to see

[eager sandal]

For discord I kinda get it, but for MP servers, aren't I connecting to the server company that hosting the server? Not BI.

Or is it the server browser ingame is actually calling BI, to tell the browser where the games are hosted? If like that, then I kinda get it. Hopefully 😅

[foggy ridge]

your game gets a list of servers which contains like the IP of the server, the mission and how many players, then your game connects to that IP when you join

[eager sandal]

And to get that list of servers you have to call BI (the backend)? So if to bypass BI, you have to direct join the server, provided you know their IP adresses?

[foggy ridge]

pretty much

[eager sandal]

Thank you. That's quite enlightening

[foggy ridge]

similarly you connect to the workshop to get a list of mods that you can download

[cold nexus]

"architecture with bacon" first in a series of talks on modern development practice

[last marsh]

is there literally no way to change controller controls without using a controller? who thought this was a good idea

[finite turret]

huh?

I mean, you gotta press the button you want to use.
What would be the alternative - a drop down menu with all potential inputs from all potential devices connected and not connected?
That makes no sense.

In case I might me misunderstanding what you mean, please explain further because you got me confused.
Thank you.

[last marsh]

@finite turret im trying to setup my drone controller with arma reforger

it doesnt have all the buttons a normal controller would, but i just want the joysticks.

i cant like, select the helicopter collective with my mouse n keyboard and then use the controller's joystick to set it yknow?

[finite turret]

That's a damn weird edge-case you got there, mate 😄

[last marsh]

yea i know lol

[foggy ridge]

create a lego technic contraption that moves joysticks on an xbox controller when you use your drone controller and connect the xbox controller to the pc

[finite turret]

But I get what you mean.
Could you please create a proper feedback tracker issue for that containing all available information and proper description of what you want to do?
This way it's the easiest for us to potentially deal with it internally.

[proven hill]

idk if you have an actual controller anywhere, but you could try connecting both your drone controller and a normal controller at the same time, so u can use the normal controller to start the input selection and use the rc controller to set it?

[finite turret]

Also, is the drone controller even properly recognized by your pc?

[last marsh]

yea the computer sees it as a joystick and steam works fine with it, i got it working fine rn but pain in the ass

[finite turret]

Adding the functionality that you can select with mouse and set with controller should in theory be possible but I can and will not guarantee that your edge case controller works properly with Reforger. That's out of scope.

When you got a ticket created, please ping me with a link. Cheers

[last marsh]

[verbal mesa]

Reforger modding is more similar to DayZ in a lot of ways than Arma. I also came from DayZ

[heady bridge]

Quick question about the AI in Arma Reforger. I'm hosting a Game Master session with some friends and I was hoping to run a spec opps session with them using NVGs in the dark against some AI. Is there a way to tone down the difficulty of the AI? Feels like they're still a little superhuman even in the dark.

[shut bison]

Maybe crx ai, i think thats what its called

[kindred basalt]

where can i disable the Frag Bananas from RHS can't find them from Inventory Items ?

[half locust]

? disable what

[alpine cradle]

Those are from ace mod, they can be disabled by overriding the inventory entitycatalog config

[kindred basalt]

thanks

[foggy ridge]

he wants the frag bananas off but keep the deer antlers

[kindred basalt]

disabled it too 🤣

[kindred basalt]

is there a config to turn off team balance ?

[terse cloak]

there is no team balance in vanilla

[eager sandal]

I was wondering, if we can have forced slowdown when moving in deep water, why we can't have forced slowdown when moving through bushes?

[sleek wharf]

Maybe, eventually.
It changes the gameplay a lot - just see what Tarkov faced when they enabled it by default on all maps (initially it was only on one map).

[verbal mesa]

Tarkov is a bit different though not nearly as much travelling in terrain. Adding a disadvantage to being invisible is a sort of balance. You can hide so well in bushes in Reforger

But it also makes it more annoying when travelling long distances I guess

[slow pagoda]

makes it more important to choose your route carefully

[sleek wharf]

Its a good point. Currently there is a bit too many bush-wookies out there. I myself like to hide inside vegetation. This (eventually, depending on time and resources) may be improved.

[verbal mesa]

The ability to actually hide inside the vegetation is awesome especially at distance. Such a stark comparison to A3 and DayZ. But I do also think it's a good balancing act to do so as it is very effective and easy to move from spot to spot while remaining in the bushes. The awesome addition of overencumbrance that's currently in experimental showcases a similar type of restriction that was needed for other reasons

[sleek wharf]

True. I would just add that we have sounds of going through bushes which depends on your speed. If you get into fight in such place, sneaking and listening to every noise is crucial, or you have to make decision to move away from bushes just not to be heard.

[terse cloak]

hopefully it gets fixed somehow, for example having mortars or fire destroy the bushes would destroy them.

[verbal mesa]

Flamethrowers >:)

[verbal mesa]

That's certainly an honest variable when within 50 meters or so but this also effects longer ranges and travel speed. It makes the player make decisions about travelling as well. In the open is faster but terrain is stealthier. That's already a thought process about vehicles. Just my two cents, thanks for listening anyways! 🙂

[small grove]

Hi y'all! Does anyone have advice for making the in-game voice comms work more smoothly? My friends and I tried to play last night, but we really found it tough to communicate in-game compared to our experience with Arma 3 TFAR. The clarity was rough (lots of breaking up even in proximity talking - not on the radio) and we kept having the proximity chat disable randomly (maybe it's when you transmit on the radio?). My guys were really disappointed in this aspect of the game. It's such a cool concept, but just could do with some improvements perhaps. I'm thinking maybe we just need to tweak our settings, maybe tweak the serverside? Not sure.

Any tips and tricks appreciated 🙂

Another tough thing for us is that we couldn't set the device for the microphone within the game settings - it had to be done in the windows settings, which was tough to walk people through.

[tepid torrent]

Maybe even a collider in the centre of the bush prohibiting movement through the middle where the stem is, realistically you can't walk straight through

[small grove]

Vegetation makes noise and HURTS! Especially when the soldier in front of you snaps you in the face with a tree branch he was moving out of the way 😆

And slows you down, too! Would be cool to have animations that show you brushing it aside or protecting your face as you move through it

[tepid torrent]

Considering majority of the bushes are blackberries I can concur

[verbal mesa]

Collider stopping you would be way too excessive

[stable topaz]

Speed modifier would be sufficient

[kindred basalt]

is there anyway to increase AI Difficulty ?

[shut bison]

With mods

[kindred basalt]

i checked the workshop couldn't find any or maybe i missed.

[shut bison]

Crx ai i think has it

[kindred basalt]

To find dco just type crx to find it easier on the workshop since it was inspired on it but further developed.

Is there a way to edit the COnflict 2.0 mission file and can i add helicopters to it?

[rare carbon]

How do you go into an offline scenario with specific mods? the mod manager UI seems to have no impact at all in what gets loaded

Is it because when I want to load GM its trying to load an old session? The restart option still uses that set of mods though, so do I need to manually delete the save file somewhere?

[kindred basalt]

if i am not mistaking you can add them from here override Configs\EntityCatalog\US\Vehicles_EntityCatalog_US.conf

[odd ridge]

For landing the mi-8, what are some things I can do to make the landings smoother and accurate?

Guys I have a server open and I have been beating my head over why my server FPS dips below 10 when we have 60+ people, over 160 AI, and 350+ registered entities... I have a few questions if you would be so kind, I will also include our server host specs below:

XGamingServers (Reforger Ultimate) > 12 cores of CPU (i9), 23.44gb memory, 97 GiB of disk space. Nothing goes over 50% usage on any of these specs. We allow up to 100 people in the server. We average around 70-80. We get up to 100 on weekends.

1 - We run a PVE server. We currently have it under Mikes Fallujah PVE with LinearPVE. Is there a way to keep the server FPS above 20 with LinearPVE off? We would also like to have 2-4 helicopters in the air if possible. (If you would like I can DM you our mod list).

2 - What are registered entities? We see a possible correlation on server FPS dips around that number going over 350+, and commonly corresponds with player counts and definitely AI.

3 - Based on this screenshot, what would you assume the culprits is/are? We do have 18gb of mods, but 33% of that comes from RHS. I can provide a full mod list, but I'm hoping for some help. I would love if someone could help me figure this out and maybe teach me what to look out for for myself and others in the future. Thank you so much in advance!

[west jacinth]

Game is the culprit. No matter what you play (Conflict, modded, vanilla), if there are more that 80 players the game will start lagging eventually. I know it's not the answer you may expect, but it is how it is ATM.

[visual wind]

I have heard this, however, I know of similar servers that have 20+ server FPS with most of the same mods running max pop (100 people). We run similar mods yet somehow they have almost double the FPS that we do. I have already reached out to them to no response

[west jacinth]

You can try tweaking drawing distance, limit AIs and other entities.
On this one: https://qonzer.live/qQuery/index.php?g=armare&appId=1874880&q=85.208.197.78:2001&b=1 when we have up 80 players with AIs it takes 3-4 hours before there are server FPS drops. When server is full (128), after 20 minutes it goes down to 20 FPS with occasional drops to 7.

[visual wind]

would you mind if I DM you additional details with more specifics to see if you could possibly help? I would greatly appreciate it

[west jacinth]

I'm a regular player and I can only configure my server using ready-made templates, so I won't be able to help you. Try asking in #reforger_servers about optimal in-game configuration for the best performance.

[tardy rune]

try walking through a bush 🤷‍♂️

[verbal mesa]

I've pushed through many bushes hunting deer. The thick shit is nearly impossible to get through, it's amazing that the deer can. But in the setting of a video game, then stopping you entirely is excessive af

[topaz whale]

Center of the bush should stop you. Edges shouldn't.

[verbal mesa]

It would be very annoying

[slow pagoda]

its tradition

does that in previous titles too with some bushes

those bushes look the part too though

that you should not be able to pass them

[verbal mesa]

I'm not against a chance of cutting you and definitely not against it slowing you down. You are right about realism though, some bushes like rosehip bushes when thick are impossible to get through. You'll get a hairfull of ticks going through them too 😅

[topaz whale]

As HorribleGoat said, it's been that way for at least Arma 2 and 3. I think Armed Assault too but it's been a while now so I don't remember.

It always felt more right than in CWA where you could walk through them. I'm not against some small bushes being passable but pretty much every Bush should at least slow you down at the center and many should stop you.

[verbal mesa]

I would agree with the thick brush as goat said, as long as you can look at them and it's obvious they are not passable

[lament edge]

Making bushes slow you down, is a very big impact in gameplay, we always had this idea, it is just very hard to design it, and there was just other priorities to tackle

[topaz whale]

Yeah that makes sense. I was sad when I realized I could wall through them for the first time in two decades I think but I understand if there are higher priorities. I hope it comes in for A4 at least

[fervent dagger]

how do you restore hideout icons in CO-Everon if you accidentally delete them?

How do I save progress in a multiplayer scenario?

[ebon pelican]

hi guys i downloaded this mods but can't seem to spawn it in game master

also other vehicles like the M2 Bradley can't be spawned also

[chrome sphinx]

Did you also activate the mod?

[ebon pelican]

yess

[desert pike]

Anyone know any good mods that will help me set up more realistic LSCO battle positions and logistic points?

[kindred basalt]

is there any way to change faction ? cause even leaving the server and coming back you will still deploy to the same faction.

[terse cloak]

vanilla no

[kindred basalt]

do you know any mods ?

no worries i think i found it

for anyone who needs it in the future

[tardy rune]

if this ever comes it would be amazing though. :) the bushcamping in pvp is rough.

[fervent dagger]

how do you restore hideout icons in CO-Everon if you accidentally delete them?
How do I save progress in a multiplayer scenario?

[brisk summit]

I'm working on a server using dayz mod and I'm looking for something for the players to use for base building and storage that's lockable is there a mod for this?

[brisk summit]

Anybody know?

[fierce oar]

Is there any way to capture game with reforger base features or some mode? Capture map, or everything in 3d? I.e. tracked unit positions and actions

[slow vine]

who are the police in this server please?

in the game not real life

[ancient rapids]

I don't think there's anything like that yet.

[chrome sphinx]

Uh you mean moderators?

[slow vine]

no i mean when playing the game itself, are the officers in this server

[terse cloak]

go to the discord server of what ever server u are on

[slow vine]

im sure this is the discord server for my server

[terse cloak]

its not

[chrome sphinx]

What server are you playing on?

[terse cloak]

ur most likely on elan life

[chrome sphinx]

Are you playing arma reforger roleplay?

[slow vine]

yeah that one, i found the server thank you. sorry im new to discord

[kindred basalt]

i was just trying C&H on my server but the players health is like trippled some how very hard to kill other team or die, any idea how to fix this issue ?

[late thorn]

Anyone know where to find helis on the Rogue Extraction game mode?

[thin saddle]

Anyone know "Fundaman77" discord? or a modder that can help making custom patches?

[sand bramble]

what is the setting that makes it so you are always zoomed in when aiming down sights? can't seem to find it

[tall willow]

Is this the guy you are looking for? @slender quail

[thin saddle]

Yes! Thanks dude.

[undone raft]

Serious question. Just bought this yesterday. What…am I supposed to be doing in game when i deploy? How do i know my team won?

[vague ginkgo]

you are supposed to be attacking the points with the pink text

play the tutorial

[wintry oracle]

Is it the same where you are, with street signs and smoke grenades hanging in the air?

[sand verge]

I've yet to see a performance benchmark of Reforger with modern GPU's / CPU's, other than the one done post release by a Russian website I believe.

Have no sense as to the impact of different GPU's, AMD vs. Intel on the games performance. Has anyone seen a set of benchmarks from a reputable source?

[woeful junco]

any new cpu made in the past 4 years is gonna be great. almost no one has a intel gpu but for AMD there has been no problems, for nivida some older cards like 20 series has had problems which I dont think has been addressed. I would just get a 8core CPU, 32gb 6000 mhz as a gamer, and a mid ranged card like 4060 16gb or something that is above 12gb vram.

[woeful junco]

also you wont find any benchmarks for the game since its still unfinished and can be made outdated in few weeks or months

[eager sandal]

Reforger this time around are more GPU dependent than previous title, where they were more CPU dependent.

[fading canyon]

Is there any point in carrying a canteen?

[molten moat]

When update?

[eager sandal]

Well I shoud add that I had a Ryzen 3700X and a RX 5700XT. Then I upgraded to Ryzen 5800X3D, and the FPS in reforger barely change. But I got quite a boost in Arma 3 though. That's why I think Reforger is more GPU dependent this time around.

[half locust]

yes indeed reforger is using the gpu a lot more

i updated from a 5950x and 3080 to a 7950x and 4070 TI super and frames improved and got more stable (both with 128gb ram)

also #hardware_vs_arma

[terse cloak]

Not known

[sand verge]

There are also very specific use cases.

For example, turn hardware AA to x8 and you need a 4080 to get good frames.

However with the upcoming increase in grass view distance, I think cpu strength does become more important to get the full 300 meters. Uncertain if higher clock speed (intel) or larger cache (amd) will be preferable

[steel cargo]

does anybody know where to go to find how to set up ServerAdminTools?

[foggy ridge]

Qr code in in-game menu

[dim quiver]

just cleared my cache on xbox and everything is blurry ingame help

not my tv since all my other games look fine

little less blurry when i change to high graphics but still blurry

[west jacinth]

Can you make a screenshot/picture of your in-game video settings?

[dim quiver]

im on xbox we only get "low" or "high"

[west jacinth]

OK. I thought that you can change something more.

[dim quiver]

nope

it only became blurry after i deleted all my saved data

[west jacinth]

Take a look here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kc5gpo/psa_try_this_if_you_have_blurry_graphics_on_xbox/

[dim quiver]

don't have an xbox one

and a completely different game

[west jacinth]

It shows some solutions for general problem, not game-specific. It may work. For many issues with Xbox clearing MAC address works.

[dim quiver]

at that point i'd rather just deal with the blur, not feeling like re-downloading all my games

[west jacinth]

OK. How about MAC address?

[dim quiver]

thats what im referring to

hard/factory reset

[west jacinth]

AFAIK MAC address reset is not factory reset.

[dim quiver]

didnt know that mb

[west jacinth]

By clearing the alternate MAC address, you are essentially reverting the Xbox console to use its original MAC address for network communication.

I've met many players in Reforger who had hardware issues, apparently unrelated to any network settings, yet clearing MAC address resolved their problems.

[dim quiver]

i'll look into it

[west jacinth]

Screenshot is from here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/errors/error-code-0x82d40006
So it's not some shady tips-and-tricks page.
Well, it's a shady page, but run by multi-billion company...

[dim quiver]

cleared my MAC address, and everything is still blurry

[foggy ridge]

why would the visuals of a game depend on your network address?

I dont have enough IQ for this

[dim quiver]

idk man, figured it was worth a shot. all i havent tried are deleting and reinstalling the game

[fossil condor]

When is thingie happening

[finite turret]

At this point in time we can neither confirm nor deny any timeline.

[west jacinth]

It may not depend on that, but on XBOX clearing MAC address is like rebooting your PC.

[west jacinth]

Have you solved the problem?

[foggy ridge]

on series s the game is very blurry by default, idk if its resolution scaling or just low res, idk about series x

[west jacinth]

I've never seen Reforger on Xbox, so I don't even know how "blurry" is to blurry. That's why I was asking him about any additional graphic settings.

[foggy ridge]

yea I have it on series S and it is permanently blurry on all settings (which are only "low" and "high" if I remember correctly)

[west jacinth]

I remember an Xbox guy in the game who had extremely dark night, like he couldn't see anything at all. Solution for that was turning on HDR. In order to do it, a TV must support 4K. He had all that, but he still couldn't turn on HDR. Clearing MAC address helped. I was surprised even more than him and I asked myself exactly this question: "why would the visuals of a game depend on your network address".

Maybe it was something else that triggered the setting to work properly, but it happened after clearing MAC.

[dim quiver]

im on series X. this is a new issue

[foggy ridge]

cant help ya, maybe try asking in #reforger_xbox

[lusty sedge]

Yeah I’ve had it since may on the series x, my experimental version is fine. I refuse to play multiplayer it’s just ruined my experience completely.

It makes the game look like absolutely crap, forced to play 30fps if I want to see something 🫤

[foggy ridge]

when I played it on my series s it was unbearable because I couldnt see jack beyond like 100 meters

it made me understand why xbox players cant aim at long distances, its not that they are bad at aiming they just dont see me

[lusty sedge]

Yeah 💯, I came from a series s, when I swapped to an x eventually and it wasn’t cracked it was so much better, but I think 4K is only for high settings, which is 30 fps unfortunately. But series s users suffer

[lucid tulip]

can xbox users use "high" settings with a lower resolution like 1440P or 1080P? if not that should be an option so one gets better graphical fidelity without having that tied into higher resolution.

[lusty sedge]

Honestly I’m not too sure I’m assuming it’s 4k because I play 1080 and it gets really sharp looking, but I’m assuming it’s better resolution because of how much sharper it is

But I agree with you I wish I could keep the frames with the fidelity if I’m not using that resolution

[urban moss]

Figured I'd ask eventually, but does anyone have suggestions for improving input lag / latency with Reforger on PC?
My typical performance is ~50 FPS with most of my graphical settings at low. I disabled VSync, and confirmed that my GPU usage is always maxed out. Didn't figure out a way to get detailed measurements like frame times, but the game is generally smooth for me. Despite that, my input latency feels consistently high compared to other games like Arma 3, even when I might go under <30 FPS during CPU-intensive scenes.

[west jacinth]

That's Reforger. It's slow paced game and compared to other games it feels like everything is on 3/4 of speed.

[azure stone]

Figured I'd ask here since I can't find the advice channel, any recommendations on what to do as a new arma reforger player? Just got done downloading not even 10 mins ago and my body has already hit the soil like twice

[slow pagoda]

you have landed your question on the right channel. Start from the tutorial.

[topaz whale]

Did my scope get shot?

[woeful junco]

yes

[eager sandal]

Wait x minutes. It'll get fixed, when the decal is cleaned up

[tepid mauve]

did reforger support Local Mod?

[ancient rapids]

No

[woeful junco]

yes you just put mod in mod folder

[tepid mauve]

[woeful junco]

and direct connect to server

[ancient rapids]

Well only in a local server, don't think you can do that on an mp server

[woeful junco]

direct content to a server you can

[ancient rapids]

Oh so you can run mods that are not in the workshop then?

[tepid mauve]

umm..i'm gonna open MP server

[woeful junco]

you just bypass that shitty windows xp home server BI set up

[ancient rapids]

And it's not an exploit?

[woeful junco]

I dont think you can do that on console.

[tepid mauve]

i'm PC

[ancient rapids]

I didn't think they allowed that

[woeful junco]

dedmen and someone else who I wont name is not apart of the dev team has said that

[tepid mauve]

What has been inconvenient so far has been that if the mod used by the server is updated while the server is open, new users are restricted from entering

So I'm going to use the local mods

I'm glad there's a way

[woeful junco]

ive never heard of that

[ancient rapids]

I mean they started their own workshop to have more control over the mods and banning those who break the rules. If they allow this, they might as well have stayed with the steam workshop!

[woeful junco]

well think of it like this. its more convoluted, its not something random people are gonna do. and its done for console mod support. other games like snow runners does the same thing with a website

[topaz whale]

it was weird because I couldn't see a bullet hit on the gun in 3rd person

[pallid wigeon]

Is Antistasi still in the design phase?

[finite turret]

We (The Antistasi Dev Team, not BI) unfortunately ran into some unforeseen obstacles, slowing the overall process. That's all I can say for now.

[pallid wigeon]

Got it thanks

[foggy ridge]

bro described almost every mod experience of mine

[finite turret]

The two stages of modding life:

1. Hope
2. Cope

[minor acorn]

forgot the third point:

3. Give up

[foggy ridge]

3. Ask for help in Discord and get ignored
4. Give up

[finite turret]

5. Get through the pain and do it anyways even though there is no gain in it?

[foggy ridge]

actually, yes

[tepid torrent]

relatable 🤣

[foggy ridge]

what do you mean there is no modding tech support????

[fierce oar]

GM question. How to spawn a particular player where I want them? I.e. how to select a player and how to teleport them elsewhere? I can tp myself with space, can I tp a player from a player list this wat if i dont know where they are

[foggy ridge]

they need to be spawned for you to be able to teleport them

[fierce oar]

They are spawned but I don't know where they are

[foggy ridge]

they will be on the weird menu on bottom right, somewhere

[fierce oar]

With all the spawned players?

[foggy ridge]

yup

in the small window thing

that only lists like 10 items and doesnt tell you what it is unless you hover over it

[fierce oar]

Mhm, not very user friendly 🙂

And i can spawn with space like myself?

[foggy ridge]

space spawns you a character if you dont have one, teleports you to a location if you do

[fierce oar]

Only me, not a selected group if im not in that group?

[foggy ridge]

to my knowledge the functionality of spacebar is what I said

[fierce oar]

Thank you!

Maybe this way i can get players stuck in a vehicle

[west jacinth]

"Enabled lag compensation, 29 frames with 100 FPS and 280 ms rewind limits"
What does it mean in the game?

[terse cloak]

its on the ps store now but no date

[half locust]

Announce that it is listed on PS5 store?

[queen oxide]

Announce that it is coming to PS5

[terse cloak]

yeah it has been annouced that its coming to ps5, just no date

[queen oxide]

Where is it announced? PS5?

[terse cloak]

in the gamescom interviews i linked to you a few months ago

[queen oxide]

Last update stated that it will release to PS5 but no info can be given, then we get gamescon and still no info or update that it was there, and now it's on PS5 store and no announcement that it is there

Not a big deal, just odd

[terse cloak]

ah misread

[terse cloak]

what exactly do you mean by no info from the gamescom interviews

[half locust]

there is nothing more to announce until there is a release date, is the point i was trying to make

[orchid shuttle]

Soon maybe? Idk I mean from what I've heard there is crossplatform code for ps5 on the experimental branch. Either way I would love to see the ps5 players get in on the game.

[prime zealot]

Around Dec 25 was the rumor I last heard, don't have any links or anything to back it up besides reforger magically got added on ps5 before December

[terse cloak]

the game is on the store but no updates this week

[ancient rapids]

The devs do take a decent Christmas vacation, so I don't see that date as accurate at all.

[prime zealot]

They could be done just waiting for sony to approve cause I know sony loves taking time to approve stuff

Worse case just wishful thinking none the less still have $80 saved to buy it the sec it launches

[gleaming holly]

$80?? Is that how much it is now

[terse cloak]

its 40 euros not 80 on steam and xbox

[prime zealot]

Just as a precaution

Games I want I set aside roughly $100

[past kayak]

Dumb question I always wanted to ask: why to under barrel rifle grenades fail to detonate when shot at extremely close quarter? Seems like they just disappear into the geometry

[tepid torrent]

safety timing so some bongo dont shoot himself

likewise with launchers

[tiny latch]

Minimum arm distance/timer saves lives

[past kayak]

Oh wow, never knew that! Shouldnt we heard the casing ricochet around if shot indoors tho? It just seems like the projectile is deleted or disappears into thin air is all

[supple wigeon]

They do ricochet I think the angle has to be shallow enough

[tepid torrent]

yeah, they should have some more complex interactions I agree

[eager sandal]

Once upon a time I've seen LAW rounds ricochet of the ground. Don't know if it can still do. Haven't using them a lot these days

[lofty pine]

SO I CANT GET MY TERRIAN to show its white

[inland ether]

Not sure if this is the right channel but here we go:

Anyone playing the game on Geforce Now?
If yes, did you find a way to include your discord audio in the clip recordings?

[slow pagoda]

#enfusion_terrain

[dusky mist]

Hey, I was wondering if we could maybe add a parachute mod to the Vietnam 67 server.

[terse cloak]

ask on their discord

[dusky mist]

I thought this was

[terse cloak]

no, this is the discord for arma. You will find the discord link for the vietnam server when you are playing in the server

[timber edge]

question, will we get any ship props(LHD/LPD) or an AAV to pair with the LAV or is it just because its the only real IFV in the US arsenal besides the bradley (which saw less use in combat zones)

I mean if you can say anything, I understand if not

[half locust]

all major content is listed on the roadmap. there is no aav or lhd there, also bi said there won’t be tracked vehicles for the foreseeable future (as in not in reforger)

[terse cloak]

Tracked vehicles are out of the scope of reforger

[timber edge]

Alright

Sorry i just added in the AAV, main point was the ship seeing as the LAV would be the first amphibious vehicle that'd be regularly staged from a ship, in reforger.

[stray blade]

Well lore wise one side had to deploy ship near everon/arland to land their hardware (they couldnt both share same airfield) but imagine ship is way off shore

And landing crafts sailed back already

[timber edge]

I wanna say according to ofp didn't they primarily fly in and ferry from malden?

[stray blade]

Lore in reforger doesnt make sanse. So you can apply w/e backstory to it

Everon relocated to pacific magically. And malden is in mediteranian sea so...

[timber edge]

Are you sure the new everon is in the pacific? I mean sure it's not an arid island like Malden to an extent

And maidens not in the Mediterranean, it's in the Atlantic Ocean from what I recall

[stray blade]

Sry mid atlantic. But used to be located in Northeren sea

At the time of opf

[timber edge]

Yeah. Either way everon is near Malden even after the retcon (according to arma 3 which was what the retcon was from)

[stray blade]

Not to mention french village names and czech speaking population (in atlantic). Lore trys to make up for it, but it doesnt make much sense tbf

So honestly any backstory would fly

[timber edge]

Oh and will the LAV have an IR/night vision sight? I can't recall if the variant of the time did

[chrome sphinx]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

We got absolutely no info on that other than that the USSR counterpart won't get nightvision

[timber edge]

Oh someone explicitly said the soviet counterpart won't get night vision?

[chrome sphinx]

Yeah

[timber edge]

Interesting, mind linking the post

[chrome sphinx]

Reddit post, comment from Developer.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ArmaReforger/comments/1gocrgb/do_you_think_the_brdm2_will_have_night_vision/

[timber edge]

Thanks

[stray blade]

They did

[timber edge]

Ah alright thanks, I couldn't find documentation on it besides the 'thermal' scope thrown on em in i think '06

[stray blade]

Well improvement system ITSS in LAV25A2 only mentions replacement of existing thermal and fire control systems by ones designed by Raytheon. What it actually replaced is difficult to find.

Since LAV25A1 revision didnt do anything to its internal systems.
Which implies sights were present in lav25

[timber edge]

Thanks, that sets me a bit more at ease. Cant wait to sit watching a checkpoint with the IR sight for hours. If we get it

[stray blade]

Well developers could apply "creative freedom" to certain aspects of lav

[timber edge]

Yeah I know, it might not get it, just hoping it does, if not it's still gonna be a beast just limited to daytime ops, it's footprints too large to run at night without setting a defensive posture

[stray blade]

OH upon DEEPER reading i found this: (source: http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/lav25.html)

During the Gulf War deployment in early 1991, an external thermal sight was added for the vehicle commander. This was later replaced with an integrated thermal sight for the gunner that featured a remote display for the commander. Similarly, a thermal viewer for the driver replaced his image intensifying periscope.
Original equipment was:
image intensifying periscope M36/LAV for gunner and commander, image intensifying periscope for driver
M36 periscope is: https://www.optexsys.com/products/ddan-m36-sights/

So youd get NVG but no thermal

[timber edge]

Good, id only need nvgs, just want to see movements in the dark

[stray blade]

Yeah its supposed to have GEN2 nvg, with later versions receiving GEN3

[timber edge]

Gen 2 ain't bad, ain't bad at all

Now I'm wondering about the armor profile. From all accounts it can survive 7.62, but I'm more worried about the Russian brdms getting clapped by .50s on mutts and humvees, and turrets? I mean it's fine, just requires strategy just wondering

[stray blade]

it wont survive .50 or 14.5 caliber.
its and APC not an IFV.
also 7.62 is probs against 7.62x39 not 7.62x54R (SVD & PKM).

[timber edge]

And that 7.62 armor protection was referring to the lav

[stray blade]

yes, brdm and BTR have much the same. Its intention is to bring infantry to the front, while protecting them from small arms and artillery fragments

[timber edge]

Oh I get it now, BRDM is to be a counter to the LAV like the various .50s are to the btr, to an extent? Explained weird

The brdm fills more of the role of the humvee with an M2 than LAV is all I mean

[stray blade]

yes, both BRDM and BTR are quite competent in taking down LAV with its machineguns. LAV is also quite competent in take BTR and BRDM down. The upside of lav is that it has night fighting capabilities and the upside of BRDM and BTR is troop capacity and numbers

[timber edge]

Yeah, I just mean the brdm is more of an analog of the humvee than LAV, albeit fulfilling a different role due to its armoring

[stray blade]

all three are APCs. humvee is just transport vehicle, sure it has a .50 cal but still, its a car none the less

[timber edge]

Yeah, I just mean it'll be something more common than a btr to counter the LAV. Similar to how the mutt and humvees with .50s are a common counter to btrs if you can use them effectively

Even though there is a big disparity in their roles

[random rapids]

Why are my AI changing faction to US when i change their loadout with Bacon Loadout Editor?
Trying to set up scenarios in GameMaster
The little diamonds disappear above their heads and everything

[foggy ridge]

some mod breaks it for you, as the loadout editor loadouts do not preserve faction as part of the loadout I believe

[drowsy quartz]

NATO liberates Malden only after an entire carrier battle group arrives as reinforcements (who then go on to liberate Everon). Blake mentions the CBG sailing towards Malden after the flashpoint kicks off:
https://i.imgur.com/XAaD8Nl.png
As for how Guba's forces got to Everon, they didn't have to travel far since Kolgujev isn't as distant as CONUS or mainland Europe. Not to mention that Reforger now has a Soviet airbase on Arland.

[lucid tulip]

#reforger_experimental message

yeah there was a thermal sight pulled from tow launcher optics and mounted onto the Commander position on exterior. However the improved thermal sight was a replacement of a dedicated gunners sight, but our reforger LAv25 dont get it because aforementioned Sighting system didnt enter production until 1991, but actual mounting of it is oviously post Gulf war. IF 1989 is a technological cutoff date then only night vision.

[stray blade]

Yeah found it here ^

[lucid tulip]

its weird that night vision was outright denied for BDRM-2 but somehow not for LAV-25 . im reading that and BTR70 can be installed with TVNO-2B night vision device for the driver, TKN-1 or TKN-3 day/night sight periscope for the commander position. SO if night vision optics are denied for BDRM 2 and presumably BTR70 i don't see why anyone can expect BI would then bother modelling night vision for LAV25 in reforger.

[stray blade]

Well tbf brdm2 and btr70 are only upgraded with nvg. Not produced in such way... ask for what BI does...
Id be happy just getting working periscopes and hatches

[tepid torrent]

Yeah soviet commander day/night sight would be nice, so would the use of IR headlight

[lucid tulip]

Even if you think thats how its done. its a terrible excuse to omit night vision for BDRM-2, and BTR70, but then allow such a feature for LAV-25.

So im not expecting Night vision for the LAV25 if its denied for BDRM-2

IF they do. GL explaining to the community why US deserves functional night vision but soviet vehicles are denied them even if they had it IRL.

[woeful junco]

btr 70 and brdm 2 both have night vision capability, they are both 1st gen and require good environmental lighting or active light

[half locust]

it isn’t denied as you’ve phrased it.
It is highly unlikely that any if the vehicles will have NVG sight systems, because that would require such a system be produced to begin with.

[lucid tulip]

we are all referencing klamacz responding to a post in reddit that No BDRM-2 will not have night vision in reforger. He didnt explicity deny it for LAv-25 hence why ia am saying that its not expected for any vehicles since it would be unfair to deny Night sights for 1 side but give it to the other.

[lucid tulip]

yes this is why such vehicles have IR lamps.

[half locust]

i know what you are referring to. I am saying that his reply can be taken as a general reply, despite the question that was towards a specific vehicle - there won’t be nvg in reforger for neither us or ru…

[timber edge]

Aw shucks, i just hope I can hide my LAV or BRDM in the dark pretty well, so someone won't stumble onto it

[stray blade]

use it as a sea turret 😄

Steve-E drove BTR 70 on to the little island near mil base on arland. Its near impossible to hit it with RPG7, but that 14.5 mg can kill pretty easily at that range.

Then some madlad took a 10 minute swim and blew it up.

[thorn furnace]

With helicopter rockets, mortars and autocannons I guess these sort of cheese tactics will be less plausible as there is something to counter everything.

[sand bramble]

When a bug on feedback tracker gets marked "awaiting internal testing" what does that mean exactly?

[stray blade]

... exactly what it says?

[ancient rapids]

eventually they will update the ticket, generally after the internal testing has happened.

[sand bramble]

is internal testing different to the experimental branch testing?

[sand bramble]

thanks for the helpful response 👍

not everyone understands developer lingo, no need to be a smart ass

[lucid tulip]

yeah very unfortunate.

[topaz nexus]

Has anything been said about reload animations for guns on vehicles or tripods? Would be nice to have a visual element rather than staring at the bar filling up in the corner

[ancient rapids]

Yes

I don't think dude was being a smart ass, there's not many ways to explain that.

[west jacinth]

I think that with mortars it will be the same as with howitzers in A3. Only a very few players will actually use them effectively because of slightly steeper learning curve, compared to other weapons.

[tepid torrent]

I have some thoughts on future iterations of mortars, considering they will most likely be assembled they will not come with a dirt base like seen in the construction truck blueprint, leading me to hope that adjustments to the terrain will be needed to level mortar, I hope this becomes a feature accessible through E-tool, and eventually aids in digging trenches for vehicles and infantry

[lucid tulip]

In vanilla arma 3 using any artillery was easy because it was just a matter of putting a crosshair on map where you want to shoot and press fire button

[west jacinth]

I played mostly RHS-modded servers. And there using M109 required some experience.

[lucid tulip]

Which m109 variant was it? Because Irrc the m109a6 paladin is the variant that in use since at least the late 90s. it had digital fire control integration.

[quaint copper]

There isnt an M109 in the game rn

[lucid tulip]

I'd imagine it makes it easier to use then 109 manual aiming of older variations

[west jacinth]

I don't remember now, it was 2 years ago.

[west jacinth]

@lucid tulip
I may be mistaken, I've just checked, probably it was M4 Scorcher.

It was on vehicle KOTH servers.

[quaint copper]

How long ago?
I dont recall any self propelled artillery except a Russian one made by RHS, a Grad made by a Russian fella, and an MLRS made by Strider

[west jacinth]

Whatever, there was some howitzer on KOTH. Shooting behind the horizon line required some knowledge. So few people used it.

[eager sandal]

There is a fire sound for a fire pit/camp fire, but why we don't have burning sound for vehicles that's burning?

[foggy ridge]

bc the vehicle has a muffler

[terse cloak]

What does a fire sound like on a vehicle

[eager sandal]

Don't know, but it must be raging, burning wreck. Certainly not silent...

[topaz whale]

Is there a way to get this off my screen?

[topaz whale]

The answer is quitting and restarting I guess. Nothing goti t off the screen. No idea how it got stuck there either.

[terse cloak]

iirc doing it by going to the map and opening the commanding menu

[topaz whale]

I tried the map, game master, respawn screen. Never went away. Didn't try the command menu... not even sure what button that is anymore

[terse cloak]

right click on map a few times

[verbal mesa]

This bug happens to me all the time and so does not being able to ADS at random times 😭

[vital steppe]

I've found (at least) two bugs affecting Reorger when played on Linux using Proton. Is there a place to report those? Or is Proton play unsupported.

[topaz whale]

Same. Sometimes I have to reload by holding R and looking at the mag too

[verbal mesa]

I don't remember these problems really happening when playing regular multiplayer which leads me to ask, are you the host of the server when these things are happening?

[hollow sequoia]

When does 1.2.1 release?

[terse cloak]

not known

[topaz whale]

Yes

[verbal mesa]

So it must be a big related to the host of the server then. Probably won't happen on a dedicate

[warped sparrow]

Does anyone know whose stage this is?

I think it's a great idea for players looking for a co-op experience with friends or solo, reminds me of ground branch.

If you ever see it as a scenario creator, it would be great if you enabled the Russian and FIA arsenal to have more diversity of equipment.

In itself, with the American equipment it's immersive, if you add Russian and FIA arsenal boxes you'll make it much more diverse, especially if you allow the possibility of arsenals with equipment mods! P.S. I don't know if this should be posted here

[woeful junco]

whats a stage?

[warped sparrow]

I mean scenario?

[verbal mesa]

It is DELTA - One's

[topaz whale]

Might be true but my only option is hosting so kind of stuck with that

[verbal mesa]

Yea same with me haha

[warped sparrow]

How could I contact him?

[verbal mesa]

No idea.

[random rapids]

Any modpacks that have Winter/Alpine vests, helmets or backpacks??? Modern day preferably

[lofty pine]

@slow pagoda see thats the shit i cant stand i would not be coming here tryingh to get help if that helped wow man every one just says check the wikkie or check what ever no one wants yto help some one learn and figure somrthing out its allways check enfusion

[slow pagoda]

Excuse me what?

[tepid mauve]

Is there anything for Reforger that prevents auto-update of mods?
If the mode is updated while the server is on, people who come in later will not be able to connect

[foggy ridge]

it will downgrade mod versions to match server when they join

[lofty pine]

@slow pagodaif u dont under stand what i said check the wikki

[slow pagoda]

your hostility is uncalled for. dont ping me with meaningless spam

[lofty pine]

@slow pagodawell thats what u pretty much said to me

[slow pagoda]

I have no idea who you are and what you are referring to

but for modding stuff wiki is the first step to look at for guides

[lofty pine]

do i really have to copy the text of wha u replied to when i asked for map help

[slow pagoda]

commonly people use the reply function.

but looking at the history now I was pointing you to address your question on the relevant channel

where the people who might know answers frequent

but also yeah check the wiki for terrain tutorial so you got all the steps right

[kindred basalt]

is there any auto restart after one of the sides win ?

[west jacinth]

Yes, just wait in the debriefing screen.

[kindred basalt]

it gets stucks on water

[thick quest]

Hey all anyone know if there’s a mod which adds a Medical Stretcher? Sorry if this is the wrong channel

[tepid mauve]

How do I get into Arma Reforger experimental version?

or How do I switch to Arma Reforger regular version?

[half locust]

you install it, it is a different application. so don’t switch, you start the application you want (stable or experimental)

[tepid mauve]

oh

i checked it, it's my mistake

[rotund sphinx]

No, not yet but if your looking for a way to move injured use "ACE Carry", use the "Dragger" mod or both

[storm acorn]

And if I have an experimental version mod, how can I upload it to the stable version? Maybe a stupid question, but I've never tried this before.

[half locust]

depends on the workbench version you use

[storm acorn]

I had already uploaded my mod in experimental workbench

[fathom path]

What is the ideal view distance for grass or just view distance for a server that Xbox players play the most.

[foggy ridge]

0 grass distance default view distance for pvp

defaults for pve

[fathom path]

Thanks

[thick quest]

Alright. Thank you!

[strong frigate]

So destruction is coming Thursday? We know like nothing about it, right? Weird we haven’t seen any like dev footage

[gleaming holly]

Nah, destruction is 1.3 according to the devlog. This update is 1.2.1.x, itll bring encumberence, suppressors, etc

[strong frigate]

Ah fuck

Mortars too? Or is that 1.3?

[terse cloak]

1.2.1 wont get anymore features other than what are in it now

[strong frigate]

Ah gotcha well that’s a bummer. - I haven’t played it so no idea what’s in it

[shut juniper]

how likely is 1.2.1 to break mods?

[terse cloak]

all clothing mods

[robust gulch]

Strictly speaking they have "only" promised PS5 on Thursday. 1.2.1 would be a nice bonus

[terse cloak]

shows suppressors, says in 3 days, suppressors are in 1.2.1

[robust gulch]

That would be a solid hint. On the other hand, the grenade @ 0:20 has a "DELAY" inscription😄

[flint dragon]

hey @ancient rapids does your MINES REMIXED mod work? I mean by generating randomly mines around the map?

I was testing it in my server but can't figure out if it was working properly

[ancient rapids]

It does, check your server profile folder for a config file that should be generated on first run of the mod.

[half locust]

the two are correlated.

#reforger_experimental message

[tepid mauve]

Is there a mod where players set their own respawn points?
Like Squad

Not the game master

[woeful junco]

in conflict you have mobile spawn trucks and radios

[tepid mauve]

Umm I’m wanna use it at combat ops

[hushed estuary]

One of our guys is out of the country, and contributors were removed on some mods randomly. Assuming theres an update this thursday, could we have anyone add our emails onto the mods that are missing it in the backend?

[verbal mesa]

are you required to setup a dedicated server for this as in you have to get launch params? Can you use the ingame host option?

[tepid mauve]

I'm sorry to keep asking you questions
Is it possible to proceed to PVE in Conflict mod?

[terse cloak]

#reforger_experimental message

frog means update.

[twilit junco]

how can you delete your mod from workshop if you lost the original file mod ? because when you open original mod file you can delete it from workshop in its menu, but what if you dont have original file

[eager sandal]

What does "use software cursor" setting actually do?

[stray blade]

Use windows default cursor ingame?

[eager sandal]

Why would anyone do that? Is there a benefit doing it?

[foggy ridge]

there has not been a single case ever in history of video games where using software cursor was more beneficial than not

[stray blade]

What if you have a very sexy custom cursor?

[tepid torrent]

Like the win xp banana?🍌

[verbal mesa]

Check out Chillfam servers for some great PvE conflict

[stray blade]

umm... lets say yes...

[loud bluff]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5F221132A12BF9B1

Are there any known conflicting mods with this mod? Every time I put it in my server, the server fails to start.

[flint dragon]

let me ask ... does it work for gm also?

[ancient rapids]

I don't think there is any use for it to be in gm. The config file controls all options and you can't change them once the server is started.

[keen harness]

will there be a platinum trophy for this game on PlayStation

[slow pagoda]

There is no information about such things released yet.

[mossy lodge]

Hey lads, does anyone know how many FPS you should reach in Reforger with a 7800X3D + RTX4080Super? (Highest settings)

[stray blade]

At least 1 fps

[foggy ridge]

I am at 60 cap very often with a 7950x and same gpu

I have everything maxed except grass I think, grass always on minimum because I am not a loser

[haughty sail]

Hey how much time does it take for supplies to despawn when you put them on the ground ?

[lucid tulip]

Environment quality seems to really kill performance with very minimal visual difference between high and ultra or even medium tbh. The option setting is misleading as its really volumetric lighting and clouds it affects?
