reforger_questions

[tepid torrent]

Yes I have only noticed changes in atmosphere shading and clouds

[near oak]

Nah grass always on ultra. Would rather die looking pretty than having more fps 🤣

[tepid torrent]

Grass doesn't kill fps too much

At least that is what I have noticed

[foggy ridge]

I keep grass low for visibility not for performance

[near oak]

It's a little cheaty tho keeping it low

Imo but I know in multiple fsp games grass is a difficult topic.

[foggy ridge]

Game allows me to do it so

[near oak]

Fair. Breaks the spirt of gameplay. Still tho personally just like the visuals. Cuz of "my immersion" lol

[tepid torrent]

It is easier to find frogs when grass is on low

[tepid torrent]

Yeah, I play for the experience not the score, so having 300 M grass is great

[foggy ridge]

Its not a huge advantage but ill take any advantage

[near oak]

It's a lot easier to find mines with low grass

[tepid torrent]

I hope we can bury mines in future, I did a test in workbench sinking mine into the terrain and placing a mesh with the adaptive ground material on top, it looked pretty convincing

[near oak]

Would love that. I wonder how ap mines are gonna work.

You should also make a mod if That's possible for hose sunken mines

[tepid torrent]

I was thinking of releasing a mod but ran out of time and hoped devs would just put it in the game eventually

[ancient rapids]

I made a mod that just sinks them into the ground so you can only really see the pressure plate above the surface.

[near oak]

Am I able to use it now? Or like is it in the mod browser?

[ancient rapids]

Yes, I think I called it "mines remixed"

[near oak]

I'll have e to look it up. Thanks!

[red canyon]

Hello

When i try the log any server

I take battleeye error i did try everything but still same error

Pls help me

[stray blade]

post screenshot of the error

[red canyon]

One sec

[stray blade]

Son, you are screwed. Hope issue goes away on its own...
There is no known fixes for that, bar reinstalling windows.

[red canyon]

Damn

[stray blade]

you can try something but it wont work 95%

[red canyon]

I wanna try

%5 is good

[stray blade]

#reforger_troubleshooting message

[red canyon]

Still same

[stray blade]

well 5% is not alot

[twilit mirage]

This is in one match right? Not between all?

[stray blade]

One match, you better step up your game.

[twilit mirage]

I already got it

[stray blade]

No its between all matches

[twilit mirage]

That's why I was asking lol

[stray blade]

The one match stuff says so, eg "Trucker Joe"

[twilit mirage]

Hmm

Only 1.5% having it is sad then

[stray blade]

not THAT many ppl play only official

[twilit mirage]

They should

Puts hair on your chest. I play modded but official is still the best imo.

[stray blade]

funny that you say that

Ive been arguing that chest hair should be added to reforger since day of its release

[twilit mirage]

True, we need beards, chest hair and arm hair. And don't forget the ass hair.

[topaz whale]

Ouch. Did this get added after EA or during?

[stray blade]

after, all of them

[topaz whale]

Oh okay. That's a little less sad then

[stray blade]

or just means you respect geneva convention and dont execute ppl when they are down 😛

[topaz whale]

Haha no it means I pretty much only play Game Master coop and apparently shot my friendlies 7 times 😄

[stray blade]

i think player HAS to be on enemy team to count

[topaz whale]

Oh maybe it was one of the times I switched to the other team as GM then. I don't commonly do that but I think I have a few times

[stray blade]

you murdered you

[twilit mirage]

Don't worry, just grab an m60 and you'll have it in no time.

I've come across so many Russians crying the m16 is a one shot. I laugh and say that's weird cuz it's an m60.

[terse cloak]

Also achievements were bugged for awhile

[twilit mirage]

God, I can't wait for getting in vehicles to be fixed.

More than half the time I get bugged. I've nearly given up. I'm glad I know how to walk.

[still peak]

Sometimes I can access the trunk of a burning vehicle to grab a wrench, and sometimes I'll burn far before I'm within range. Anyone know what's up with that?

[magic pebble]

some players reported that using a vpn fixed it for them.

[west jacinth]

Find this file:
Uninstall_BattlEye.bat
By default it's here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\battleye
Exit the game, close Steam, run that file. It will remove Battleye. When you'll start the game again Battleye will be installed, there will be some prompts, confirm all (of course read them first).

[tepid torrent]

what does this entail?

[near bolt]

Where is gamemaster?

[stray blade]

Scenarios

[near bolt]

It would be better to leave it as it was

[twilit junco]

maybe they changed it because if you have active mods that needed to work properly to be set on hosting server the game crash/shows error, and then you needed to disable it through tab in workshop, hosting server as GM you kinda fix it

[slate agate]

Did they fix the map bug?

[eager sandal]

When did they remove the chain-link fence sound when climbing over them? Example https://youtu.be/GR8f6nczopM?si=YsaIbAV8QLY5Nk33&t=2. This was during EA.

[twilit junco]

?

[slate agate]

Game freezing for 10 secs when opening the map

[twilit junco]

i think its depend on pc conf than the game itself

[foggy steppe]

On PlayStation you can hear other players on recordings and streams.

Will this be implemented for Xbox?

[cerulean kayak]

anyone know what the arma reforger FPS keybind is? for PC

[eager sandal]

What is FPS keybind?

[slow pagoda]

more or less fps?

[cerulean kayak]

the keybind to show the framerates yes

[eager sandal]

There was a keybind? All I know there is a setting in UI menu or some such

[cerulean kayak]

unsure thats why im asking

i reset my steam client and it went away

[eager sandal]

There's a setting. Don't know about a keybind. Browse them through...

[cerulean kayak]

it was persisting after I closed the game thats all

[eager sandal]

Here...

[cerulean kayak]

yeah its in the interface settings but its persisting on my desktop after closing reforger

resetting steam works somewhat, still persisting at this moment but it did fix it once

example

[minor acorn]

I don't think that's from Reforger. Could be some overlay, maybe steam or for example geforce experience

[cerulean kayak]

dont think its steam, geforce would make sense

[cerulean kayak]

yep can confirm it was nvidia geforce, thx bb

nvidia geforce statistics overlay

[near forge]

track IR support but no hotas support?

[half locust]

yes

[near forge]

doesnt make since but ok

any idea when we are getting Hotas suppport if at all?

[terse cloak]

No idea

[slow pagoda]

it probably is not a very high priority

[near forge]

sick

[plain turret]

Did they finally fix the audio bug which made you go demon & chipmunk voiced when there was lots of people talking?

[terse cloak]

No

[signal flume]

Could anyone tell me how I play a blank singleplayer mission with mods? All the scenarios fail to launch because I have mods loaded....

[austere nimbus]

Would love to see VR support as well (at least for head tracking), especially because it works nicer than Track IR.
Although with a bit of BI love to the Enfusion engine it should be possible to implement this through mods as well 🤔

[signal flume]

haha... no.. I want to use my mods in the singleplayer gamemaster lol

[hasty isle]

Find the broken mods, remove and try again

[signal flume]

There arent any broken mods... They all function just fine, the scenario just wont open with them because the scenario wasnt created with said mods loaded

[foggy steppe]

Will there be a mini game added while you wait in queue?

[sand verge]

Anyone know where game master has gone from the main menu??

[slow pagoda]

into one of the menus that are still there

[south smelt]

I have mouse control enabled for helicopter but for some reason cyclic forward isn't working but cyclic back is

[foggy steppe]

Unable to place as max budget has been reached

At the same time, there are no living quarters for AIs at any base.

Has anyone encountered this?

[marble garnet]

Im using a keyboard and cyclic forward is working but back isnt- but only if i use down arrow as back! edit: fix is to delete InputUserSettings.conf

[neon meteor]

can a anyone tell me what this exactly does

I thought it has something to do with mouse acceleration but I am not sure

[neon meteor]

@stray blade u are arma wiki pls help

[west jacinth]

What does "Block" option do in players' list?

[half locust]

blocks certain user/player

[novel finch]

Probably the sensitivity when you are Aiming with some scope

[neon meteor]

it affects both scope and no scope aim but I am not sure how it works

[west jacinth]

How does it block? And what does it block? I can still see player's posts in the text chat despite blocking him.

[half locust]

if you connect to a server that has that user present on the server will notify you

i used it afew times on exp branch, i think it block voice chat (i know you can mute individual users)

[stray blade]

I honestly have no idea? Acceleration/sensitivity?

[neon meteor]

No idea, the lower the percentage the more scoped sense becomes like Iron sight sense.

I would like for a dev to explain it tho.

because it's confusing

[stray blade]

zguba is the input guy i think

[woeful junco]

I just changed it to be 1:1

[neon meteor]

I like that too but for some reason it lower iron sense as well

[still peak]

There's two budgets at bases. AI and Object. I'm assuming you were trying to place down a living quarters and couldn't. This likely means that there are too many other buildings at the base. If you just place down one of each of the "functional" buildings, you shouldn't hit the Object limit, so many people aren't as aware of it (while the AI limit is much clearer as you can only have 10 AI). The issues come from when people build up the base with defensive structures, like sandbags, camo-tents, gun emplacements, checkpoints, barricades, etc.. If someone put too many of those down before building a barracks, there won't be room for one.

[winged spoke]

Yes it is, i suggest keep it what it was 100% as it is basically zoom modifier to keep zoom levels consistent to sensitivity speed at distance.

[foggy steppe]

No, that's not it. I'm talking about AI deployment.

[sacred mesa]

playing reforger on server vanilla (pc), press alt-tab to open & read discord and reforger crash...

[stray blade]

you can read a few messages around here and you will find that multiple people had this issue and found a solution

[still peak]

How are you getting that error deploying AI if there's no living quarters to deploy them from?

[stone verge]

Track IR support without hotas support? wtf?

[robust gulch]

Not sure if this is the place to ask, but is there somewhere where compatibility of mods to the new 1.2.1 version are announced? I have had to disable most mods just to check out the new tutorial (pretty well done). Back in A3 the forums would be used for that but they do not seem to be used as much with Reforger

[lucid tulip]

with rocket armed huey cockpit "leaked" for a future patch will we be able to retract the m60 reflex sight? to have better visibility for when not using it for attack purposes?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1025131938207498422/1316828090676281424/image.png?ex=675c773a&is=675b25ba&hm=d5748d1461f67b2b97d0603c55a34098a7d11beb8f29a63408469650cca27a89&

[atomic meteor]

Can someone tell me why BI decided to remove the ability to see the progress of your downloads straight from server join? I legit cant tell if mods are being downloaded. This was poor judgement from whoever green lit this idea

[lucid tulip]

here's how the sight retract function should work if someone's confused whats being asked.

[foggy ridge]

noticed it too but not sure if its a bug or intentionally removed, I think the progress bar is there if you download from the workshop instead of the join server dialog

[magic pebble]

the bar does exist if you download from the workshop

[atomic meteor]

Yeah but im not trying to download one by one from workshop. I like having all mods download at the same time. Its an inconvenience

[magic pebble]

yep, I did all the small one from the server browser, and the big ones like rhs I downloaded straight from the workshop to see the progress

[foggy ridge]

im feelin like its a bug

[stable topaz]

Venom and Mi-8 had retractable sights in Arma 2, should be reet

[lucid tulip]

the Arma 2 were different variants so im not using that as a basis on what different helos should or shouldnt have.

I dont have an mi8 manual on hand il have to research it if the sight it uses is actually retractable

[stable topaz]

Sure I just mean I'd be surprised if they don't provide animated sights this time around, 15 years later 😅
The principle is the same

[dim quiver]

was the mod download progress bar removed or is this a bug

[foggy ridge]

Me thinks bug

[visual pagoda]

Hey that's my photo

[dim quiver]

nuh uh

[visual pagoda]

Yuh huh

[dim quiver]

nuh uh

[fathom osprey]

Is there some documentation available for exactly what does mushrooming, tumbling, cavitation, etc?

[eager sandal]

It's a ballistic speak. Maybe google and wikipedia will help. As for ingame effect, have no idea.

[paper lily]

Wonder if anyone can answer my question? Say I have my own server and I want to put on a conflict gamemode on.. but I only want certain mods, such as tanks, weapons, Vehicles that people can grab from the Terminals.. Do I have to make my own mission from scratch using the Mission maker or can I load a gamemode default and just add those items to the building termals in another way?

[clever thorn]

Anyone else having trouble getting trackIR to work with the new update?

[topaz whale]

Did toggle Radio get removed?

[eager sandal]

What toggle radio do again? They may named it something else.

#reforger_multiplayer message

[topaz whale]

It allowd you to press a button and it would leave the radio channel open

[eager sandal]

Can't say I understand. Probably because I don't use it before. The cycle transceiver thing (Default double Caps Lock), it cycle radio channel. Like in the short range radio, you have squad channel 38Mhz and platoon channel 48Mhz, it cycle between them.

[verbal mesa]

I believe it did get removed, I think it's in the patch notes

[topaz whale]

Normally you press Caps Lock to talk and then release. Toggle allows you to just leave the radio running so you don't need to press caps lock to talk. The radio stays open.

[woeful junco]

yeah well you know people abused the radio so they removed it

[eager sandal]

Ah yes, now I understand. Just like toggle direct talk, but for radio. Yes, I guess it was removed.

[foggy steppe]

I created one and tried to post a group

[robust gulch]

I'm newish to Reforger and getting a script error for Bacon Loadout Editor after 1.2.1 - anyone else getting that ?

[tepid torrent]

To be fair push to talk irl works like this

[foggy steppe]

#reforger_feedback message

[lament edge]

It is a bug

[sand verge]

Question. In stable (no mods), With weapon raised in standard position, when I sprint and then stop, the weapon returns to that same position.

However in exp, it shifts to "low ready" after sprinting.

I am sure this is not a difference between stable and exp branches, but a setting somewhere - any ideas?

[minor acorn]

Could be due to low ready being bound to shift (or whatever your sprint key is)

[sand verge]

Interesting, hadn't thought of that. Thanks

[opal rain]

Yep, check it out!

[neon meteor]

hey did y'all ever figure out what causes that gear bug when driving?

[half locust]

don't.

[unborn torrent]

I mean in game of course

I would never bully somebody on the official arma server!

I also put this in the wrong channel lmao

[half locust]

also don't

[unborn torrent]

Rip

Btw how long do you have to be on the discord to get the veteran role or is it an irl veteran role

[half locust]

nothing to do with discord server, but with community as large, being part of it in a meaningful and helpful way. It doesn't apply to you so far...

[unborn torrent]

Lmfao does the amount of strikes you have play any role?

If so I’m cooked for all the dumbass strikes i got

[finite turret]

I got my role after a few years being part of modding community and CDLC participation

[half locust]

they do ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[half locust]

that was by mistake :))

[unborn torrent]

Lmao sucks getting cooked by some biased mods

[finite turret]

Me modding? Yeah, big mistake 🤣

[unborn torrent]

Not talking about pufu some others…

[half locust]

yes

[unborn torrent]

What is CDLC?

[half locust]

Creator made DLC, a program started by BI

[finite turret]

Creator DLCs for Arma 3, things like SOG Prairie Fire or Spearhead 1944

[unborn torrent]

Oh nice!

Does RHS count as a DLC?

[finite turret]

nope, that's a mod

[half locust]

[pseudo nimbus]

Yo, anyone know how to change push to talk back to the old controls on Xbox? When I hold LB, it only allows me to talk on radio (assuming I have one on me/turned on).

I already changed it back to Legacy, but I just don't want to turn off my radio/press LB+B to be able to talk in proximity chat.

[lusty vector]

For the Lav-25 on experimental, will we see a stabilized cannon and night vision for it ? I believe that’s what they had in 89 or at least stabilized?

[terse cloak]

Neither are in

[timber edge]

alright, I have 2 suggestions, dont know where to throw em, one is the ability to change your height when turned out, at least as the commander in the vehicles. likely through ctrl+scrollwheel on pc. so you only expose however much you need (in addition to being able to use Binos and of course periscope functionality but I think yall probably have it planned) and a Grease gun, which is the common crewman gun even to the 90s

[timber edge]

from what it seems we're not likely to get the night vision until later, like way later

at least based on the one reddit post by I think Dwarden

I retract the bino suggestion, it took a few tried but they work

[sand bramble]

Ctrl + scroll wheel changing height when you turn out is a really good idea 👍

[timber edge]

yeah, i try not to suggest things but I doubt anyones really thought of it

[paper lily]

In Arma tools why cant I find the Map Everon to make a mission for I see Eden and Arland but no Everon?

[timber edge]

also the possibility to mount supplies to an LAV or backpacks for extra storage. to add to the field kitted look and offer some more utility? picture just for idea

and thats all

[real breach]

when i tab out all the sound stops, is there a way i can change this?

[barren laurel]

Is it normal that a Game Master scenario doesn't preserve soldiers' equipment on load?

I prepare and start a GM scenario, i start playing it (using an US Officer), i grab various things from the Arsenal (notably a backpack), i keep playing for a bit, then i save the scenario and quit game.
When i load the scenario later, the officer doesn't have the backpack and various other items i took from the Arsenal.

I wonder if i am just doing something wrong, or if this is just how it is for now?

[twilit mirage]

Anyone know how to put bipod on crtl c? It's trying to make me hold c

[vernal wren]

when they hit stable this is the first thing I'm doing

[verbal mesa]

Do it on exp and have it ready for stable release!

[dim quiver]

does anyone have the pre-1.2.1 controller setup anywhere? trying to revert the absolutely awful communication binds but i cant remember what they are

[half locust]

therr are 2 presets available. use legacy

[dim quiver]

doesnt revert the communication binds back to how they were for some reason

[half locust]

you cannot have open mic anymore

[dim quiver]

only for radio

[half locust]

#1317061035496181781 message

[dim quiver]

dont know how to explain exactly why its bad but ill try my best: if you press the voip button once sometimes it turns on the radio, other times it turns on proxy. this is bad when you need to relay information over the radio, or are just talking to someone right next to you and the whole platoon hears what you said. there must be an option to revert to pre-1.2.1 communication binds.

also switching radio frequencies does not work. you have to inspect the radio and manually change the channel

this makes it way more clunky than it needs to be

also like the dude said, if youre in combat and spot an armored vehicle of some type, and your unit doesn't have AT, and you dont have enough time to relay that to the platoon, youre cooked

and because the "toggle voice" and "radio communication" binds are on the same button, theres a good chance that you get stuck with voip on and hotmic-ing, basically making the new controls useless.

[strong frigate]

What up with downloading mods these days? whenever I try for the past 2-3 weeks they just dont.... download

[dim quiver]

you on xbox? if so blame microsoft

[strong frigate]

No, of course not.

I guess they are downloading - its just not showing the green bar

[dim island]

I have a question, will periscopes once added will they have rain on the screen and stuff in the rain

Like this

[zinc tapir]

How do you equip the silencers that came with 1.3?

I drag them to weapons which does nothing

[timber edge]

Remove the flash hider first

[zinc tapir]

That worked thanks

Shame, it looks like AI still "hears" the gunshots

[verbal grail]

What is the link for the vc discord

[half locust]

for the what?

[viscid basin]

When to expect mods for PS5

[dim quiver]

when sony becomes smart

[viscid basin]

Lmfao

I wanna be fly like my character be on PC version

[verbal grail]

Vietnam discord

[slow pagoda]

youll have to be more specific

[verbal grail]

Nvm i got it

[slow pagoda]

👍

[south smelt]

Is it possible to zoom in the LAV's gun?

[quartz lance]

Suppressed weapon audible range for A.I. is pretty far 100m.
They will also notice suppressed weapon fire if you shoot directly in their direction.
Guess to simulate A.I. hearing the impact of the projectile.

[magic pebble]

should be further tbh. 100m is crazy low

[foggy ridge]

maybe its an attempt at balancing

my suppressors mod capped out at like 80 meters and people still complained that "it doesnt do anything against AI"

[magic pebble]

people want to be sam fisher. suppressor in a game like arma should be heard across the map

[viscid basin]

@foggy ridge would your mods come to ps

[foggy ridge]

I hope so

[viscid basin]

Dope like your work yo

[cerulean token]

Can we have a playtest for the 1.3 expy update? With the size of this patch it only seems appropriate. Bet we could get some people together.

[strong frigate]

Where can I adjust TrackIr settings? not seeing it anywhere in the menus

[short crest]

how can i play with a friend on pc? do we have to join the same server or is there an option to invite him to a party or something?

[magic pebble]

join the same server

[short crest]

thanks

[winter zephyr]

Just like with players, it makes it harder to hear, not impossible.

[amber vector]

Im trying to host a dedicated server but it keeps crashing due to the PS5 crossover. How do I go about hosting with my mods for my xbox?

[foggy ridge]

what does your server crashing have to do with PS5?

[amber vector]

I believe in the logs it say PS% not supported. I just reset my server

I have my log

I dont have any mods in either

[foggy ridge]

pay attention to what the log says, nothing to do with ps5

[amber vector]

Thank you

[shrewd nova]

It looks like there was another update so it will be the same fix as before

[amber vector]

Thank you both for the info

[sacred mesa]

playing on pc usually i open discord to chat with teammate. before update i have no problem, now when i switch the app (alt-tab) and Reforger goes in background the game freeze and crash

[lucid tulip]

Is the lAv 25 supposed to be able to switch between 2 types of FOV? ( IE lesser and higher magnification for gunner sight given that button?)

or is this some sort of later modification? the 1984 manual apparently only had 3 buttons on the stick?

http://afvdb.50megs.com/usa/pics/lav25/lav25.html 1. Hand controls. 2. Main/coax switch. 3. 200/100/SS switch. 4. HE/AP switch. 5. Trigger. 6. Palm switch.

[verbal mesa]

It's possible they made another mistake like that was done with the Hummvee

[lucid tulip]

I don't have a newer manual to compare to. Don't know if there were any changes in 1989. It's common for manuals to get revisions, and have pertinent changes to systems via tearing out outdated pages and replacing new ones, rather then throwing out all the old manuals and printing entirely new ones. ( manuals will have a page s aaying when revisions were added and which pages were changed) I don't have a newer revision or publication to compare to. So I'm not sure if this a mistake or something was modified by 1989, and therefore acurately modelled?

[verbal mesa]

No idea from me. I don't know much about early LAVs

[craggy seal]

Anyone else having issues with server browser? It takes a long time to attempt to load servers and can't join servers

[craggy seal]

Everytime i try to join a server it fails and says an Internal Error has Occured

[languid lodge]

#socials

Issue with the server is being investigated by BI

[timber edge]

also they have SLEP markings. saying SLEP refits were done on 1983. im no expert but SLEP was at earliest 1991 and realistically more like 2002?

lemme pull some pics, the back door ID plates got a few oddities

[lucid tulip]

Yeah it looks like they used a lav25a1 or lav25a2 as base ( 3d scanning? ) and then just refitted all the vintage parts from a vintge lav25 based on a technical manual?

[timber edge]

pretty much, scanned a newer data plate and just changed dates and stuff. love the attention to detail though

[lucid tulip]

I mean there's no other way to do it if your utilizing 3d scanning for vehicles. There probabky aren't any remaining lav25,s in its original 1980s configuration if any.

[timber edge]

yeah, im satisfied with it and dont think it warrants a change, just interesting to notice

[lucid tulip]

The marine corps converted all thier lav,s to newer standards. Not sure if there are any museum piece in initial config, that can be used as most accurate reference.

I think the hand controller could be changed if they had time for it. Yeah not complaining about the actual detail of the interior tho.

[timber edge]

yeah, even the exterior, im loving looking at all the welds. sorry, its just so hard to not stare at

[lucid tulip]

I just hope eventually the commander station will be operational. From what I gather the commander doesn't have a periscope but a duplicate of the sights and hand control of the gunner. So if nessesary he takes control of turret and becomes a gunner himself

So figure this will be kind of how pilot/copilot pilot controls work atm for helis

[timber edge]

im also not too sure when the chicken plate/CVC vest was adopted. think itd be a good little idea?

[lucid tulip]

https://www.gear-illustration.com/2018/10/04/combat-vehicle-crews-cvc-body-armor-1987/

[timber edge]

yeah but common use doesnt seem to be till around 1991 I mean, even the picture of the prototype is from 1991

and they have an assigned date of 1981? idk its a bit too convoluted for me to draw an assumption

though shoulder holsters seem like a good idea

[lucid tulip]

I read intitil batch was produced between 1979 and 1981 , based on the contra t. for testing so 1987 seems about right for official larger scale adoption

[timber edge]

yeah. that makes sense, though right now im just bumbling around. I wonder if we'll get grease guns as a sort of PDW for non infantry stuff.

[lucid tulip]

At the end of the day ita just a flak vest. Apart from lacking a collar and shoulder pads I doubt it's more effective the the pasgt vest.

[timber edge]

yeah, its not worth it in the grand scheme of things, was just wondering

[lucid tulip]

A cool factor is the crewman shoulder holster

[verbal mesa]

@topaz whale I just experienced the same hosting issue as you in experimental. It appears it is just not working

[lucid tulip]

https://www.gear-illustration.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/DSC_8051-e1538535280282.jpg

[verbal mesa]

I'd love that shit

[timber edge]

yeah, gimme a little M7 shoulder holster, I think itd be perfect. since the crewmen dont run a rig anyway so it could go in the web set slot

though now im just asking and asking, im perfectly content with the way things are going with whats already here

[verbal mesa]

Pretty sure the asset already exists in dayz

[wary pewter]

I'm sure it has been asked but, if have a pc and xbox and i want to play on pc and my son play on xbox both under same email will that work or does xbox need a seperate email?

[lament vale]

For the PC folk.

Has anyone else since the update when tabbed out the game freezes and sometimes disconnects?

I know a couple others having this issue and it's just annoying when multiple monitors won't work as it stops the game.

[wary pewter]

I think a bunch of stuff is wigged out rite now, i host my own server and i cannot even get into it......i think BI is doing some patches and fixes........

[shut cosmos]

I'm using the launch option "-forceUpdate" within steam and it doesn't freeze anymore

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Startup_Parameters#forceUpdate

[tacit plover]

after the update alot of my mods got updated but rhs status quo just doesnt wanna update?!

[lament vale]

thanks, although i dont know ho wto do any of that so ill look into it ahah but appreciate it

[dim quiver]

hey so can someone tell me why the gane master tab in the main menu was removed to make the scenarios tab bigger?

and why was the settings tab removed as well

[topaz whale]

Well at least it's broken for all of us (maybe)

[shut cosmos]

right click Arma Reforger, go to properties place said launch option in the box

[lament vale]

Thank you 👊

[desert pike]

Anyone know what mod added the MI-8 Flyovers and QRF spawns?

[eternal heart]

Greetings (sorry if it's against the rules to tag you) but I have a question regarding the new update

Prior to 1.2 update, console players were able to switch between UGL and ballistic without having to drop out of ADS. Is it intentional for this change or is it a bug? Current update only PC maintains prior functions

[half locust]

ask the question....

[eternal heart]

^

[eternal heart]

If you could enlighten me, I'd be grateful as well

[half locust]

neither myself or goat are on xbox, so no idea

i would assume it is still possible, not sure about your button binds / controller profile used

[slow pagoda]

yeh we dont know

you can make a feedback ticket about it though

[eternal heart]

Controller profile is legacy. Looked over the new keybinds to check if there are any inconsistencies, but turned up nothing. LT + A used to be the bind to switch. Thank you for your quick responses. I'll make a feedback ticket.

Is it better to make the ticket though the game itself or on web browser?

[half locust]

it's the same, so pick your option

[eternal heart]

Cool thanks 👍🏾

[sand verge]

Anyone know why since the update I can't look around inside the helicopter as a pilot? Its just stuck on 1 position

Not even 3rd person will work anymore..

I wonder if all the controls have changed

[half locust]

you have 2 profiles in settings

[sand verge]

Thanks

[kindred basalt]

what is the name of this map with the trenches please ?
https://youtu.be/qnlV1rJdSsE?si=ZwdwFXynFBvFATJj&t=554

[arctic rune]

I think that is the map "Zimnitrita"

[digital crane]

zarichnie or something like that

[kindred basalt]

thanks

[gloomy lodge]

Are ballistic penetration like Arma 3 going to be added to reforger? currently it's kinda wonky, shooting at a house with a NSV and an M2 only the NSV penetrates through the building, the M2 doesn't even hit anyone inside, glass hit-points also feel weird, you shoot a 7.62 at a UH pilot head and it only breaks the glass, it doesn't damage the pilot at all

[craggy seal]

I believe that first one is Arland now. But i'd like to host full everon conflict for vanilla. Anyone know the updated Mission ID?

[kindred basalt]

no i don't think so, still the same

[craggy seal]

Ok, I think my server might just be goofin around or something

I'm retrying. I'd love to be able to host a full scale Everon conflict for all 3 platforms

Yeah theres was something weird happening between me and my server.. its up now

[kindred basalt]

are u using mods ?

[craggy seal]

Nope, its up now

[kindred basalt]

enjoy

[fathom osprey]

Ballistic speak of real life means zero to whatever may be going on in the game. I'm curious of difference between "mushrooming" and "tumbling". As far as terminal ballistics of real life, both mushrooming and tumbling are effectively simply an increase in the frontal surface area of the projectile relative to direction of travel, so it seems both effects could be handled by the same mechanic 🤔

[tacit plover]

the flyovers are by rhs if im pretty sure but the qrf im unsure

[half locust]

we only have planes, no choppers

[tardy veldt]

I have a Question: Does anyone know how to Host a Scenario for Playstation 5? Or is it not enabled yet.

I know how to do it on PC & XBOX I was going to host a Scenario so my Buddies on PS5 can join a Combat Ops but I'm not able to.

It just allows me to play it I cannot change the name nor edit any settings.

[brisk summit]

Anybody find a way to run mods on thier server after the update that added ps5 to crossplay?

[tardy veldt]

Are you asking: You want a PS5 Player to connect to a Modded Server?

[brisk summit]

No my server was on a restart loop cause it was modded before the update and have crossplay on and no matter what I try i can't get it to run with mods and keep ps5 out of server

Currently stuck with a vanilla server atm

[grizzled kettle]

Can anyone recommend some servers that a ps5 player could join and it’ll be noob friendly but still organize and not just a shit show
Really been liking the 3 servers I’ve played on so far but I can definitely tell that having too many brand new players is detracting from it a bit for me

[tepid torrent]

yeah it is very unorganized for the start, try private communities, and if there arent any then make one yourself and be one of the first play station player hosted groups

[elfin dagger]

are BI planning to add ghillie suits?

[tepid torrent]

no mention of them, but if they considered it then here would be some must haves to go along

• simple cloth sim for dangling scrim and flappy pieces of clothing
• bolt action rifle for americans (m24) the soviets only really had the mosin as far as i know and i doubt it was widely used over the SVD
• handheld use for knife
• tripwire for charges

[elfin dagger]

dang, so I would assume nothing until at least the release of 1.3 or even kolguev

[tepid torrent]

ghillies on kolgujev would be crazy

[elfin dagger]

ghillies in AR in general would be insane, you already can do some crazy stuff with hiding in bushes or grass and I am loving it

[tardy veldt]

Can someone kindly answer this question?

[gleaming holly]

You cannot host on console

[tardy veldt]

I was certain you could on XBox?

[gleaming holly]

No you can only host on PC. In order to have friends join you youll need to rent a server or use a public server

#reforger_ps5 message

[tardy veldt]

I see... so in Scenarios when they show it has this many players that can fit into it?

Is just to show what's capable? 🤔

[gleaming holly]

I believe thats the max player count available on Official servers. If you rent your own you can have up to 128 players on in any scenario. Combat Ops says 6 but you could do 128 if you really wanted for example

[lean sierra]

is there a way to change it so the game dosent pause when i tab out

[half locust]

use -forceUpdate startup parameter

[lean sierra]

where do i find that

@half locust

[languid lodge]

Enfusion channels see channel/roles to activate them

[tepid torrent]

VIP only 😎

[bleak crow]

so I got the role for engusion I think, which channel is it?

[languid lodge]

If you still can not see my links in that previous reply: you need to unhide Enfusion

[fierce anchor]

Hi all.

Is there any way that me and my friends can spawn with a loadout in Combat Ops?

We mostly played Conflict till now but as we found the PvE mode us better for us we changed to it and we all find it a bit underwhelming to always search for weapons first and then do the missions.

On YT I can only find videos where people are at an Arsenal depot? Where can we find these on the map?

[neon meteor]

@sleek wharf I was wondering if you guys ever considered adding suppression to Reforger? Even if it's something super basic like a screen effect.

[sleek wharf]

My personal opinion is: we should not need it because players should feel suppressed through standard game features.
Currently there are no plans to add it, though many people are advocating for it.

Also, don't ping devs 😉

[sand verge]

Servers still down?

[neon meteor]

Sorry boss 🙏

It's just hard to make players fear for life when they can just respawn after ~ 60 seconds.

What I am saying is there is no real risk for not trying to immediately face the enemy and shot.

With that being said and excluding suppression mechanics, I do have some suggestions to try and achieve this:

Punishing a player upon death -> maybe big XP loss or longer death timer but definitely something that makes one care about death.

Limiting player movement -> specifically ability to turn around, rn there is no limit at all if your have high enough sensitivity you can spin 15 times in a second, which is also a bit immersion breaking but that is another topic.

Some solution to grass not being rendered at longer distances -> everyone who plays on low knows how easy it is to spot anyone outside of grass render distance, which makes anyone trying to suppress from longer distances easy shot.

Maybe the solution would require multiple changes from different aspects to achieve such an effect but then again simple screen effect might be easier and have better results.

[terse cloak]

In 1.3 you cant spawn at the base if its under attack anymore so ppl now gotta drive to the point.

[neon meteor]

Definitely a positive change.

[magic pebble]

Please don't listen to the rabble. they simply want to be rewarded even when they miss their shots.

[bleak crow]

huh my server must have edited that rule or something cause only 1/20 people will actually drive somewhere

[neon meteor]

but we are talking about supression not killing

killing works fine

[bleak crow]

I would prefer at least some minor suppression effect. Doesn't have to be huge, just more than 0.

[neon meteor]

I just want players to care about not dying that is it

[bleak crow]

I play on the vietnam server and players don't give af. They'll take off in hueys from bases that are surrounded and get dropped 10x in one game.

[neon meteor]

the wcs somewhat fixed this by making helis have long cooldowns

[bleak crow]

our server removed heli spawns at MOB entirely cause US team wouldn't do anything or go anywhere without a heli. Now they have to capture and hold bases with heli pads in order to spam hueys.

they've won about 4 games in the past 2 months

[terse cloak]

1.3, its the update on exp

[bleak crow]

are bases under attack cut off from supplies?

[loud bluff]

Could someone please answer my question of does the mods have to be the lastest game version to work?

[bleak crow]

if you're playing on that version of the game, I would assume so

[loud bluff]

Because I’ve tried the conflictpveremixedvanilla2.0 scenario mod and it doesn’t work yet I’ve seen other servers using it just fine @bleak crow

[bleak crow]

are the servers that are using it just fine including PS5 players?

[foggy ridge]

there can be reasons it isnt working that arent related to the mod working per se, like corrupted files

[bleak crow]

I'm having too many convos in too many chanels and idk what i'm talking about rn

[sand verge]

is there any reason why we haven't been able to invite our friends to our private lobbies

[foggy ridge]

well for one the game does not use any lobby system, and I think invites on Steam worked for me some time ago, not sure about console

[sand verge]

not at all

[high token]

Why is the giveaway saying I have to many entries when I have 0 emtries?

[woeful junco]

on steamos invites work

[elfin leaf]

is there crossplay with pc and ps5 ?

Yes

Yes

[elfin leaf]

wow amaze thank you

[terse cloak]

xbox too

[sage pebble]

How do i play my own gamemaster on Xbox now?

[magic pebble]

scenarıos then scroll down

[sage pebble]

It doesnt let me with mods

[vast violet]

hey, is there mod management and everything in-game? will it run okay on a hdd system?

[verbal mesa]

Not really you really should have a solid state for reforger

[vast violet]

sucks

i keep getting a really high ping for the servcies for some reason, im from argentina

[verbal mesa]

Mod management is done in-game though

Probably because youre from Argentina

[vast violet]

.....

Where are the servers? i get 160ms to us east and 250 to eastern europe servers generally

[west jacinth]

US East and West Coast and Europe.

I saw some Mexican and Brazillian servers. They had 220-260 ms for me, so it meant they were located in Mexico and Brasil.

[vast violet]

talking about this not game multiplayer servers

[west jacinth]

Don't mind it. It's a know, long lasting issue. It shows bullshit all the time.

[ashen stag]

thank you, and please never add this nonsense to the game lol. firefights should be as organic as possible

[sage pebble]

^^ any way to play gm with mods?

[gleaming holly]

This, the point of actual, properly applied, suppression is not to make the enemy scared because its loud. Suppression is supposed to pin the enemy behind cover or kill them outright, going cyclic with a single M249 is not suppressive fire

If your suppressive fire isnt keeping the enemy down and in place you aren't suppressing them, youre wasting ammunition in their direction

[heavy oyster]

Can PS5 play custom.made scenarios if they don't have mods?

[tepid mauve]

Is there a way to wear U.S. military equipment and RHS USAF equipment at the same time and make a loadout save?

[verbal mesa]

So much fucking better man.

[barren solstice]

Are the severs fixed now because I still can't play

[gleaming holly]

No, in order to do so youd still have to download that scenario (i.e a mod)

Or do you mean player made Game Master scenarios

[heavy oyster]

Player made game master scenarios. Like if I make a scenario and upload it to my server will PS5 players still be able to play if i don't add mods

[steady tide]

Why does my character sometimes holster his weapon on his back and sometimes on the front? Is there a way to choose where he's going to place it? Playing on PS5; so unfortunately no mods

[timid rain]

are we gonna have the ability to shoot out of cars and whatnot

sorry if overasked question just been looking thru the channels and havent seen a whole lot on it

ik theres mods for it but theyre hardly functional

[chrome sphinx]

According to an RFI it’s not going to happen but the same was said about backblast which we do have now in experimental. So it could happen but don’t expect it to happen

[celest granite]

How to put up recruitment on communitys

[minor acorn]

Also my personal opinion: While suppression already exists in Reforger a proper suppression mechanic is needed. The inherent lack of value in the life of your character makes "realistic" suppression (or lack there of) useless. Suppressive fire is core strategy on modern warfare. Lack of it will lead to an inherently less authentic portrayal of warfare.

Suppression in Reforger currently is binary. Either you are dead or you are alive. Realistically it should be more of a curve. A single bullet hitting near you won't do much, periodic bursts of rifle fire might make you reconsider peaking that window but a heavy machine gun laying down suppressive fire will make you stay in cover. A suppression mechanic just makes sure that everyone understands that or pays for misunderstanding dearly.

The ultimate form of suppression is still killing the enemy, but providing options to make your enemy less combat effective by suppressing them is IMO needed for a game that tries to portray authentic combat.

Also: Suppressive fire isn't only about machine guns. In modern squads every role can dish out suppression, some are just more suited for it than others. In most squads these would usually be the automatic riflemen, machine gunners and marksmen. Their role is mainly to suppress the enemy. Be it through the volume of fire or through accurate fire.

[magic pebble]

If you guys ever decide to add suppression effect, check the game insurgency sandstorm for inspiration. Please don't go the vignette route.

[sand verge]

It would become like the movie Mad Max: Fury Road if we were allowed to shoot from vehicles. We’d be chasing each other around shooting rockets, and machine guns, chucking grenades out of cars and jeeps and transport vehicles 😆 It would be a riot but would hurt the gameplay I think.

[magic pebble]

shooting a rocket and killing everyone with the back blast will be something to witness

[neon meteor]

How does it work in that game

[magic pebble]

audio, particle effects and a minimum amount of blur on the edges of the screen.

[neon meteor]

Yes very organic rushing everything like an NPC.

[celest granite]

Hell let loose has a great representation of suppression
But maybe allow for an organic zues option to adjust levels of suppression per character somethink like

• conscript/fresh/civilian = maximum level
• Veteran = reduced
• psychopath = non

[neon meteor]

I think everyone agrees here that if they add any kind of suppression mechanic, server owners should be able to enable/disable it via server .conf same as 3P.

And in regards to suppression being affected by the rank I think that could work as long as it's not a big difference or do you mean as per player?

[celest granite]

Not so much rank but more being able to tailor it to missions
Example- spec ops vs rear line troops

In a pvp environment it should be equally for "balancing"

[neon meteor]

ah ok sure why not I think the more customisation you can do in GM the better

[neon meteor]

yeah but maybe there could be minimal improvement something you would notice between renegade and major, just as an extra incentive to do logistics and play objectives

[magic pebble]

If they were to add this mechanic, it shouldn't be tied to rank, it should be tied to the already existing veteran status.

[tepid torrent]

If suppression is implemented, it should be discrete and not overdo it in terms of screen effects, simply a dark flick or flash when a round passes close by, additionally there should be effects for bullet fragmentation when they hit solid objects nearby, but on a final note suppression should more so affect the efficiency at which you can react, for instance a more shaky uncontrolled reload, just make animations a little more jumpy to ensure players know they are in a pickle, then blend these animations based upon the level of suppression experienced

[stray blade]

What if it literally made you jump :D?

[tepid torrent]

the amount of effect suppression should have should rely on a few factors, for one if you are unexpectedly walking through a forest and the other team fire first shot the affect should be quite strong and fast when compared to the suppression if you have been getting shot at for a while now and have adequate cover, it should all depend on whether bullet flies over or hits, the distance in which it occurs and finally the caliber and timing of the suppression

[pallid wigeon]

👏 Should be in the game, Insurgency does it well. It would make everything much more interesting... And for people who dont like it, make it so that they can disable it via server config.

[vivid mantle]

💯 agree with how important it is for any game trying to simulate authentic combat, but implementing it without making half of the playerbase hate it is quite difficult.
There is no perfect way to simulate suppression in a video game played on a 2d screen, but there are some decent ideas here.
But finding the right balance is difficult.

And can tell you from experience that in real life sometimes a single unexpected round that snaps right over your head can suppress you and your squad a whole lot more than sustained machine gun fire.
If a firefight has been going for long enough most people will start to react less and less to incoming rounds and some people might even be battle hardened enough that they don't really care about getting shot at in the first palce.
So suppression at least shouldn't be a simple float from 0.0 to 1.0 that increases slightly from every round that flies nearby, but instead should be much more situational and diverse.

Blurry screen isn't realistic but it's already used as a visual cue for loss of stamina so I guess it would be a good enough for suppression as well.
Tunnel vision happens to alot of people while heavily suppressed (or due to just combat stress) and many games have the vignette effect, but ideally the tunnel vision would be achieved psychologically so that the player is stressed enough not to pay attention to the edges of their screen.
So I would look into some kind of flinching animations, louder cracks or other creative ways to really achieve that.

[tepid torrent]

your point about getting used to suppression is spot on, a vignette would be nice but not a traditional one, more so a streaking pulse/flicker on your screen

[eager sandal]

I am on the no artificial system camp. Suppression should not just be about volume of fire, but accuracy as well. If the fire is not accurate, it's just a waste of ammo, and thus the suppression is ineffective.
Some vignette or screen shake may still be needed for a very near miss. Also, supersonic crack to go along with it (need to be scarier sounding).

[minor acorn]

Some vignette or screen shake may still be needed for a very near miss
So... suppression

[vivid mantle]

Or just remove respawns from the game. That should make people fear dying 😋

[neon meteor]

that is what I am saying its either fundamentaily changing how we repsawn or supression mechanic

[austere nimbus]

We currently use https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/613B4DD4A91CA144-LMSuppression for suppression effects.
Albeit a bit heavy to my taste, it does work great for players.

[neon meteor]

thats a good mod

[magic pebble]

is this the white vignette mod?

[austere nimbus]

And even though it's not "realistic", it does force people to react to suppression as in computer games you don't have this effect as IRL.

And no; it just adds blur when people shoot near you or when explosions are near you.

[magic pebble]

seems excessive. my biggest problem with how suppression in usually implemented is that it takes agency away from the players.

[thorn furnace]

I dislike supression. The reasoning behind it sounds like it makes sense, but in practice it's usually done really bad. Machine guns get an over powered SciFi magic powers.

[neon meteor]

yeah and what is important it doesnt affect your aim or stamina

[gritty crescent]

i think the best thing for suppression would just having rounds that go past you be alot louder scarier in a way make people not want to peak

none of the screen effects bs

[minor acorn]

Ok, but what if:

https://tenor.com/view/turn-down-volume-mute-volume-gif-14268149

[austere nimbus]

But what if I turn off my monitor 😉

[minor acorn]

Then it achieved it's purpose

[austere nimbus]

That said; I do think that LM Suppression is a bit too much, but it does affect players in a minimal way when they are getting supressed. You can still walk/run/shoot as normal, you just don't want to stand in the open since you won't be able to be effective in a firefight.

In Arma 3 we also use the Immersion mod to have a similar effect, and is a lot less aggressive; but this results in people basically ignoring the effects and just rambo anyway.

[heavy oyster]

If i make a player made scenario in the reforger tools without mods will PS5 players be able to play it

[brisk summit]

No way to fix i can find atm I've tried like 6 different ways

[brisk summit]

Yeah longs it's all vanilla

And make sure crossplay is on

[heavy oyster]

thank you, trying to learn reforger tools but it's very overwhelming

[slow pagoda]

there dont need to be effects but make respawn time longer if you poke head out into heavy suppressive fire storm

just tell the reason for the delay in the wait screen

"you poke your head out into the machine gun fire"

people will learn

[austere nimbus]

if respawn takes longer than quiting/rejoining the server, people will abuse that 😉
and it will still have people just ignore incoming fire, which is the whole point of supression effects

[slow pagoda]

cross server wait flag

[magic pebble]

instead of waiting a minute to respawn, they will quit and rejoin the 50 players queue and wait 20 minutes instead.

Also, people should have the choice to ignore incoming fire and risk it. I said it before, biggest problem with over-the-top suppression is it will take away players agency.

[austere nimbus]

And that's why mods exist 🙂
Although a (configurable?) "light" version might be a nice feature for vanilla as well.

[slow pagoda]

yeh exactly. just penalizing failing with that risk could lead to a second consideration before it

[vivid mantle]

Yeah this excactly, some kind of vanilla engine feature that is light and moddable. No more performance problems

[past kayak]

Why not tie the severity of the effect into the soldier rank/bars and combat experience. This would give people more incentive to stay alive (since Respawn kills that) and would make certain squads more combat effective. If a particularly hardened group of men dont suffer any or very little suppression effects -that ups their strategic value and rewards their team cohesion and survivability

[fair ether]

Modded servers have this sometimes. Super funny or annoying

[barren laurel]

This whole talk about suppression is confusing.
Are you talking about suppressing bots, or players?

If players - then i'd argue that is already in the game.
Be it if players are suppressing players, or bots suppressing players.
I have plenty experiences from playing Combat Ops on Everon, when i didn't dare to peek out of cover due to the enemy fire directed at my position, and more often than not i had to relocate or retreat.
And i cannot stress this enough:
No stupid vignette or blur effects are needed. But if you decide to add such nonsense, make sure it is optional, so ppl like us can switch it OFF.

If suppressing bots - i would also argue that this is already in game.
I think i have seen it countless times - bots running or relocating, or keeping in cover, while we were shooting at them.
That said, i could be wrong, maybe all those cases were just a coincidence, maybe when they run or relocate, it wasn't because of us firing at them, but because of something else (no idea what that would be though).

[fair ether]

Suppressing bots is in the game. Shooting at them will make them run to the nearest cover or lay down. Throwing a Grenade near them also makes them lay down and gives you about 5 ish seconds to spring to more cover

[vivid mantle]

yeah I think the question was about PvP suppression as that is mostly non existent in vanilla

[barren laurel]

But how can the PvP suppression be nonexistent?
We see enemy player covering behind something, we start suppressing him:

• if he peaks out and tries shooting back, he likely dies.
• if he stays in cover, he is suppressed.

[odd ridge]

are all official servers empty or down atm?

[barren laurel]

btw. do bots react to VON? (direct speech, not radio)
...as in:
if i talk close enough to some bot behind a wall, who can't see me, but realistically should hear my voice - will they react?

I did some test, and it seems like the bots do not react to player voices, but i still don't know if that is because something is broken, or because it really isn't in the game (i just expect that feature to exist by default in every game where players can talk - feel free to call me naive )

[vivid mantle]

I think its about designing the game mechanics so that real life tactics are more viable.
Yeah if the player you are shooting at does not react to the fire accordingly, he will likely die and you will win the engagement.
He might have not even realized that he is getting shot at or he just knows that he can respawn easily.

Your question could be applied to bots also. Why would they need to react to your shots by ducking or taking cover as you can just kill them if they just stand around and win?
I would like to see realistic reactions from both AI and humans. But as I said, there is no perfect solution.

[vivid mantle]

I don't think they react to VON but they can sometimes hear your footsteps really well, if for example in the same building.

[hollow moss]

Do we know when Elan will be available for playstation users I asked them they said its sonys problem I asked sony they said its not to do with them so im now here

[supple wigeon]

PlayStation doesn’t allow for mods yet so until they do it ain’t coming.

[hollow moss]

Thank you

[faint spoke]

Why doesn't the RPG's work on taking out hue's? I've shit them several times and nothing actual ever happens

[terse cloak]

it does, desync is the reason

[west jacinth]

Hit reg in the game is peculiar. Plus if the server is low on FPS and people in the heli have different pings, it results in not destroying it. The same thing happens with most of the vehicles.

[faint spoke]

Wow that's a trip for me than cuase i see impact but no damage but thank you

Lol it's almost a tease

[topaz whale]

What does this red X thing mean?

[edgy lynx]

Scratch that sorted

[latent shard]

You have an objective assigned

[west jacinth]

These are from older version of the game, but it's still the same.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ7Cr_8ipm4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujsrzd4rMlU

[sand verge]

Well this explains how i can dump an entire mag into someone sitting in a crashed jeep then they can jump out and one shot me.

[west jacinth]

The lower server FPS is, the bigger ping difference between you and enemy, the more prominent it is.
At some point you will start taking it into account and you'll be prepared for enemies exiting the car when they should have been torn to shreds.

[pastel agate]

hey guys serious question, ive downloaded few mods and im seeing my gear not lining up with my character/being static of the character model, how do i fix this?

[lusty idol]

What mod is it? The game recently updated changing the skeleton so all mods containing clothing have to update and this would happen if they haven't yet

[pastel agate]

its the night vision system related items, oh and thank you for replying back to me. i appreciate it!

also i use task force mattock uniform mod

[slow pagoda]

That is related to mod not being updated.

Some of them may end up never updating.

[foggy ridge]

the game should display a big fat warning that says that mods are not guaranteed to work ever

[pastel agate]

thank you goat, yeah i feel like some of them never get an update. ive deleted the ones that didnt work and reinstalled the game and now gear is working apart from night vision system helms. any nvg attachments mods i could use?

[eager sandal]

So about TrackIR, how much DOF Reforger support? you can look up/down, look left/right and lean left/right so 3DOF? Yaw, pitch and X-axis?

[austere nimbus]

According to the TrackIR website: Yaw, Pitch, Roll, X, Y, Z

But I expect it can simply do all head movements as you could with a mouse (up/down, left/right) and zoom in/out. Although I could be wrong

[stray blade]

Probs also tilt head

[eager sandal]

No, I meant in Reforger. How much it (reforger) support. Probably should made it clearer.

[austere nimbus]

1. go to https://www.trackir.com/games/
2. search for "Arma Reforger"
3. profit 😉

Although I have no idea if that is accurate

[eager sandal]

I see, thank you 👍 👌

[elfin spoke]

props ben asked a million times recently but when are devs thinking bout giving mods to PS?

[still peak]

Anyone know how to possibly use the hospital to full heal someone in conflict?

[terse cloak]

have a healing box for healing, so another person carries it and heals you

[still peak]

Gotta have both the box and be in the building? And can't do it solo?

[austere nimbus]

whenever Sony made the decision that it's allowed on their platform, but the word is somewhere in 2025

[terse cloak]

Nope not a solo thing, gotta be around it or a medic vehicle

[elfin spoke]

ty thanks

[tough iron]

Can anyone help, trying to use radio brings up red lock icon ?

[verbal mesa]

Using morphine in an ambulance or medical facility also heals you faster

[kindred basalt]

is there any mod that allows bacon to save any loadout even if it's not part of the US arsenal or RU ?

[west jacinth]

Sorry, but I have to:
Morphine in the game solves a lot of problems:
Loadout problem? Solved.
https://imgur.com/KbC7iEp

Supply problem? Solved: no supplies, no problem.
https://imgur.com/QkU3Z5u

[thorn furnace]

I don't like how you can only do one shot of morphine. Would be more fun if the more you took, the faster you heal, with a big risk of killing ureself from overdose.

[odd ridge]

any news on when or if the devs are working on dismantlable deployables(mortars and machine guns)?

[thorn furnace]

If, yes, when no.

[odd ridge]

damn

new question, anyone know if the devs are going to add in bolt action sniper rifles like the m700 for the US or a Russian bolt action(like a more long range designed SVD)?

[timid rain]

nah it was fine in arma 3

like obviously not being able to shoot rockets out of cars because it would kill everyone inside but just like the ability to shoot out of the windows

[slow pagoda]

unlikely

[odd ridge]

damn

[timid rain]

idk i just do think there is a middle ground where it can be a fun mechanic

just because youre such a sitting duck in cars

[odd ridge]

any Soviet low cost kit(less than 40 supply, ideally even lower) solutions where I can go around with a scope and silenced rifle OR a SVD?

[terse cloak]

No

[magic pebble]

A suppressed AK with 7 45-rounds mags will run you 22 supplies. The scope and the N version of the AK will cost more.

[odd ridge]

have you ever done long range shooting with a iron sighted ak, if so any tips?

[magic pebble]

ak and rifles in general are garbage behind 30 meters. I won't suggest you ever use them. Get your self an mg or a sniper rifle, don't care about the supplies cost, there are always chumps that keep supplies in bases.

for accurate fire in long range, going crouch or prone will completely negate recoil. you can also set your gun on fences or any object.

[near oak]

I hate you so much 🤣 from a chunp keeping supplies in bases

[magic pebble]

To be fair, my loadout might cost ~100 supplies, but last match I played, I died 6 times and killed 88 enemies.

[near oak]

Nah that's not bad. I usally run about that as well

[foggy ridge]

the standard rifleman loadout costs supplies also right? to spawn

[terse cloak]

20 supplies but if you save it its 50

[foggy ridge]

interesting, so technically it is not impossible for a band of dudes to respawn and sell to arsenal to generate infinite supply?

[neon meteor]

correct

[terse cloak]

Nope, as refunding your kit wont return back everything, only a fraction

[magic pebble]

also, there are easier ways of glitching thousand of supplies.

[foggy ridge]

okay so doable but extremely slow

[terse cloak]

No, i dont think you will get 20 supplies

[foggy ridge]

what about 5

[terse cloak]

It will take 20 from the base

[woeful junco]

I just get a gun muffler for what 20 point? and im good to go

[faint spoke]

Wow yeah those clips are crazy and probably would make me a little mad I'm sure that guy rage quit

[west jacinth]

No, I didn't rage quit...

[shy elk]

Can I use keyboard and mouse on Xbox too play Reforger

[faint spoke]

gg bro

[verbal mesa]

Soviet kits can become much cheaper by not bringing body armour. I run a GL with 8 GLs and the supply cost is somehow only 29

Pickup armour from FIA

[brisk summit]

Anybody find a fix for modded crossplay server yet?

[brisk summit]

Yes

[eager sandal]

I just fired up my trackIR, and in-game I can only do yaw, pitch and x-axis for infantry. In vehicles only pitch and yaw. Is that all, or more axis planned?

[woeful junco]

you can do lean i think

[eager sandal]

yes, thats x-axis. But not on vehicle I think

[still peak]

If the whole point of the game is to keep bases supplied so you can have respawns there, why are we punished for suiciding to respawn and defend somewhere?

[eager sandal]

Because that's so gamey and not fun for the other team

[still peak]

What's so gamey is that we supposedly only have 48 people involved in this conflict... If we had a reasonable number we could actually station people at bases, but as we don't, we put supplies there to represent people defending that base.

[eager sandal]

And the punisment for suicide to respawn on other place is what? a few extra seconds to respawn? Think of that as extra time to call in for reinforcement

[still peak]

That's already built in.

[celest granite]

40 second for the second suicide and onwards

[still peak]

5 sec to spawn at base
45 sec to spawn at base under attack
85 sec or more to spawn at base under attack with suicide

[eager sandal]

That's fair I would think. Compare to actually travel there by truck/walk/heli or something

[still peak]

It's not about travelling there... You are already there. That's what the supplies are.

The "reinforcements" were moved there when the supplies were.

[eager sandal]

Then, what this about suicide to respawn at other places thing?

[still peak]

Because the player has to control multiple soldiers on the battlefield, one at a time.

[eager sandal]

Refering to this original comment;

[celest granite]

40 seconds for your second suicides

[eager sandal]

Use it sparingly then? Travel while thinking enemy might counter-attack, so I might not want to attack other objective so that I over-extend myself? Ask for friendly helo to help transport you to the other base?

[still peak]

There are only 48 players in an official conflict server, and the map of Everon is large, so supplies are used to represent a lot of different things, including infantry... The supplies you are using to "spawn in" are already at the base, so the infantry they represent are already there. There are no reinforcements to call in, they just are waiting at the base to be controlled by a player. It takes an extra 40 seconds to transfer your control of your previous soldier to a soldier somewhere else if your first soldier isn't dead.

It doesn't make sense that you would be punished for changing your focus of the soldier you are controlling to one that's now more important, but that if you get an enemy soldier to kill you, you aren't punished.

[eager sandal]

You do know you can recruit AI infantry to defend bases right? Just not many, because once upon a time too many AI makes it even harder to cap points and it lags the server to much...

[still peak]

I'm not sure what your point is.

This isn't about how to work around the punishment timer.

[eager sandal]

It means adapt your way of thinking. Adjust. There use to be a time suicide respawn is frowned upon. Then penalty came in

[still peak]

This is about why that timer even exists. It doesn't make sense.

[still peak]

I have adapted. I'm not here complaining that the game is impossible due to it and I can't play. I spend a lot of my time in the respawn screen due to the extra penalty, while carrying a team on my back, being one of one a few defending the whole of our territory, and it's not very enjoyable, so I'm wondering why it even exists.

[eager sandal]

I already explained why it exist, but you insist it shouldn't exist. So I'll leave it at that. I'll just agree that we disagree

[still peak]

Why? I don't see your explanation.

You mentioned the reinforcement timer delay, which is a different timer delay, and not the one I'm referring to.

[eager sandal]

I actually said it's gamey. But you said you want to think that you are actually multiple different soldiers. Why its gamey, you dont teleport from one place to another. Why extra timer, think like travelling time. But you want to to think you are multiple different soldiers. So we disagree on things.

[still peak]

But my point isn't about the travel time. Why would travel time only exist if I choose to turn around? If I say "I'm gonna go to that base over there," why does it somehow take twice as long for me to get there than if someone shoots me?

Why is your sacred travel time twice as long for suicide over death?

[eager sandal]

You are going in circle. The extra time is punishment to dissuade people from using suicide respawn thing. But I just made up thing like travelling time because you want to imagine you are different people.

[still peak]

And your thing doesn't make sense for the reasons I listed.

You seem confused. I'm sure this won't go anywhere. Merry Christmas.

[eager sandal]

Fine then. We disagree on things. We should leave it at that.

[eager sandal]

Is there a way to activate my trackIR if I forgot to launch trackIR app before launching Reforger? In Arma 3 you can refresh the controller settings I think.

[odd ridge]

if I wanted maximum lethality against someone with body armor would I go with SB or AP sniper rounds for a m16

and if I wanted to shoot from a long range, which round would I still use?

[west jacinth]

You mean M21?
Sniper for long range, AP for penetration, tracers for setting vehicles on fire (shoot at the fuel tank or the engine compartment).

[odd ridge]

yep, and thank you

[west jacinth]

And usually you need 2 or 3 shots. 1st one renders the enemy unconscious, second one finishes him, but sometimes you need a third one, especially when server is low on FPS and the enemy has high ping.

[astral granite]

Is there a way to save what you have placed like a mod for that? Like say you have a operation set up and you can save it in case the server crashes to where it doesnt remove everything

[terse cloak]

Use the AP ammo. Flies much straaighter and further.

[west jacinth]

From what I've read, you may be right.
I wish there were some tables with in-game ammo characteristics.

[latent shard]

I was considering getting myself a little gift for Christmas, a TrackIR 5. Is it worth it for Reforger? Or are there equivalent, cheaper alternatives?

[eager sandal]

I like them, still using TIR 4. Is worth it? It is for me at least. Someone mention another cheaper alternative #offtopic_hardware message you might one to check that one out. Never use them though.

[faint spoke]

What's happening to the Servers? most of them are over 200 ping

[west jacinth]

Are you actually on the server ot just browsing server list?

If the latter - servers list sometimes does it, but after joining a server, ping is normal - as it should be for your region.

[bleak crow]

do traces actually start fires easier?

[terse cloak]

yes

[bleak crow]

never saw that mentioned anywhere before

[terse cloak]

its been a thing for awhile, around 1.0.

[west jacinth]

Yes, they do. You need 8-10 M118 sniper rounds to set Ural ablaze, while only 1 or 2 tracers are required. I like listening to ruskies radio when it "happens". Especially when they really need the supplies they've just brought on that Ural 🤌

[sand verge]

Is it possible to turn off individual channels on the radio?

[west jacinth]

No, you need to change the frequency.

[sand verge]

Damn. This should be a thing, as well as volume control.

[west jacinth]

Radios are very basic. I can understand that, because otherwise people would not use them at all. As long as it will be done with the use of radial menu, it would be hard to add some more functionalities. Traditional radio panel, as in many moddes servers, would be nice, but again console players using controllers could have problem using it.

[faint spoke]

Both I was in a server that was at 50 ping then it changed to 200 in a second at the end of the match then i left that server cause it was to high of a ping and the rest of the servers were like that and it was the same for my friends ive been playing with

[sand verge]

It would be as easy as turning off whichever channel was highlighted rather than the entire radio, it wouldn’t be a problem. Right now you have to highlight one of the channels to turn off the radio anyway 🤷‍♂️

[west jacinth]

I know, but I assume there is some reason for that. I would be happy if Bohemia would not break anything in comms. We had too many issues with this. I really appreciate that proxy chat is fixed in 1.3
On the other hand - there are some radio communication issues in 1.2.1.169. When you communicating on the same frequency with other people while driving a car there are very short yet noticeable audio quality drops. I need to test it more and report it.

[west jacinth]

You're sure it wasn't some connection issue on your side? Or some software/Windows started downloading an update?

[sand verge]

I have been dealing with broken comms lately. Sometimes neither proxy or comms work at all.

[west jacinth]

It's not like they're completely broken. Just some brief audio quality drops. As if it went from 32-bit 96000 Hz to 8-bit, 8000 Hz for 2 or 3 second and then returned to normal.

[sand verge]

Yes broken, a respawn is necessary. Its not a drop in quality, its stops working completely.

[west jacinth]

OK. So it's even worse. I never had it that bad.

[mellow cosmos]

There any plan to incorporate hand-signals in the game? Would be helpful for stealth to give a handsignal and have a notification pop-up for nearby friendlies for whatever signal is given.

[stray blade]

they are already in and can be used by squad leaders, with a vocally spoken command

[brave wraith]

Does anyone know how close we are to getting AI being able to fly and land helicopters?

[odd ridge]

for sniping in reforger, is it better to do midrange snipping with a 4x scope or long range sniping. I'm looking for what would be the most consistent in terms of hit reg

[woeful junco]

never is the expectation

[west jacinth]

You should avoid using "Reforger", "consistent" and "hit reg" in one sentence...

[foggy ridge]

hitreg is consistent if you hit your targets serverside

I play way better with 120 ping than 30 ping

[west jacinth]

Yes it is, but it completely doesn't make sense from players' perspective. Such things should be resolved within the game code. Why should I be some kind of "human synchroniser" and even care if my ping and server's ping difference have proper values?
I remember that in Unreal Tournament back in 1999 we used to be unhappy if our pings were higher that 15 ms. INB, it was completely different game with different pace and it send couple of orders of magnitude less data. Yes it was and yes it did. But back then we played with DSL connections that had unimaginable transfer of 1 Mb. And latency could not be lower that 11 ms.
So I'd expect form the game made by multi-million company to be a bit more compliant with modern Internet standards.
And this #reforger_questions message was irony.

[foggy ridge]

Oh I'm not disagreeing

[west jacinth]

Yet another annoying issue. You can hit and destroy stationary vehicles. You can hit and destroy vehicles moving parallelly to you. You can hit, but very rarely destroy vehicles moving perpendicularly to you. More or less I understand the reasons, but should I even think about it? To cross a bride, I don't have to know how a bridge is constructed, so why do I have to know how the game is?
As a side note - AIs will never RPG you in a vehicle if you're moving fast enough and don't drive parallelly to them.

[foggy ridge]

Well until they fix it I will just lead targets more than I would otherwise and still win

What choice is there?

[west jacinth]

Yes, that's what we do - finding by-passes all the time.

[magic pebble]

You can't.

[upbeat flax]

thank you for clearing that up

[burnt elbow]

Quick question, it might be stupid. Can you recruit AI team in conflict?

[terse cloak]

yes, but it can be buggy. its on the field manual, by the name commanding

[burnt elbow]

Thanks a lot. Getting back to the game after a loong time, and I actually noticed that in the field manual. That's why I'm asking.

[west jacinth]

Yes, need to be Sergeant to spawn AIs, but you can recruit them even if you're Private, you just need to be a team leader.
Even thouht there are some issues with commanding AIs, it's definitely worth recruiting them. And taking them for "visits" in enemy bases.

[kindred basalt]

use this mod
i don't think you can assign them as an admin but they can change on their own.

If you could see a video on Reforger, what would you want to see specifically?

[magic pebble]

[near oak]

I think it's just know that on 64 player servers we struggle with prefromance so upping the player count won't help that

[faint spoke]

Do you ever plan on trying to bring them back up to 64 players at some point?

[amber fable]

Does ps5 controller on pc work as the ps5 controller on the PS5 Features ?

[near oak]

Are they not 64 players right now?

[faint spoke]

No they're 42

48*

[near oak]

Whaaaaa!? I did not know that. That's wild. They did not run that bad at 64

[faint spoke]

They had them at 64 like two years ago and the servers actually couldnt finish a game they'd crash then they droped the player count and it started working again

[near oak]

Ya I remember that. It was rough. Never thought they would lower it from. 64 tho.

[terse cloak]

64,32,48

[near oak]

Lame

[terse cloak]

Well needed to happen, official has been running now well on 48 but before it didnt

[near oak]

It was OK at 64. Thought the would have stayed there and figured out how to make it better.

Without lowering

[verbal mesa]

My favourite Arma films are the ones that tell a story

[terse cloak]

It wasnt, 32 wasnt great at start and neither was 48. 1.0 and then the .1 and .2 made the servers run bad. I remember the playtests on 1.0 when for 15min it went well and then it went to like 3 server fps

[verbal mesa]

Montages are not interesting

[verbal mesa]

Yea that was crazy. With .3 changes it might not be time for 64 but as stable is currently I think 64 is fine

[magic pebble]

the exd servers run 110 players and the fps rarely drop below 25fps.

[terse cloak]

Im on about official

[magic pebble]

maybe they case use the same provider as exd for the official to provide better experience with higher player count.

[verbal mesa]

There's more about it than that

And they have signed deals with providers

[magic pebble]

bad providers. their bad deal doesn't mean much to us consumers. a better experience with higher player count is possible.

[half locust]

as in?

[odd ridge]

for the m21 scope, any tips for leading shots?

[amber fable]

yes

[west jacinth]

Aim, zero, fire. Bind your zeroing and zoom to some convenient keys. I have zoom on two pointing-finger mouse buttons and zeroing is LCTRL+scroll.

[atomic slate]

How so? What story you want focused on and if so have you any examples of content?

[verbal mesa]

Lots of examples in arma 3

[atomic slate]

That'll do bruddah. Would love to do some more videos but after the first one idk where to go. The first one kinda was a story but idk if I want to do proper in depth videos, guides or trolling moments

[timber edge]

do yall think that an HBAR M16 sort of thing would fit, at least like a heavy barrel modification for an M16 and a bipod? or is that practically worthless compared to the M249 being in-game already? also would likely require an M16A3 which is just a full auto A2?

heavy barrel would also functionally mitigate recoil and help with precision shooting? its also likely to be in the muzzle spot so you cant run a suppressor with it?

[lucid tulip]

There is such a thing as a colt model 701. Fully auto variant of m16a2 that's not m16a3. Never officially adopted though but something that was available on the market

The bipod as an accessory would be cool especially for those who use m16a2 as a pseudo marksman weapon with x4 scope

[timber edge]

yeah. the HBAR wasnt really too common either, especially this much later. though it was 'in use' by the military

[timber edge]

even the heavy barrel would help for a marksman weapon too. heavy barrel=recoil mitigation

[lucid tulip]

https://thecoltar15resource.com/colt-1987-product-trifold/

[timber edge]

oh the clip on bipod, theyre kinda meh in reality. but still might be an interesting thing

personally I was thinking this sorta bipod

M16A1 HBAR pictured I believe

[lucid tulip]

Just looking at stuff that is officially advertised and time period accurate.

[timber edge]

yeah this was a bit too early, and military contract. but still interesting

[lucid tulip]

Tbh it's nice we even got 4x20 colt sporter scope since that was never officially adopted. Just something you could buy as an accessory that was advertised by colt.

[timber edge]

model 741 on the site/brochure you linked

HBAR A2

[lucid tulip]

Yeah not regular a2 though. Not sure if hbar was ever adopted

The a2 is already supposed to have a heavy barell relative to the m16a1 though

[timber edge]

doubt it, we didnt see a need for it especially with the 249 coming so soon

though from what I recall you can run that M60 Bipod on an M16 with some light modifications, believe you just need a sleeve that goes on the threads and is sandwiched on by the flash hider. something you could get Seabees to make. and the method they used for those HBAR rifles too

[timber edge]

yeah but a heavier barrel would still help, at least with everything but weight

not that it'd be accurate to the era though

[timber edge]

it was very minimally for the A1 apparently. like very minimally

[lucid tulip]

Supressor reduces recoil in game. M16a2 is very mild recoil shooter with it attached.

[timber edge]

It is pretty mild, I'm more advocating/asking for an auto A2/A3 and a bipod. The heavy barrel was more just to swing in the full HBAR for an example

But at this point the M249 would negate most of the need for the bipod and an auto m16

[pliant ginkgo]

why has the sale gone from 40% off a few days ago to now 32% off?

Ear plugs?

[timber edge]

Yeah, it's the ear plug case

For all yall just looking

[elder ore]

Guys I have a dilemma. I don't like to finish them off, but sometimes its my only option. If they only have one weapon I sometimes take it and treat them.

[magic pebble]

don't shoot them. Find a bayonet then stab them. No need to waste bullets.

[elder ore]

You are a violent person who doesn't respect the rules of engagement and the Geneva convention. Also its more fun to spare and treat them.

Also please vote.

[magic pebble]

I'm a merciful angel delivering these poor souls from their misery. True violence is that inherit in the capitalist system which they will have to exist and participate in if you kept them alive, so from where I'm standing, you are the violent one.

[elder ore]

I think that when a player thinks he's done for, but out of nowhere the enemy shows mercy and treats them it creates an interesting situation. I don't play to win most of the time.

[eager sandal]

I just finish them off. No incentive ingame to take them prisoner or what have you. Maybe if they make a system where you treat them, then click option "Take Prisoner" and the enemy player despawn and have to respawn with double supply cost

[magic pebble]

also, they can get up on their own, and if the fight is still on and there are enemies nearby, they are danger.

[elder ore]

Incentive? I mean its fun to do it. Also there are no incentives to do many of the things you can in the game, but it really adds to the whole experience.

[eager sandal]

Yeah, I can understand why some do it. But I don't. I don't know how to play pretend like some people do. I just play game

I have been taken prisoner, then they sent me on my way without weapons. It's cool experience, but I don't do it.

[elder ore]

I dont play pretend. If I incapacitate the enemy, and there is no one around I take their rifle, radio and their boots, treat them and leave. Its fun.

[eager sandal]

Yeah, you do you. I do mine.

[tardy rune]

strip them naked, give medical aid, kidnap them and drag them to the isle d'argent, bring them down into the caves and never let them leave...

[near oak]

My man has a plan🤣

[west jacinth]

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!?

[timber edge]

I leave em if I can help it, take the guns, give em a chance to run back and get patched up. I carry very limited medical so I don't afford to use it. And the longer they're incapacitated the longer till they usually get to me, because most people don't force respawn like that

Unless it's heavy bleeding i let them sit it out, i only really waste tourniquets on them and that's if need be

[grim iris]

Any recommendations on what faction mod would be the closest to represent Chernarussian Movement of the Red Star (ChDKZ)?

[subtle sapphire]

So when I was in the army we were given hearing protection or ear plugs that came in a case and I always threw them in the top of wall locker because I had peltors I used

[west jacinth]

I use those kind of ear-plugs in my line of work because they're extremely comfortable. The only downside is that people don't see them. So I can understanf using big Peltors. Guy telling you to move out can see that you may not hear him, so he won't drive you over with his howitzer or whatever you are being driven over there with. While with ear-plugs it's more probable.
And I should have made this joke a bit more clear "What are you saying? I can't hear you..."

[still peak]

Thanks but I meant in-game sound data. Trying to figure out if there's a benefit to stealing a heli from the other team for "stealthier" operations that still need a heli insertion.

Just thought I'd ask before trying to test it myself to save some time.

[west jacinth]

BTW, the latter is written by 2 ruskies, so the nose level values my be under-reported, so Mi8 would get its European certifications.
Maybe @foggy ridge will know anything.

[foggy ridge]

they may have different pitch but should be similar

[woeful junco]

Uh-1 should be louder tbh

thicker cord and non prime number of blades and squared off wing tips do not help

[west jacinth]

I've never heard Bell UH-1 in person, but Mi8s are loud AF.

[woeful junco]

mi 24 and mi 8 are very quiet compared to western helicopters. maybe the uh 60, md500 and I know for a fact jet rangers are quieter

[west jacinth]

As I said I never heard any NATO heli at the same distance as I heard military Mi8s. They were loud AF. In the late 90s for 12 months I was an air force radio operator. In the army that was formally NATO, but we were still Warsaw Pact fossil in many fields.

[woeful junco]

from loudest to quietest I would say
v-22, CH-53, AH-1z / Uh-1Z, ah-64, Bell 212, Mi-8, Mi -24, uh-60, MD500, jetranger, r 22.

[foggy ridge]

But you cant hear them outside streaming range anyway which is like 1500m default and like 600 or whatever on nitrado

[woeful junco]

I think you can't really hear them past 2km irl maybe under ideal conditions

[west jacinth]

I don't remember that. Fortunately I had never have to hide from helis nor fight them IRL.

[still peak]

Don't have time for anything better atm but after a quick and dirty test of turning one on and flying away in Game Master, it seems the Mi-8 is quieter. No numbers though. Just threw one down at the end of the runway on Arland, turned it on, and flew out to ocean to the invis wall (placed an object to fly to the same place the second time). Could still hear the Huey out there (just a little) but the Mi-8 was almost nothing if not completely silent at that distance. Not sure if game master has any special audio processing though.

[west jacinth]

Maybe because I play only on US side, I'm more sensitive to Mi8 sound, so I can detect and shot them down faster? Even though US can fly them and ruskies can fly Hueys.

[halcyon wigeon]

I've got a reforger related question

does anyone know the song playing in this clip?

[stray blade]

ask @shut cosmos

[celest granite]

rules of the geneva only protect them if they surrender

[halcyon wigeon]

@shut cosmos please brother I must know the song name also I apologize for gunning you down like a dog in the street, I would've entertained the melee duel if I knew how to at the time

[lucid tulip]

i thought it was darude sandstorm.

[eager sandal]

Is there a way to activate trackIR ingame if we forgot to launch trackIR first before launching Reforger?

[finite turret]

Don't think so.

[neon meteor]

nah bro I want my ears to stay intact

[real jolt]

Hey, I have all the time no matter on which server I go this error code: Kick cause code: group=3 BATTLEEYE,reason=1 CLIENT NOT RESPONDING I've tried everything but I can't get it resolved....

[broken pecan]

all my service states are red, how do i fix this?

[timber edge]

so whats the current canon/lore if there is some for the current conflicts on Arland/Everon/Soon-Kolgujev

[stable topaz]

Besides the events of OFP and the expansions?

[timber edge]

I mean post OFP. thats sorta all I remember

or actually post cold war crisis I mean, ive been replaying it lately trying to remember the happenings

[stable topaz]

Not much to offer yet tbh. They've kept things pretty vague so far, probably for gameplay reasons.

There are some hints in the new tutorial mode

[timber edge]

if we take the training scenario as canon its to be believed US troops have 'invaded' arland, no clue on everon. and are limited in terms of assets, waiting on intervention from the fleet and with a looming soviet presence. biding their time setting up defenses and training. soviets likely invade and gather a foothold before the fleet gets there?

im only saying invaded due to the sheer presence of recent soviet vehicles and supplies left behind

otherwise it feels like the US troops have been there a while and just now are hearing of an invasion effort by the soviets and calling aid

[eager sandal]

Don't thinkk too much about it... you bound to find gap/loop hole in the 'story' somewhere.

[timber edge]

I know, still id like to figure out the story at some point. I dont mind gaps or holes. arma 3 had a few but it was nice. id just like to know the story if they make one

[eager sandal]

Because the game is made Game first, story second. So you'll find like gaps everywhere

[timber edge]

yep. just like 3 was to an extent, some of the canon DLCs messed with the story a bit. and whatnot

[signal spruce]

I don't know about that with Arma 3. I know that a lot of time was dedicated to researching and evaluating the proper units and positioning of each, down to the exact number and position of troops in those units in any given moment during the campaign or "Armaverse" timeline. There have been a few errors over the years discovered, but a lot of focus was put on the story accuracy from our lore keepers as I call them. 😁

As for Arma Reforger, lore/story accuracy does play less of a role. While there were talks about keeping it narratively accurate, it was decided scenarios like Conflict are more sandbox game mode vs narrative-driven content.

For example, I talked about FIA's role last year: #reforger_questions message

[timber edge]

thanks. i just mean more along the lines of a narrative. it doesnt matter yet though

[fierce oar]

Can anyone explain the correct mod order?

Yesterday scenario reload menu got stick several times on arma logo

Admin Tools, Scenario Reload, Ace core, Ace mods, Scenario mod, in what order should i run them?

[foggy ridge]

it usually doesnt matter

[verbal mesa]

A lore video showing old everon and new would be really cool for Reforger

[signal spruce]

It’s been awhile, but we used to do side by side images of the old and new map of Everon on our socials.

[verbal mesa]

Yea, really cool but a lot of the new players don't understand the significance of things. The Arma lore is actually interesting and would give newcomers to the series a slice of the connection that the oldtimers get to Everon and the FIA

I remember someone getting angry seeing mortars destroying their beloved Everon

It is such a well made world

[elder ore]

Pinewood lake didn't exist and an important mission took place in that location.

[verbal mesa]

It's going to be awesome to see Kolguyev in Enfusion

[elder ore]

My only request is for them to take as long as necessary and deliver on the same quality as Everon.

[cerulean token]

Love the vibes the concept images have. That harbor island feel

[elder ore]

Malden would have been better though. It was everyone's first taste of RV and OFP with the Ambush mission demo.

Plus it was really really nice.

[stable topaz]

I'm guessing they wanted something to contrast with Everon and Arland, Malden would've been very similar.

[elder ore]

Perhaps. Will make an interesting contrast since Kolgujev was mostly burnt villages and military bases. But Malden had a very distinct feel to Everon imo.

[arctic rune]

going to look forward the most for Kolguyev's Abandoned aestheticc, seeing what buildings they will add, possibly hopefully some of the ones in the concept art like the apartment complex's and such

[elder ore]

Concept art doesn't always transfer to the final product so I would be carefull with expectations.

[magic pebble]

I just want it in hope we get more assets to use in my maps.

hopefully some more complex buildings.

[verbal mesa]

It will have a more Russian feel than Czech I would think

[stable topaz]

Yeah same! I'm actually just hoping for more houses.

[elder ore]

I think there's more to Russia than burnt buildings and military bases. There was a ruined church that looked really cool.

Its a military Island base for the most part

[stable topaz]

True. The other factor is probably just time and effort. Kolgujev is probably an easier task than Malden to recreate to Reforger standard.

[fierce oar]

Looks like it does. I changed mod order and a scenario reload bug is gone, at least for now

[foggy ridge]

I guess I need to get some more experience modding then

[fierce oar]

And that's not the first time when sorting mods helped to avoid seever crashes

Well haw can you explain that then? With order A server fails to start, with order B it starts smoothly

[foggy ridge]

hard to talk about it without seeing some kind of evidence, but generally load order only matters when multiple mods modify the same thing, as the one that loads last will usually be the most "active"

let's say you and I make a mod that changes the color of the vanilla BTR, the mod that loads last will be the color you see in game

sometimes multiple mods end up modifying the same thing even when it's not obvious though

or when someone does a funny and uses override instead of duplicate, so I'm not saying you're wrong

[verbal mesa]

Override instead of duplicate makes sense in a lot of cases, not that silly!

[signal spruce]

No spoilers, but you can expect new map assets.

[slow pagoda]

we will accept little spoilers too

just this once

[supple wigeon]

Here a little spoiler

[signal spruce]

Too much spoiler.

[supple wigeon]

Everyone knows now

[arctic rune]

glad to hear, the concept art was excellent work, and it gave S.T.A.L.K.E.R vibes too

[lucid tulip]

Here is a major spoiler

[timber edge]

And that 3 has Malden, so I'm guessing some people thought it'd be better to do another map first

[umbral flower]

Does anybody know how the hell to fix a backend initializing error can't find anything online and have done possibly everything I could think of to resolve it

[hollow monolith]

its a bohemia issue and they are on holiday

[fierce oar]

Yep, that's the case I guess

[ripe mist]

Why is the suppress fire command in-between get in and get out commands on the command wheel i feel like it should be right next the fire at wheel command.

[keen harness]

can anyone tell me what the hitboxes are like in this game or the ttk? is there different "areas" of damage? vital zones?

[verbal mesa]

Yes there are many hitzones

Damage to specific limbs has specific effects but currently there are only two negative effects

Being injured in the legs makes you slow down, take falls worse etc and arm injuries impair accuracy

[timber edge]

Honestly when it comes to this, ttk isn't reliable, it's a simulator in that regard. But yeah there are different spots you can hit with armor affecting their survivability

If you really wanna kill, get the dmrs and armor piercing ammo. Absolutely shreds

[full orchid]

Hi,
I want to host a server with vanilla CombatOps in it. but every time I play the mission the server crash after a couple of minutes. Where I need to go to get support?

[vestal eagle]

Is there a mod for WOTW like the tripods from 2005 if so that'd be sick.

[acoustic yoke]

So when you pick up an enemies radio 📻 and I ditch my radio I will hear there voice chatter with there signal in the area right? Also does the game have proxy chat with the opposing team?

[near oak]

yes if you pick up an enemy radio and drop yours all you will hear is their voice coms. you can even scroll through their frequencies and try to find enemy squad channels.

and yes when you talk in game everyone can here you if they are close enough. this also happens when your talking on your own radio. so if you talk on radio people near you will also hear you talk into that radio

[acoustic yoke]

Thank you I appreciate it I was gonna message you one more thing real fast

[near oak]

np

[verbal mesa]

You can also keep your own radio and just turn it off

[west jacinth]

You don't have to ditch your radio. If you have space you can use both, you will see 4 channels on your radio panel. Usually you cannot transmit on enemy radio, unless server allows it:
https://i.imgur.com/LxZvwcz.png
If you want to mute radio, you can ether turn it off or mute it by changing frequency to other channel. There is no "mute button" for radio.

[grizzled kettle]

Can anyone tell me what sniper ammo does over FMJ

[rustic surge]

In Vanilla reforger, is there a way to prevent someone stealing your vehicle in-between Logistics runs?

[rigid vessel]

Hey guys can someone help me for lauching arma reforger experimental version for testing destruction pls ?

[stray blade]

More accuracy

Not your standard off the belt bullet, but rather one with precise powder load and dimensions, for her pleasure (the rilfes, that is)

[crystal jackal]

will infantry mounted in the LAV-25 at the rear doors ever be able to turn out and shoot from the hatches in arma refrogger ya think?

[terse cloak]

No

[elder ore]

Yikes many violent players in Reforger.

[valid idol]

Is Mods and the Ability to Mod ever coming to Console Reforger?

[west jacinth]

POW-mechanics would solve the problem. For capturing and guarding POWs you'd get some exp. We could exchange them as well. Some simple, even symbolic detention system would do. Not graphic, so it won't change into Stanford experiment. Like there's a prison in the base, but captured players just go to lobby and wait for 5 minutes.

[terse cloak]

Mods are on xbox and i doubt the modding capability would be ever coming to console

[rigid vessel]

Can someone help me ?????

[west jacinth]

?

[rigid vessel]

How i play arma reforger experimental version i wanna test destruction

[sand verge]

[terse cloak]

Not tool, the normal version. arma reforger experiemental

[west jacinth]

Not Experimental Tool.

[rigid vessel]

[fierce oar]

How can I enable fog in game?

[west jacinth]

When you start it, make sure that "Crossplay" is on "Yes", otherwise you won't see Official servers:
https://i.imgur.com/NpiEtNd.png

[rigid vessel]

ok

[rigid vessel]

but i want to play game master

[west jacinth]

Make draw distance as low as possible, then it looks like a thick fog.

[west jacinth]

Ok. Just saying in case you wanted to go online.

[rigid vessel]

ok thanks but in the experimental arma reforger we can use mods ?

[terse cloak]

There isnt

[west jacinth]

Yes.

[short ore]

I thought they did it last year @terse cloak

[rigid vessel]

[terse cloak]

nothings been stated for this year.

[west jacinth]

There is one. Only for players with more than 10000 hours.

[terse cloak]

lol

[terse cloak]

´Look at a mirror, say when ps5 3 times and john arma will appear

[west jacinth]

Yep, you need to look in the mirrors in Reforger. They are available in new Premium subscription.

[hidden wedge]

hi
I need to know how to configure the automatic message in Admin Server Tools

[languid lodge]

@full orchid what needs moderation?

[full orchid]

Where I need to go with this problem? I dont know what the right place for this is.

[languid lodge]

This channel or #reforger_servers and wait for someone to answer.

[shut fiber]

How do you spawn helis? I am the correct rank and the supplies are there for the heli but it never let's me spawn it

[terse cloak]

[terse cloak]

Are you sure you are sgt

[shut fiber]

Yep I got 3 of the lines

[terse cloak]

[terse cloak]

Can you build helipad

[shut fiber]

There already is a helipad

[terse cloak]

just to make sure ur sgt

i if remmeber right those mean ur squad leader

[stray blade]

You most defo need wifi unless you have xbox connected by ethernet

[slow pagoda]

does xbox run on windows?

[buoyant furnace]

im on pc on ethernet

[stray blade]

Yeah true

[slow pagoda]

it does kinda look like something windows would ask

[buoyant furnace]

thats why im confused kinda

[shut fiber]

Says I am Sgt when I get points so idk anymore

[stray blade]

Then u need no such permissions

[slow pagoda]

and microsoft pushes all kind of crap like that into it constantly

[stray blade]

Tbf much like android. Apps request those

[slow pagoda]

but yes, if ethernet, then just hit no

[terse cloak]

then its a bug, make a feedback tracker ticket. There is a similar bug on the experiemental 1.3 build where you cant spawn a transport version of the buhanka even if ur cpl

[shut fiber]

Ah already thanks

[buoyant furnace]

word thanks yall

[meager barn]

Which reforger is best to play? Regular or the experimental? Thank you.

[magic pebble]

regular.

[terse cloak]

experiemental has much less people and has the buggier but newer version of reforger. at the moment experiemental has LAVs and brdm-2s

play stable

[meager barn]

Ok thank you

[rich estuary]

can anyone point me in the right direction for enabling 'Queuing' on a server? Or is it just supposed to allow ques?

[flint dragon]

Hello, after 1.2 the characters in my server have weird fuckedup like faces...I cannot share a screenshot in this channel sadly. I wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else and if there's a fix for it? Might me.some mods I'm using or is it the game itself??

[fair ether]

Mods on xbox showing theyre 0kbs, why?

[wet bramble]

Hello, is there some other Discord for Arma Reforgers modders where I could find some tutorials or ask something?

[slow pagoda]

We have bunch of modding related channels where you can ask stuff like that

They are under the enfusion modifications category

[sand verge]

Can you play Arma reforger on ps5 with mouse and keyboard

[sand bramble]

how do you use the feedback tracker to only search for things relating to reforger

when I open https://feedback.bistudio.com/tag/arma_reforger/ and type in the search bar it gives me results for every single project

I would've assumed searching in "Current Application" while on the reforger page would work but that only searches for project names (?)
