[plain nimbus]

Can someone tell me the path to saved Game Master files? Twice now I have created a GM scenario, saved it, came back to load it and nothing was showing. I am using Worthy Island and Bacon's GM FX. Last week I had no problems saving and loading into our server. I don't think I did anything different. I would just like to find the path to see if they are there. Frustrating spending time creating to have it disappear despite the notification that it was saved.

[verbal mesa]

The file is in the C://Users/YourUsername/documents/my games/armareforger/profile/.save I believe this is the correct path it could be different. I had this issue also though and had to host a dedicated server with the -loadSessionSave parameter

[plain nimbus]

Thanks. Oddly, I restarted our dedicated server with the mods, joined in, got GM rights and loaded up just fine. Not sure why it wasn't showing in single player. Appreciate the path location.

[verbal mesa]

Np you can use the -loadSessionSave line to automatically call the latest save or you can add the path in quotations immediately after to pick a specific save for future reference

[tough iron]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the red padlock symbol when trying to use radio chat ?

[verbal mesa]

You must be trying to talk on an enemy radio

[fierce oar]

Is there a mod to enable fog?

[foggy ridge]

Bacon Weather has a fog preset

[fierce oar]

Does it work with GM weather settings?

[foggy ridge]

Yup

[fierce oar]

God bless that guy Bacon

[swift mortar]

hi all i was wondering if anyone could help me please i am trying to join a server on arma reforged modded but when i click to join and let it download the mods it seams to not download them or says failed to download any idea why this could be?

[bleak crow]

how to switch ammo types in T72 or abrams? on pc

[kindred basalt]

get the name and try to download it from the workshop yourself instead from the server

[timber edge]

havent tried those mods but pressing V is the fire selector/ammo type switching button

[still peak]

Never play US but I've gotten in the habit of raiding their arsenals. What's the M16A2 do compared to the M16?

[terse cloak]

there is no m16

[still peak]

Alright... That was clearly too hard to understand what I meant. M16 Carbine vs M16A2. What are the stat differences? Carbine just lighter and less accurate (maybe worse bullet drop)?

[terse cloak]

full auto mode of m16a2 carbine and m16a2 has 3 round burst

and also lesss accurate and doesnt shoot as far as a m16a2 rifle

[still peak]

m16a2 carbine

For the record, the devs may be wrong, but it is labeled in-game "M16 Carbine" and "M16A2," so if you're gonna give me shit for calling the Carbine just an M16 you gotta write it correctly yourself.

[terse cloak]

it was m16a2 carbine on the roadmap, idk why they decided to name it m16 carbine

[tepid torrent]

At first when you said M16 I didn't know you were referring to the carbine, so I would say it was a reasonable misunderstanding

[still peak]

Eh I guess for people too used too the game it's whatever you call it in your head, but as someone who doesn't know guns well enough to know why the A2 is there, all I see is a gun called an M16 with Carbine as flavor text on it (as it's the only gun labeled M16), and a gun labeled M16A2.

Just like how I wouldn't say any more than "AK" in Counter Strike because there doesn't seem to be any ambiguity there, but I would specify between the M4A1-S and M4A4, however I'd only say M4A1 vs M4A4 because once I've said the "1" there's no more ambiguity.

[terse cloak]

then you would say carbine and not m16 since the m16 is just a older version of the m16a2. But i mean maybe a dev will say why its called that ingame

but who cares about what you call weapons.

[timber edge]

ambiguity

M16 carbines are very funky, often not sharing a true name with any others, so the generic term M16 would fit as long as you specify Carbine

[lucid tulip]

m16a2 carbine is already an ambigious term. since under that label you can cram in either Colt model 723 or Colt 727 , although the in game carbine model resembles the latter.

i think there was even a brief time where Colt themselves called super early M4 carbine production model with fixed carry handle ( RO777) a M16A2 Carbine

[eager sandal]

M17 when?

[timber edge]

M17 what

[eager sandal]

M17 rifle. M16 been around since vietnam

[timber edge]

the bushmaster M17?

[lucid tulip]

https://thecoltar15resource.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/2009le_price_list.jpg

at some point they call the 723 the colt M16A2 carbine with "field sight" to differentiate from later colt 727 which has the actual M16A2 sights

[tepid torrent]

M16A1 and AKM for reforger would be cool

[quaint copper]

M16A3

[lucid tulip]

having Colt 723 would be awesome for the historical accuracy since this is what Delta force , and some rangers and US army green berets actually had issued in 1989

[quaint copper]

The rarer Navy upgrade of the M16A2

[brisk summit]

I'm looking for a version of zombies conflict for dead everon that also let's both sides fight pvp as well anybody know of something or know how to make a scenario for that?

Plz dm me if anybody can help with this

[kindred basalt]

is there any Scoreboard mod ?

[brisk summit]

Yes there is just in workshop type in score

[ripe mist]

Is team balancing coming in the next update?

[terse cloak]

No

[kindred basalt]

i found 2 none of them work

[still peak]

Is there a team player cap limit? Seems they can be fairly unbalanced, and I've never been forced to pick US before.

[terse cloak]

no

[still peak]

So you could have 47 against 1 on an official server?

[terse cloak]

yes

[ashen stag]

Is there a plan to force grass quality on a certain setting

[vernal crater]

is anyone having an issue where when you alt+tab in the new update it freezes a lot?

[stable topaz]

Yup! Widely reported. There's a fix you can put in your launcher.

[vernal crater]

oh glad to hear im not the only one lol, could you point me towards the fix?

[stable topaz]

Yeah was just looking. Put -forceUpdate in your launch options box.

[vernal crater]

thank you very much!

[golden zephyr]

Idk if this is a server provider question or a Bohemia question. Is there/ will there be white listing capabilities?

[fading rivet]

The fact theres no shotguns in reforger is crazy. (Vanilla Reforger)

[tepid torrent]

shotguns arent utilized much in conventional warfare, yes there are occasions where spcialized troops have them for breaching operations, but in late cold war setting no

[foggy ridge]

I am a specialist in unconventional warfare

[opaque shuttle]

"Drop from quickslot" is not showing since the last update

checked in controls and there is no setting for this, anybody know something about this?

[foggy ridge]

the icon on it kinda shows like there is no keybind set

[fading rivet]

Door icon on barrel is funny

[opaque shuttle]

it was X by default before but has been removed

how can i reset it back again?

[eager sandal]

in control settings

[green pike]

This question must have been asked a thousand times, and I'm sorry for that, but are joystick and throttle supported in Reforger?
I own a T16000, and my TrackIR is working as intended.
Thanks

[terse cloak]

Nope

[green pike]

thx

[tepid mauve]

is there any way to respawn players to vehicle?

not conflict

[kindred basalt]

check ur dm

[opaque shuttle]

Where exactly, cuz it's only showing "Drop weapon" which is Tab+X

[green pike]

thx mate!

[still peak]

I feel lied to. I was told that tracer rounds would set vehicles on fire very easily, however I just dumped quite a few magazines of full tracer RPK into a sedan and absolutely nothing... Tried it with the vehicle on and off, in the front and back, and into the fuel tank. Has something changed, is or am I missing something?

I was also fairly close to the vehicle, within 5m, so I'm not sure if there's somehow a range part to it where the bullets aren't "hot" or "sparking" enough before they hit the target.

[terse cloak]

1.2.1 nerfed tracers and bullets

[still peak]

Ah ok

[sacred tulip]

Does anyone know how to get my mods to install in a custom directory? I'm on PC if ever

[austere nimbus]

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

[sacred tulip]

I tried but it didn't work

[austere nimbus]

Try adding double quotes "" around the path, since it contains spaces

[foggy ridge]

le baguette

[sacred tulip]

la* (because in French, baguette is feminine, it's a bit weird for Americans but that's how it is lol)

[foggy ridge]

oh thank you

[sacred tulip]

that works ! Thank you so much

[still peak]

Do you have to hit fuel tanks to set things on fire now? And does the vehicle being running or not matter? Also where is the actual tank on the M1025?

[terse cloak]

fuel tanks set vvehicles on fire yes, doesnt matter if its running. its on the rear right side

[still peak]

Ah only the right side... Was shooing the shit out of it everywhere but was only on the left so far cause that just happened to be where my testing emplacements were.

Is the SDV incendiary not strong enough to penetrate an M1025? Do you need the NSV or BTR?

[terse cloak]

last time checked even the m16 can pen it

have ai in car and try it, the glass is bulletproof

[still peak]

Oh nvm... Idk how but using only incendiary rounds I've managed to red damage the fuel tank on this one and drain out all the fuel but still not set it on fire...

Second time in a row...

[terse cloak]

thats where the humvee fuel tank is, in exp 1.2.1 7.62x54 api was broken at start and then they nerfed it and now im not sure if its meant to be like this

[magic pebble]

planting a c4 directly on the gas tank of the humvee and btr doesn't set them on fire which is sad

[terse cloak]

although a few rounds to the fuel tank for the american truck sets it on fire

[still peak]

I have just emptied 20 SDV mags point blank into the vehicle at every possible angle and location in the rear and into the fuel cap and I can't damage the vehicle at all now. I think it bugged out. That's enough testing for me.

[stray blade]

Its a diesel after all

[terse cloak]

so this is wierd, you can light up a fuel tank on the russian and american trucks but not on the humvee or uaz 469 with a few rounds

[terse cloak]

isnt the m923 also diesel

[still peak]

Went to town with the big gun on the BTR and this is the result. definitely somehow managed to make the fuel tank invulnerable on this one.

Whatever the case, I don't think I'll be running around with an SVD hoping to set people on fire, so that's unfotunate.

[terse cloak]

Ok this is wierd, in 1.3 exp (i assume nothing has changed between that and 1.2.1), every vehicle that isnt a lav or btr or brdm other than the humvee, buhanka, mutt jeep and uaz 469 get set on fire in like half a mag of svd api

[ebon pilot]

how do you get embed perms im trying to send my error message in troublehsooting but cant

[terse cloak]

! verify

Mutt jeep takes 30 rounds to be set on fire on the fuel tank

[stray blade]

Ye

[still peak]

Do you know if the M2, NSV, or the big BTR gun (can't think of the name atm) have different "ignition values/probabilities" than the SDV? Or if any incendiary round is the same as long as it hits the fuel tank?

[terse cloak]

for some reason jeep, humvee, uaz 469, buhanka dont get set on fire immediatly after a few round, even if dumping loads of rounds into it. But the m923, ural, sarka, sarka van get set on fire after a few rounds.

[terse cloak]

idk

i dont think so, cuz in experiemental 1.3 a mag of kpvt doesnt set the humvee on fire from the fuel tank

[magic pebble]

better it be this way than how it was before.

five tracers rounds to the engine used to set any vehicle on fire.

[signal spruce]

I replaced the fuel tanks with water.

But for real, if there is a FT ticket for it, I’ll pass it on (or will regardless just helps).

[terse cloak]

I dont think there is but ill make one later today if there isnt.

[terse cloak]

still the case for many vehicles, just not the buhanka, uaz 469, humvee or jeep. for the fuel tank

[lucid tulip]

Tracers really shouldn't be that effective in starting fuel tank fires anyways. They aren't actual incendiary rounds

[verbal mesa]

BTR is gas

[terse cloak]

i used API

[twilit mirage]

I'm trying to do this capture positions tutorial and I'm stuck on getting a radio. Tf does this man mean?

[terse cloak]

radio tower

[twilit mirage]

He has be pick up a radio then we're just standing here.

[terse cloak]

got hints?

[twilit mirage]

Nothing

[terse cloak]

no like hints enabled as a setting

[twilit mirage]

No

[terse cloak]

enable hints

[twilit mirage]

What does he want me to do

I try to press the objective and it restarts the course. Idk what the hell were supposed to do here lol.

[terse cloak]

shows this on the hints,

[twilit mirage]

They need to put adjusting the frequency in the tutorial itself not a hint. It's not a hint if required lol.

[viscid sierra]

anybody knows how to fix engine initialization error for pc

on arms reforger

[ebon pilot]

how do i open console

menu

[latent shard]

If you mean in-game Debug like in A3, there is none.

[timber edge]

are claymores planned for the antipersonnel mines roadmap point? even though theyre not really mines (doctrinally they are called mines but are very rarely/never triggered by their prey)

[near oak]

I don't think there has been any views on what anti personnel mines will be

[steel yew]

Man it’s been a long time since I’ve jumped back on my modded server. Does anyone know why some of the modded uniforms seem so offset on our characters? I have mattock uniforms installed

[tepid torrent]

latest update introduced new character rigs, modders need to redo weights otherwise they offset, some modders havent gotten round to it

modders had over a month to prepair for this hence why some work and others dont

[errant ice]

Is there any way to lock sight picture with track ir while aiming down the sights? Currently playing with track ir it is close to impossible since even 1 cm movement will misalign sights and half of the time you are trying to find the spot where you centered it.

[eager sandal]

bind mouse 2 to pause in your trackIR app. set it to trap, not toggle. So when you right click to ADS, hold right click to focus, your trackIR should pause until you release it. Then you can use trackIR as normal. It has it downsides...

[errant ice]

I really like lean function with track ir but yeah, it seems that pausing it while aiming is only way with current implementation. It works great with vehicles or just running around but aiming down the sights is completely messed up.

It could be fixed by removing look around function while aiming down the sights and keeping lean function so you can properly aim and don't have to carefully watch your posture when trying to lean.

[eager sandal]

you could also increase the deadzone more.

[errant ice]

Ty, it partially fixed my problem, now I have to find right balance between sticky picture and motion movement

[kindred basalt]

@foggy ridge is ther anyway to rename the loadouts ?

[foggy ridge]

they dont have names so not really no

[steel yew]

Another question being out of country for the last 3 months and getting back in on my server as well as going through x amount of unread messages on discord lol so many apologies;

Buddy is saying that persistent loadouts are not saving when dying and choosing to respawn but saved loadouts in bacon show and work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled most up to date mods as of two days ago (12/27)

[foggy ridge]

loadouts dont save on death

[steel yew]

👍🏻 Thank you for the answer.

[acoustic yoke]

Thanks for the info pookie there server I play on most definitely has it on it’s a blast hearing people argue over coms lmao

[azure adder]

I’m on console and I’m trying to get access to game master but it won’t give me the option how do I get game master

All custom scenarios don’t work cause I’m trying the conflict ones and I can’t even join a team

[azure adder]

No one know how to fix it?

[digital crane]

you start a scenario that says game master

[azure adder]

I did but I can’t assign myself game master When I click on the option it dosent do anything

[digital crane]

if you start a gamemaster scenario in singleplayer you are already gamemaster

[azure adder]

It wouldn’t let me access it tho

Im on it rn

It says no active game master and I can’t vote myself gm I can’t give it to me from the Admin tools

[wild spear]

It won't if you are in conflict game mode rather than GM Game mode.

[wild spear]

Select a side then you can join by joining a team or creating one and be the leader of the team and press deploy when it let you.

[azure adder]

The problem was I can’t get into gm mode

[wild spear]

on conflict or literal GM game mode?

[azure adder]

I can boot up the thing but I can’t get into gm It says no gm appointed and to vote for one but I can’t vote or use the admin tool to get gm

[wild spear]

ok the option will be disable on conflict. Excluding Pc workbench version. So if you want to be GM then you can go on the literal GM game mode.

cant be GM on conflict on the official servers.

[celest stratus]

Guys, does anyone knows any admin mod for Reforger that allows you to respawn dead players?

[gleaming holly]

What do you mean? Players will be able to respawn on their own as soon as they die

[stable topaz]

If you're in a game master session the GM just needs to place a spawn point

[celest stratus]

I'm playing custom mod with permanent death, not conflict

[gleaming holly]

Oh then you will likely need to create your own mod to allow players to respawn in the gamemode. Are you talking about overthrow?

[celest stratus]

I'm using Reforger lobby mod for custom missions, but it seems that it doesn't have such feature to respawn dead players

So Im asking if someone knows if there's anything like this in the workshop

[gleaming holly]

Ahhh, gotcha. I don't know much about that mod or any mods that edit it. I would ask here https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1166105746757398558

[celest stratus]

Appreciate a lot! Happy holidays 🥂

[round pier]

Is there a bug report channel?

[austere nimbus]

go down 1 channel, check the channel description, go to that website, check if someone else already reported it and if not create a bug ticket yourself

[placid linden]

What is the best place to purchase an arms server from?

Arma*

[magic pebble]

bacon is basically the only provider avaliable. all the rest were shutdown.

[placid linden]

Do you have a link @magic pebble

[magic pebble]

search bacon on this discord server. you can see him, he has a blue name. DM him

[placid linden]

Fs thanks

[woeful junco]

or you can find any server hoster...

[placid linden]

@woeful junco all the other ones I’ve seen have really low ratings and people say that they pretty much scam

[woeful junco]

no one compains when things are working let alone write a good review

[autumn locust]

Any suggestions for any good server providers? @woeful junco

[last marsh]

hetzner, for eu

[foggy ridge]

Careful with using Hetzner for popular servers, you will need a separate DDoS protection service as Hetzner does not have any.

[last marsh]

@latent shard edging?

[spark hound]

Edging?

[foggy ridge]

Using Microsoft Edge

[latent shard]

gulp

[placid linden]

Does anyone know how to get modded scenarios where the whole map is taken over by AI and you have to take all the points back?

[verbal mesa]

There is one that already exists and it expands the AI quite a bit. Gramps makes it, PvEConflict 2.0https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5E990AC4614243FF

[acoustic yoke]

Do these people not go to work I CANT QUEUE UP!

[fading rivet]

I hope we can see firing from vehicles and more weapons added to the base game.

Feel like we could use boats too.

[verbal mesa]

Probably won't see firing from vehicles

They would have to animate every gun in every position with new reloads and everything else.. That's a lot of animation work.. Might have hope in A4 though

[steady otter]

I hope so too. A4 has a "date" so I doubt Reforger will get expanded anywhere near A4. I'd love me some sniping from helis, boats, scoped MG for USA, BMP for USSR, bolt actions, sling loads, useful medics, and obviously tanks + more AT. Those are sadly low possibility. I'd say Reforger has fulfilled its purpose nicely, and after a round of fixes it should sail smoothly into 2027 when A4 takes over.

[drowsy quartz]

He didn't explicitly rule it out but Buchta said that FFV was deemed to be "too complex" to implement into Reforger "[...] at the moment".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdJvFV4mVxw
(skip to 1:09)
Given that he does say that he personally wants FFV in Reforger, there's always a chance that it might be added later down the track once Reforger's roadmap is done.

[jagged spire]

Been playing for 2 days but is there anyway to heal yourself? I’ve notice when I have minor injuries that I can’t seem to figure out how to heal them.

[last marsh]

morphine and time

[eager sandal]

inject yourself with morphine. Then eventually you'll heal yourself

[west jacinth]

How to heal.
To stop bleeding use a bandage for every wound that bleeds.
For blood loss use saline water.
For minor injuries use morphine and just wait.
Tourniquets may be used to temporarily stop heavy bleeding, but they impair movement. Sometimes it's faster to use them, find a cover that use a bandage. The same tourniquet may be use multiple times.
Do not overdose morphine.

[celest granite]

To heal you need some one to "heal you" with a med kit inside the hospital buildings or tents or next to a ambulance

[jagged spire]

Thanks guys

[sand bramble]

when you drop a flashlight on the ground the light doesn't stay on anymore, was this intentionally removed or a bug?

[drowsy geode]

bug

[frail abyss]

https://i.imgur.com/1vvxMqu.png
Has the feature of putting down flashlights on the ground while it's on been removed or is it a bug its not on?

this is an older photo with the flaslight on while beeing dropped on the ground

[sand bramble]

just saw your reddit post and asked the same question lol

[eager sandal]

For those that use 21:9 ultrawide monitor, what FOV do you use? Do you use default 74 degrees or max 90 degrees?

[foggy ridge]

max

[eager sandal]

Also, does the right/left edge image distorted a bit/stretched when using 21:9? Unlike when its in your center. When using 16:9 I noticed object a bit stretched when its not at your center screen. This using 70 FOV

[foggy ridge]

little bit, it looks wonky when you look at a screenshot but its ok while in game

[bleak crow]

Why are are all the modern helicopters like flying tanks? Can't pen the underside of a little bird with 7.62 from an MG3 and can't shoot the driver out by mag dumping the ZSU 23mm armor piercing incendiary ammo through the windshield. I'm seeing Blackhawks survive 12 or more of 57mm armor piercing incendiary AA cannon shells. Only way to kill them is to snipe the pilot, start a fire that kills that kills the heli of hit a clit sized sweet spot on the rotor to make it pop off.

[woeful junco]

none of what you said is in the game

[bleak crow]

Sorry I didn't realize this was only for official server questions

[slow pagoda]

We have a lot of channels for different topics

how specific mods work should be preferably asked in their threads if those exist

[foggy ridge]

I think what you are seeing is desync. The problem is your target has to be hit serverside for it to register, so the faster it is the more unnaturally you have to lead it, because the position of the vehicle on your screen is behind where it is on server.

[slow pagoda]

but commonly "why mod is X" answer is because its maker made it that way or something might bug

[foggy ridge]

I think a few rounds from the zu23 into rotors of any helicopter in singleplayer will pop them off unless it's bugged.

[bleak crow]

No, that's what everyone had been telling me when it would take 3 or 4 100mm heat shells from a T55 to down a Huey. After the explosive update, the "desync" entirely stopped. T

[magic pebble]

news to me

[foggy ridge]

When my ping is 150 and I want to destroy a helicopter I fire in front of it so much on my screen no hits land but it blows up because I hit it serverside.

[bleak crow]

every explosive in the game is op af now. tanks are getting crew wiped by 1 rpg, even throwing grenades at an abrams will kill the crew.

[foggy ridge]

But it is not impossible that there is a bug in some mod maybe colliders of the rotor are not finished etc. Just my experience.

I actually boosted damage of the zu23 so I'm confident vanilla choppa rotors snap off after like 4 rounds max.

Maybe modded rotors are made out of vibranium

[bleak crow]

This goes for all helis and I'm not sure how many different modders made the hueys, blackhawks, mi24s, mi28s, little birds... they've all got absurd health and won't die unless you hit them with something actually explsive now that HE pens through walls like butter

[foggy ridge]

To be fair if you can easily down vanilla chopper but not mod chopper then I think it's not your gun

[bleak crow]

oh I didn't realize I was talking to the creator of the zu23, I like your work

[bleak crow]

its the helis, yes

[foggy ridge]

I think helicopters should be quite squishy

[bleak crow]

do you also mod vehicles? or familiar with how the armor stats get set or idk anything about mods

[foggy ridge]

I think the way penetration works was changed a lil bit in recent updates

[unborn totem]

Is there any CADPAT or Canadian mod? Or mod packs?

[verbal mesa]

Not really

There were cadpat clothes but they're gone now

[shut bison]

Rhs got some in the ion box i think. It might be the dev version of the mod tho

[verbal mesa]

Vergy is the one who made the original cadpat so would make sense

I hope the rest of the Task Force Canada team comes to reforger eventually

[unborn totem]

Damn alright thanks guys, do we by any chance know if and when mods are coming to PS5?

[terse cloak]

This year if ur in czechia

[bleak crow]

#videos_arma message Explosive penetration changes made all the difference. Is there any reason why the 23mm API wouldn't melt this pilot? #videos_arma message

[odd ridge]

is there any advantage to deploying a Detonator?

[celest granite]

ambush, any one can use it and every one you tell will know where it is

[odd ridge]

for ambushes, any advantage over just using the denator?

[tepid torrent]

Yep great for base defense, lay charges in a treeline, deploy detonator at fob, tell everyone to pop the detonator if enemies enter the forest

[odd ridge]

With this new found knowledge, I must become a menace to society with it in reforger

also is there a set distance I can go with the deployed denator?

there, I 'm assuming its the same as just using a detonator by itself

[tepid torrent]

Yes

[foggy ridge]

Yeah I think you are onto something

[bleak crow]

I went 79-0 in 10 minutes in the T55, its disgusting what explosives do. But I also die like 5 grenades thrown at me and 1 rpg wipes the whole crew.

[foggy ridge]

We need to use vanilla as reference, if armor behaves weirdly compared to vanilla then it will be on the modder to patch

[bleak crow]

I have legit about 99% of my time spent in vietnam and inurgency, I don't know which vehicles are vanilla

[bleak crow]

I asked tandemheat about his 57mm AA truck he said "I wouldn't be surprised if the modded helis were just beefy bc those things used to shred."

Asked him if deals explosive damage at all because it looks like it explodes on impact but still, pilots are dying from impact with the ground and not me.

[foggy ridge]

Well the huey and mi-8 are vanilla helis

[timber steppe]

Do we have any idea if they plan to add NVG to vanilla?

[chrome sphinx]

Not coming

[timber steppe]

Any specific reasons?

[chrome sphinx]

Probably out of scope for Reforger

[timber steppe]

Makes sense thanks for the answer

[chrome sphinx]

Who knows, we still got 2 years till A4 and they announced more stuff coming then initially planned on the roadmap

[gleaming holly]

Does anyone have a map/list of all possible MOB spawn locations on Everon?

[magic pebble]

these are the ones I know of. There is also a spawn near the castle on top of the mountain, I just don't remember where it was exactly.

[drowsy geode]

its south east of Montana on that pic

[gleaming holly]

Yeah near the lodge, cant remember the name of it

[spare glen]

does anyone know if there is a timeline on when Reforger will try and go up to original size of 254 players on a server? 😄

[terse cloak]

No

[bleak crow]

Both Hueys and Blackhawks were flying tanks on the AC servers I play on but its too soon to tell if Blackhawks stopped having "desync" hits. Theres not really any tanks besides the T72 which is not an AA tank. I do have a clip with the SPG9, pretty sure that is @simple horizon 's #videos_arma message

[foggy ridge]

I just tested it and you are onto something. The rotors are indestructible unless you hit the shaft. However shooting a very short burst out of the ZU-23 into the general area of the cockpit instantly deleted the pilot. I used vanilla huey.

[bleak crow]

That's funny, I called it a clit sized sweet spot.

[foggy ridge]

You can see the pilot vaporizes instantly in top right killfeed

It does take a surprisingly large amount of those bullets to light it on fire though. Will buff.

[bleak crow]

hmmm I'm not sure what to make of all that

whats are you thinking?

[foggy ridge]

I need to find some resources on what was the ratio of rounds in those magazines during the cold war, ratio between HE-T and AP

[bleak crow]

theoretically, what would happen if you buffed the penetration them by 50% or something? probably cut through them like butter as intended? Idk what would be reasonable but maybe its just that the helis are unreasonable. Nato 7.62 won't go through the littlebird.

Or from what Ive seen, is the passengers that get wiped by eplosives and small arms first, the pilots are by far the most procted from all angles.

[foggy ridge]

I'm looking for some kind of loot mod for everon xtra or could zeliks work since it is everon?

[spare glen]

alr we can only hope @terse cloak

[elfin inlet]

newbie Help... do i have to start the game all over again and loose my progress, if the base no longer lets me recruit?

[frank cloud]

Question… I’m seeing vanilla crossplay servers have their own scenario, are they just changing the name of the scenario somehow or do they have their own scenario made and loaded to their server with out the workshop? I was under impression you had to use the workshop to load a custom scenario

[magic pebble]

those are northgate's server. you can use the mission header to make your own layouts.

[frank cloud]

So they’re just changing the name of it?

[magic pebble]

the name, and the layout. they can disable any base and make any base a victory condition. making a custom base layout.

[frank cloud]

Ah I just made an Everon conflict with out the 100s of civi and fia vic spawns everywhere on the tools and wondered if I could get it loaded to our server with out using workshop/mods

[valid idol]

Are mods coming to Playstation?

[terse cloak]

yes this year

[valid idol]

I was about to say, “Oh thats so close” but I forgot the year just started.. 😭😭😭

[eager sandal]

I think more like 'maybe'. BI and Sony are currently discussing about it. If Sony said no, then no mods. But probably there will be mods, but at what level? Full like PC players or limited... meaning some mod may not be compatible with PS5, because of Sony.

[gaunt basin]

The server queue is so shit i waited like 30 fucking minutes in a queue to get in the Vietnam server just for it to say error and reset

[near oak]

then dont wait in a 30 min queue. i know its an odd concept never done before but you can join one that doesn't have a queue and magically you will just be in a game

[pallid cipher]

Hello, did the reforger tutorial with all the trainings completed, wasnt awarded the achievement. Anyone knows the issue?

[terse cloak]

yes, old bug

[gleaming holly]

How many channels are you gonna post this in

[golden zephyr]

Anyone else recently start crashing when you go into the arsenal? I’ve been having so many problems since the last big updates. I’ve re installed and validated my files so many times at this point. Not my first rodeo with arma but reforger is literally built different lol

[gaunt basin]

Theirs only one Vietnam server at the minute ya spaz and also any server that doesn’t have a queue is shit

Miss the days when you just spammed A and B to get in

[gaunt basin]

What do you do just play normal conflict or summit?

[gaunt basin]

Most of um to get the word across that it needs to be fixed ya bellend

[gleaming holly]

Lol gl man

Queue works fine for Official, might be an issue with your server or game

[gaunt basin]

I’m on about the modded servers you bellend

Is Vietnam official yeh

Come on kwitt lad spill the beans

[terse cloak]

Nah

[gaunt basin]

I’m being sarcastic to him

[near oak]

literally play official and one modded server as most modded servers suck mod wise/ performance wise/ and community wise.

its annoying as hell that when the queue system was not a thing it was people bitching every min of everyday about how game is ass due to no queue system. and now its the same thing but reversed.

and as you type out " The server queue is so shit i waited like 30 fucking minutes in a queue to get in the Vietnam server just for it to say error and reset" like you are the first one with this huge idea that has not been said before. even though it has been said. every. minute. of. Every. day. since it came out. like the devs are going to read YOUR message and be like " you know what, hes right, REVERT IT NOW!"

could of just sat there and delt with it like the rest of us. but nah. lets complain about it for the 1,0000000 time

[gaunt basin]

They don’t need to revert at all just fix the fucking issue I don’t wanna come home from work do my shit then have a 1 hour sesh on my Xbox just to wait 30 fucking minutes and get no where

[finite turret]

Calm ladies, calm.

[timber edge]

Im always calm

[near oak]

it wasnt even a question. you typed in reforger questions and it wasnt even a question.

[gaunt basin]

Yeh because I was spamming it in every chat because I was pissed off at the time

[finite turret]

The fact that you wait 30 minutes is not on us but based on a full servers, people playing rather long sessions, not leaving the server and the queue simply being too long.
The fact that you get kicked will get looked into.

[finite turret]

Don't do that.
Why? Because #rules

[magic pebble]

It is very annoying thing to have to deal with.

[finite turret]

Pissed off or not, spamming a message will never have a positive effect.

[magic pebble]

Dey betta fix it fast cuz I’m gettin angwy, an dey not gonna wike what happen when I get angwy

[gaunt basin]

Yeh don’t mind waiting that’s what a queue is for BUT BY THE END OF IT I WANNA BE IN THE SERVER NOT WAITING ALL OVER AGAIN

[finite turret]

Zip it.

[gaunt basin]

Exactly

[magic pebble]

You wanna fight wif me? Hewwo, I’m weady wif my wittwe fistsies!

[finite turret]

If you only have a limited amount of time, maybe don't select a server that is full and has the queue at max.
For the getting kicked, once again, will be looked into.
No need to repeat your point again.

[gaunt basin]

Every server that doesn’t have a long queue is shit

[near oak]

false

[finite turret]

That's your valid opinion and I won't even start arguing about that.

[gaunt basin]

Just can’t be arsed to wait another 3 or 4 months for this shit to be patched for another big bug to come lurking around

[gaunt basin]

Been like this for about 2 years now ahahaha

[finite turret]

I won't engage in a discussion about development timelines or what not.
All I can and will say is that we are looking into those issues.
And regarding what has been wherever for 2 years, I wasn't employed at that time, can't make any statement to that either way.

[gaunt basin]

Fair enough lad it’s just annoying when you can’t even enjoy the only decent game on Xbox

Gta 6 will be out soon anyway buzzing for that

[finite turret]

I do understand the frustration. Yeah I know, sounds like a standard company nonsense sentence, bla, bla....
But I come from the community, Arma 3 that is, have nearly 11k h in Arma 3 and believe me when I tell you that I had more than just a fair share of frustration.
Nevertheless, I now do work in QA at BI and improving the experience for players is not only my job, but also my passion and my personal agenda.

Having that stated, in the future, now matter how large the frustration, please do stick with the rules.
Would be a shame if we would have to take actions because of that against a player that certainly seems invested into the game.
Thank you for your understanding.

[gaunt basin]

Good little chat anyway mate hopefully it gets fixed hope you had a good New Year’s Eve

[finite turret]

A good year to you as well and whilst I can't say what might be fixed when, there will be improvements over the time.
Have a good one!

[quaint copper]

Depends on the target type youre shooting at and ammo scarcity, but the most common load seems to be 3-4 HEI-T rounds for every 1 API-T rounds

[floral fractal]

In the Reforger Startup Params, there is a profile command, with examples being named. What does this exactly imply? Can you essentially change your name this way vs your steam profile?

[west jacinth]

Which part of that you don't understand?
"profile

-profile defines the PATH TO THE PROFILE DIRECTORY to be used, either by parent directory name or by path.

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -profile "David Armstrong" // targets %userprofile%\My Documents\My Games\DavidArmstrong\profile
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -profile "C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\ArmaReforgerDir"// targets "C\Users\MyUserName\Documents\ArmaReforgerDir\profile"

[floral fractal]

Said example directories don't exist in my PC.

[west jacinth]

You need to create this directory. But there's no need to do it, because by default Reforger creates its own.
Why do you want to use that parameter?

[floral fractal]

Looking for solutions of Reforger not allowing alternative names beyond the Steam Profile name.

[queen rover]

Hello Im new to game i cant communicate with my team because mic is not working need help

[west jacinth]

I don't think you can have other than the Steam name.
This operator doesn't change your name it only shows the game to the DIRECTORY where the profile files are (ReforgerGameSettings.conf, ReforgerEngineSettings.conf and InputUserSettings.conf).
Description of that parameter states it very clearly, doesn't it?

[floral fractal]

Coming from Arma 3 context no, because the profile directories were associated with what name you wanted.

[ancient rapids]

[still peak]

I seem to often have this issue (conflict official) where I build a structure at a base and it doesn't recognize that it has that support on the map. Dismantling and rebuilding can fix it. The things I build don't seem to have any missing parts.

And I've just confirmed when this is happening with the living quarters it doesn't apply the discount. Anyone know what's going on?

[bleak crow]

try changing your push to talk button for talk and using radio

[queen rover]

It worked, Thank you

[bleak crow]

You playing with GE force or something?

[grizzled kettle]

Can anyone explain to me how radio backpacks work? I’ve heard a lot of different things in game from people

[chilly briar]

Is Bohemia planning on adding an official mini campaign to Reforger? I want to see a series of showcase missions that cover features such as flying and AI commanding.

Even official scenarios would be cool

[wet bramble]

How long does it usually take to release a new major update (e.g., the upcoming 1.3) from the experimental to the stable branch version?

[slow pagoda]

There is no set time. And naturally holiday vacations put everything on hold for a while.

Updates happen when they are ready.

[wet bramble]

Got it, thank you for a quick response 🫡

[near slate]

when is the loading bar for downloading mods going to be fixed? i have no idea if anything is downloading or not

[spark hound]

Idk ask the developers

[chrome sphinx]

No

Wait for Arma 4

[stable topaz]

Try Elimination if you're on PC, it's on the Experimental branch

[feral prism]

what bug ?

[eager sandal]

There is no progress bar about the download. So the user don't know whether the mod is being downloaded or the screen froze. The devs acknowledged it is a bug, so hopefully fix will come in coming weeks

[feral prism]

while joining a server with mods ?

[eager sandal]

Yes

[grand apex]

is there any mod can reduce the aim sway????? really need some help!

[tiny salmon]

Does anybody know why when I save a GM sessions it doesnt appear in the saved folder?

[opaque shuttle]

how to set the "Drop from quickslot" shortcut?

[thorn furnace]

I think the queue being too long is on you 50 person max is unreasonable. Sth like 10 would be much better; at any given time you would have hundreds more people playing the game who would otherwise be sitting in that long queue. For some reason people don't scroll past 1st page of the browser. Once a server hits 49 players, it instantly shoots up to full.

[magic pebble]

HLL has six players queue max.

Although, I don't mind it. I like to play on the same server, and has no intention of playing on any other, so I don't mind waiting in queue.

[leaden kettle]

Do yall think they will add more customization options in vanilla. I hope they do cause they could do so much for both sides, adding balaclavas and hoods that you can raise or lower. THEY NEED ADD SOVIET DURAGS they are so like Soviet maxxing if they do that that is like and should be #1 priority. And balaclavas

[pure olive]

Server owners can choose the number of the queue Right ?

[thorn furnace]

Yes

[finite turret]

It very much depends on the server and on how the servers owners use it
If a server for example is a fast paced game mode, for example a gun-game or such, having a higher queue might be reasonable.
If the server on the other hand has a game more which takes time and has players engaging for hours instead of maybe one hour, using the 50 might not be appropriate.

[thorn furnace]

Sure, but two years of modding and no fast paced gamemodes arose, people just play Conflict.

[finite turret]

You can always create one yourself.
Can't blame people for liking conflict.

[foggy ridge]

Sure you can

[finite turret]

Could, sure. But I wouldn't call it a reasonable blame 😄

[thorn furnace]

I'm trying to blame BI for making max queue too long.... I think actually the logic is backwards; queue resets when round ends, so fast paced game-mode with long queue, you join and never get in.

[neon meteor]

I hate hard limits and blame the server owners

[finite turret]

I see what you are trying. But I don't accept the blame at all. There is no need to artificially limit it to for example 10.
And to my knowledge the upper limit of 50 is based on some backend reasons or something similar.
Arma always has been a sandbox where the community is being provided with frameworks and tools to use as they like.
People will learn on how to best utilize the queue over time.

[terse cloak]

If there was no limit of 50 server owners would put 9000, id say like 30 is the max thats good, 50 is just a lot

[neon meteor]

Let people decide

[finite turret]

I also don't understand why everybody has such a high queue.
If I would have a server I'd set it to 5 or so. This way the people within the queue should come in within a reasonable time and others would hopefully choose another server.

Nevertheless, this still is no argument against providing more options.

[terse cloak]

I mean these same owners would rather have 5 server fps than less than 128p

[wary raft]

I feel like BI should simply make it lower by default.

Both Squad and HLL have way lower queue sizes IIRC and probably for a reason.

[finite turret]

Changing the default is a very much different discussion than limiting the possibilities.
I don't even know what the default is right now.

[thorn furnace]

Well that is most obvious. For visibility. If you have 50 people queueing your server, it is exposed at the top of the server browser list. If you have 5 people queueing your server, it doesn't even show on the front page.

[finite turret]

That's a mindset I don't understand.

[magic pebble]

Limitation is not always a bad thing. 50 is crazy. im rewatching the sopranos waiting to get into servers.

[thorn furnace]

My server is empty rn If you want to play with yourself.

[magic pebble]

you would watch in gm you perv

[smoky lance]

i would love to see VR support for like headtracking. i havent been a big fan of trackir. i feel like using a headset would be better since you can get a high-end headset for under $900 (Pimax Crystal Light) and for arma 3 the option was use vorpx without battleeye because it was not whitelisted or the other option was steam big screen beta and virtual desktop and enable trackir, but it wasn't immersive as vorpx was.

[neon meteor]

So it's a good thing in the end.

[woeful junco]

everyone who uses a vr headset has problems reading, most people dont play arma with vr headset since its basically impossible to see things far away

[smoky lance]

the pimax seems to improved upon that Crystal Light (899$ which is like the cheaper option and affordable, it has 2880 x 2880 resolution per eye), Crystal Super (2x the price of light, it has 3840 x 3840 resolution per eye). VR tech has been improving

Curious if I want to start my own Dedicated server and do a conflict mission, also I want to add certain things to the heavy vehicle depot, do I have to alter all that in the Arma tools mission editor?

[cold mist]

Why is reforgers audio so dog shit, it makes no sense i can hear enemy players 20ft plus opening doors in another building walking around but i cant tell how close someone is to me stomping around in 80 pounds worth of gear💀

Bush rustling is insanely loud too

[tepid torrent]

some doors do have weird sound, and i agree that simply footsteps arent enough, there needs to be rattle of gear as well, this should depend on what you are carrying, but bush rustle seems fine

[cold mist]

Its just garbage

[cold mist]

Was in an apartment building at almost the very top floor idk how many stories and i could literally hear bushes rattling all the way at the top inside of the building

[viscid basin]

Begging when is mods coming to PlayStation

[chrome sphinx]

Sometime this year

[viscid basin]

Really don't be joshing me lol

[chrome sphinx]

It’s coming sometime this year lol but I wouldn’t be surprised if you guys only get limited access to mods since Sony is so strict

[viscid basin]

That would piss me off and I think turn more people to Xbox

[eager sandal]

Its on Sony hands. They may even say no to mods. So the answer to when mod for PS5 is, we don't know yet. Manage your expectation(s)

[viscid basin]

I have none I use cloud gaming thing to play on PC and at times my mic is horrible

[terse cloak]

They actually prefer you to use the ingame reporting now

[terse cloak]

When ingame access the playerlist, then select the player and report them

[eager sandal]

Wasn't this also pinned? If not, then it should...

[terse cloak]

Its not pinned

[rare wagon]

Go to multi-player and host a session of your scenario, instead of playing it straight from the menu. You should automatically be the admin and be able to use GM.

Wasn't there tritium on M16 ironsights to help shooting at night IRL?

[magic pebble]

remove the ""

[still peak]

Is one of the helis better at surviving crashes than the other (objectively)? I'd assume the Mi-8 due to being wider and having wheels that (if unlocked) would do better with the physics than straight friction of the skis, but idk if anyone has stats somehow. Or if one just has more "crash health."

Note this is just about surviving occupants, not components.

[last marsh]

why did you add quotation marks

[quartz lance]

I use them as well and it works.

Generally speaking, yes
The RPK just has a heavier barrel to keep recoil low

[edgy mist]

Are mortars in reforger yet?

[supple wigeon]

On the experimental version

[celest granite]

From what I can tell the rpk has slightly less bullet drop for an extra 25 meters

but it also has a higher ROF

Is there a way to fix me not being able to talk I’m on Xbox

[dry sail]

Question, what is Arma Reforger? I've been wanting to move from Squad, and was told Arma Reforger is the way to go.

[magic pebble]

imagine squad, but instead of one point to attack there is 20 and each player can do whatever they want.

[dry sail]

And how many people?

[magic pebble]

128

[dry sail]

In your opinion, better than squad?

[slow pagoda]

sounds like a mod, youll have to figure out what mod you have and how it works

[slow pagoda]

well not always

[magic pebble]

yes by a large margin

[eager sandal]

The thing that teamSpeak use for voice activated comm, is it called noise gate? Where the comm is only activated when it reached certain dB? Is there other 3rd party software that can do the same and work with Reforger, without plugin?

[crisp path]

I like it more

[dry sail]

official servers aren’t the way to go?

[crisp path]

In my opinion I have had 10x the fun of playing on community servers than official

There’s modern, Vietnam, gulf war, and vanilla and 128 players on most servers now community is the way to go

(Coming from someone who has 1890+ hours in reforger across pc and console)

[west jacinth]

Discord. But using external software to communicate within the game is a bit unfair, because enemies cannot hear you. Of course I am talking about PvP.
Unless you mean software that activates your in-game comms. Then no, there is no such thing ATM.

[dry sail]

Where would I find good, modern, community servers? And how would I download the mods?

[tepid torrent]

downloading mods is easy, it will automatically download the ones required by server, also a lot of the community servers are very popular and will be at top of server list, a fair few are modern

[simple raft]

Yes they are mods for King of the Hill mode. The problem is that I don't know where to look for information and it costs a lot to buy the components in the game.

[still peak]

You'll probably need to look up the mod pages for the Scar and the individual optics you are curious about, and if the info isn't there then you need to ask for info on the discord for the modded server you're playing on.

[toxic nacelle]

anyone can tell me what this means just started showing on server side over and over again

Does AI fireteam spawner work with combat ops Everon?

[granite barn]

hey, i'm new here. bought and started yesterday. thought I check out "combat ops - everon" before i hop in on a server. was quite fun yesterday. but seem like I can't load the save game today. UI said "saved session" or some thing like it whenever I arrived at a base...ehm hideout. and exit buttons said something like "save and exit". and in the scenarios list i can "continue" instead of "start". but it always seems to start a fresh game.

I'm quite confident I'm doing some obvious noob thing that prevents me from getting there. what am I doing wrong here?

[chrome sphinx]

Pretty sure combat ops saving doesn't work right now

[granite barn]

lol. still alpha it seems.

[strong frigate]

Have the devs acknowledged the VOIP issue where enemies can you see you on their UI? This breaks the game and needs to be changed like immediately. Completely ruins any chance of stealth in PVP and is pushing my group into discord which blows

[stable topaz]

Yep, it was in their change log

[strong frigate]

What change log? Like for the experimental?

[stable topaz]

Latest patch

[strong frigate]

Like that issue is fixed in experimental?

[stable topaz]

No, they introduced it as a feature, not aware of any other commentary on it from them yet

[strong frigate]

That was intentional?! Why in the world would they do that. What an awful decision. I can’t see myself playing Reforger much longer while that remains in game honestly

[terse cloak]

reasons

[strong frigate]

Such as?

[stable topaz]

Yeah it's pretty bad. Think it may be to do with the switch to PS5?

[strong frigate]

God I hate consoles and Arma - nothing but problems

[gleaming holly]

Yeah Sony required it

Gotta make sure players can see everyone's name so they can report anyone saying mean things properly

[floral fractal]

Pretty sure it's for the deaf and impaired.

[strong frigate]

so do they create a mod that fixes that then? or how does that get fixed? Can they just not crossplay Playstation players? That change is pretty much a PVP ruiner

[gleaming holly]

How so? A deaf person wouldn't be able to hear what the player is saying regardless of nametags

DayZ is the same way on PS, player names pop up when people speak, Xbox/PC dont have that for DayZ at all

[hardy fox]

hi guys, quick question. Me and my friends are trying to set up a server using Hamachi, but when we try to do it we either get "Connection failed: group=1 'REPLICATION', reason=3 'CONNECTION_FAILURE' or "Wrong game version". Any ways we can fix this?

[eager sandal]

Wrong game version is easy. Make sure the game on server and your PC is the same. Make completely doubly sure.

[still peak]

From what I've heard from other console players there was a setting introduced with the new controls to revert to legacy controls. Check your game settings.

[still peak]

I mean just don't talk when in stealth... Make a plan and then execute it silently.

[autumn locust]

Anyone have any idea why "task force mattock uniforms" isn't working? I've removed every single mod except for mattock and only 4 uniforms show up??

[stoic wraith]

Any word on when saving in combat ops is going to be a thing?

[torn linden]

Is this game good?

Like can u fight ai?

[gleaming rose]

Will there be a performance patch soon for Xbox Series X? Scopes need a bit of work, and more controller settings would be helpful for aiming. And there’s a large performance drop in close quarters combat. Shooting of any kind in close proximity adds a lot of frame drops due to the flashes, bullets, UI, and impacts.

[rigid cape]

Does the Steam version not support the Dualsense controller properly?

[rigid cape]

You can fight AI

[last marsh]

i think its more that arma doesnt support it for the steam version

[acoustic yoke]

When are mods coming to ps5?

[terse cloak]

this year

[acoustic yoke]

Is there a date yet?

[terse cloak]

Nope

[stray blade]

X.x.2025

[acoustic yoke]

Bet

[timber edge]

not an issue, was a requirement for Playstation to be able to play

it was on purpose I mean

[strong frigate]

I mean it is an issue, but an intentional issue. Hopefully modded servers can remove that asap

[hardy fox]

how can I check that?

[terse cloak]

top right corner, are you guys on exp?

[hardy fox]

sorry bro what is exp?

[terse cloak]

experiemental

[timber edge]

experimental branch

[hardy fox]

I wouldn't say so, it says 1.2.1.169 (Steam)

[timber edge]

what about your friend?

[hardy fox]

same, 1.2.1.169

nice one, now we got a different error

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

[still peak]

Just try connecting about 20 times.

If you try hard enough that one goes away (or shows up, depending on how you look at it).

[hardy fox]

Im trying now, will update

is there any reason what causes the error, how can we pernamently fix it?

[stray blade]

Server ip cant be resolved. Your client cant reach server.

Port forwarding failure, badly configured server, or servers network too busy

[timber edge]

theyre using Hamachi so non port forwarded I think

[hardy fox]

Yeah we are using Hamachi

[still peak]

Honestly not sure. I see it often when playing on official servers, and sometimes it instantly goes away/fixes itself, and sometimes it gives the same error for maybe 5 minutes or so. There might be an actual issue with your server, but since that error seems to be something that just shows up whenever, it's hard to tell.

[proven hill]

and hamachi shows as connected and you're sure they are using the correct IP?

[stray blade]

Quite unstable. Reforger requires shitloads of bandwidth

[hardy fox]

yup, hamachi shows us both online

[hardy fox]

how can we host a stable server then?

[timber edge]

port forward I think is all that you really need. im not sure though

[foggy ridge]

You only need like 400 mbit to run 128 players

[unique needle]

Try alternatives like radmin and etc

[mighty willow]

Who handles matters relating to mods on the workshop?

[woeful junco]

depends on what you actually mean

[torn linden]

Dude reforger is so good

I subscribed to a mod on reforger but how tf do I use it

[stable topaz]

Which mod?

[torn linden]

I think like an ak mod?

[stable topaz]

Mods can work in different ways, sometimes they add weapons to the arsenal, sometimes they replace existing weapons, etc.

But what's important to know is that you'll always use the exact same mods as what's on a server.

[torn linden]

Like I don’t get it I hosted a server and it said I can enable the mods and I did but their not in my inventory or nothing so how do I get them

It’s like a m110 sniper mod

And I only had the option for riflemen

[stable topaz]

This one? https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5CA125536EE7430A-M110DMR

[torn linden]

Pretty sure

[stable topaz]

So if you enable that mod, start a game master session, pretty sure you'll find those if you place a US arsenal crate

[torn linden]

I’m new to this game like literally yesterday so idk what that is

[stable topaz]

Ok, well play around in Game Master first I guess, learn how that works

[torn linden]

alr.

This confusing asf lmao

[sweet lagoon]

Is that PIPCQB mod still up? I can't seem to find the damn thing

[kindred basalt]

Removed atm

[sweet lagoon]

Damn

[dire relic]

So I built a machine gun nest (PKM) with an arsenal truck, however when I constructed it, the sandbags were built but the machine gun is not there.

Must have been a bug, just did it again and this time it popped up

[still peak]

Sometimes when constructing items some assets may not spawn correctly (most often for me is the tent in the smaller Russian living quarters).

[terse cloak]

Its now fully in the game

[digital crane]

it’s built into the game now

[sweet lagoon]

Oh that's cool sweet

[digital crane]

it’s under gameplay in the settings

[sweet lagoon]

Bet thx man

[still peak]

I was able to repair the spare tire on the back of a UAZ (or maybe whatever the civ jeep thing is but I thought those were also UAZ). Is it possible to actually use that tire and replace/swap another, or is that damage modeled on that just for partial realism?

[terse cloak]

Nope

[tepid torrent]

would be cool if shooting out a tyre is possible in future, really hope devs include the deflated tyre component

[last marsh]

this is already a feature

[tepid torrent]

you havent seen the rhs video have you? yeah kiss goodbye to tyre sinking into ground, i will find you the vid

[last marsh]

what

[crystal idol]

"guys clearly you can't shoot tires, i saw a youtube video on it!"

[terse cloak]

Bro doesnt get it lol

[tepid torrent]

no you noodle! I mean there is better stuff possibly coming!

it is taking me forever to find this video

[terse cloak]

Google rhs 0.10

[tepid torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz_oNyE94qQ found it @last marsh

from what I have heard devs abandoned it a while ago to focus on more pressing features, but what we can see here is that the foundation is 100% there, there is a chance we will see it in reforger but I am going to guess that it will be a certain feature in arma 4

[last marsh]

the technology.. its just.. its not there. ahead of our time

[tepid torrent]

tech is there and can function fine, it just takes a little work from devs

[last marsh]

its just not possible

[tepid torrent]

the tyres will squash one way or another

[chilly briar]

When is elimination coming to the stable build?

[terse cloak]

When 1.3 comes to stable

[chilly briar]

Is there an ETA on 1.3?

[terse cloak]

Nope, u know the answer lol.

[tepid torrent]

still quite a few bugs so I would expect it to be a few months off

[crystal jackal]

yikes

[patent sequoia]

thats CAP

prolly a week or two..

[terse cloak]

Current exp has tons of bugs

[half locust]

nope, but considering this monday on the 6th was the first workday for BI after holidays, i would say it is safe to assume it is months away

[half locust]

surely not...

[golden zephyr]

Is there a way to ban people with the admin panel? I feel like maybe I missed it. I don’t see the ability to do it in either of my server providers, GTX and Nitrado. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

[foggy ridge]

You can use an RCON client such as battlemetrics to issue ban commands without being on the server. Some providers will have a built in rcon console as well.

[acoustic yoke]

Do the devs really look at feedback also what language do the dev team speak I was responding back to a feedback message and it switch all my English text into a different language? Is this the official discord for this game if not I’m guessing there isn’t one?

[terse cloak]

This is the official discord, devs prefer the feedback tracker to be used. The company is czech

[acoustic yoke]

That’s dope hopefully they will receive mine it was in game feedback prompt not that my opinion will matter much just hoping they do something with the console UI/Hit registration for combat

[golden zephyr]

Interesting, I’ll have to take a look. Thanks homie 🤙🤙

[final crown]

When bringing up the map, what is the icon underneath the pencil that looks like a silhouette of 3 people?

[signal spruce]

Yes, we read as much as we can, but sometimes things are missed. Hence why Feedback Tracker is preferred (or in-game feedback option). The company is based in Czechia, but please use English here though. 💛

[pulsar flare]

Hi, i would like to create some content for Arma Reforger on PS5 and send a Mail to the Press Team.

Sadly i couldn't get any Feedback so far.

Would it be possible to get in touch with anyone of the press team?

Kind regards!

[acoustic yoke]

Thanks for the reply I appreciate the info as well will do have a good one bro 👍🏾

[tough iron]

Recently, i only see console players in game. When it first released to ps5 i would see PC also. Has something changed ?

[terse cloak]

ps5 released

[tough iron]

Yh im on ps5 i just wondering if pc gamers no longer crossplay with console ?

Havent seen a pc player in game in ages

[slow pagoda]

it is still crossplay

[terse cloak]

when you have juice contentrate in a cup, and then you pour water on it, its starts diluting and the color dissapears. Same thing basically happening

[tough iron]

Nice analogy, thanks both for answering

[foggy ridge]

Help I am becoming a console

[austere nimbus]

sudo make bacon pcmr

[foggy ridge]

That's better

[paper lily]

Curious if I want to start my own Dedicated server and do a conflict mission, also I want to add certain things to the heavy vehicle depot, do I have to alter all that in the Arma tools mission editor?

[lusty dock]

Is bacon the best server provider? Looking to host 128 player.

[austere nimbus]

Can't speak from personal experience, but based on his knowledge about servers (shared on this Discord) and no complaints about it (in comparison to other hosters), I would say it's one of the better ones out there

[gleaming holly]

Yeah his service is 100% geared towards Reforger so its a breeze to set up/configure your server. Ive been hosting with him for about 8 months and have no complaints

[valid idol]

When is mods coming to playstation?

[terse cloak]

This year

[acoustic yoke]

Is there anyway to fix connection error on my end I’ve tried everything… this chet is gonna make me squirt bro

[idle crane]

My friend used to use bacon but we recently switcher to liberty interactive and honestly there servers are way more consistent run better cheaper as well and the guys that run it are super chill and supportive 👍

[timber edge]

I'd suggest not waiting for it. It's not 100% guaranteed that Playstation will get mods yet, and it could take even longer, so just live life and play reforger and if mods come out treat it like a surprise and celebrate

[fiery ingot]

My bacon M4 gun sounds arent working, I can't hear the gunshots. Anybody know a fix for this?

[quartz lance]

Ask here:
https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1110586149740748890

lol thought its about a weapon made by bacon...

Well maybe it is...

[stable topaz]

Tried it without any other mods?

[fiery ingot]

not yet

[stable topaz]

Just good practice, I'd rule out any conflicts first before going to the mod creator

[foggy ridge]

Take the suppressor off

[foggy ridge]

Could they post some data to indicate the run better part? I'm always looking for ways to improve service quality 🙂

[old talon]

Has anyone used the logitech 3d pro flight stick on pc? I set it up yesterday and it worked for a session, played today and can't get it to work. I'm using joy2key and it's not registering today

[terse cloak]

Hotas isnt officially supported atm

[old talon]

Yeah I'm using a 3rd party to get it working, just seeing if anyone else uses it. @terse cloak

[terse cloak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oa2vA2aINY

[old talon]

@terse cloak thanks, I have looked at this n followed it but couldn't get it to work tho.

[honest marsh]

how do you make modded vehicals spawnable threw GM like the mod has been published but we cant figure out how to make it so players can spawn it in gm

[tardy veldt]

Does anyone know what today's update was on PS5?

[terse cloak]

#socials just bug fixes

[chilly briar]

When will the LAV-25 release?

[terse cloak]

The sametime elimination releases

[shell spire]

French only ?

[acoustic yoke]

What was the update about?

[terse cloak]

#socials bug fixes

[acoustic yoke]

Thanks

[acoustic yoke]

Are we gonna be getting any FPV Drones in the future?

[stable topaz]

Officially? No, the game is set in 1989.

[acoustic yoke]

Hm do some people mod it to modern times?

[stable topaz]

Yup!

[acoustic yoke]

Can’t wait for that tbh

[kindred basalt]

try this mod you should be able to use all rhs in US and RU
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/62B8398FB2605FA1-rhstobasegamearsenals

[fiery ingot]

Yes, I used an RHS to vanilla arsenals compat mod, just fixed it THANKS

[timber edge]

whats the Placard on the left side of the Huey for? I havent been able to find any pictures with it on it? I hope this is reforger enough considering its modeled on it. (its between the co-pilot door and the bay swinging door)

[stable topaz]

this thing?

[timber edge]

yeah, im not finding many pictures with it

a buddy told me it reminds him of the VIP plaques from his time in the presidential fleet, but said he hasnt seen them anywhere else really

[stable topaz]

Potentially unique to the helo BI worked from, I'm not that clued up

[timber edge]

moreover I hope we can have custom markings/plates on it in that spot or something? but not sure how thatd go with the consoles

[stable topaz]

First thought was some sort of quick swap mission insignia

[stable topaz]

It was sort of a thing in Arma 3

[timber edge]

yeah I know, but arma 3 wasnt on consoles, custom emblems would likely lead to issues from Sony or Microsoft cause some people ruin it or something?

and sony doesnt much like unvetted 3rd party stuff, and both of them have a general distaste for distasteful pictures and whatnot

[quiet sky]

cod games used to let people on play station make custom emblems when that was a thing so I don’t think that would be an issue

[timber edge]

Yeah but then they'd have to make an emblem creator, and even then games don't allow it cause people make unsavory things sometimes

[slow pagoda]

sometimes = always 😄

[timber edge]

And the chances of being able to import 3rd party images/emblems ain't likely, unless it's heavily vetted, can't exactly recall how 3 had it

[cold nexus]

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=time to penis

[still peak]

I feel like people would generally describe a sausage as savory

[clever flower]

Is there a way to get a uncovered PASGT helmet? There are shown in one of the images on the steam page but me and my friends can't find one and we did try seeing if the helmet had an inventory similar to the rifles with scopes/mags.

[quiet sky]

People also say and type those kind of things ig bi should just remove voice and text chat then

[timber edge]

Voice chat has a utility, emblems don't. Apples to oranges

[quiet sky]

It used to be in the game idk what happened to it

[tepid torrent]

Yeah wtf it was in for a bit and then removed again, sneaky devs

[tepid torrent]

It is in game files along with afghanka cover for ssh68, it will be merged soon I guess, the devs love drop feeding us

[fossil condor]

So how much did bohemia spend on advertising because suddenly every youtuber and their mother are doing videos on the game

[little marsh]

zero

[quiet sky]

It’s just because it has a lot more players now

[tepid torrent]

Idk but it has really sprung up in popularity, the more content creators covering it especially with good advice the better

[fossil condor]

I'm not complaining, its great that servers are finally full

[tepid torrent]

12880 was the most recent peak for steam players, a broken record in terms of launch numbers, as for how many console players only the lord knows

Bottom line is BI is lining their pockets with money for future reforger development and Arma 4, so at this point operation reforger is a success despite years of uncertainty

[lucid tulip]

maybe 0 but im pretty sure they at least sent out a notice " hey check out our new patch" to certain CC's. because some of them never make any videos on a game like reforger unless thier a significant patch out

every product including games do need marketing after all especially if you are just about close to finishing roadmap content

[quiet sky]

the number of daily users was almost 175k

[tepid torrent]

Crazy numbers

[storm wolf]

Hi, how can i search a mod by it's Workshop id?
The ingame ws as the webside have no result for e.g. 5D84C738432BFE6A

in the search bar.

[zenith talon]

Does anyone else randomly crash after 15 min?

[gloomy forge]

Why do when i am in the game i have 0% usage of GPU, but when i do an alt tab, i've got more ?

[broken agate]

You can put it in the URL (https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5D84C738432BFE6A)

[storm wolf]

yeah would be cool to have this in game to assign directly to the mod. I've created a ticket.

[broken agate]

Please, put it into the feedback. It could be queued for development If desired by responsible dev team.

[storm wolf]

I don't understand your answer not completly (sorry english is not my first language) but here is the number:
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T188171

[broken agate]

Exactly like that, thank you 🙇‍♂️

[vestal sluice]

What's the kb button to change the ridicule brightness on your scope?

[still peak]

Alt tabbing all of the sudden means your computer has got to render all the other shit you have open, which it didn't care about when you were in Reforger, which itself may also be fairly graphically optimized (or does most of it's graphics on the CPU) leading to nearly no GPU usage in Reforger (also dependant on what you were doing in Reforger during the test).

Best guess.

[gloomy forge]

I'm playing with windowed borderless, but i don't think reforger is optimized enought because in cities i've got 30 fps but still the gpu is at 0%

[still peak]

Then the second thing I said. The game might just not be programmed to use the GPU much (or something could be weird with your installation or setup). A similar thing used to (and still does to an extent) happen in a game called Star Citizen, where people would have terrible frames and their GPU would be seemingly doing nothing because the game was set to basically only use the CPU.

[ancient rapids]

What was this update yesterday supposed to fix? All I'm hearing about now is widespread crashing more frequent than before the update...?

[gloomy forge]

well the original question was asked in case someone had an idea to have the game using the GPU and less using the CPU

[still peak]

Was that test during "gameplay" (loaded into a world) or on menus?

Just did a test myself and my GPU (RX 6800) was basically unused in the menus (spiked at 3% loading game up and 4% joining a server). However once I made it to the faction select screen my GPU usage was a solid 75%, and after spawning in I'm riding 100%.

[winter zephyr]

Hold middle click when looking down the optic to toggle illumination, if that's what you are asking.

[gloomy forge]

inside a game (i have double screen with the task manager aside)

[gloomy forge]

I have a 1060 and 3% max... Some guy told me he has the same

Maybe AMD are used but not GTX ?

[clever swallow]

Does anyone else have the problem on the Kunar PVE Conflict with players occasionally floating high up in the air? If so does anyone know what causes that and/or how to solve it?

Specifically, we are using the Mike's Kunar PVE Conflict

[trail flint]

Is there ever a point where the experimental servers are decently populated?

[terse cloak]

yeah mid day in eu

[quiet sky]

That been an issue with the game since day 1

It happens on all servers

[foggy ridge]

Kunar just does that to you sometimes

[tough breach]

is there something wrong with downloading mods? everytime i try to download it immediatly says the response from the server took too long

[dusky halo]

question is anyone elses voices from other players like very buffery/laggy?

[tepid torrent]

Usually this is due to bad network between either you a d the server or the other guy and the server

[dusky halo]

i have like 40 ping and its for everyone so idk

[tepid torrent]

What are your down/up speeds?

[dusky halo]

lemme do a speed test

[dusky halo]

837.23 download 37.38 upload

[sturdy geyser]

Why aren't NVG's being added?

[lucid tulip]

Because they want you to buy arma 4 or something

[timber edge]

They aren't in common use yet, and tbf the soviets ones do not compare at all to american ones, but no one really knows their reasons

Common use by infantry at least, pilots got em, special forces stole pilot ones somewhat, and armored vehicles often had their own Night vision sights. All for the US though, the soviets had a bit of a different dynamic

[tepid torrent]

With those speeds you shouldn't be having problems, maybe reinstall and see if issue persists

[dusky halo]

sounds good ill try that

[tepid torrent]

Yeah only roles using NVG would be crewmen and pilots, and those would restrict aiming with weapon, as for the infantry only select units would have access to night vision scopes

Personally though I think reforgers would benefit from night vision, simply because it could provide a good sample of what to expect for Arma 4

[stable topaz]

I think the best argument for NVGs is the disparity in monitor settings/capabilities

[rich spindle]

would be fun to have them in game, but not in conflict

[timber edge]

I do too, but giving it to Crews will be giving it to grunts and it won't be too good for balancing?

[timber edge]

Exactly

[timber edge]

Vehicle Crews don't even need it, they'd mostly rock NV sights on their optics rather than goggles sets, but pilots have no alternative to goggle sets, and giving it to them would be giving it to those walking loot boxes

[tepid torrent]

Can't properly aim guns with early NVG, they should be done with a pip effect

[timber edge]

5s actually ain't that bad, but either way only good for point shooting for the most part

And then people would be begging for NV scopes for weapons

It'd just enable more whining and walking loot crates

[tropic blade]

how to shut off ai on reforger conflict ? for a dedicated server ?

[lost moon]

Will reforger ever get dlss support

[slow pagoda]

check roadmap

[tepid torrent]

Most new players would take a look through the gen 1 and come back here asking why they are broken 😆

[lucid tulip]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=todNEKlkaVc

[timber edge]

I wanna say pvs-5s are gen 2

Its just sad the soviets don't have a good counterpart

I mean their 57s got a fisheye and a bulkiness that isn't too good

And then 57s have a transformer that makes noise when you run it, not too bad but enough to give Americans an advantage

[lucid tulip]

yeah and americans would even get gen 3 if counting ANVIS 6 for heli pilots. Maybe evne the odd PVS7 for some infantry if being generous

[timber edge]

I say give the pilots 5s, we're relatively not too supplied in everon/arland

And grunts can get 5s too, just can't run them with any helmet but the sph-5? (So 5s are mostly run without helmets?)

Grunts meaning not grunts, but the special spooky boys or some recon boys, realistically

[lucid tulip]

even the 228th aviation regiment's 1st battalion that was deployed in support of operation just cause had anvis 6's in circulation. the 228th is not even part of EurCOM ( generally the best kit was prioritized for West Germany) but part of US Southcom stationed in Soto Cana Airbase in the Honduras.

So if active duty units assigned region of non primary importance are being issued latest kit by 1989 that would probably be the case for Europe

[timber edge]

Did the 228th 1st battalion run hueys or hawks?

[lucid tulip]

Both

one of the companies had 15 hueys rest were hawks mixed with some cobra attack helicopters

some CH47's as well.

[timber edge]

And just cause was sort of weird, we threw a lot of good equipment at it (in addition to some older shit)

https://youtu.be/Th75DG7dawg?si=WOBQ8wf3JjKL_B6M

I think 6s would feel a bit too modern personally, and 5s are still great and in use at the time from what I recall (not totally trustworthy sources)

[lucid tulip]

if ANvis 6 is too modern id hate to think what people would think of FLIR being prjected into the Helmet sight ( IHAADS) for AH64A pilots during night flights

[timber edge]

Feel, not be, I get that they make sense

I just think 5s would make more sense and cause a bit less inventory bloat, and are generally older (since I don't recall the soviets having night vision that can counter the American ones of the times

With 6s you can't run them without a bracket? So grunts can't really run them, so they'd need an alternative anyway like 7s (which is think are a year or 2 too new to make sense in reforger

But that doesn't solve the problem of not wanting ground troops to get night vision. But knowing them they'd just run the sph-4 and nods anyway

But id rather them run 5s without a helmet than have to run 6s with an SPH-4 (for ground boys)

Sorry for the wall of text, I like talking about this hypothetical sorta stuff

[lucid tulip]

pvs 7's were in service by 89, but they were still new and not super widesppread. I saw some footage of a 82nd airborne NCO in 1988 operation gallant eagle excercise, of the PVS7 being worn with a strap on the neck.

[timber edge]

Yeah I know, I was meaning more widespread but thanks a ton for the concrete information

I just think that 5s would be the best bet considering the underequipped Americans of the region and the soviets general lack of 'good' NVGs

Could give soviets a night vision scope to help (1PN51), while the US troops would be lacking (even though Starlites are a thing and whatnot, just to even the odds since the soviets are stuck with the fisheye nods that can't really be run with their normal helmets

[lucid tulip]

1PN63 might be a possibility . Not sure if accurate but a reddit post claims these were issued to spentnaz starting in the late 80s. Were gen 2.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Militariacollecting/comments/t6s36q/can_anyone_id_these_soviet_night_vision_goggles/

[timber edge]

Now that I'd be totally up for, but I'd still want to keep the pvs-5s if the soviets got that

It works too, it looks like it fits the feel of reforger somewhat

Honestly now I want a pair to have, saw one on ebay for like $800, not too bad

[timber edge]

Thanks a ton for that, I think they're perfect for reforger

5s and those, just sad that there's no real soviet pilot nvgs, but could get those to work albeit not too historically accurate, not even sure those themselves are 100% accurate

[timber edge]

Just feels off for reforger, feels too 90s, I'd be fine with it for 4 if we get hawks and whatnot, just not with the current hueys

[lucid tulip]

It feels off? Of course. Thats Sph4B. not SPh4 😉

[timber edge]

Yep, chose it on purpose, it feels perfect for running hawks with

[lucid tulip]

SPh4B is 1990s. So its anachronistic for reforger. The original SPh4 can be modified with new visor that has bracket for flip up anvis 6 and are from the 80s.

[timber edge]

Yeah I know. It's got a extension for the knob from the visor

I used to do a little work on SPH-4s, just disassembly cleaning and basic electrical work

[timber edge]

When was the B visor adopted? I'm not too familiar besides being '90s'

[lucid tulip]

not sure either. Just 1990s. but im not sure how widespread it was considering ive read that in 1995 onwards the HGU56 was fielded. Which is the same helmet still in service today irrc

[timber edge]

Yep, I wanna say blackhawk down had both SPH-4s and HGU56s but it's of course a movie, it's about my only reference as I haven't researched it in that regard (and it was 1993 ofc)

This dudes got a 1994 dated 4b, trying to track down some earlier ones

[timber edge]

So at least 1991

Dudes got 2 dated 91

[vestal sluice]

yup thanks man

dam forgot

[timber edge]

I've heard yall mention triplexes in the same breath as the periscopes before, mind if I ask what exactly are triplexes?

[vestal carbon]

How do we know how much meter the ennemie is ?

[frosty lichen]

Will mods be supported on ps5?

[slow pagoda]

it is planned for, no dates on when has been given

[half locust]

no idea, bi will make an announcement about it in 2025 (about if/how/when)

[half locust]

rephrase is english please

[terse cloak]

Field manual teaches this

[still peak]

Take guess. Could be guess in mind. Could be guess with bullet. Could be guess with landmarks, map, compass, and time (for snipers only).

[winter zephyr]

It needn't be only for snipers. Estimating quickly with the protractor when you already know where you are isn't too hard.

[dusky halo]

that worked thanks boss

[still peak]

I say only for snipers, not as a gun type, but a gameplay type. Pulling out your map in the middle of active combat isn't probably a good idea, and if you are about to start active combat (rather than a single shot and staying hidden), you'd be better off sending a burst and making adjustments on the fly than figuring out your perfect ranging to then instantly be on the move.

[vestal carbon]

Thanks

[tepid torrent]

Good to hear!

[tepid torrent]

You can use tracers to lead your shots in, guess via map, or find range via optics, pso scope has an easy to use rangefinder reticle, for American optics however you must learn mills system

[vestal carbon]

ok

[timber edge]

The more you play the more you get used to it too, most players have the situational awareness of a turtle on a beach so you can spare a shot to make sure you're zeroed

I don't rock tracers, just look for the dust kicking up, tracers work both ways

I can range based on instinct personally, only ever off by one click

[opaque loom]

How do I use enemy radios? Playstation guy did it earlier, im xbox

[terse cloak]

You just pickup the radio and speak on it, depends on the server tho, official servers have it turned off.

[opaque loom]

Well I was on official and a Playstation guy did it

[lapis patio]

Each small square is 100m (zoomed in on the map), zoomed out the squares are 1km or 1,000m. There are built in range finders on some scopes like the PSO1 but you need to learn how to read them.

[supple wigeon]

It’s a glitch you’re not supposed to be able to talk on enemy radios.

[opaque loom]

Alright thank you

[timber edge]

its not a glitch, its a setting, you were on a game master server right?

[empty fox]

do more people play experimental or stable?

[timber edge]

Stable

[rich spindle]

in conflict, when you have an AI squad with you, does placing a defend waypoint just make them disappear? ordered it on signal hill and they disappeared

[timber edge]

No it hasn't, at least it hasn't happened to me before

[rich spindle]

weird, I'll try it again next time to see if it was a fluke

[timber edge]

Either way it's still a bug. May wanna make a ticket, though I'm not too sure

[strong frigate]

is that new training mission in yet?

[timber edge]

Yes

It came with the suppressors from what I recall, either way it's in and pretty cool

[strong frigate]

is there no helicopter training? I thought there was

[timber edge]

There is, you unlock further trainings by completing some of them

[strong frigate]

Ah I see

[vestal carbon]

Thanks

[tough sigil]

Anyone know how to turn on the Ponos camera, B-light strobe marker light, SWITCH MPLS Helmet Light?

There helmet attachments I just can't find the button

[rugged mortar]

Are you on keyboard and mouse?

If so it is your | key (underback space on the left of your keyboard) hold it is and will give you a attachment menu for the rifle you holding and any clothing, if it does not allow you to turn in on or off detach it and attach it again then try

[boreal reef]

is it normal to get only around 60ish fps in busy areas on 128 pop servers

with a 5700x3d and 7800xt

[chrome sphinx]

Depending on your setting yes

[boreal reef]

settings don’t really change a lot for me tbf

[slow pagoda]

it is normal

[strong frigate]

Anyone know whats going on with prone right now? cant seem to align with the gun when ADS and prone

[eager sandal]

You use with trackIR?

[strong frigate]

yes.

[eager sandal]

yep, problem with trackIR, pause the trackIR while prone. Don't know if BI aware... you can always put in feedback tracker, so it wont get lost; https://feedback.bistudio.com/project/view/66/

[strong frigate]

Understood

[boreal reef]

oky i didn’t know if i was underperforming

[fading canyon]

How do you remove an HQ?

[fading canyon]

Also can you not build new HQs?

[verbal mesa]

Can't and no

[fading canyon]

what's the point of the construction truck then?

[verbal mesa]

Fortifications

Can place machine gun nests and such and road blocks etc

[terse cloak]

Free form basebuilding will come at some point, its stated on the roadmap

[verbal mesa]

In 1.3 it can also spawn clusters of mines

[fading canyon]

which vehicle holds the most supplies?

[terse cloak]

Logistic trucks, the open and closed top carry the same amount. 600 for 1.2.1 and 1500 for 1.3

[terse cloak]

No?

[verbal mesa]

Yea

[terse cloak]

i literally checked

[verbal mesa]

They were there in the first version

[terse cloak]

they werent, unless they were in the one where the tank teeth were

[earnest spindle]

Currently having issues using radios. We have people completely unable to talk on radio, unable to cycle channels, or only being able to use a singular channel.

[fading canyon]

What determines how much supplies an HQ gets?

[terse cloak]

how much a base would get? the amount of bases it has range to.

[hasty plover]

Are you able to be game master in combat ops Arland? My friend is on PC, he created a server but it won’t let him spawn anything.

[fading canyon]

What does US have equivalent to the BTR?

[terse cloak]

In the stable build it doesnt really have one, closest to it is the humvee, for 1.3 which is the experiemental build for the game rn is the lav-25.

[winter zephyr]

The devs have also said that having direct equivalents between factions is not their goal.

[fading canyon]

how do radio backpacks work? so people from other groups can spawn on the backpack?
can they spawn on you while you're wearing it?

what if you deployed a radio backpack and are wearing a 2nd one?

[eager sandal]

People can only respawn on deployed radio backpack. They consume supply. Wearing on back it just function as a long range radio

I think only one can use as a spawn point per squad. And only member of the squad can deploy on that particular radio, if I am not mistaken. I may still be wrong though...

[floral fractal]

Correct, you can only have 1 deployed at a time, and you have to dismantle it to deploy another one.

Also, why the backpack has it's own supplies, you can supplement that with any supply source. IE a vehicle full of supplies next to it, or even a Depot.

[frosty lichen]

What multiplayer styles are there? Casual, milsim, anything else?

And how you would discribe them

If I read discription of casual in wikipedia, it doesn't match for Arma at all.

My question is, that if my server does not have any GUI help, everything is hidden (crosshair, icons, map gps location), but we don't have strict commanding, is it still milsim or not?

[terse cloak]

You can also fast travel to them theoretically with supplies and resupply them.

[fading canyon]

huh? how?

[terse cloak]

How to fast travel? Right click on map, choose the left option, select radio backpack, then ping your location

[tepid torrent]

Wait fast travel is still a thing?

[terse cloak]

Yes

[fading canyon]

right clicking does nothing
edit: ah nevermind, had to right click very fast

[floral fractal]

So Combat Engineering.

How much C4 do I need to clear roadblocks? It seems like I need a single stick per Dragon Teeth. But is there a faster trick or a way to amplify the explosive? I tried AT mine stacking but didn't seem to work.

[fading canyon]

What does commanding do? Where it shows Move and Defend?

[terse cloak]

If you have ai u can tell them to move somewhere or do something both on the map and in person.

[vague ginkgo]

All kinds

If you are one of those dudes who want to quickly just play a game and not interested in the roleplay stuff, you can either just hop onto an official server and/or public modded

If you are looking for milsim I'm sure there are small communities that exist for that and they would have the necessary mods

@frosty lichen Arma Reforger is like SQUAD and Arma 3

It shares styles from both of those games

[frosty lichen]

I run my own servers for reforger and I am trying to specify, who we are as a squad, milsim or casual.

😊

Maybe we are relaxed milsim? 🤣

[winter zephyr]

You can't fast travel with supplies in your inventory.

[opaque loom]

Official idk

[winter zephyr]

You were probably in a match that doesn't allow it, but somebody was exploiting the bug.

[opaque loom]

Alright ty

[frosty lichen]

We are realistic casual sim! Now I got it.😆

[terse cloak]

Good

[sand verge]

What is the differences between a M1025 and M1025 conflict variant? I'm looking at the components but there is so many settings I don't see a difference. Thank you.

[agile siren]

Am a total newbie as far as Reforger is concerned. I am keen to play the solo mods. The mods I have are shown below. What is the best way to enable them without risking conflicts/crashes?

[foggy ridge]

If you want to check what mods conflict with, open those mods in Workbench and check what they do.

[agile siren]

Thanks for such a quick response. Can't upload a screenshot of the mods but I want to know if the Whera Am I mod will conffilct with the Just in Time suite of mods?

[still peak]

[true reef]

Hi, is there a solution to recruit a civilian from another faction? Do I need to add something to the civilian character or to the faction?
Thanks in advance for your help!

[lusty sedge]

On the roadmap it mentions that there is a command role planned. Will the AI not in player squads be able to follow the commands of the commander role?

[opaque loom]

W

[twilit mirage]

If I kill a soviet AI, not FIA, and take their radio, does it work?

[terse cloak]

yes

[boreal reef]

can someone enlighten me about how logistics work very briefly

i get the supplies but how do the radios and shit work

[timber edge]

so radios have an inherent range, if you set up repeater towers which receive whatever you transmit and transmit it at a higher power with a higher range you can communicate back to the main base

so you can only command and control bases that you can communicate with

[boreal reef]

isn’t it somewhat like squad in that you need to have a form of radio in order to acquire supplies to a fob

[timber edge]

so you set up repeaters to increase your range so you can capture more bases to set up repeaters.
Unsure, I dont have Squad

[boreal reef]

ah right yeah okay that makes sense

so as you get further from main base you set up repeaters to carry it on to maintain the range

and then you can bring supplies and stuff via vic if needed

[timber edge]

yep, and theres main towers that increase your range by a ton that you dont need to build, just capture, theyre kinda OP but they are also sorta stupid to focus on

like tower entre deux

[boreal reef]

it’s been a long time since i’ve played squad but im pretty sure in it you have to set up a radio in order to place down a fob within its range in order to let your teammates spawn in it once its built

[neon meteor]

Does anyone have that picture which circulates sometimes in the discord that basically shows you what renders at what distances?

[tepid torrent]

No it is quite different from squad radio

[vocal vale]

how tf do u decline group invites? is there even a way or do i have to stare at this invite message on my screen til i do?

there is infact a request tab but I don’t recall a decline option

[astral granite]

Anyone know how to use the little bird rocket pods?

[still peak]

There's three kinds of radio range I've found. Sometimes, something is close enough to radio to capture, but not to connect back (best examples Tower Regina to Coastal Morton or Saint-Pierre). Then there's "standard range" where a base is close enough to capture and if you build a radio antenna at that base it will connect back to the main network. And then there's "close/overwhelmed" range, where sometimes a base is connected back to the main network without having a radio antenna built on site. This appears so be more common with bases connected to 2-3 other bases that do have radio antennas, but I've yet to figure out the actual logic to it (or what bugs are connected to "close and far ranges").

Connection to the main network means that you are able to spawn at that base (should supplies be available), and that it will start regenerating supplies at about # per ~4 seconds, where the number is how many friendly bases are nearby and connected directly to this base with radio antennas built. The regeneration numbers seem to sometimes be different (smaller) on bases in "close range" with no radio antenna built, but this can be fixed by building one. Note that sometimes at a newly captured base (or a base with a newly built radio antenna) there may be an initial one-time respawn cooldown of about ~2:30. I also don't know the logic of exactly how that works and when it does or does not apply, but if it is happening you will see the countdown on the map when you hover over the base for info. Note that radio towers (Regina and Entre Deux) do not count towards or affect the supply regeneration number.

Purple bases have a default +10 to their supply regen number once connected back to the main network, and the main base is either +5 or +10 (I feel like this was changed at one point but I might be insane). All bases except for the main base regenerate to 1500 supplies, and then stop. The main base seems to regenerate infinitely (until storage is full). As such it's important to build extra storage at the main base to make sure it's never full. Note that some bases have hidden storage close enough to them to count as actual base storage which can be regenerated into (Ex: Villeneuve) however the behavior of storages like that is not consistent across the map (unique to each base).

Multiple radio antennas built at a base do not appear to have any benefit (in terms of radio network functionality; redundancy is good). Whether the location of a radio antenna actually changes the range I'm unaware (and even if it does I'm not sure there'd be anywhere on the map it would practically affect).

Also somewhat related, the supply cost of a default loadout is 20 (which with a living quarters is just 10), which is much less than the actual cost of that loadout (the binoculars alone are 25).

[fierce oar]

Is it still impossible to have 2 deployed MHQs? I mean achieve that with modding

[thorn furnace]

I looked into doing that once, but it appeared closer to rewrite much of Conflict game-mode than an easy change.

[still peak]

Idk anything about what is or isn't possible but could you spawn an invisible radio tower (full tower like Regina/Entre) maybe under the map or in the sky at the location you deploy the mhq, and then a spawn zone with some logic to it? If the radio range works in 3d then you could adjust how far you want those to reach by moving the tower spawn vertically as well...

[celest stratus]

How to setup periodic chat messages on Vanilla server? My JSON only works on modded server

[wise cloud]

will they be adding parachutes to main game

[formal swan]

Im sure this question has been asked a fair few times, but Im playing reforger on PC. How does one change their username like on Arma 3?
Please dont tell me I need to change my steam name for that to show on reforger....

[floral fractal]

It's tied to Steam name. No more Profiles sadly.

[formal swan]

aHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Bugger! Alrighty, thanks. I hope profiles come back soon

[ashen stag]

was reforger removed from steam family sharing? it still shows the game as having support for it on the steam page

[near bramble]

hell yeah, less toxic players if that is the case hopefully they do the same for console
