[drifting beacon]

Hi, I don't know where to ask this question for the devs, so I'll ask it here: do you plan to improve the sky graphics? ( to have a nice rendering like in DayZ for example )
Thanks for an answer

[tepid torrent]

I'm what way is dayz sky better than reforgers? I haven't got dayz to check

[tidal moat]

Unsure best channel to ask this, too many channels 😄 but with conflict mode, while in the editor, i want the bases to remain where i place them and not to use the rotation, can anyone point me to where this is done in the tools please? i assume its in CampaignFactionManager or CampaignTaskManger, Or simular?

[tidal moat]

nvm found it

[drowsy geode]

The volumetric cloud system is definitely a weak point of Reforger

[tepid torrent]

I agree in terms of visuals and performance, but the shadows are great

[small lichen]

Sorry if this has been answered before but is there a known issue with crashing on Xbox? Every time I’m in a lobby for more than 60 seconds boom. Back to the Home Screen

It’s at the point my game will crash, I’ll reload into the server I was in and as soon as it’s loaded in I’m back to the Home Screen immediately

It’s at the point the game is just not playable for me

[timber edge]

I'm not gonna be much of a help but have you Uninstalled and reinstalled it yet?

[small lichen]

Unfortunately multiple times, I’ve cleared the cache. I’ve done everything I can possibly think of

[timber edge]

Ah well sorry I'm not much of a help

[small lichen]

Thank you anyway

I think it may be related to sound. Usually the sound cuts off for a few seconds before the the game crashes

[elfin inlet]

Hi Guys, does anyone know when the Collimater sight will be available for the Huey in regular Reforger??

[ashen stag]

yes

[atomic sequoia]

hey guys how do i actually find servers to join for this?

[eager sandal]

What you mean input delay? You mean the time it takes from normal view to full ADS view? That's just animation. Or time between click to ADS view? There's is no delay or at least not perceiveable. If you notice a delay in MP environment that's network lag. Why network affecting ADS, I have no idea. Because locally I don't experience it...

[lapis patio]

He means it's not instant like in a lot of FPS games. Arma is intended to be a simulation. Yes there is a delay compared to most games.

[eager sandal]

Well, I have experienced this delay in MP environment. The ping is high, and I noticed some delay between clicking and ADS

[ashen stag]

ignore what everyone else is saying, if you unbind toggle ADS and compare it to just hold RMB to ADS it's much faster

[ashen stag]

bro has never shot a bill drill in his life

[eager sandal]

Still that is not input delay. Maybe the animation a bit faster, not input delay.

[ashen stag]

He misspoke, he simply understands there is a delay

[eager sandal]

Very well then...

Because intentionally putting input delay is kinda bad, so I was just trying to seek clarification

[ashen stag]

it's a delay due to how ADSing was designed (2 keybinds for 2 separate functions that do essentially the same thing)

it's delayed for toggle ads so that way if you don't have your focus intensity 100%'d, you can have a CQC fov + fullzoom on irons

because temp zoom is bound to rmb as well

Toggle ADS is hard coded to be delayed, Hold ADS isn't. Like I said, try unbinding toggle.

[drifting beacon]

In Arma Reforger, the clouds are blurred and badly done.
At least on PS5 it's like that.

[chilly briar]

Are there any plans for a bolt action sniper rifle at some point?

[tepid torrent]

Klamacz stated he liked the idea of having a sample of one, but this does not mean they will for certain come, for now modded ones are great

[chilly briar]

I'm hoping they go through with it since they're adding stuff that's not on the roadmap. Did he say anything about single player content?

[tepid torrent]

Expect more singleplayer content, no more details

[chilly briar]

That's fuckin great news. This kinda sounds like a buildup to Arma 4. Possibly trying to connect the story to Arma 4. That's what I'm wondering since we're just now hearing about this new singleplayer content, and Arma 4 is still 2-3 years out from now.

[tepid torrent]

I hope we get mini campaign

[dire sparrow]

We definitely will, they will want to connect Reforger with A4 in terms of lore

And tutorial already has few story bits, so it wouldnt be far fetched to have at least couple missions

[chilly briar]

@dire sparrow with the 3rd map that's coming, I would expect to see missions taking place on all 3. It'll definitely be a campaign. I'm just wondering if they'll use this as a means of showcasing what the new engine can do by having a wide range of missions that are small scale covert ops, to large scale battles.

[dire sparrow]

Yeah that would make sense

I'm just a bit lost over their geographic locations, iirc some islands were rewritten to be located in atlantic now?

[chilly briar]

As far as I know, Arland is the only new map that's never been seen before in ArmA. Everon and Kolgujev were both in Operation Flashpoint. @dire sparrow

[dire sparrow]

I really like Arland

[rich spindle]

there is already a single player scenario on experimental which has some lore

[dire sparrow]

Pretty much the only island I play on in conflict

[maiden thorn]

Are they leaving previous gen consoles behind?
I do have Arma reforger and play it, but im just asking.
I swear I heard before release on reforger, there was a leak where it mentioned they were gonna release it on playstation 4 and Xbox one, but ever since they released Arma reforger playstation 5, no words on the previous gen consoles on for release.
Again, I'm just asking.

[eager sandal]

Probably things and circumstances change... They also probably don't want to experience OFP Elite the second time

OFP Elite was the first 'Arma' ever on console (the first gen XBOX), but it was release near the end of its life, then XBOX 360 came out, and OFP Elite was forgotten/overlooked by the masses

So OFP Elite is a commercial failure.

[crude egret]

What does the Medical pack even do?

[visual parrot]

Mainly gives the medic a steady supply of medical items.
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/boot-camp-health-system

[stray blade]

Inside med facility hospital/med vehicles, you can heal units to 100% given that you have supplies

[crude egret]

Ah thank you all so much

[stray blade]

Outside of that, its a medical arsenal

[mystic monolith]

New player looking for what's necessary in a loadout and what can be tossed?

[magic pebble]

bandages, gun, ammo. everything else is extra.

[still peak]

That sounds like more of an engine quirk than the bug cause. Only thing I can think of if there doesn't seem to be any connection between the crashes (other than being loaded in) is that your console is potentially overheating. In PC's that usually leads to a full crash/BSOD (Force Restart), but idk how it might present in consoles. Could also be that some component(s) of your Xbox are just breaking (causer of bad silicon or whatever).

See if you still crash in other game modes (idk what you've tried to far but I assume conflict). And see if you crash when "hosting" one yourself in single player. And see if you crash if you join a server but DON'T spawn in (some stuff is loaded before that so just sit on the team select screen for a few min).

After that (depending on what your findings are) I'd try loading in with different graphics settings, and that includes putting the graphics higher for specific things to see if there's an incompatibility somewhere.

[still peak]

You can also heal people with supplies partially in the field, however with the current injury recovery speed this is nearly useless (especially with how niche it is to have supplies in the field).

[stray blade]

does same as applying bandages etc

[still peak]

Bandages stop bleeding, the medical pack lessens the impact of a wound, like partially fixing a broken leg from serious to moderate.

[still peak]

There's nothing necessary. It all depends on what you want to do. If you use a flashlight when it's dark out, keep it. If you don't, scrap it. Do you use binoculars? Keep em. No? Scrap. Do you like to apply tourniquets, or will you always bandage? Do you ever use morphine, or could you care less? Do you care enough about your style to keep 2kg boots on? Do you know the map well enough to work without a compass? Do you care knowing how much longer it will be dark, or when the sun will go down? Do you help people build stuff (or do building yourself), or is the entrenching tool dead weight on you? Do you use the radio, or do you ignore annoying people (instead of kicking them to keep good team communication)? Do you care about armor plating, vest storage, fucking pants? It's all got a function to serve, and so if you use em, keep em.

How you play entirely defines what's necessary in a loadout, and nothing in strictly required. Not even a gun (although I don't think you can melee people without a gun in your hand so if you have no weapon you can't directly hurt anyone). Some people might expect to only be in the back lines doing supply runs, or need every kg of weight on their explosive spec ops mission to be absolutely necessary.

If you are wondering what specific items do to know if you care for them, ask away. There's just enough diversity in the roles in-game that there's no one thing you have to keep.

[mystic monolith]

I appreciate the help, didnt know about the boots. So far I'm working around 30kg

[still peak]

Also note that the base loadout costs less that it's actually worth, so if you are just dropping stuff off of your normal loadout and saving that to have less, you might be costing your team more. Also binoculars do not costs supplies when in the binocular slot, but cost 25 supplies when in storage like a backpack.

[hot mantle]

Is there an easier way to find the action option to bandage a downed teammate (akin to ace medical menu in A3)? By the time I can get the icon to bandage, my patient has died.

[still peak]

Sometimes it seems completely bugged out where there is no option as well, so note that in some situations there just won't be an interaction for you.

[mystic monolith]

This is a very good tip, I play conservatively and this lines up with a lot of my deployments

[hot mantle]

Yes that’s what I’ve found I think

[still peak]

But if your are on PC hold left alt

It shows nearby interaction points. Doesn't necessarily help with actually touching them tho.

[hot mantle]

Good to know. Thank you

[still peak]

The default loadout is 20 supplies.

For reference when you save something.

[still peak]

And if I made it correctly from memory again (have a special loadout I don't want to lose and don't want to suicide to respawn with the default one) the actual value of the default loadout is 59 (which really should be 84 but as I mentioned before binoculars don't cost anything in the binocular slot).

Also note that all the information I have is based on the Russian team as I don't play US. But I'd expect certain things like the default loadout cost to be the same if not very close.

[mystic monolith]

Good to know for logistics

[still peak]

And of course if you haven't heard, 1.3 is changing some stuff about logi (idk what just that there are changes) so who knows how long this stuff will be accurate for.

And if you have any issues using certain items in loadouts, note that you have to remove pants to equip a jumpsuit into the shirt slot, and must remove a vest/chest rig to equip a "large/armored vest" into the armor slot.

[rich spindle]

Seems like you already got some good advice, but I'd like to add that you don't have to fill every slot. You don't need two primary weapons and then a handgun. The default loadout is very balanced and has a little bit of everything, and like the user above said is cheaper that if you were to modify it

[halcyon orchid]

Hey folks, I have recently set up my own server via a VPS, installed a few mods and everything works so far, only I would like to make a few changes, e.g. add a tank at the heavy vehicle maintenance point for a faction, and I would like to make a few small changes, how do you go about it now if you would like to make such small changes, I'm just getting into the matter 🙂

[sand verge]

What is a good load out for a mid range American troupe? I want to use a scope for the first time cause I can’t see a thing with the stock but I don’t know which one is compatible / best and I don’t wanna waste resources

[floral fractal]

4x20 Carry Handle Scope. Goes on a M-16 so your only really buying the scope if you go with a default loadout.

[gleaming holly]

Is anyone aware of a mod that disables the squad leader markers on the map? The ones that track each squad leader

[timber edge]

yep, would advise stealing one though, you can often find them on dudes with GLs and a M249 or M60 and an alice or IIFS pack

[gleaming holly]

Im looking to remove all "real time" information from the paper map in game

[cerulean token]

Standard FMJ in the m2 jeep isn't useful for more than taking out infantry is it?

Feels like I should just fill it up with AP tracer ammo if anything

[timber edge]

it can definitely Pen a BTR from what I recall, but I could be imagining some fever dream

and APIT is always best (armor piercing INCENDIARY tracer)

[cerulean token]

Anything past FMJ is locked behind sargeant in Experimental, so idk if the jeep is worth it for taking down vehicles at those low ranks

[floral fractal]

50.cal will still punches like a 50.cal will be more then usuful for killing infantry. BTR you will want to go for the weaker armor.

[small lichen]

So far I’ve played in solo GM, online GM and conflict. The only mode where I’m not crashing is on solo GM. I’m pretty sure it’s not a hardware issue, as this isn’t happening on any other games, even ones more demanding than arma. The only thing you’ve suggested that I’ve yet to try would be playing on high graphics settings. But I’m pretty sure it’s something to do with sound, arsenals or vehicles. As gameplay is fine until an audio cut and then a home screen. Or there will be a crash when browsing the arsenal or when a vehicle is spawned in

[compact ruin]

Hey everyone how can I edit a scenario to allow my self and my co-op team see each other on the map? I'm assuming it's a setting you have to enable correct? I'm just running a 5 player co-op on my server, I was able to go on a server and see my team's squad locations on the map, it was a vanilla server.

the senario is combat ops - Evron if that helps.

[cinder root]

I dont even know where to start to ask this one but does anyone know an easy way to allow RU forces in a conflict server the ability to access USA equipment. have some people complaining about the backpack options on my server for RU forces

[still peak]

It's an M2... It's going to destroy whatever it hits. Only thing that Ap might change is how well it hits people inside a BTR.

[still peak]

I mean generally the US MOB is unmanned... Taking an Mi8 over there with the boys and loading up on the goods is pretty standard. No idea on actual server edits tho.

[grim iris]

With regards to PS5, can they play on GM missions which come with AR? I assume so, but just wanted confirmation.

[urban moss]

For deployed radio backpacks, what's the minimum safe distance allowed to spawn on the backpack or transport request to one?

[still peak]

How quick is your draw?

[floral fractal]

I don't know 100% but my guess is about 20-40m

[celest granite]

One of my close friends and Admins for my server is having a persistent error when trying to load into our server and he is the only one having this error and I'm hoping someone might can shed some light on the situation for us as we can't seem to find any helpful information that works elsewhere. Any help is greatly apricated and I thank you for your time.

Session error
Connection has failed.
Joining the server......

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

[twilit junco]

iam having the same error but only if my friend is hosting on his pc game so probably some ports issues, maybe ?

[sand verge]

We thought that so he redone some setting on his router and it didn't help. I've gotten this a few times on other servers but its always a temporary thing for just a few seconds to a minute at the max.

[gloomy forge]

Do you guys know if Bohemia is working on increasing tick rate of servers to reduce desync, teleportation, etc ?

[chrome sphinx]

They are always working on server performance and performance in general

[gloomy forge]

Everytime I play, it always feels like the game is in beta

[chrome sphinx]

Cool

[still peak]

I've often found it directly under the armor plate.

Unless there's technically multiple places you could need a bandage on the torso.

[winter zephyr]

Pretty sure there are two zones there.

[floral fractal]

If you use freelook key why near some one, it will highlight all the action nodes.

[magic pebble]

that how you find players hiding in bushes at night

[winter zephyr]

You can't interact with a conscious enemy in a way that would highlight then.

[floral fractal]

I think you can if the Check for Injuries action is enabled from them having some sort of injury.

[winter zephyr]

Oh, yeah, if they are injured it should work.

[faint wing]

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my microphone but only on Reforger, apparently people hear me but with a robotic voice. Do you have a solution?

[still peak]

Make sure it's people near you in proximity chat that are having a hard time. A lot of people don't understand how the radio system works in-game, and the further you are from radio coverage connected to the main base, the more robotic you will sounds to others. If there's an issue with your voice that doesn't have to do with radio range idk.

[faint wing]

Yes we were with the proximity chat the others had no problems. :/

[floral fractal]

I believe it's due to latency.

[strong plume]

hey im trying to launch ArmA Reforger and join my friend but I keep getting a message that says "Wrong game version" any idea on how I can fix this?

[stray blade]

Update your game. Or he needs to update his

[strong plume]

I verified my game files

[still peak]

There may have been an update since after they started their game. So they may be the one that needs to update.

[strong plume]

ah ok so I have to wait?

[still peak]

Potentially. I'm not sure what version they are on or you are on. My latest version is 1.2.1.173 (Steam). Idk how that translates to console versions though (if you are on console). Also if they are on the experimental branch of the game the versions could be different.

[stray blade]

Same versions

[still peak]

Are you joining your friend directly, are you joining a random server that they are on, or are you joining a dedicated server that your friend is hosting?

[strong plume]

yeah a friend

[stray blade]

So did you both check which version of game are you playing, (top left)? Is one of you using "Arma Reforger Experimental"?

[still peak]

Yeah if that's the case both you and the friend need to look at your game versions in the top corner of the game and compare the numbers. If your number is less than 1.2.1.173, something is wrong as you are not on the latest version. If their number is less than that, they need to update. If one of your numbers is higher than that, that person is playing on experimental, and you guys need to decide which version of the game to play on.

[rose gate]

hey guys, I just got the game yesterday.
I am a left handed player and my right mouse is technically the left mouse button.

I was able to change most of the keybinds, but the main menu is still for right handers. i can't figure out a way to switch it. every other game doesn't have this issue. is there a way to change this

[chilly jungle]

im having weird issues playing on 3440x1440 monitor... i currently switched and when i hopped on arma reforger it seems like my mouse or keyboard dont wanna work whenever i'm in game

and also im having werid fucking tears or some shit in my screen..

[still peak]

Are some natural emplacements (Conflict) jump impossible to get rid of? I have an MG nest here at the north airbase that I can't dismantle, and I've tried blowing it up but the dirt and gun are still there (sandbags all gone).

[ashen stag]

Will SAWs ever take stanags?

https://i.imgur.com/OxrtYMl.jpeg

[timber edge]

Then they'd likely have to make some jamming system. It's known that running stanags in an M249 is a last resort thing

[ashen stag]

just pull the magazine back

worked for me when i was a saw gunner

[timber edge]

What do you mean?

[ashen stag]

You can grab the front end of the stanag and pull it back towards you to mitigate the feed issues (real)

[timber edge]

Good to know, haven't messed with em myself, doubt i will now that we're rocking M27s but that's some good knowledge

[ashen stag]

the saw today is only unreliable because they almost never get replaced or properly maintained

otherwise, they eat

[timber edge]

Yeah, I'd take em over an M240 in a lot of cases, not that it matters cause they have different uses

[timber edge]

But it would be nice to be able to rock a 249 with a stanag, the amount of times my buddy rocking one had to switch to an AK after running out is too often, though it could be attributed to his lack of tact

[slow pagoda]

This might be good to ask in the bootcam chat channel

[wet bramble]

oh then im sorry for asking in wrong channel

[slow pagoda]

No worries, just there it may get better visibility from relevant people. 👍

[full grail]

Is there any reason as to why I use radio it repeats what I said just before I go use the radio, never had this issue beforehand and I am just curious (PC)

[terse cloak]

do you have 2 radios or a radio backpack.

[full grail]

Sometimes I know that if you have two it feeds back, what I mean is I can say something in an xbox party wait two minutes speak in game and it will repeat what I said in Xbox party.

[white lichen]

Can anyone give me some tips for Mouse Sensitivity, i want no accelleration but if i turn the mouse acceleration or "sensitivity curve" to 0, the ingame sensitivity is so low that i have to bump up my dpi a lot. When i use my optics however the sensitivity stays the same no matter the zoom so i cannot aim, i turned the "aim down sights sensitivity multiplier" to the minimum 10% but it doesnt seem to change anything

[hollow lintel]

Guys

I have an question

What means by Gameplay under control "Permanently aim kimme and grain" and "permanent objects" what these settings change? I can't figured out

[eager sandal]

What? Try put the actual settings label.

[hollow lintel]

Eh what?

[eager sandal]

There is no kimme and grain in the settings

[hollow lintel]

I'm a German I can post a picture

[eager sandal]

yes

[hollow lintel]

I send it to you in Private

[eager sandal]

Just post it here. I can't speak german

[hollow lintel]

I can't

[eager sandal]

Then try change your game languange to english and look at the settings label again and see what it says.

[hollow lintel]

Okay and what change the settings "enable while aiming down sights" and enable while freelooking"?

[eager sandal]

okey nice. I'll check what it does

[hollow lintel]

And persistent items

[eager sandal]

Sorry nope. No idea.

[hollow lintel]

Mhh thx

[eager sandal]

If take it literally it should mean if you ADS it stays ADS, but thats already in toggle aiming down sights in controller settings, so yeah. No Idea

[still peak]

The first option means that if you are aiming down sights, if you interrupt that (by doing something like sprinting), you will return to aiming down sights when you are able to again (like once you stop sprinting). If the option is disabled, interrupting aiming down sights will cancel that state. The second option is the same as the first, but for holding secondary items (items that you hold in your off hand, while still holding a main item, like bandages, entrenching tools, etc.).

[atomic hawk]

Are the ai bad at following order in conflict or is it bugs and stuff causing them to not really follow commands?

[still peak]

There are definitely some bugs, but they are so slow (I'm pretty sure) because the servers are angry. Because of how slow they are, it can feel broken, especially when you give them more commands before they've been able to understand the previous ones.

[atomic hawk]

Ok i hope it keeps getting flushed more because it's fun using them and taking bases

[eager sandal]

Cool. Good to know, never knew that. Now I wish they have "Persistent Rested Weapon". Like when you're prone, bipod deployed and rested, after reloading, your weapon become unrested and need to be rested again...

[edgy mist]

when are mortars coming to arma reforger console?

[still peak]

Whenever 1.3 drops I assume. Which is who knows...

All that we know (that I'm aware of) is that it's the next update.

[edgy mist]

Bogus how pc experimental gets them but not console

[stray blade]

There is a reason for that

[finite folio]

This was asked in Reddit: "Will ps5 be able to access the experimental servers in the future?"

Dev answer: "Definitely No.

I want to simplify our dev branch and make it easier to update to have quicker iterations, more stability testing. This is inherently incompatible with Xbox experimental version or with PS5 platform.

Just so we can work more efficiently."

Because I presume console game stores have a higher standard, I suppose an experimental release at the same pace as on PC would get taken down due to instability stuff.
Just a guess.

[gleaming holly]

Xbox also lacks the ability to submit crash logs, we can only submit reports which are far less helpful

When can we expect for the wired mic bug on Xbox to be fixed? Will there be a hot fix or do we need to wait for 1.3?

You mean the scale on the inside? It is equivalent to 100s of meters.

[wicked vine]

Can we have a safe zone thing for people with smaller TV's?

[lament edge]

Please ask in #manw_chat, you will probably have a faster reply there

[still peak]

That's the extent of my helping abilities. I don't know much about the networking/code/whatever for this game. Maybe there's some crossplay issue if they/you are on console and you/they are on PC (cause I think it's possible to set up a non-crossplay server), but if you guys have verified your files, verified you are on the same game version, and verified there's no mods involved on either side, I'm out of ideas.

Hi, if I want to play a private server with a my friend online, is there anyway to do that without dedicated servers?

[slow pagoda]

[sharp girder]

I play on PC, but when I try to host a server, my online friends can't see it

you probably need to portforward the gaming ports in your router to let the traffic through

Based on the amount of times its been asked recently I feel like a broken radio, but does anybody know of current bugs and or fixes to microphone not working in reforger? Ive tried what feels like everything. the issue is exclusive to arma, doesnt happen on any other steam game, discord, applications etc. Default recording device is set correctly and I have double checked this in steam, works fine in the steam settings microphone test. Ive disabled every other recording device on my PC in hopes it would force the game to use the only option. reinstalled the game. Addtionally this is only a recent issue, I was playing reforger maybe 8 months ago and my microphone worked fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Playing on PC.

Shure MV7 Mic running through Scarlett 2i2 Audio interface XLR not USB.

[candid flame]

Just to address this ive found a work around in the meantime for anybody else having similar issues, you could try this.

I have installed voicemod, im sure you could use any other virtual microphone. then set this to my default windows output. Instantly working.

Microphone not working (adding this incase people search discord)

Anybody got a good yt video for beginners? I competed the tutorial but still feel totally lost in the game

[fresh elm]

I like this one: https://youtu.be/F8hKS7lZrsM?si=bTzXXPNJ6MNuvGhX

[twilit junco]

still nothing about tools for admins? without the right tools there is total anarchy (I'm exaggerating, I know) no consequences on vanilla servers, does bohemia not want or can't provide tools for admins or does it expect modders to do it for them? just wait until the players start to leave because they can't enjoy the game because someone keeps ruining their base or killing teammates with impunity, i am almost always vote-kicked by bunch of people because they dont like if someone was telling them for not doing this (like wasting supplies for nothing) or dismantling antena because they want to take something from arsenal, no consequnce, and when i asked admins to do something about it they shrug their shoulders that they cant do anything without proper tools and using inside game tools also is out of question because they can't even enter the server because they have to wait in the queue or that banning via rcon doesn't work as it should (whatever that means)

[gentle vapor]

can I setup and save a class in a scenario and use it in multiplayer or do I need to join a server first?

[gloomy forge]

Is their a way to increase the speed of download ?

Context :

• I have WIFI 6 with >700MB/s download (theory, on steam its more about 300MB/s)

But i can't download more than 5MB/s on reforger, is their a way to "unlock" the download speed ?

[austere nimbus]

Make a large donation to BI so they can buy more/better servers to host the mods

[gloomy forge]

oh...

We should be able like a "peer to peer" to host an instance of mod downloaders

wait, people just could send bad softwares

[viscid basin]

I think I have 5-600 GB on my ps how much space is needed for modded servers

[terse cloak]

xbox has a 25gb limit., unless you mean PC

[last marsh]

this was already solved 2 decades ago, but its not a good solution... you should be more thankful that bohemia even allows you to download mods! go wash your mouth

[viscid basin]

naw im on pc i have the ps5 thats digital trying to figure out if i have to delete games thats installed

[last marsh]

ur not getting modded sergers on ps5 tho

[viscid basin]

O ok

[agile karma]

modded servers WILL be coming to PS5. It's already been verified by several creators. We just don't know when that will happen though.

[gloomy forge]

wait, i was respectfull, i was having a concern to "peer to peer" download...

I am thankfull that bohemia allow mods, my concern is about download speed, when having 30GB of mods in a server, you have mod updates almost everyday, being limited at 5MB is a pain.

Please be respectfull, I tend to always be respectfull in my message, you should do the same

[gloomy forge]

The thing is, how many modded servers you wanna play, usually the maximum you'll see on one server is 30GB, however the servers will often use different mods, so if you play a couple modded server, it can goes up very fast

[half locust]

there is no information in regards to how if how and when mods will be handle for PSN. There is a 25GB reserved space cap for xbox users (pc users don't have these restrictions for obvious reasons), so your question cannot be answered

[viscid basin]

@half locust thanks

@gloomy forge thanks

[robust fjord]

Headset - Cheap and good which works well on Reforger?

Does anybody have a suggestion? It should be OK on PC. Ideally, it should have good soundstage so we can hear where the bullets are coming from and be capable of handling all the audio effects in Reforger.

The Audio-Technica BPHS1 with Behringer UMC202HD doesn't work properly on ArmA Reforger, unfortunately. (Sound keeps dropping, though when you can actually hear, it is great!)

[fierce gyro]

Hi everyone, I have a problem with the game mods. The mods are not saved when I exit the game. I have to re-download them every time.
Even worse! When I download them, join a server, and then leave the server, they all uninstall themselves. :/Would anyone know how to solve it or explain why ?
I tried to uninstall the game and try again but it's not working at all.

[graceful wagon]

any servers to join with vc that you can squad up properly with people? people dont really talk much in the squads in game not a lot of coordination, thanks for any help

*discord or arma in game servers

[viscid basin]

@gloomy forge my PlayStation has 667.2 GB

[sour path]

so what are the servers that i see on yt that have like the mods and are modern combat

[delicate bramble]

whats a good tutorial video for learning how to fly in arma reforger for mouse and keyboard?

[gloomy forge]

It should be ok (as long that their is no software restriction)

Headset - Cheap and good which works

[neat belfry]

I want to rebind my toggle freelook to just once "alt", but when I press alt it always goes to twice "alt", any help? the controls of reforger drive me insane. Im PC

[neat belfry]

same issue with toggle sprint which I want to set to shift once, but when I click shift in the assign key menu it goes to 2x shift, like wtf is this? is reforger an alpha game?

same issue with the leaning keys assignment

[kindred basalt]

is there any mod to remove stamina or stamina effect ?
i used Reforgedstamina before but after the update it didn't work anymore for me

[frosty cedar]

What’s the likelihood of the devs adding more helis to the game? Like the chinook for example

[terse cloak]

near 0

[frosty cedar]

Damn. Really would like to see at least that get added in, but what can ya do

[still peak]

is reforger an alpha game?

I mean kinda yeah. It's technically released 1.0, but I don't feel like it should have been. Beta probably works best to describe it, but its primary purpose is a test bench for the new engine for both developers and modders. You want a full game? Wait for Arma 4.

[lofty sparrow]

Is there a god mode/invincibility mod?

[neat belfry]

ye beta at best

[still peak]

Asking in the text chat or on 42 for a communicating/coordinating squad is probably your best bet. IDK of any good community servers, but I bet you could also find something by browsing reddit or just joining random community servers and seeing which ones you like.

Or for a more reliable strategy, really all you need is to find a few people in-game that you communicate/coordinate/play well with, friend them (either through Steam or exchange some contect info), and start building a more permanent squad yourself.

[lofty sparrow]

nvm found it

[cerulean token]

Will there be animations for jumping out of vehicles? Currently getting out while the vehicle is driving looks really silly lol

[mighty anvil]

Is it possible to have non PIP scopes but not 2d? Kind of like how A3 does it

[fierce oar]

Any fix to heli nose down not working with arrow down and mouse key 5? Very annoying

[delicate bramble]

when im downloading mods why does my internet just go wild? my internet is no slouch but when im downloading mods every server goes up to 999 ping

[last marsh]

what do you mean

[still peak]

When downloading things, you are using your internet, so you have less internet for other things... So those downloads take priority over pinging the server. I know when I'm downloading Steam updates I can't talk in a Discord call cause the quality goes so bad.

[winter zephyr]

You need to delete your bindings file.

#reforger_discussion message

[mighty anvil]

Like the whole screen is zoomed in - so you can see the 3d model of the sight but you don’t have all of the PIP lag

[lapis patio]

Nope. It's like that for a reason, simulates looking through a scope so you can't quick scope like COD

Unless there's some launch command or something that i dont know of

[winter zephyr]

The answer is no. If the performance hit is too high, you only get 2D scopes or dealing with it/lowering other settings.

[timber edge]

Whole new helo ain't likely, but new variants of current helos is a possibility, like a dustoff/medical huey and mi8, possibly a material transport huey with no bench

But that's from pure speculation, considering we will get more flavors of vehicles just nothing entirely new is likely

[valid idol]

So we all know mods are coming to Reforger Playstation, but is Enfusion also coming with it?

[still peak]

We need a damn medical helo

[still peak]

Enfusion is the game engine...

[timber edge]

I agree, it would be one big step to making the medical vics useful

[still peak]

Been driving around with the ambulance recently just trying to tell everyone "I CAN FIX YOUR LEGS!!!"

[valid idol]

I mean like, will Playstation users be able to create mods?

[timber edge]

If they get a pc yes. Otherwise you won't be able to create mods

[valid idol]

Okay, thank you.

[mighty anvil]

It’s because PIP renders everything twice

[fierce oar]

Hm, so I'll have to reassign everything again?

Where can I find it?

[tardy veldt]

Afternoon ô7

Does anyone know what the new update today was?

I tried searching for it on Google couldn't find anything about it.

[terse cloak]

Google arma reforger news, if u dont find it there it hasnt been added yet

[still peak]

I think C:\Users\[you]\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile\.save\[the folder in here]\settings\InputUserSettings.conf
And C:\Users\[you]\OneDrive\Documents\ should just be what you know as "Documents."

[ashen stag]

Is there anything from stopping a major arms manufacturer to use arma reforger as an advertising platform simply by uploading a 'mod' of their weapons system to the workshop? They own the rights of course, but wouldn't it be funny to see glock, sig, knights, DD, or boeing/GD/RTX/lockheed upload their own mods to the workshop?

[fierce oar]

If these mods are decent quality, why not

[odd ridge]

what are some kit ideas I can do with the big US army backpack that won't cost a shit ton of supply or at least be helpful if we forgo supply constraints?

[lofty sparrow]

Anyone knows why bloodlust2 was removed from the workshop? Was it cancelled or something💔

[ashen stag]

Th'ats not the question, it's a matter of the mfg themselves doing it

[sick lake]

Gents, do any of y'all hate the turn speed cap and mouse smoothing/deceleration that's in the game? It throws me off and just does not feel good at all.

[lapis patio]

Nah I like it. Simulation, not arcade shooter. You will get used to it

I do wish there was more deadzone on hipfire like in Insurgency though.

[sick lake]

Arma 3 had raw input, worked fine. It's a simulation, not an arcade shooter. Everyone was used to it.

Smartassery aside, it's disappointing with how looking around and aiming feels. It just doesn't feel good at all. It's a bit better with 2d scopes, but they're pretty bad in Reforger. Wish they worked more like Arma 3's 2d scopes. I'd use them all the time if that was the case.

[lapis patio]

Not being a smartass. I genuinely like it and feel that way.

[sick lake]

Lol, no, I was being a smartass. And I get it, I'm half of the mind that I like it as well, but it just feels so "artificial" in how we're limited. I'd rather have a mechanic like increased weapon sway if you turn too fast or something, rather than artificially gimped inputs which just feel horrible in any game, sim or not.

[lapis patio]

i will say it feels a lot worse on certain weapons. I can't stand the M16 but irl the platform is fine. Feels good with the AK for me.

Which is maybe a convoluted way of saying I love how the AK handles but can't stand the way the M16 handles even though I like it IRL. So some tweaking could be done for sure.

[sick lake]

I know exactly what you mean. The AK74 feels much better overall. There's just an overall "off" feeling with the mouse input and gunplay in this game (netcode is part of this) that just puts me off. At the same time, I really enjoy the game and sometimes just chill out and run supplies for the Hell of it in the back line. Reforger is a mixed bag overall for me. I was really wanting Arma 3: 2, but this is alright. Hopefully Arma 4 doesn't feel as gimped overall. There's several things, like the "Game Master" in Reforger, or the lack of Steam workshop, that I'm very unhappy with.

[rich spindle]

game master is an "alright" zeus replacement, but I wish we had a very easy to get into editor like eden. workbench seems much harder at a glance

[sick lake]

See, I think Game Master is abysmal in every way. It's a total butchery of zeus and just murders any kind of streamlined functionality that was perfectly fine with Zeus.

[lapis patio]

Thing is, Zeus took a long time to develop. I don't think we should think of Game Master as a replacement for Zeus, just an early iteration.

[rich spindle]

the interface is 100% a downgrade, I much rather preferred the tabs on the left and right of zeus

[sick lake]

I'd argue that Zeus took awhile to develop because a real time editor hadn't really been done before in Arma, apart from MCC Sandbox's real time editor.

[sick lake]

Yup, this irritates me most. The side tabs were perfect, even though you really didn't need the left side tab. They could have put waypoints and modules in the left side and units/vehicles in the right. There were ways you could improve Zeus, but that UI for "Game Master"? It was built for consoles and is horribly "in your face" and not exactly what I'd call streamlined.

[rich spindle]

it feels like it was designed after netflix with the way you have to select units

[sick lake]

YES, and that UI is present in so many games now, it's horrible.

[rich spindle]

It would be nice if PC got a seperate UI to console, being more similar to zeus

or maybe as a setting, because I imagine even some console players use monitors and mnk and would rather have a more compact and useful UI

[sick lake]

I'd enjoy that. It's a bit more work but I mean, come on now... A toggle setting for "PC-ized" UI or "Console-ized" UI would be excellent.

[rich spindle]

probably a lot more work then we think, but it would be a massive improvement

[sick lake]

Yeah, I imagine "coding it in" would be the hardest part, but the good news is they already have a good design template for improving "Game Master". Literally just copy over Arma 3's Zeus stuff, but adapted for Reforger as needed. I'll bet they were already inspired by Zeus Enhanced with the whole "right click context menu" thing in Reforger.

[rich spindle]

I do appreciate certain improvements such as being able to interact with map objects like doors and radios

and the on-map composition slots for checkpoints and buildings

but then the object limit is very small too for some reason, way smaller then conflict

[sick lake]

Yup. A lot of Reforger's improvements are more... "background" and "small" things. Engine improvements, little interactions, small details, those are excellent.

I think they limited stuff hard because of consoles.

[rich spindle]

well you can build up all of the bases on conflict everon, with consoles

but then game master you can only make about 4-5 simple conflict bases?

[sick lake]

I guess, haven't played with it too terribly much. I know it's quite limited.

[acoustic yoke]

What was the update about?

[terse cloak]

#socials bug fixes

[acoustic yoke]

Oh okay thanks

[coarse wigeon]

Question for devs. Will you guys be increasing the official server capacity back to 64 with the influx of Sony players or are they indefinitely capped at 48 players?

[kindred basalt]

anyone know what this one does from COALITION Squad Interface mod ?

[lapis patio]

guessing if you have line of sight you get nametags

[kindred basalt]

oww got it. thanks man

[acoustic sigil]

is there a mod to add the russian arsenal to the US one?

so people can grab russian kit if they want from the arsenal crates

[rich spindle]

horrible idea, team killing already happens frequently and will happen even more if americans are wearing and using russian kit

[acoustic sigil]

its for a PVE server

[rich spindle]

if you're making your own server, then you can just place the other team's arsenal where ever your spawn is

but still you're asking to have friendly fire incidents lol

[celest granite]

Won't be as much as a problem in the next update

[winter zephyr]

You can also edit the factions that are available in an arsenal.

[terse cloak]

I recommend for you to go to the ama on reddit and search for some answers

[cerulean token]

Is there any reason to pick 7.62x54R FMJ over the Sniper ones? Would FMJ be more effective close range?

[olive wave]

anyone know of any decent reforger conflict servers that prioritize teamwork?

joined so many community servers with teams filled with 1 man squads, then when i try to join a public squad no one's speaking

[winter zephyr]

Probably only if you want tracers. In 1.3, they also won't be rank locked.

[cerulean token]

Fair

I just saw a video recently where it seemed like FMJ performed better close range than Sniper

[winter zephyr]

I'm not checking right now, but I'm pretty sure FMJ is lighter, less accurate, and lower velocity. Just worse.

There are reasons to use the sniper rounds over API.

And vice versa.

[cerulean token]

Yeah API did less damage in the video

But was better long range in terms of damage, which makes sense

[foggy tangle]

What is Sniper ammo? Thats at least the literal translation from German to english. What is it? How is it different from full metal Jacket? Also, do tracer rounds do less damage?

[winter zephyr]

Sniper ammo refers to the accurized/match grade ammo that is available for the snipers. Compared to the standard/ball FMJ, it is more accurate and possibly also better in other ways (depends on the ammo/faction).

Tracers may be lower velocity and/or lighter, depending on the ammo. Typically it would be a really small difference, if any, though.

[still peak]

Anyone know what the absolute smallest (lowest volume) and lightest (lowest mass) inventory items are?

[still peak]

After a little very quick testing, it looks like (on the Russian side) Morphine Injector, Wristwatch, 6P20 Muzzle Brake, and 6P26 Flash Hider are "equally small" for volume. And Morphine Injector is the lightest at 0.02kg. Idk how to access the actual stats of the items so that's as far as I can go.

[rich spindle]

“Sniper” ammo seems to have less penetration power compared to FMJ as well, not sure how it affects damage for humans though

[heady drift]

Is there any strategic tips for commanding AI in public servers?

[still peak]

Hope

[still peak]

Follow Me only long enough to get them into a vehicle (you in the driver seat first, then Get In), drive them far from their summoning base, stop and Get Out, then Follow Me and they should kinda sometimes work. They will conga line in some random direction if they don't like you though, at any moment.

[winter zephyr]

7N1 (the sniper rounds) has better penetration and slightly higher velocity and mass than 57N-323S (the cheaper SVD rounds).

However, @cerulean token, the standard rounds do have a higher tumbling damage multiplier, so they can do more damage if they tumble.

[cerulean token]

Ah I see

[winter zephyr]

For the SVD, API rounds are the heaviest, but they have the same (slightly lower) muzzle velocity and variation (accuracy), and they don't tumble or mushroom (potentially less damage).

[still peak]

Also make sure when you use Get In that you wait until they have stopped moving altogether, and then wait about 30 seconds before trying Get In again (if they don't get in).

[wary badge]

Heya guys. Anyone know where to find the ban log for in game admin tools? Would be in the server console somewhere or ingame?

[stone blaze]

does anyone know why my ping on PC is so high but on ps5 its fine (both with the same ethernet cable)

[still peak]

PC might be prioritizing (or just using) other traffic, while the PS5 is a "more dedicated gaming machine" that's probably just focused on the active game (plus maybe the PlayStation Network).

[magic pebble]

If you are logged as admin, type in chat #banlist it should show the list of all banned players on the server and how long they are banned for

[wary badge]

Ah! Thanks rusty dude. Too used to battlemetrics/warden

[magic pebble]

it's #ban list
don't forget the space

[wary badge]

Copy copy thank man

[still peak]

Anyone know what's going on here?

After some further investigation, there seem to be two different volume values. One fills up the volume bar, and one is hidden in the background. These four items appear to have the same "front facing" value, however the hidden value is different for them all (leading to some gear saying it is too full by volume even though it has plenty of bar left). For example, you can fill an Auto Rifleman Harness with 240 Morphine, but only 100 Wristwatches, 96 Muzzle Brakes, and 66 Flash Hiders, however when dealing with smaller values, they are the same. Remove one watch from the harness, and you can add in 5 morphine, however, take a jacket and throw 3 pistols in there, and you can only add in 20 watches or morphine before it is volume limited.

The Morphine Injector seems to be unaffected practically by this. The Wristwatch secondary volume seems to be 5x the Morphine Injector. The 6P20 Muzzle Brake secondary volume seems to be ~5.151x the Morphine Injector. And the 6P26 Flash Hider a little more than that (I'm tired of trying to brute force this).

[west jasper]

How does one get the json of a mod?

[shut bison]

Click the puzzle piece thing in the main menu then click on JSON

Assuming you have the mod downloaded

[wicked matrix]

Has any good 'casual' PVE/Solo content been made for reforger yet? I know conflict is the main focus but in A3 I've always been big into stuff like Alive, DRO, antistasi, etc

[west jasper]

How do I set the password for the server admin tools mod in the config

[timber edge]

In experimental there's a single player scenario called elimination i think

[gleaming holly]

Its the line
"passwordAdmin": "<your password>",
in your config file
Its not specifically for server admin tools but for logging in as admin in general

[west jasper]

Why are bans much longer now?? I'm banned for two hours from accessing any server

[terse cloak]

any official server

[magic pebble]

The more you get banned, the longer the bans get.

[zenith talon]

You get banned for one accidental tk 🙃

[terse cloak]

If you did more before

[magic pebble]

yes if you tk a lot, the number of tk it takes to get you banned get less

[zenith talon]

No, I logged on today, accidentally tk'd once (in a game master game so not even official pvp) and got banned

[covert raft]

Is it against the rules to buy assets off cgtrader.com and use them in my mods

[foggy ridge]

Not if the license of the asset allows it

[covert raft]

So if it says no licenses then can I use it

[foggy ridge]

It should have SOME kind of license

[fluid gazelle]

is arma 4 gonna be much better than arma reforger bouncing driving?

[heady drift]

Is this for the first time I tell them to get in or the 2nd time? Because 1st time works all the time but whenever I have them dismount and THEN I want them to get back in, they don’t lol

[terse cloak]

we dont know

[fluid gazelle]

so f * * * * * * sad 🥲

[covert raft]

What does this mean

[foggy ridge]

I'm afraid you'll have to read it 😭

[covert raft]

I’m not joking I literally can’t understand it

I think it means I can

Am I right

[foggy ridge]

idk didnt read

[covert raft]

Cool

[odd ice]

Hi guys, small question. Is it posible to activate the proximity voice in reforger without "PPT" like in arma 3 with Teamspeak?

[austere nimbus]

you could just toggle the talk button (press it twice, instead of holding it) to keep the mic open

[odd ice]

But then it will take every small sound I make, right?

[still peak]

I follow that any time I want them to get in, however generally I end up leaving some AI behind everywhere I go cause at least one of them is too stubborn to get in.

[timber edge]

and show your mic is active so enemies could know there is a player nearby

[bleak edge]

is there a way i can host a server and play with my friends that are on playstation 5?

[mental pulsar]

not sure if it's something good for you, but I've started to use trackir and I assigned right mouse key to trackir pause. so when I ads, got no problems with that.

[last marsh]

you host a server as you would regularly. examine the official guide

[bleak edge]

My buddies ain’t able to see the server when I do that and I can’t invite them to join me or anything cause I’m on pc and they’re on PlayStation 5

[last marsh]

did you enable playstation as a platform

[bleak edge]

Ah, you mean install the server tool for reforger and create a public server

[last marsh]

yea, you dont want to host on the client anyway its really buggy

[bleak edge]

Alright

[winter zephyr]

But you could, just need to enable cross play and make sure it is visible in the browser, I think.

[bronze turtle]

When will modding bootcamp #5 be uploaded to YouTube?

[fresh mural]

can anyone explain to me how the soviet 1P29 scope range finder exactly works?

[daring dagger]

did you fix it

[gloomy forge]

No, i've got a theory about the how its 5MB/s but i don't have any ideas on how to resolve the issue

[daring dagger]

Ive tried everything and still no fix

[terse cloak]

If a persons head hits the top and legs hit the bottom he is in that range

[fresh mural]

and then how do i know what to zero in

the numbers dont make sense to me

[terse cloak]

2 means 200m

X times 100m

[fresh mural]

can you explain based on that picutre iam really not sure what exactly needs to align with what

lets say the tree in the circle on the right side is the enemy

do i need to align the bottom of the circle with the feet? iam kinda confused right now

and the horizontal black line where it says 1,5 with the head?

[timber edge]

Okay note the solid line below the range markings, that's what you line with their feet

And that 1.5 is probably noting that it's based on the height of 1.5 meters?

Idk really though, i prefer ranging as i go

[fresh mural]

yeah the black horizntal one that 1,5 is definelty the average height of a target

[magic pebble]

that doesn't make sense

the soviet main enemy wasn't filipino women

[fresh mural]

as far is i could find out its just a reference for the average target height

[fresh mural]

what iam not getting at all it says 12 , 10, 8, 6, 4
like 12 cannot be 120m 10 cannot be 100m

[timber edge]

Yeah I caught that after I said something, it just doesn't make sense why it'd have a 1.5 otherwise?

[timber edge]

Now I'm not saying it's the right way to range it but look at the 1200m mark, it's definitely not fit for 120 meters? At least i think

[gloomy forge]

The idea is to have a somekind of basic value that you could multiply easily, is some area you'll try to have 2m base

[gloomy forge]

its the number * 100m

[gloomy forge]

1.5m could be the average size of someone crouching, because people in war doesn't stand straight, so you'll have wrong distance if you put 1.7 or 1.8m

[timber edge]

Sorry but no way it's set for a crouched person. Crouched heights vary too much to range on them, better off giving a full height reference and allowing the user to imagine the height of the crouched person of they were to stand

And the 1.5 is likely a whole different thing now that I think about it

[fresh mural]

https://armedassault.fandom.com/wiki/1P29#:~:text=The 1P29 uses a magnification of 4x zoom that cannot be adjusted.&text=Its scope uses a black,post is coloured in green).

[gloomy forge]

I don't know, it seems "logical" to me to have a 1.5m reference to range people on a war, the idea is to have a perfect value, but to have an approximation, being able to differenciate between someone 400m away to someone 600m away. If the guy is standing up, then you range to the middle of the chest

[fresh mural]

A stadiametric rangefinder is also available for estimating the range of 1.5-metre-tall targets at distances of up to 1,200 metres away.

[timber edge]

I mean yeah 1.5 is easier to do the math for, but it seems a bit less useful for the dumb ones like me

[slow pagoda]

it probably varies between scopes

[fresh mural]

we are currently only talking about that one specific scope

[slow pagoda]

Id assume its made same as the real life counterpart

[timber edge]

It definitely does, I got an old svd scope with a rangefinder set for 1.7m

1.5 is likely just easier to calculate for more precise ranging or different heights

[slow pagoda]

from the miraculous interwebs

so its just made as it is irl

[timber edge]

Yeah, i guessed so, the argument was more along the lines of intent or the true meaning of said 1.5 marking

[slow pagoda]

you probably need to contact the manufacturer

or get a manual for the scope

[slow pagoda]

sure

for some reason they made it different

[timber edge]

Just a quick and dirty, but it confirms it is for a 1.5 meter target, but likely the reason for it stands more for ranging variable heights and getting more precise ranges due to it being a simpler number for it

[slow pagoda]

there isnt really any need for any calculations if you can reference anything of that height anywhere in your view

the curve will then show the distance

[stray grotto]

Where can I post about 3d modelling for reforger mods? I am trying to make a beard mod

[slow pagoda]

a door, a car, a person

[slow pagoda]

#enfusion_model

[stray grotto]

thanks

[timber edge]

Yes but no one is 1.5 meters, I don't see why you'd set it for 1.5 meters besides aiding the mathematic portion for varying heights. With a seasoned shooter you can learn where the 1.5 meter mark is on a person so you can line it up whenever. Feet to mid torso probably. But I don't see it being practically having a scope set to range for a target with a height of 1.5 meters besides making it easier to do the math for different heights

Making a scope with a rangefinder set for a crouched height seems counterproductive, if someone is crouching they're likely behind cover

[timber edge]

Yeah, fences could be a good target for it but i can't imagine something common enough that's 1.5 meters. And fences aren't exactly everywhere, what is everywhere is the target you're shooting, which is more likely than not 1.7 meters

Sorry I'm starting to sound like a broken record

[slow pagoda]

a bit. The design choise of the scopes manufacturer are not really Reforger related.

youll have to reach out to that direction if you want to know specifics

[timber edge]

Yeah I know, it's more along the lines of the actual scope and scope maker, it just seems weird to me and talking it through would help gain some better understanding in how to use it in reforger

Though the question of intent truly doesn't matter, whether it's for a crouched target or a fence or an easier way to calculate for different height objects. It's for 1.5meters and that's that

[slow pagoda]

maybe they wanted to be unique 😅

[minor acorn]

I believe it might actually be the difference between the military (1.7m) and the civilian (1.5m) version of the optic. If that's the case it might be an issue on our side, but no idea how accurate this is.

[timber edge]

Yeah, could be, who knows it might even be set up right for a 1.7 meter target it just says 1.5😉
I haven't messed with the range finders much, prefer zeroing by fire and estimating ranges

[elder ore]

The PSO works.

[timber edge]

It working was never in doubt

[timber edge]

and yeah that would certainly make sense, 1.5m does seem better for non military purposes. Thanks a ton Not Acooma. also if you ever see the actual Acooma tell 'em I miss 'em

[minor acorn]

No, fuck that guy

[terse cloak]

I said x times 100m so 2 times 100 is what?? And 10 times 100 is what?

[fresh mural]

yeah sorry did not slept yet my brain got confused XD

thx for the help of all of you tho i got it now XD

Is there any way to save a list of modes when hosting a server? It's a pain to have to load the mods one by one every time I host.

[kindred basalt]

is there anyway to export these files ?

[foggy ridge]

Nope. Not legally.

[kindred basalt]

copy that

[chrome flicker]

nah its to measure from feet to shoulders. not to the head. it gives an approximation for targets which are crouched over as well by measuring to the head

1.7 is for pso scope. and 1.5 is for the combat sight

[lapis patio]

Anyone know why when I use "focus" there's a delay before the zoom in?

[lucid tulip]

yeah there is reason why once laser rangefinders became small and light enough became mass issued to at least marksmen and squad leaders

😆 aint no one got time for that. + math make smoll brain hurt

[timber edge]

yeah, hence why 1.7 is better for us dum dums

[lament kite]

When I press TAB + Z to unequip a weapon, sometimes the character puts the weapon on the back. But sometimes it just hangs from the chest, like with a sling. It seems random, is there any logic to it? I want to always hang from the chest and not put it on the back

[timber edge]

The trick to always getting it on the chest is to swap to a grenade then unequip the grenade with TabZ

Because swapping to a grenade always slings your rifle on your front, so you just unequip the grenade and you're set

[lament kite]

You're the man!

is there anyway or mods that you can add flags to vehicles ?

[paper lily]

Any reason or knowledge on why the new Enfusion engine for Reforger cant seem to handle tracks and track vehicles?

[foggy ridge]

Just because you dont see them in game doesnt mean functionality isnt in the engine

[lofty sparrow]

Which war tapes mod is the original? Everon clashes one or?

cuz theres like 3 of them and idk which one is the normal one

[slow pagoda]

because such vehicle simulation type has not been added to the game

[paper lily]

So it's not an Engine limitation, just a missing feature?

[slow pagoda]

yes

and not planned feature for Reforger

[paper lily]

Thank you ❤️

[slow pagoda]

so focus is on the other things

[foggy ridge]

Wait, how do you know this is the case? The tracked movement component source code is not visible to modders, do you have engine source code?

[slow pagoda]

Interpolated from what developers have said previously

using logic

[foggy ridge]

Hm okok

[slow pagoda]

Next time I see the tracked movement component in Workbench I will remember that it is a lie and does not in fact exist

Modders can make believable tonks though if they want to

I think its incomplete or its functionality is not exposed to modders, but it is there, along with a bunch of other things

But steam workshop is independent from consoles. Wouldnt be any different if i made a arma mod and just created a download link for people and they manually install it

[half locust]

precisely

[stray blade]

A significant drawback with the built-in workshop is its size restriction. That's why I was looking forward to the Steam workshop release...

can i change the arma server im on?

idk if that makes sense

Yes, leave the game and go back to the server browser

[velvet solar]

also, how do i delete all the reforger mods that are downloaded

[winter zephyr]

The ping to the master server doesn't affect gameplay, and you cannot change it.

[still isle]

Does anyone have a server hosting guide for a private GM server with mods?

[ashen stag]

is the intention for conflict to become a multi-day game mode rather than one that could end in 1 hour, lasting up to 10 hours max?

[lapis patio]

I can't speak to that. But if 2 teams were equal, the game might go on indefinitely because Supply depots replenish and bases automatically regenerate supplies. Someone correct me if i'm wrong. You can't "mine a map out" like StarCraft. That leads to the question of how well the map is balanced. I'm guessing if there were 2 extremely good teams, the one that had the better initial spawn position would eventually win which is why in a game like Starcraft, most maps are pretty much symmetrical because even being a few tiles closer or further from a key objective can swing the game. Also leads to the question of how equal the teams are balanced. We probably won't know for a long time, when people start getting really good and competitive matches emerge if it ever comes to that.

[still fjord]

Hello, is anyone else having audio issues? Specifically spacial/directional audo?

There is a setting for speakers or headphones. Could be that.

[still fjord]

that was the first thing we tried lol. we're gonna chalk it up to "his headphones suck"

[vital kindle]

Well, looks like I can't recommend the game anymore. Built in browser's such a hassle to use compared to the steam workshop.

[flint nest]

I hope a Dev has the time to answer this, Will crew served weapons and Vehcile Mounted weapons gain the Ability to Inspect or Interact with them? This would make switching ammo a god send

Hello. Question. I setup a dedicated server. Our MOB is not being automatically resupplied. Is there a setting for this in gamemaster that I am overlooking or could it be a scenario script issue?

Anybody know if the "suddenly for no reason my gun will no longer do gun things" bug is fixed in the experimental build?

Sometimes manually removing the magazine and then reloading fixes it. Sometimes not. Sometimes dropping the weapon and picking it back up fixes it. Sometimes not. The last time going into my inventory seemed to fix it. 🤷🏻
So inconvenient when the gun won't gun because of reasons.

[glacial dust]

Tutorial is always free and waiting

I recommend playing the tutorials and going through the Field Manual first.
There are also good YouTube videos from the dev team that explain the game modes and other things.
Take your time, put in some effort to learn things, then come back with whatever specific questions you still have. You might not have any!

Wireless Bluetooth

[full grail]

That will be the issue. While for some reason console Bluetooth works, windows doesn’t allow it to work properly. Essentially bluetooth relies on two different audio codecs, one that focuses on mic quality and one that focuses on audio quality. Windows only allows one when using anything requiring an input (arma voip or Xbox party) in where it forces the mic quality codec, from what I read on W10 you can change it but since W11 that has been disabled.

The solution I found was plugging my mic in through a USBC and that worked with my wireless, if your friend can do that I would suggest that. Alternatively if he’s on W10 I would suggest he looks through his settings there should be an option to change it to audio quality though I am not entirely sure where. Hope this helps!

[austere nimbus]

Not entirely sure if this also applies to Reforger, but with Arma 3 it was not possible to have 3.1/4.1 surround enabled on headphones, and had to be set to Stereo to prevent audio issues.
This is usually a setting in the software of the headphones (not Windows itself).

Again, not sure if this also applies to Reforger as well, but worth the try.

Check gameplay settings. In FOV ADS multiplier

[spice gull]

I only have 'Aim down sights focus intensity' and 'Additional focus intensity for PIP', I have both at 0%
The only multiplier in Gameplay tab seems to be ADS sensitivity multiplier

You should really reconsider removing focus. It's pretty crucial for spotting enemies before they spot you

Try this one? https://i.imgur.com/1CviOEF.png

I do have a similar issue though. When I zoom in with a scope, it seems to affect my binoculars as well

Do you guys use manual DNS server assignment or do you use automatic? Is there a benefit/improvement for ping when using manual?

[grim dawn]

Google what a domain name server is and what it does. Then google what ping is. You will find two things, 1 they are unrelated, 2 you aren't using a domain name to connect to a server

If you read some cursory bits about DNS you will also find that your computer, possibly ISP, and your local DNS cache the results for a period of time

[eager sandal]

Do you use it? Manual I mean

[grim dawn]

Everyone with an operating system installed uses dns

[eager sandal]

I mean setting it manually.

[grim dawn]

Why do you want to set it manually? Why do you think it might effect ping?

[eager sandal]

Because internet says so... or at least rumors

[grim dawn]

I think you need to scroll wikipedia for a few hours

[still peak]

Because internet is exactly why he's asking you to research what DNS is...

[eager sandal]

So basically you're saying you just let it set to auto

[grim dawn]

I think you should do whatever the internet tells you

Until you understand what DNS, ping/latency, IP addresses, and caching are I don't think you should change any settings on anything

First they gotta get servers capable of a decent number of friendly AI.

[mossy egret]

When will the game receive Collective (Analogue) short keys so they can be used?

This server does na dit's causing me to get TK'd

Nah I was running with my brother and he said the same thing

Do I have to change me steam name?

[stray blade]

Yes. Ingame name is bound to steam name. Special chars are not supported

[slim rock]

I just figured that out. Thank you!

It's funky because when adding my steam account to it, it asked me to make a in game name lmao

I just figured for shits and giggles I would try switching my steam name.

I've looked for a definitive answer but can't find it:

Does the heavy vehicle depot speed up passive supply generation at a base in conflict?

[magic pebble]

no

[fossil condor]

So when do we get more server side tools and options

[foggy ridge]

When I release admin tools 2 and ps5 gets mods

[fossil condor]

Not talking about mods

vanilla servers are a thing

Oh, never

Jk I am not sure because its not on roadmap, but devs could still have some fun ideas

Reforger questions? If the game is doing well why can't we get more developers and content for it? I mean there are 8 different faces in this game..

[half locust]

nope

[still peak]

Do we need more than 8 faces in a war game?

[spice gull]

huh never even realized there's different faces, i just focus on the uniform and shoot if not friendly

[terse cloak]

americans are the only ones who have a black soldier.

[spice gull]

low key makes sense

[elder ore]

Really? Its kind of ridiculous for a game these days to have 8 different faces. All the previous ones had a bunch. It bothers me to see the same faces over and over again. The old one, the black guy, the Asian, the redneck, the farmer, the drunk, the baby face and the hero.

Wait.. I think there's 9. I forgot the other guy.

[spice gull]

I never thought of Arma as a face game

[still peak]

It's ridiculous to me that someone would be so bothered by only having 8 faces in a war sim game. This isn't second life.

[elder ore]

Video games have characters, characters have faces. We used to be able to chose one for our character too.

[terse cloak]

How to know that the russian is not friendly.

[ionic spindle]

You were able to set a character in A3, I hope that will be the case for A4 again. Also missing the unit patches you could upload in A3…

[spice gull]

I mean I'm not agaist more faces, I just don't see Arma as a game where individualism is a priority

[elder ore]

Its not about individualism. Its about seeing the same faces all the time. If I put down a platoon a lot of the guys look the same. Its terrible.

[ionic spindle]

For me it’s as simple as, I had a feature in a previous game that’s now gone and I miss it.

[elder ore]

Oh for sure. I miss all the different faces.

[spice gull]

ye ye I hear you, it's just something I haven't noticed as I don't pay attention to the faces, like at all

I'm not arguing against it

[elder ore]

I know its harder now because the heads are modeled, and before it was just a different face texture but I miss diversity. Moustaches, beards, etc.

[spice gull]

I'd guess BIS has more pressing issues on hand with Reforger, not to mention the shift in development manpower towards Arma4, mayhaps we'll see a proper character creator in A4

[still peak]

I mean if I put down a platoon of guys I expect them to all look the same. They all went through training and lost individualism. They are a soldier.

[lucid tulip]

wonder if one of the additional vehicles that is considered for post roadmap content ( as per ama) is the CUCV https://www.khakicorpsimports.com/vehicles/cucv-1.jpg

You are arguing for the sake of arguing? Yes in real life everyone looks like 1 out of 9.

I'm being completely serious

Where's my ithaca stakeout (ithaca 37) in reforger (fireball spell)

[onyx marlin]

I noticed that Arma Reforger has different types of squads like Infantry, Anti Tank, Mortar, Medical and all that. Does anyone knows how i can change the type of my squad to one of those so its not marked as infantry?

[young spoke]

If you're referring to when you make a squad, you can actually just edit your group and click on the infantry marker. It'll open up a whole menu to choose what you want. For instance since I usually run logistics/mechanic I use the wrench marker.

[onyx marlin]

Ah okay, i'll try that out because i am unsure if i can like get to that logo on controller. But thanks for your help.

[still peak]

Random reddit post says you can navigate to the icon on controller as long as there's more than one person in the squad (so bugged in solo squads).

[onyx marlin]

Yeah, i also just found out about that. Tried it out and i can't change my own squad icon unless someone else joins. Sad but okay.

[still peak]

Also when picking the icon you want note that the field guide has the definitions.
Field Manual > Gameplay > Navigation > Military Symbology

[onyx marlin]

Oh yeah, i already looked trough that. Thats how i noticed it.

I just quickly put my mouse into my PS so i can change the squad icon.

[proper moat]

I got a question and it is before I buy and download the game is it worth it

[leaden hound]

100%, I downloaded it today aswell as my friend, we played it until the end of the day, we made some friends and actually sang a song in the back of a truck with a bunch of random people.

[proper moat]

Sounds fun and thanks I just needed to know before I spent money on it

[leaden hound]

No worries, but I’m not going to lie, I did have troubles joining servers on high ping.

[kindred basalt]

from which file i can override these settings ?

[odd ridge]

is there some new thing admins do where if you join a server with teams being imbalanced, they kick you if join the bigger team?

note: this was my first time joining the bigger team when there was a team imbalance(stated this because of the possibility some people like to fixate on things like that)

[pulsar hamlet]

is there a custom launcher for reforger? their vanilla one is garbage

[winter zephyr]

To clarify, which vanilla launcher do you refer to?

[tepid torrent]

vanilla launcher? it doesn't have one

although having a launcher where you can change settings and download mods would be cool

[pulsar hamlet]

like the dayz SA launcher or A3 launcher

Anyone know if there's plans to make incapacitaion longer? Generally people either wake up or die pretty fast, and it doesn't give much time for a medic to do anything (the best medic isn't a medic, but just someone to shoot the threat within the 15 seconds the person is down until they wake up and heal themself). Just been running for Battlefield Angel recently and it's very annoying.

I have a question, we were having an issue where when entering a combat zone, we would drop our backpacks on the floor for more manoeuvrability, but when we returned all the items dissapeared. Is this normal and is there a way to disable items from being deleted?

[timber edge]

yes that is normal, I am not aware of a way to disable it but id love to find out as thats a big issue for me too

[sand verge]

Would one of the persistence mods cover that?

[timber edge]

im not sure, havent tried them, may wanna experiment

[exotic marsh]

Automatic/GM entity clear is the root cause. No idea how to disable it

Probably a mod/server setting for it but I wouldn't know where to look

[sand verge]

usually its garbage collector that does it, its a common mod, but you might want to try something that extends that timer further

[west jasper]

Anybody got an estimated ETA on the servers going back up?

[brittle agate]

not possible

[west jasper]

Damn

[lapis patio]

it's not planned. It's a massive DDOS attack because BI is surrounded by hataz

[west jasper]

Yeh ik about the DDOS

[cedar pier]

Probably a few hours earliest

[lapis patio]

I'd imagine BI doesn't want to give in to the ransomers because that will just incentivize them to keep doing it. They're probably working on a long term solution which will take time.

So they probably have some short term measures in place which will allow for intermittent stability over the next week, then they'll likely implement a fix that should largely mitigate the problem. At least that's how i've seen it play out in other games that have been DDOS'd like this.

[celest drum]

i have questions about it just affected the players pc or no?

[lapis patio]

I doubt it, they're largely targeting the backend services which I imagine affects console players as well. But I don't know

[brittle agate]

all

[rustic crescent]

Why are the servers being ddos

[celest drum]

you sure they affected pc

[brittle agate]

all.

[celest drum]

what you mean all?

[lapis patio]

Basically a group of "hackers" either highjacked computers to DDOS or are paying for a DDOS service in order to try to get BI to pay them to stop.

[celest drum]

it only doing for arma reforger users?

[rustic crescent]

Low t energy

[brittle agate]

all players affected

[mild island]

high e energy

[celest drum]

just only for arma refogers players?

[lapis patio]

I know DayZ has been affected to some extent. But I think the attack is targeting Reforger in particular

[celest drum]

yea since some other players play arma 3 with no problem

[lapis patio]

I don't think Arma 3 uses the type of backend services that DayZ and Reforger do but I could be wrong

[brittle agate]

Arma Reforger, DayZ official servers, Vigor, Ylands.
Not Arma 3, Arma 3 uses Steam

[lapis patio]

Games that have persistence and require more backend services?

[celest drum]

soo that mean i not affected because i not have the game

?

[brittle agate]

I don't get what you're asking

If you can play, you're not affected

what do you mean by "affected"

[celest drum]

i mean arma refoger

[celest drum]

affected by the ddos attacks

[lapis patio]

you said you don't have the game? in which case why are you here

[brittle agate]

^ yeah I don't get this conversation

[mild island]

you guys should make a note that to fix reforger backend issues (the ones unrelated to the ddos obviously) that using -forceupdate on launch options fixes backend issues

this is for steam

[lapis patio]

@celest drum "affected" in this case means you are "affected" because you cannot join a server. It doesn't mean you're "infected" with a virus or something,

[mild island]

@rustic ruin nah it fixed my game but obviously doesnt help against ddos

because my game kept disconnecting in the main screen and server screen before i did this and now it works flawlessly

[celest drum]

sooo is game back up

[mild island]

no

the game is not working because of a ddos attack

[celest drum]

yea but you not infected?

[mild island]

yes i am effected

i am talking about an issue i suffered with for months but is unrelated to the current issue everyone is facing

[celest drum]

sooo you infected yes or no?

[mild island]

everyone is affected

[lapis patio]

no offense, is english your first language? you don't seem to be understanding the conversation

[languid lodge]

People are not infected by having reforger installed, this is outside the game, they are affected (hit) by the fact that nobody can play multiplayer at the moment due to the multiplayer services being offline .

[lapis patio]

@celest drum Você não está infectado por um vírus. Você é afetado pelo ataque DDOS porque não consegue ingressar em um servidor.

[celest drum]

oh ok then

[still peak]

The servers are not turned off. They are simply under attack. If a series of castles are under constant attack, that doesn't necessarily mean you can never show up to the right one at a calm time and manage to get them to lower the drawbridge to let you in.

Cause the kind of attack is Denial of Service attack. They don't necessarily have any "actual vulnerabilities" that allow them to do anything authoritative on the servers (like shutting them down), they are just spamming the ever living shit out of them in a complicated and specialized way until they freeze up and restart over and over.

Of course, it would be hard for a single machine to have any effect on the servers, hence why it's a DDoS, or a Distributed DoS attack from multiple (many) machines. And this is just based off of what we know publicly rn.

How is it only that reforger is effected but not arma 3? Does a3 use steam's backend for serverlists?

[half locust]

yes

[ashen stag]

Part of me wishes they'd use steam's backend for reforger gameservers simultaneously (which means that there's a PC only backup option for PC users)

[quiet lily]

All of me wishes this 😬

[ashen stag]

they had steam workshop support actually written onto their website as coming later but they recently removed it

I think this whole fiasco will get them to reconsider it if anything

you can't argue with what works, there were 18,000 people playing reforger despite these issues and with the DDOS now it's down the less than 1/3 that.
I was there for day 0 reforger where the disconnects were constant. Numbers back then were similar to today; but many MANY people left for a long time

[proper moat]

Question how do u turn up your mouse sensitivity for helicopters

[quiet lily]

I sincerely hope so, but I cant see it happening now - Theyve hitched their wagon, somewhat understandbly, to cross-platform support. And I get it, from a business point of view, why not open the revenue streams threefold.

But, at the cost of the classic PC experience weve come to know and love - I cant see any longevity in the console community 10 years post release like we still have with A3

[ashen stag]

yeah, the extent of modded reforger right now is stripping conflict of core mechanics in favor of gimmicky modern kit.

[quiet lily]

That was always going to happen though in fairness, even if they released Reforger and it was exactly the same as Arma 3 in terms of mod distribution & gameplay but on an updated engine - The very first mods you would see would be some form of Crye Multicam 😂

My concern is more how inaccessible everything has become for PC players in favor making it more accessible for console players - The prime example, or at least the most pertinent one this week, is having the multiplayer infrastructure taken off Steam - and it seems the price were paying for it is pretty gaping security issues 😦

[celest granite]

People don't like limitation (eg. Not being able to see at night or not being able have a Swiss army knife of a weapon)
Even though limitations are what makes the game fun

[ashen stag]

I think BI really dropped the ball with regards to not making capture and hold stick around esp for the ps5 launch

[young spoke]

I think it was mainly cause the servers running were mainly sticking to conflict. So the initial push died lol

[odd ridge]

is this the current state of connecting to servers: hope your server status is good long enough to join a server or its all borked?

[snow blaze]

sorry we don't want to spend thousands on pc parts

[still peak]

Sometimes you just need to set up some perimeter lights, bunker down, and watch over a base for the night. But people can't accept that. There must be action, always.

[fossil condor]

Is there any discord bot for reforger for the ps5?

I only found an add on on the pc workshop but it doesn't help out the new ps5 community. I would like to see players list and some server managing options on my discord community.

Anyone has some ideas? 🙏🏻

[chilly briar]

Ddos group, they are asking for 0.8 bitcoin to stop lol

[white narwhal]

I have a question about reforger. I played for a bit yesterday, everything was still fine and since yesterday evening I can no longer connect to the server because of a connection error. Does anyone know that Arma's servers are down or why?

^^

[chrome sphinx]

Look above you

[white narwhal]

YES, I've already looked into it and it looks like I'm not the only one. Thanks
I thought what have I done again?

[lapis patio]

From what i've seen yes

In the end it will just make Bohemia's network more secure. I'm sure they're working on a solution dilligently. And they won't get paid out so they will lose money DDOSing

Unless they've highjacked computers that they're using to DDOS or something like that

It's incredibly difficult to make and run a game like Arma Reforger or DayZ, but unfortunately quite easy to disrupt it for others. Yeah I wish these guys would do something that is to the benefit of the world rather than being parasites.

ive seen it in another game I play, Ultima Online Outlands. They fixed their network and while they're constantly getting DDOS'd, as a player you don't notice.

[inland crescent]

We need Liam Nielson to go find this DDOSing Muppet and... well, the reference is implied.

[vestal sluice]

Hey, I changed my fire button on PC (KB&M) to "Right Shift" for flying a heli and shooting, but it didn’t work. Then, I tried binding it to the "." on the numpad, which also didn’t work. However, the next day, the "." started working. I deleted the command to see what would happen, and it immediately stop the command working. But when I reapplied the "." as the fire button, it stopped working again. I did a full game restart, but it still didn’t work. I checked the settings, and the commands are still listed, including Right Shift. Am I doing something wrong or it's it something that needs work?

[urban moss]

i believe custom heli binds broke for some people in the 1.2 update, had to fix mine by deleting the entire keybinds file: #reforger_troubleshooting message

bacon also made a keybinds resetter mod #reforger_troubleshooting message , though you might not be able to install it if the backend is down

[vestal sluice]

Cheer mate

[urban moss]

do keep a backup of that file just in case it doesn't let you rebind it properly, cause all other binds will disappear as well

Happy New Year, everyone!
I’m having a great time playing Arma Reforger.
I’ve written this post because I have two questions.

1. When will the 2024 roadmap on the official Arma Reforger website be updated to the 2025 roadmap?

2. I know that Arma Reforger version 1.3 is currently being tested on the dev server. When can we expect the update to version 1.3?

[floral fractal]

1. Uknown there is technically only a few things left on that list.

2. Aim is for Feb, uknown when in feb.

[mystic monolith]

Is the soviet 6B3 vest worth it?

[tepid torrent]

yes, most definitely, better ballistic protection and carries ammo

[mystic monolith]

Awesome thanks

[lucid tulip]

only significant disadvantage of the 6b3 is you cant wear a load bearing harness or chest rig over it like with 6b2. 6b3 has some integrated pouches but they dont allow you to carry as much as the default rifleman gets with the chestrig. So you need to rely much more on backpack to carry your stuff

[terse cloak]

Thats not a thing, there is no annual roadmap for reforger, there wont be a new one and this has been the roadmap for over 2 years. You can also test the 1.3 version on exp if ur on pc 😄

For late game, yes. For early game, no.

[mighty anvil]

Are there any plans to export any of the ARMA 3 maps into reforger (not as mods because I know that’s against the EULA). I remember when reforger was first teased it was mentioned that Tanoa was imported in to test.
I think it would make a really good comparison to export tanoa and altis into reforger to show off just how good all of the graphical and lighting improvements are, and maybe even fix up tanoa to be able to be fully explorable with interiors/ altis with furniture

[austere nimbus]

Simply exporting/importing isn't possible since the game engines are completely different, so the only way to have Arma 3 (and older) terrains in Reforger/Arma 4 is to rebuild it from scratch. Similar to what BI did with Everon and Kolgujev (originally terrains in Arma: Cold War Assault).

[lyric kraken]

Thank you for your kind response. I asked about the roadmap because I saw that the 2024 roadmap has been published on Bohemia's official website, and I was curious to know if the 2025 roadmap will be released in the future.

[austere nimbus]

Original plan was to have all features released in 2024, but due to technical reasons this didn't work out.
So the same roadmap remains, even though things can still change (more or less things added).

[terse cloak]

I actually get why ppl mention a 2024 roadmap and 2025 roadmap, its cuz on the roadmap it says last updated on x.x.2024.

[keen yoke]
