[winter zephyr]

Also check your firewall and that you aren't double NAT'd.

[golden creek]

With admins never getting off of discord and getting rid of racism in arma. What is the official game doing? Will there be an official modded server for normal people? Most notably this is a problem on old guys servers. Maybe being around so long has burned them out?

[slow pagoda]

old guys is not official server?

and its just not realistic someone can be monitoring servers 24/7

that said, racism is not condoned in any form, but it is hard to get rid of. People can be the worst especially online.

[ancient rapids]

I'm guessing there's nothing you can do about it on private (non official) servers? Or should I somehow report this guy I found being blatantly racist about who is allowed to play on his server?

[terse cloak]

what about the servers that have permission to make money on their server?

[slow pagoda]

?

[terse cloak]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/server-monetization

"If we determine that any server is exploiting loopholes or not acting in the best interests of the Arma Reforger community, we reserve the right to remove them from the list."

[slow pagoda]

I dont understand the question

[terse cloak]

what if there is racism and the server allows it and is also a server that is allowed to be monitized

Will bi do anything about that?

[slow pagoda]

report to the monetization email with proof that it is allowed

[terse cloak]

thx

[sharp girder]

Idk, how can I do that though?

[sharp girder]

Already checked the firewall, not the double NAT though

[limpid plinth]

Is it possible to make the voice come from the character’s position instead of the Zeus perspective?

[icy pike]

Hey how do i report a mod that is broken snd causing other mods to corrupt?

[chrome flicker]

you dont... no one is forced to fix their mods or make it work with others

[sand verge]

No mods will download for me, if i try to download it just gives me an error and lists all the mods I tried to download with (error 0) on it. fuckahh game

I went into launch options and set it to -addonDownloadDir "C:\Users\super\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons" -addonsDir "C:\Users\super\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons" so that hopefully it routes to the rigth folder, but still nothing

[icy pike]

I didn't mean report to get it removed but to see if the modder could help me lol

[rain thicket]

Anyone else having issues downloading mods on ps5 currently? I can’t download Zimnitrota for some reason, I have enough space etc

[sand verge]

sorry bro, the mods just suck dih on this fuckahh game and noone knows how to fix it🤷‍♂️

[rustic surge]

^ Asking this again

[crystal idol]

playing on vanilla official, can't deploy radio backpack as ussr recon squad lead - any reason why?

[terse cloak]

They removed radio deploying in hqc

[crystal idol]

are the omega campaign missions multiplayer-able?

[terse cloak]

no

[eternal sundial]

Does anyone know how to fix the bug where you just do anything other then go into ur inventory. I cant do any interactions what so ever besides drop and go into my inventory. No idea what causes it but ive only been able to fix it by respawning.

[eternal sundial]

scratch that respawn didn't fix it

[calm willow]

Whats fmj?

Ammo

[terse cloak]

full metal jacket

[calm willow]

Is armor pricing better or fmj

[terse cloak]

armor piercing

[calm willow]

Ok

[junior wasp]

Are vehicle wrecks also cleaned up by the rubbish collecton system? If there are alot of abandoned vehicles nearby, I like to find a good spot to bunch them all up to block off a route and destroy them to create a roadblock, it doesn't seem like wrecks are removed from what I've seen?

[prime quest]

They do despawn but it takes a while.

Objects will be deleted faster in areas where there are no players so if you do it on a relatively busy road they should last a while.

[copper hawk]

Is there a missionheader to make AI more difficult? The default AI are a bit non-threatening; Used to playing a3 on veteran

[vivid mantle]

You have to use mods

[eager sandal]

How can you camera lock on somone/something in GM? I remember there used to be an option in context menu (right click on the character).

[copper hawk]

arma devs not remove functionality from their series (impossible)

[terse cloak]

except AR isnt really a full arma

[copper hawk]

yeah true it's just a £35 product with millions of players

[terse cloak]

so?

[terse cloak]

sure bro...

[chrome sphinx]

Explain how those numbers make the game a fully fledged arma title?

[copper hawk]

reforger has probably made money on par with arma 3 at this point and has had nowhere near the content despite being out for several years; yet chimps like you and the other one keep defending bohemia for releasing an UNFINISHED product that didn't even live up to it's roadmap because the CEO redacted it when they were like a YEAR behind schedule

And every time I seem to ask how you achieve functionality on par with a game that came out 10 years ago, the answer is always "oh you have to mod it in"

It doen't need to be arma 4 to have basic customisation without having to script my own mod to add a difficulty slider

"full" arma or not; there are constantly missing features that regardless of being a4 or not, should be in the game

[chrome sphinx]

But why do you expect AR to have the same content variety as Arma 3 even though it was clearly stated that AR is not meant to be a fully fledged title. Let's also not forget that Arma 3 has been in development for over 10 years.

I don't see how sold copies requires the game to have the same content quantity as Arma 3. I mean BI has no contol whether or not people buy the game lol

Also it's only one thing missing from the roadmap now but I do agree, took bit to long.

[copper hawk]

I'm not asking for the same content variety! I'm asking for the same FUNCTIONALITY

[chrome sphinx]

varierty is maybe the wrong word but quantity maybe? Since you only mentioned "nowhere near the content"

[copper hawk]

I don't care about content, I care about having basic interfaces to edit things without needing to use the goddamn workbench

It's extremely inaccessible unless you have a compsci degree or 600 hours to watch the tutorials

[chrome sphinx]

Would obviously be cool to have something like the eden editor but honestly that's also something that I could consider to be something which is only available to fully fledged arma titles.

[copper hawk]

Yeah I get that, and know it's not coming but like cmon man why is the game SO barebones

[chrome sphinx]

Same goes for other stuff like idk planes

[copper hawk]

Planes they said from the start weren't coming

[chrome sphinx]

Yeah I'm aware of that

[copper hawk]

I can only assume the scale of A4 is going to be huge, but man the interim game is just unfun to work with

[chrome sphinx]

Not sure if that's the same for the Eden Editor, other than some comments on reddit by developers.

[copper hawk]

if 4 releases and it's just workbench I might go postal

Even the mission editor from arma 2 is more functional

[chrome sphinx]

A4 will probably be awesome. I do like Reforger and thinking that A4 is Reforger just with more content/systems is enough for me lol

[junior wasp]

Idk how some people that comes from Arma 2, even Arma 3 can not see how insane Reforger is, yes it’s limited in scope but are you seeing the leap in immersion, graphics, audio, smooth movement and physics?

I just get more and more excited for A4 with the few new features and systems they introduce in AR.

The terrain aswell, A2, A3 if you look it’s pretty flat somewhat simple terrain compared to AR, ai issues from before are obviously going to be that much more complicated when handling more realistic terrain.

[analog scarab]

Question if someone can answer,

A. How does one be able to host a server, I've heard you can locally host for free but idk if that rumor is free

B. If it isn't free what's a good and cheap provider for a server?

[slow pagoda]

needs PC to host but you can

not very big server though

but few friends typically works

[analog scarab]

I have a buddy who has a PC

Any notes and info I can give him on how to do it, he's new to the game but I'm sure he can figure it out lol

[hexed flicker]

can this channel answer questions about specific mods?

[cyan musk]

Anybody know how to fix this?

[analog scarab]

So I also have a community's based question

Within Milsim groups i see alot of PvE elements and all that my question is for those who do PvP

Within the operation / game that you do, what exactly are you doing in game? Are you playing a normalish match with all the logistics and actual points just with a bunch of mods

Or are you playing directly to a specific style operation with directed and built stuff made by a Game Master

Or even something complete different, Milsim groups please answer!

[grim iris]

It would vary for each group/community I suppose. I have run TvT PvP Operations that run as conflict or GM with certain objectives/Task, along with PvP One life OPS and free for all.

[hoary nacelle]

I think that is going to be quite limited. Making them smarter is what I would want to see. Being more difficult would automatically happen as a result. I think right now you can make them more accurate, see you earlier (short distance), start engaging at shorter distances, and change how long they stay on alert, etc..

Needs a lot of work since right now you can attack a base, be actively engaging some troops, and one or two walk right though like they are on casual patrol.

[analog scarab]

I was gonna say, taking a peak in the comminity servers i was confused by people recruiting for their units as well as communities all together

I wasn't sure if there was one full unified milsim community server that I could find or not

[cinder iron]

Is it a smart or workable idea to move and link the game cache folder to a different drive than my main?

[grim iris]

No, there are heaps of communities. Some run operations together, others just for their own groups.

[analog scarab]

guess i'll have to find the milsim op hib then lol

[sand verge]

Merry Christmas mate

[copper hawk]

I feel like you have no idea how the AI works based upon what you just said

In arma 3, the AI is made up of about 15 variables that determine how effective they are; which can be changed at will, per unit/group/side.

There MUST be something similar in reforger, surely

[copper hawk]

I don't think there are many milsim PVP teams, they're more like clans at that point

[lapis ridge]

crx AI mod

[copper hawk]

already using that, doesn't do what I'm askin

[golden creek]

Then you'll have to wait for reforger to get more depth but honestly more than likely you are waiting for a4

[analog scarab]

I've been looking and I've seen a couple of them, I just didn't know how they'd fight each other if it was like the base game or a however long specified operation again one another

[copper hawk]

I'd assume they just do conflict surely

[copper hawk]

Yeah I assumed as much but man it's frustrating

I'm hoping after the final(?) reforger update that finishes final strike we'll probably get more info about 4

and pray that it isn't watered down to prioritise consoles

[ashen stag]

is there a plan to go through and simplify the collision models for things such as sandbags so that way putting MGs on top of sandbags doesn't cause the slope warnings?

Seems like whoever did the collision for commonly collided-with objects decided to use convex colliders instead of using the simplest possible shape, for instance iwth sandbags, i 12 tri rectangle encompassing the sandbag itself would have been the better solution and it would have prevented these issues where you have to fight with dropping and picking up a tripod to build a custom gun nest

I also haven't personally measured the impact, but i would imagine the physics calculation for player collision against a perfectly flat 12 tri surface is less intensive than a surface with xTimes that amount of tris lol

[copper hawk]

optimisation? in a bohemia game?

[hoary nacelle]

I have a feeling you have no idea what I said because I stated in shorter form that there are variables you can change and listed SOME of them followed by etc (meaning more than mentioned). IMO none of it seems like AI but rather programmed actions / reactions at different levels.

[copper hawk]

what

Point me to where you can edit those AI variables

[hoary nacelle]

That is typically followed by a ... ? otherwise its a statment.

[copper hawk]

are you here to be a grammar police redditor or to give actual information

[hoary nacelle]

Someone has already mentioned a mod that does this. If that mod does not fit your expectations then there is not much else that can be done that I know of.

[copper hawk]

Right yeah CRX doesn't make them more difficult imho, it adds more depth but the AI are genuinely just not great to fight

I know some stuff can be edited because Kex who made COE managed to add a system that allows the AI to be made "harder"; Might have to ask them

[ancient rapids]

The whole point of CRX is to provide the ability to adjust the settings for the AI. You should check out the various settings in the CRX GM tab.

[copper hawk]

I have seen the CRX stuff, it doesnt have like "aim ability" or anything though iirc

It has like, response range to gunfire, stuff like that but does it just have a "accuracy" modifier? Feels like i'm fighting stormtroopers

[lapis ridge]

search for something that talks about aim modifers, set it to -3

[ancient rapids]

"Global Aim Accuracy Error Modifier" I believe is what youre looking for.

[copper hawk]

I thought that was a per-AI thing

[ancient rapids]

It can be

[copper hawk]

Oh but it has a global variable?

[ancient rapids]

or it can be global as well

[copper hawk]

This is interesting I'll have to mess with that then thanks chap

[ancient rapids]

no problem sport!

[worldly flame]

is the accuracy of AI shooting affected by an optic on their gun gun AK ?

SCR_AICombatComponent.m_eAISkill

[umbral beacon]

why is the wind drift so ass?

[worldly flame]

this MSAR thing... i fill up an Arsenal truck drive to enemy base, fire 1 RPG then I can't get anymore out of the truck with 400 supplies because my MSAR is exceeded...

but taking things from the ammo pack doens't count towards MSAR

[tepid torrent]

Ass how?

[umbral beacon]

I fire a RPG, it flies straight out of the barrel, then shifts its position and bearing a meter or two to the side and continues along a straight path

I'd expect the wind to affect projectiles more gradually

[lapis ridge]

using pg- rockets is gambling in reforger. LATs have smooth sails

[tepid torrent]

Yes this is the delay between initial charge and rocket burn, pros being longer range, cons being accuracy during flight

[umbral beacon]

I see

[rigid marlin]

hello im new to arma reforger, but the game doesnt want to open properly, js wondering where i should go to ask for help

[worn sapphire]

try right clicking on arma on steam, proporties, installed files then click on verify integrity of game files

[digital cargo]

is the AK74 in reforger using Oak or Birch wood?

[rigid marlin]

Did that and it didnt help

[terse cloak]

you are launching arma reforger and not the arma reforger server?

[rigid marlin]

Uh yeah? Is that a problem?

[terse cloak]

launching arma reforger? no.

[rigid marlin]

So lauching the actual game is alright, and i've checked the integrity of the files yet the game still crashes on launch. Are there any other fixes?

[chrome flicker]

what do you mean launching the game is alright yet it crashes on launch? in your words what does launch mean.

[slow pagoda]

does it say why it crashes?

[rigid marlin]

well i click the button on steam and i get like the first 5 seconds of a loading screen and then it crashes

[rigid marlin]

yeah it comes up with a crash report

i took a screenshot i'll find it

[rigid marlin]

this is what it says:

Funny error log

[foggy ridge]

Yeah I still wasnt told how to fix that one

[lean copper]

A community that is flaming and sending in my community toxic players just to ruin the gameplay, offend my members and destroy the server is something against the TOS?

[ancient rapids]

Unsure if related, but you should totally get rid of OneDrive.

[digital cargo]

Unfortunately Bohemia support only limited to Official servers, public servers can manage on their own.

[digital cargo]

turn off OneDrive for the specific folder, as having it on can cause unexpected issue to the game saving

set it to 'keep on this device', example on how to can be found in #arma3_troubleshooting pinned message

[rigid marlin]

alright thank you!!

[rigid marlin]

so uh... i tried using the pinned message but it doesnt give me the option to keep the folder on my device. is there anything else that can be done?

[slow pagoda]

you can also turn it fully off if you dont use it

[rigid marlin]

yeah i did

[bleak crow]

So is there a new mod pack I need installed for official servers? None of the official servers are showing up similar to when they had Vul patch 1

[winter zephyr]

Have we heard anything about the Kulguyev soundtrack getting added to the released soundtrack?

[late coral]

Anyone know how to fix a error saying UNKNOWN (error 1) The following mods could not be downloaded

[willow sierra]

How do you change your fire key for helicopters? I'm changing the fire button under the weapons menu but that doesn't work

[tough abyss]

Check turret section

[willow sierra]

Figured it out. Was a option within the WCS tab as the heli was modded. Thank you for the help though.

[analog scarab]

Hey I'm trying to play the campaign, I'm on Xbox, and Literally after all of the cut scenes and where I can actually get gameplay, I Literally can't move, and I'm stuck in the starter position

Like it's not receiving a single input besides my pause button

[brazen crater]

what priority numbas means on logi screen?
biger - importanter or smoler - imptanter?.

[brazen crater]

Why steam achievments not adancing?
Car refund, relay , medical help, saline, firefighter. was playing on official HQ conflict|
nothing is advancing

[obtuse frigate]

if i am going to use a custom loadout, should i sidegrade to the m16 with UGL? or do i keep the default m16

[lapis ridge]

m16 GL is jack of all trades gun. if you dont use the 40mm just dont buy it. If you want better tap shots then take the m21 with or without the scope

[obtuse frigate]

im just mostly worried about loadout cost since i have no clue what makes my loadout go from the default 10 up to like 60 something when i just add a few bandages, a saline bag, and a red dot

[terse cloak]

Because in conflict legacy, the default kit is 20 (10 if the base has a living quarters), but this is a discounted price and the actual price is about 50-60.

[obtuse frigate]

so then if i am going to have a custom loadout anyways i should probably consider each gun equally

because i assume the default gun is at a discounted price

[terse cloak]

Nah, save kit with no changes and it goes to 60. But dont play conflict legacy, go learn hqc conflict. Its better

[fleet turret]

what’s the mod that gives you GPNVG-18s?

[obtuse frigate]

how do i know if the server im on is running conflict legacy or hqc conflict

and uh whats the difference

ok im looking into hqc which i assume is the one with the commander. apparently people hate that one

[proven gazelle]

im part of the influx of new players, where the hell do i start

[obtuse frigate]

do the in game tutorial

as another new player it's very good

[proven gazelle]

should've added i've already completed it

i meant more in terms of multiplayer

[obtuse frigate]

that one's hard to say, what in particular are you looking for

though i may not have a satisfactory answer considering depending on what you need i may also need that answer haha

[proven gazelle]

im not too sure, honestly. i did get reforger because all the clips ive seen are dope as shit, and at the same time I got no clue about the context around said clips. idk if i'd like conflict or game master, though i will say i have nearly 2000 hours in arma three, and up til october that time was basically entirely in the editor and zeus

but my arma 3 multiplayer experience is entirely composed of unit operations, so I've never even once hopped in a public server

[obtuse frigate]

ah yeah thats fair. i don't know much about the pve only milsim side of reforger, so i think that's probably left to uh

i feel that though, i come from a mix of having played A3 in milsim units and squad with buddies

[proven gazelle]

yeah I'd join a unit but I fear there aren't any in my timezone that would fit in with the ones Im already in, and i dont think I could handle another one lol, but ill check these out ig

[obtuse frigate]

thats fair! no need to rush into it, and you can always just play casually. could see if people in your existing unit have reforger too

[tidal hound]

just refund, Sony throttles and limits your mods for "drive health and system lifespan"

Microsoft and Sony just want to make your experience as miserable as possible as a psyop against modding on consoles

You don't pay for mods and give them profit through their appstores so the entire idea disgusts them greatly

[cosmic mantle]

how would i go about making a mod that makes the AH-6 little birds miniguns fire the 20mm rounds from the AH-1 cobra?

[terse cloak]

If it says hqc conflict in the scenario. Check exd out, i think it has hqc conflict. Also most of the players for this game are like robots, they dont adapt to change and want to be barbies (have as much loot as possible). Its a better gamemode

[tiny plover]

hello modded vehicles arnt showing up in the vehicle spawing menu in the vehicle maitanace point/ both the medium and heavy are not showing all vehicles? is there some thing i can do to make them naturaly spawnable instead of haveing to game master it all the time? they show up in game master just not the vehicle point?

[grim iris]

It depends on how the mod was setup and what faction they have been added to. For example, the mod dev would have needed to add the vehicle the US Campaign faction to be used with Conflict or US Faction to be used with Game Master.

So try in both game modes and see what one works. Alternatively, you can create a mod that adds the vehicles to the faction you are wanting to use. There are videos that show how.

[wise kettle]

Hello my game keeps crashing, I have not a clue why; could someone hop into a discord call with me when ever you can just ping me and say you can say what VC you are in. Please and thank you for you time.

[grim iris]

Best bet is to provide a little more information. Are you on Console or PC. When does it crash on boot on when playing on a modded/vanilla server? etc

[wise kettle]

Sorry you are 100% Correct I should have had done that my apologize. I am on PC, I load into any server vanilla or modded and I am so close to getting in an at the very end it just freezes and crashes but no matter how many people are in it even a server with 0 still crashes.

[grim iris]

Does it crash when you play locally?

[wise kettle]

Sorry, huh?

[grim iris]

Can you play locally without it crashing. At the main menu, go to Scenarios and maybe try Combat OPS or at the main menu and go to Campaign and see if the game still crashes.

[wise kettle]

Ok, i am going to do that now! Let me boot the game back up.

[wise kettle]

Could we get into a call so I can share my screen and show you?

https://discord.gg/TSBbkN3Z

[wise kettle]

I mean I load into Combat OPS but when but it then just crashes after a bit.

[slow pagoda]

that could mean either your game install is corrupted (try verify install)
or your hardware might not be powerful enough to run the game
or your drivers are not up to date and cant handle the game for some reason

[wise kettle]

I verified and updated drivers and I use to play Amra but after their update I am unable to play always crashes.

[grim iris]

Sorry, I am busy at the moment..

[grim iris]

Wht GPU do you run?

[wise kettle]

Let me check.

AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics aka integrated graphics.

[grim iris]

Do you know which AMD GPU? I didn't think integrated graphics cards could run Arma.

[fleet turret]

what button on controller takes of attachments and puts them on?

[slow pagoda]

integrated graphics is not good enough to run the game

you would need a proper gpu

[mossy stratus]

How does the game work I just got it and it’s confusing

[fleet turret]

what’s the best way to rank up quickly for a helicopter?

[wise kettle]

Ok thank you!

[wise kettle]

The other guy says it won't.

[wise kettle]

Just play the game there is no faster way sadly.

[winter zephyr]

Stick with your group, drive them around, complete your assigned tasks, get kills, heal your friends, return intel, etc.

Or you can ask your commander to spawn helicopters for you.

If you deliver supplies, still stick with your group, and don't unload the truck that you loaded.

Don't team kill, don't suicide.

[sweet yarrow]

Where do BI stand on allowing community server owners to allow hate speech such as using racial and homophobic slurs on their servers?

[chrome flicker]

its their house their rules.

[sweet yarrow]

I think that applies to this discord not how BI allows server owners to run their server. So my question still stands.

Where do BI stand on allowing community server owners to allow hate speech such as using racial and homophobic slurs on their servers?

[chrome flicker]

they can do anything as long as it doesnt mess with BI's money

[sweet yarrow]

that's why I am asking if there is an official position.

[slow pagoda]

its not encouraged

[slow pagoda]

this is not completely accurate

[grim iris]

Playing on my server and came across this on Kolguyev. Never seen this before and I am 99% sure it isn't from a mod I am running as I am running my own custom mission (could be wrong though). BI Easter Egg?

[sweet yarrow]

Then is there a way to report a server promoting the use of this behavior?

[slow pagoda]

you can send an email to [e-mail]. However there is bit of delay in any investigations right now due to the holidays.

[sweet yarrow]

thank you.

[slow pagoda]

easter egg yes, collaboration between studios

[elder ore]

It's a bloodsucker head. Tbh I think they overdid the easter eggs a bit.

[winter zephyr]

I like the variety of switching between them.

[fleet turret]

what’s the most popular location on each map?

[lucid tulip]

i would of voted everon but kolguyev scales better with 48 players, wheras Arlands too small. Everon needs 64 players, but hopefully 128 is acheivable

[analog scarab]

I keep getting error code Group=1 'REPLICATION', reason=11 'SERVER_UNREACHABLE'

Anybody have a solution or explanation

[tepid torrent]

I voted arland bc i knew i would be the only one, when arland came it introduced some very unique environment changes and assets as a whole, these affected other maps too, i loved the trailer for it, and devs really cooked with the realistic terrain, the small island gameplay is much more enjoyable and intense with current player numbers

[stable topaz]

I voted Everon but these are all good reasons

[brazen crater]

Driving supply truck.

[brazen crater]

its aight, tyhey dont really care. We seen servers running advertisements with actual tied up POWs and they didnt care

[brazen crater]

server crashed it seems(if you was playing, got this error and cannto find it anymore)

[spark zealot]

I just absolutely love the terrain differentiation on Kolguyev, the autumn season also just feels more war-like.

[analog scarab]

Well my buddy was actually on the server, we found the issue was because he hosted it locally from his home which was all the way across the country for me

[brazen crater]

then i am sorry, have no idea

[analog scarab]

Just gonna have to get a server from a provider then lol

That being said, anyone know where I can get a good server for cheap

I had a look on Nitravo or whatever the exact name is, but would there be any other alternatives?

[brazen crater]

nitrado bad

[analog scarab]

Very, what do you recommend?

[brazen crater]

I dont have recommedations, sorry. not into hosting stuff, but nitrado is bad, no mods

[analog scarab]

Oh fuck great to know

[vague wing]

Anyone know if rank can be increased via game master?

[analog jasper]

how do you configure this?

[median basin]

Is Reforger still suffering from server crashes as finding games is very hard to get into with big servers taking 30mins to get into then crashing 20 mins in

[rancid iron]

Can someone explain how to adjust for Moa on the new scopes?

[modern swift]

I need help with modding arma reforger

[grim iris]

This video might help https://youtu.be/73YQcqnYHdE

[fleet turret]

how do i make it so when im aiming through a scope my scope stops moving

[tidal hound]

hold your breath

[fleet turret]

how do you do that?

[tepid torrent]

wait until your character catches breath, move to a more stable stance, or use an object as a mounting point

[tidal hound]

idk i havent played on a controller in like 10 years

I think they set it to R3 back in the day
thats pushing the right analog stick in

[fleet turret]

is it called focus?

[tidal hound]

i have no idea. i would have guessed focus is zooming in

[fleet turret]

oh ok thanks

[grim iris]

Are there any vanilla shipping containers that have open doors so that you can walk inside?

[terse cloak]

There is no hold breath

[terse cloak]

Dont troll the poor guy lmao

[tidal hound]

there is on PC I hold shift and it stops swaying as much

don't really care if it's called hold breath or not

[terse cloak]

There is no hold breath in vanilla.

[tidal hound]

Eh modernslop is more popular anyway

[grim iris]

There is a hold breath mod.

[terse cloak]

I guess he can try to look at binds then

[final dragon]

Hey good morning everyone i need help on something when creating a map, someone could help me?

If someone is interested in helping this is the problem

When a friend is making a custom map for a server based on Miguel Alemán to arma reforger he places buildings and roads, left the proyect because he needs to take care of other stuff and came back great mayority of the buildings and roads they disappear or appear literally sunk under the ground, at best, it can pass through structures as if it were a ghost, and roads and highways change location

Someone know how to fix it? Because we want make this proyect reality

[winter zephyr]

You are better off having your friend ask in #enfusion_terrain

[sweet yarrow]

running advertisements with actual tied up POWs vs allowing your community server to use hate speech and slurs are two entirely different things

[eager sandal]

Does anyone knows how to make GRS modular vest plays nice with RHS vests and pouches? I just noticed whenever I load GRS modular vest, RHS pouches can't hold as many item in them.

[alpine gazelle]

I just bought the game (around an hour ago) and I'm VERY stuck on the mortar couse. I've been trying to use the website (https://arma-mortar.com/) but it won't work. I've selected the correct mortar, and round type (HE has the same stuff as training round) but I keep missing. I'm doing exact locations and putting the mortar to the exact stuff (i honestly already forgot what they're called)... I can send images in DMs and share my screen. (please help i've been here for 30 minutes)

[terse cloak]

Wind

[alpine gazelle]

really?

[terse cloak]

wind affects mortar rounds

[alpine gazelle]

how do I adjust to wind?

[terse cloak]

yolo it basically

[alpine gazelle]

Game was glitched. I'll just rejoin and try the course again (or skip it)

[winter zephyr]

Not enough to make you fail the tutorial, it is super forgiving.

I'd assume that azimuth or elevation were way off.

[terse cloak]

hmm,he must have marked wrong then as he is using a calculator

[winter zephyr]

That's what I'd assume.

Could also be that it gave a firing solution with a different ring count and that wasn't set correctly.

[alpine gazelle]

I had the ring count set correctly- someone checked for me

[analog scarab]

Does renting a server from Gportal allow you to have mods?

[dusty sierra]

Hey guys, what's the best ammo type for the BRDM for shooting down helicopters or destroying lavs? Also, where is the best place to aim at a lav to take it out?

[analog scarab]

Side and Ass

Certain AP types, the default ammo is not enough to surely get through

[dusty sierra]

there seems to be two different kinds of AP ammo, not sure which one is best.

[analog scarab]

I'd have to look again at it, as the BTR it is the best AA in vanilla game, and you can shoot the Huey down at any section

[dusky apex]

Yooo any of y’all tried joining the Iraq insurgency server and had a unknown error on the Iraq 1990 map?

[dusty sierra]

is there an online guide to the different types of vehicle ammos?

[brazen crater]

It is not. literally a signal that signals "IDGAF"

...until i do, then everybody get banned. No reason, jsut random

[fleet turret]

how do i rest my gun on something to aim on controller?

[terse cloak]

It is

[terse cloak]

API since thats incendiary, its automatically in the vehicle

[fleet turret]

what are the best sniping spots on everon?

[junior wasp]

depends entirely on where enemy MOB is, and what points the teams control at any given time

[brazen crater]

this statement is fire

[worldly flame]

best sniping spots? i mean it depend on where the fight is. normally the fight stalls near Monti or Provins. both of those purple bases have hills to the east. so if you are up on those hills in a BTR you have a good sniping spot. I think the entre deux hill east of Monti is a great place. hillside doesn't have alot of trees and you can look out to the west and north.

people snipe in the hills above Levie. but might be useless if the enemy has moved on and no one is there.

soviet team has scopes for the NSV machine gun, so there's alot more options. I don't think US has any equivalent until you get the LAV APC

[analog scarab]

Does arma post roadmaps for what they plan to add throughout the year, and if so is there one out for 2026?

[stable topaz]

There's only the current roadmap, until it gets updated

[analog scarab]

I haven't seen it?

[languid lodge]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/roadmap

[terse cloak]

After this one ends then they said that a new roadmap is a internal joke. So it may happen. We havent gotten everything from the reddit ama so we may get more stuff. M113 is 70% possible

[frank finch]

Day late response but as said you can't plan for wind. You are supposed to have a forward observer (guy that sees where the shots are landing) and then they'll tell you where you are hitting and how you should adjust aim

[alpine gazelle]

The game was glitched, some guy said I was most likley missing due to wind but the instructor just thought I was missing everytime whenever the forward observer said I hit

[frank finch]

Oh I missed that it was happening during training. Yeah thats a glitch thats been known to happen for a while now I believe

[grim otter]

Are they aware of an exploit that allows others to chat with someone else's name?

[raw mountain]

Anyone know how to fix "Script Mismatch" error in ArmA Reforger

[grim iris]

Delete mods and re-download.

[raw mountain]

I already tried that, I will try it again but it didnt work the first time

[grim iris]

Verify steam files (if on PC).

[raw mountain]

Tried that as-well.

[grim iris]

Is it your own server you are playing on?

Did you delete mods by going to the folder location and deleting them there? Do you have OneDrive installed? If so, make sure it isn't backing up your mod directory.

[raw mountain]

No, its a public server

[crystal idol]

Why can I search for a mod on the workshop website, but I can't find it in the in-game workshop?

[stable topaz]

Do you have "Test mods" enabled in your in game workshop?

[crystal idol]

🙁 this explains everything

[floral path]

i am facing an issue already in the tutorial when it comes to the mortar stuff (fire support). i am supposed to change the ammunition types of the mortar but i removed everything that was mapped to the buttton V and now its unmapped. whats the setting called where i set the key for the shells of a mortar? pressing V makes me leave the mortar

[grim valley]

Any to fix constant freezing in Xbox

[spark zealot]

Get a PC

[half locust]

if you cannot help out, don’t troll at least.
The game is released across 3 platforms, customers are entitled to expect their purchased games to work on their respective platforms

[spark zealot]

Dang its a joke sorry...😥

[ancient rapids]

I gotta be honest here, a lot of the xbox users in my community are buying PCs because they are tired of not being able to play this game on their xboxes...

[terse cloak]

good for them

[ancient rapids]

shame they cant just play on their xboxes tho

[grim iris]

Just a shame RAM prices have skyrocketed.

[terse cloak]

they usually buy prebuilds anyways

[ancient rapids]

well I guess they "can," they are just tired of the crashing/freezing

[terse cloak]

i thought most of them left your community

[ancient rapids]

and there doesnt really seem to be any hope in sight for them

they did, there are a few die hard fans still around and they are looking into PCs now

[grim iris]

While I believe Arma should stay on PC, I do feel for the console community.

[ancient rapids]

yeah I really feel for my admins on xbox. I always see them lagging out and crashing every few minutes. Some of them figured out if they go to a part of the map where theres nothing really going on, they dont crash. But they're not really playing the game at that point.

[grim iris]

Yeah, we ended up only allowing PC players to apply for admin within my community. There was too many issues.

[crystal idol]

what's the correct thing to say then?

[grim otter]

What freezing?

Official servers have been terrible but community servers have been running smoothly for me with only a few minor hiccups.

[lucid tulip]

and ssd's. gpus gonna skyrocket too soon starting with 5090.

this is also going to affect next generation consoles costs. Even current generation ( if counting steam machine) since this is perhaps a core reason why Valve has refused to give an official planned MSRP cost yet.

[grim iris]

Yeah, I need to get myself another SSD ASAP.

[half locust]

let BI members / staff on this discord answer why consoles and more specifically xbox performance is terrible and what / if / when can something be done with it

[grim iris]

I am looking for an extremely small map (smaller then Arland) to test a process on. Any ideas? Kalvoy Island crashes on launch.

[ancient rapids]

[grim iris]

Completely forgot about that. It might be too small, but I will give it a go. Thanks

[analog scarab]

For anyone that hosts their own server via Gportal I could really use some help

I have a buddy that just recently purchased a server and we are trying kt get some mods to run on it, custom map, etc. And we are having difficulties with getting thag to work

Like right now we should me on that modded map but it put us into an old Conflict Everon map instead

There is a slew of problems and for anyone that has the knowledge of Gportal and mods please help!

[grim iris]

Server config needs to point to the mission header of the scenario that you are wanting to play. Example of a vanilla mission {ECC61978EDCC2B5A}Missions/23_Campaign.conf

Take a look at the example here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Config#Example

[analog scarab]

@keen ravine

[analog scarab]

Idk of all of the problems we are having as I'm on console and my buddy is the one on PC setting everything up

But any info helps, would you mind if I sent a dm and or made a gc with you, me, and my buddy so you could help us out more?

[grim iris]

Happy to DM, but might not reply straight away.

[analog scarab]

All good!

[half locust]

@crystal idol react all you want, advising an xbox user to buy a pc is not a proper advice for a game that user already purchased

[peak quail]

are there any good scenario mods that come close to insurgency game modes?

something like checkpoint, as a starting point

[crystal idol]

Capture and Hold is a vanilla scenario and it's basically KOTH but very close quarters

[uneven carbon]

I got a question. I’m new to playing this but every time I try to talk in game, no one can hear me. I’m on PC. I have a headset with a mic, but why can’t anyone hear me? And I’m hitting the push to talk

[terse cloak]

Go to windows settings and set your headset as default mic and restart game

[uneven carbon]

Thx you sir

[urban egret]

Im getting this game most likley any day now,how do matches work like I heard they can be on for hours ?

[terse cloak]

For conflict which is the main gamemode it can take a few hours or a like 45min to win the game. Depends on how bad your team is. Ppl are dumb af so if you wanna win then you gotta do most of the work

[junior wasp]

are there any mods that create and show a uniform rank / role patches that updates with the players rank / squad roles when they respawn?

[foggy ridge]

Your server provider has nothing to do with the mods you are using and how those mods work

[urban egret]

How sensitive is this game to bad wifi is it easy to like lag or get kicked cus by wifi aint the best

[hoary nacelle]

If you know your Wi-Fi is not up to par, then I would be running an ethernet cable. I run a dedicated server and it is wireless but a solid 60ghz gigabit bridge.

[urban egret]

I would but I would have to drill trhu 2 very thick walls

[hoary nacelle]

Same structure or building to building?

[urban egret]

Same structure

[hoary nacelle]

no attic access to go up and over?

[winter zephyr]

Very sensitive, especially as Reforger is more bandwidth intensive than the average game.

[arctic osprey]

How can I command AI to fly me or drive me somewhere while I'm the vehicle I'm new

[drifting sky]

Playing on PC, is there anyway to have more than 1 mod download at once like older versions?

my pc and internet is more than capable of handling like 5-10 downloads at the same time so having to wait for 300 20mb updates to happen one by one takes a long ass time

[chrome flicker]

no, best you can do its have 'no pause' command for steam on the game which allows you to download while alt tabbed.

[drifting sky]

wait it doesnt download while tabbed out?

[chrome flicker]

unless they recently changed it. no

[drifting sky]

whats the command

[chrome flicker]

-nopause

[drifting sky]

thanks

[maiden stratus]

Copied from my message in diuscussion to place into right category, deleting other.

Can anyone explain why i constantly crash in this game? Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Radeon 9070XT, 32GB DDR5. It doesnt matter what server, i constantly get crashes, more so than ive got on lesser systems prior to 1.6.
This game is starting to be a tremendous waste of time and effort just to play for maybe an hour at most. For some context, i have turned off all AMD specific "Frame boosting" processes, super sampling, frame generation, etc. I run Medium to Low Graphics at 1800 DD. I have 1100 hours and have played this game on 2 other PCs this year that were much older and lower specced and never had these issues.

[vocal oasis]

hey is there a way or mod to edit loadouts I want a custom loadout where when they spawn they spawn with only certain weapons and items

[waxen igloo]

what is byfar recommended, Enable 2d or no?

2D Scope

[tidal hound]

it doesnt do anything

[waxen igloo]

really? If I enable it, it smooth my long range scoping.

[waxen igloo]

Oh I see

Oh I understand the setting, thanks though!

[grim iris]

There was talking about rolling AMD drivers back a few versions. Unsure if this is still the case.

[grim iris]

This video might help you out https://youtu.be/e1rb8lSeFZ4

[wispy silo]

Does anyone know how a suppressor can be attached to this weapon from the image? I’ve come across a few people who were somehow able to do it. I asked one of them, and they told me they simply add it. It’s not a modded server, it’s pure vanilla, and as far as I understand, this specific weapon can’t have a suppressor attached to it.

[digital vortex]

Did they fix console crashing/freezing? My community is returning from winter break and some of our poor souls play on consoles

[real breach]

i keep getting this, can anyone help?

[cerulean token]

You're not supposed to since IRL this doesn't work with this carbine, it was likely fixed. There was a discussion here a while ago

[terse cloak]

They added a interaction menu into the inventory in like 1.2.169 or around then and basically you press i on the gun and you get like an attachment menu. Its a bug

[terse cloak]

No

[crisp bison]

@hexed hemlock I have a question but do i have to send it on email? 😂

[wispy silo]

I already know beforehand that this weapon isn’t supposed to be able to take a suppressor specifically. That’s exactly why I’m asking how it’s being done, since I’ve come across people on more than one occasion using this weapon with a suppressor attached.

[wispy silo]

I went into my GameMaster and tried it the way you mentioned, and it didn’t work for me either. I also tried with an Xbox controller, but no luck. It looks like it’s a bug that’s still working under certain circumstances.

[terse cloak]

u removed the barrel end first?

[wispy silo]

You mean “the muzle”?

[terse cloak]

YEA

[wispy silo]

Yeah

[terse cloak]

and you pressed i and didnt open the gun

[wispy silo]

I tried every possible way and nothing worked, even with the muzzle attached.

[terse cloak]

this menu

[wispy silo]

Yes, I pressed the “I” key and only the weapon appeared, and I still couldn’t put it on with that either.

[terse cloak]

ok, just making sure

[wispy silo]

Doesn’t it work for you either?

[terse cloak]

just did it

[terse cloak]

need to have muzzle hider on it, then just drag the supressor

[spark zealot]

Wait is this vanilla?!

[terse cloak]

yes

[spark zealot]

Omg, bro I swear I tried looking for this thinking it was a mod like 2 weeks ago.

[wispy silo]

Yes, you’re right! What I was doing before was removing the muzzle and then trying to add the suppressor. Apparently, you have to attach the suppressor directly. Thanks a lot!

[hoary nacelle]

Also if you detach the suppressor and want to attach it again, you have to put the flash hider back on first. Additionally, you cannot save your loadout with the suppressor attached. If you do, the suppressor will be lost on respawn. So save with it detached and then attach after spawning.

[wispy silo]

Thank you very much for the info! With the number of hours I have in the game, I thought I knew everything by now, but I don’t every time I learn something new! Thanks!

[wild shale]

So I play on one of these Arma life servers and they required $10 for you to switch your data on console to PC and I'm kind of wondering if this is against the rules

[analog scarab]

I have a guy claiming he knows the owner of the "AMP" servers

If anybody knows the actual person who owns those servers can they be sent my way?

[tidal hound]

It's not which I find, frankly, ridiculous

They allow microtransactions in in ARMA servers lol

[ancient rapids]

Good question! I would start by looking on the monetized servers list to see if they are on there. If not, it is most certainly NOT allowed and should be reported. Even if they are monetized, Im not too sure if that would be allowed or not.

[slow pagoda]

Yes that does sound like it is against the rules. Can you DM me the details

[acoustic saffron]

nobody can join me

is the servers broken?

[peak zinc]

i cannot get this https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61B514B96692C049-ConflictPVERemixedVanilla2.0#:~:text=Back to Workshop-,CONFLICTPVEREMIXEDVANILLA2.0,-by Gramps303 to work. Would any one be willing to help a brother out?

[ancient rapids]

It works just fine. You most likely have a mod conflict. Make sure you are not running any other mods before determining it "doesn't work." I have been running this on my servers for years now.

[peak zinc]

oh i know it works ive seen it working on several servers. I know its something im doing wrong lol. Hence the reach for help i want to use this. However im new and im sure ill mess something up as I already have

[ancient rapids]

Oh good, almost every day someone is trying to tell me it doesnt work lol! Maybe your hosting provider can be of help?

[peak zinc]

no im just inexperienced im sure. I may not have a proper understanding of how to set it up is all. I am looking!

is it meant to be setup through workbench?

[ancient rapids]

should be simply plug n play

[peak zinc]

as i though. the bit to add to config must be where im missing

[ancient rapids]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Config

And you can go to the link you posted above and go to the scenarios tab to get the GUID for the scenario you'd like to run.

[mighty vigil]

Anyone know what may cause the 25mm for the LAV-25 to not fire?
(Modded)

[peak zinc]

looks like i might have it! now to just figure out some configs!

It didnt create the config file? Oh wait i didnt add linear yet. baby steps

oops didnt mean to type that out. im so tuned in i just typed a thought...

[candid jackal]

Does anyone know if I can set up a base at this harbor I’m at it won’t let me send pictures but it’s at fisherman’s bay

[worldly flame]

which map, everon?

[candid jackal]

Yes

[worldly flame]

hmm not sure but u can't build a new base 500m within harbor supply bases, existing bases, and also requested bases. is there an existing requested base nearby?

[crisp glen]

goon

[candid jackal]

There the starting base but it’s pretty far and it’s at a harbor which I thought you could place a Operation Tent at

It’s a harbor i captured there is just no HQ tent inside it

[worldly flame]

u talkin vanilla HQC mode? for vanilla they have these harbor supply points that have a diamond symbol but its got a horziontal black line thru it. those only give supplies periodically yea

there's no antenna or base building bulletin board there

[crisp glen]

only a flag

[candid jackal]

It’s a rectangle icon just no operating tent

[worldly flame]

when u capture it, you'll get information on how many supplies are there. and it will let u know if enemy come

and you can't build a base within 500 meters of it, thats prolly what is blocking u from doing the new base request

[candid jackal]

Can we DM rq so I can show you my screen

[crisp glen]

I hosted a Arma Reforger Nitrado Server, how do I make it day?

[candid jackal]

Nvr I read the manual and I’m used to old arma

[hoary nacelle]

Highly recommend manually setting the PVE version to 2.4.15 unless you like the idea of clairvoyant mortar fire. Very unrealistic. Before we took a break from this we used 2.4.15 and Linear 1.3.5.

[fallen depot]

can anyone help me figure out which server this is

[slow pagoda]

there isnt really any information in this picture that would tell what the server is

[grim iris]

I think it's [NA2] SpearHead Yunakivka Ultra Hardcore or NA3 of Spearhead

[fallen depot]

yeah couldnt really get any only thing was the custom us army faction

[slow pagoda]

well that isnt even present in your picture 😅

[fallen depot]

mb

[slow pagoda]

but even from that its not really possible to tell what server it is

[trail hamlet]

You might have to meta search, one thing is for sure, they have custom russian faction bcs it have not soviet flag.

[winter zephyr]

Check every server name with the cut-off server text in the top right :p

[ionic patio]

this technically is/ isnt a reforger question but i havent been able to find anything about it anywhere, with Salami's realistic combat drone mod is there any in depth information out there for the ranges of the drones, jammer backpacks, drop distances e.t.c?

[turbid elm]

Is there a mod to let people on my server restart/setup the scenario? Or do I need to give out the admin pw?

example: the escapists needs some pre-game setup

[prime merlin]

hey how do iget access to Arma Reforger Tools?

[tidal hound]

download them

[grim valley]

Any fix for constant freezing in vanilla and modded

[wheat forge]

Why reforger game crash?

[sand verge]

When are we getting ther GM/Admin tool back that Saves a worl so you can load it in the future?

[grim iris]

Are you talking about locally or on a server?

[sand verge]

I am talking about a GM/MILSIM server. They took the save map and load map feature away with 1.6. Do we know when we will be getting it back?

[grim iris]

I believe it was removed because they have added persistence

[sand verge]

Adding persistence is different than reloading an old save. What if a griefer comes in?

[grim iris]

Then load the older persistence save

You can also create a mission on your PC (GM) and transfer to your server.

[sand verge]

That’s currently what I am doing rn but it shouldn’t have to come to buying a PC for some people to make a map or begging map makers to develop a map custom for you. No one wants to do it because they don’t get paid.

[grim iris]

As mentioned above, you could setup the persistence system on the server while the server is locked. Create your mission and then when it has saved, backup the save file.

Load the save file when you wantt to run it. No, its not as clean as the other method

[sand verge]

I understand thank you! Just was wondering if that old method was maybe coming back! Thank you for your input and I will do that when my heli training map is done!

[grim iris]

I remember hearing that it was coming back, but it was broken due to the new implementation (dont quote me on this though).

[sand verge]

Damn 1.6 did what it was best at 😂

[maiden stratus]

When can we expect to see updates for performance and stability now that the holidays are over?

[terse cloak]

Soon tm

[grim valley]

I agree there needs to be major changes to performance the games almost unplayable on anything besides game master servers

[maiden stratus]

I have a relatively beefycomputer spec wise and crash more than i ever have. Have played for 1100 hours and the last 100 have been so wasted on crashes then requeuing. Doesnt seem to matter on the server or mod load, any server does it and its extremely frustrating. Holidays are over, time for BI to get to work and correct the issues plaguing this game on PC and console.

[grim valley]

I agree it’s such a great game but runs like absolute crap

It was never this bad since the newest update

[grim iris]

Even if you have a beefy PC, if the server has a ton of mods, that clash, haven't been updated or conflict in some way, you are bound to have more crashes. Yes BI does need to get some fixes out soon, but server owners need to be cautious of the mods they are running as well.

[maiden stratus]

When the constant issues ignore mods and span across vanilla and modded servers, i dont think its a server owner issue. The modded servers i play are constantly working on updates and pushing them out frequently on a weekly or bi weekly basis. I understand mods do add instability. Its just the nature of modded content and i accept that. If you look at the subreddit for Reforger these issues are persistent across multiple game modes and systems, that's where it becomes unacceptable.

[frozen pelican]

Him and I already have the server, our laptops just cant run the whole modding process, which is why we’re asking for help

[slow pagoda]

what do you mean modding process?

[frozen pelican]

like, my laptop cant handle the whole modding thing, we have a server, and my buddy was trying to show me how to do add buildings and stuff or like points to capture on arma workbench

[slow pagoda]

do you mean local server on your laptop or a rented server?

[frozen pelican]

i bought a server

[slow pagoda]

but you are also trying to make a mod?

if you are using arma workbench

[frozen pelican]

no were not trying to make one, my buddy was explaining that its easier to do that way

[slow pagoda]

if you make something on workbench then that is a mod

or maybe mission

but its nothing to do with server setup

you might play it on your server though

[frozen pelican]

were just trying to get it to where we can do like a PVE thing where you can capture points if that makes sense

[slow pagoda]

you could maybe try so COOP game mode from the workshop to get started

[frozen pelican]

how do i do that?

[acoustic bay]

I wanted to create a mod and publish it I'm told that I'm banned why I didn't do it...

[slow pagoda]

you know Sila right?

he will know the reason

[acoustic bay]

Yes but I have nothing to do with him I create my own server since he is banned?

So because I know him I'm banned?

[slow pagoda]

no you just tried to use his files

so now you are banned

its stupid isnt it.

I would recommend you guys stop this kind of behavior

but

[acoustic bay]

I didn't know I couldn't use that map I thought he had no problem for that

I'm sorry I didn't know it was forbidden he published them in the discord and told us to take them to open our server so I priced the configuration but I wanted to change everything...

[slow pagoda]

no all of his work is banned

and unfortunately you are now too since you tried to use it

[acoustic bay]

I didn't know he told us to take everything to make your server... I could be deban please to open my server I wouldn't take anything from him

[slow pagoda]

no

he lied

take it up to him

[acoustic bay]

So I'm banned because he lied to us and that suddenly I wanted to use it's not fair because I couldn't know it myself..

[slow pagoda]

yes

it is on him

because he lied to you

[winter zephyr]

Mod gets banned
Upload mod yourself to get around ban
Get banned

[lucid tulip]

Who is sila and why was his work banned from workshop to begin with?

[slow pagoda]

breaking rules multiple times

the reasons are of no concern

he is very well aware of them

he just didnt like getting banned

this happens occasionally when people try to evade ban

sometimes they even trick friends to upload for them

[acoustic bay]

But I didn't do anything I didn't even get a warning nothing so I'm an honest player I want to start to open a server I tell myself there's a guy who gives business to open his server great I'm going to take it and hop I get banned ....

[lucid tulip]

Is there a list of what mods are blacklisted? Or is the rule of thumb is to not use mods that aren't available on workshop?

[slow pagoda]

no list. best no to touch that kind of stuff

[acoustic bay]

It is not marked anywhere that it is forbidden to take a person's mods...

[slow pagoda]

he knew

[winter zephyr]

#reforger_questions message

[slow pagoda]

you can blame him

[acoustic bay]

But not us..

[slow pagoda]

nothing can be done

[acoustic bay]

Who I can contact above to be deban because it's not normal they pass me I get banned without anything without warning or anything..

[slow pagoda]

you cant

Sila knew and gave you a bomb

you can only blame him

the ban stays

[acoustic bay]

Okay but pk I say to be sanctioned I couldn't know if?

[slow pagoda]

but honestly you did know

you cant lie your way out of this

everyone knows that

all of wareast is banned

spread the word

Sila knew already

[acoustic bay]

No I didn't know if you want I have the proof in writing

[slow pagoda]

no need thanks. the ban stays

[acoustic bay]

Thank you anyway .. you ban people for nothing

[slow pagoda]

no no, for breaking the rules

not for nothing

if you are angry about this, point that anger towards sila

we didnt lie to you

[acoustic bay]

I would like to see the rule because it is not marked anywhere..

[slow pagoda]

what rule?

[acoustic bay]

That it is forbidden

[slow pagoda]

to upload something banned?

it kinda is in the context that it is banned

[acoustic bay]

Yes and where is it marked that it is mod there are prohibited?

[slow pagoda]

the silas mods that files you tried to upload are marked banned on the workshop

but you are just trying to waste my time now

I've given you the reasons

[acoustic bay]

Uh no they are not even marked in the workshop..

[maiden stratus]

If theres no list of banned mods how do you expect people to know that the mods are banned?

Genuine question, i have nothing to do with that dude above, curious about getting into server work myself so want to make sure i dont screw myself and any of the potential devs of my server group

[slow pagoda]

dont take some random files from strangers

in this case he is part of the same group and they knew very well the files were banned

what he said here was just lies

[maiden stratus]

10-4, thanks Goat

[slow pagoda]

👍

[cerulean token]

So is there a good reason why vehicles blow up so easily in Reforger? Is it just so they get cleaned up by the garbage manager more frequently? AR wants to be authentic, but this is just ridiculous, and quite hilarious most of the time.

[tidal hound]

well when your gameplay loop involves 128 players single pruchasing vehicles on every death you gotta do what you gotta do

[grim iris]

Like I said, yes BI need to push some updates and hopefully soon, however server owners still need to be mindful of the amount of mods and what mods they are running.

I avoid reddit as it is a..... unique and interesting place 🤣

[red solstice]

RIP legendary server...

[slow pagoda]

There is no need to comment on these things thanks.

[grim iris]

This can vary from server to server, vehicle mod to vehicle mod and weapon mod to vehicle mod for damage calculations. Unless you are referring to straight vanilla.

[cerulean token]

Of course I am referring to vanilla

You crash a car into a tree at higher speed and it just becomes an IED

[rigid scarab]

There are only two scenarios in which you can get ahold of banned workshop files:

1. You were the original uploader who is now banned
2. The banned person shares the files with you directly outside of the workshop.

The only way you should be downloading mods is through the workshop.

how to kill FIA stuck in boulders?

(i found an FIA man stuck in a boulder on the ridge at signals hill on Arland. I had mortared the bejesus out of the hill earlier and went to clear it. I think FIA got knocked out by mortar and fell into boulder but I'm not sure. I threw lots of nades at the rock but they still were yelling Jedna at me)

[dusk badger]

lol “jedna”
That is what they say I always wondered about it:)

[maiden stratus]

This was already answered above by a mod, thanks for the input though.

[distant horizon]

anyone familiar with any vietnam mods in reforger?

[rigid scarab]

there''s a ton, look up the vietnam servers, you'll download all the ones worthwhile

[tepid torrent]

as soon as i hear the "Jedna" word get dropped at night in a pitch black forest behind me I just hold W and SHIFT at the same time and pray

[nova epoch]

When will the Roadmap be updated?

[topaz whale]

I think they said it wouldn't be

[rancid matrix]

does single player save and can be played again the next day

[ancient rapids]

I dont think the official scenarios save right now, only working on dedicated servers. Hopefully we see that in 1.7 (next update)

[terse cloak]

Only been updated once which was like 3 years ago. We may get a new one but its apparentally a internal joke.

[rancid matrix]

how do you make the arma vision zoom out infinitly

[plucky rapids]

Is mortars affected by wind and if so how do i correct them acordingly to wind

[terse cloak]

Yea

[brittle herald]

Whats the next feature incoming to reforger? do we know?

[terse cloak]

On the roadmap and stuff from the january reddit ama. Electricity and at some point mirrors, periscope, maybe m113

[terse cloak]

#reforger_discussion message this is the summary of the january ama

[winter zephyr]

As for correcting for it, the best thing is to have an observer.

[cobalt harbor]

Yes, have a forward spotter tell you where the rounds are landing and correct for it manually.

[topaz whale]

Get in a helicopter, turn it on, get out, fire the mortar, get back in the heli, fly straight up, see where it lands, come back down, fire another, repeat /s

[topaz whale]

That's last January though right? I imagine a lot could have potentially changed

[terse cloak]

Yeah last jan, prolly idk

[tepid torrent]

fair, kolgy is a great map, the assets it brings are next level

[elder ore]

It is but Everon is still where I'm at.

[tepid torrent]

everons rolling hills, hike trails, and tended forestry are hard to beat

[lucid tulip]

I really do like everon but it just needs higher playercount for official servers. Compared to Everon , Kolgy scales much better for 48 players without being as tiny as arland

[stark ingot]

Anyone got any idea why all the servers are showing up with like 600 ping regardless of where they are

[winter zephyr]

This is the correct way to report: #reforger_discussion message

[rich cypress]

So what’s coming in the next update? Power? I saw that on the roadmap but what else periscopes? Mirrors? And what about that 113 audio file, Is that for Arma 4 or Reforger? If it’s a step toward Arma 4, I think seeing tracked vehicles in Reforger would be reasonable.

[glass trellis]

Tracked vehicles and more vehicles haven’t been outright denied by devs, we know mirrors and periscopes are coming along with power

All we know is next major update is likely gonna be power

As for post roadmap stuff I’ve not mentioned I’m not sure about

[chrome sphinx]

It's not gonna be power, power is waaayy later.

[ancient rapids]

Hopefully they smooth out persistence and focus on bugs before adding more content. Like the console catastrophe?

[glass trellis]

Last I heard they were waiting for performance light rope physics before they did it

[glass trellis]

I believe that’s what they’re doing rn

[winter zephyr]

That's not true, for power related stuff that only affects power line collisions.

[glass trellis]

Are they waiting on something specific or is power not their focus rn?

[winter zephyr]

We don't know, but rope physics is a thing that would be nice to have and would let them do some things, but isn't a blocker for power being implemented.

[glass trellis]

Can’t wait for this year to get like 2 content drops and a million performance improvements (in all seriousness tho I am excited for what’s coming this year even if it’s just performance fixes)

[fair lava]

Were would I go to ask for some help making a map

[winter zephyr]

Probably #enfusion_terrain

Thanks

[crude bobcat]

cant seem to get my mic working ingame could someone give me some assistance?

[terse cloak]

did that

[jolly flax]

Is reforger worth it in 2026?

[glass trellis]

Yea I’d say so

Got some issues rn but they’re on track to be solved this year so apart from that it’s pretty solid

Personally I’d wait for a sale but that just me

[jolly flax]

What would you say is a reasonable price?

[glass trellis]

I paid 23 for it about two years back

[jolly flax]

Hm

[glass trellis]

Quick maths and memory tells me I’ve got my moneys worth

1.7k hours for 23 bucks

[jolly flax]

Better then going to the cinema for 30 bucks for 2 hours

[glass trellis]

If it’s what you’re looking for you’ll rack up them hours quick

[terse cloak]

Bear in mind arma 4 which this game is a stepping stone for, will come out in 2027

[topaz whale]

"Is planned to" 😁

[worldly flame]

does anybody know if the wind that affects mortar rounds is also the same that affects flares? (like can I shoot a flare and get idea of wind direction?)

because I think the flag at the base tent is just randomly waving. it doesn't show where window direction is right?

[winter zephyr]

Yes, flares/grass/trees/bullets/rockets/mortars are all affected by the same wind.

It seems that waves are broken right now and flags don't have that implemented yet.

[bleak jacinth]

Is there a way to be able to save your game master servers. It all really stopped working after 1.6.

any ways to be able to do it pre 1.6?

Does anybody know how to set up the m252 mortor backpack stuff in Reforger? We're on a mission to destroy some artilary and I'm trying to assemble it on a road but its not working

[topaz whale]

Do you have all 3 pieces?

[native geyser]

The container, the stand, the gun, and the entrenching tool?

[topaz whale]

Bipod, tube, base

[native geyser]

omg

[winter zephyr]

The ammo container is just for carrying rounds, not for assembling it.

[native geyser]

Gotcha lol. I didn't see it anywhere, might have to put that in the wiki later or something

[topaz whale]

I did that same thing a few months ago and forgot one of the pieces. It should be in the field manual but isn't.

[native geyser]

Yeah that was my first thought but it didn't explain anything in there, because why would a manual tell me anything useful XD

Lore building exercises

[lethal siren]

Hi. I have a question.
How can I remove the tent from a ConflictControlPoint?
I want to keep only the plashnet or a couple of objects from this prefab.
So, how do I remove the buildings from it?

I literally need to create a capture point with no or minimal buildings. How do I do this?

[terse cloak]

Ask in https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/976159829628444682

[grim iris]

Simple answer:

• Open Reforger Tools/Workbench
• Look at current prefab and see what is required
• Make new prefab/composition with what you are after
• Publish mod

Long answer:

• Too long to explain.

This video might help you with the composition side of it, but you will still need to work out exactly what else is needed.

[eager hinge]

hey guy's whats the keybind on pc for countermeasures (falres) for helo's??

[tidal hound]

isn't it like shift f or something

[eager hinge]

dunno bro but i can try it

[versed bear]

What is the render distance for characters/Ai based on? I thought it was the pixelscale like most other objects, but no matter what I do to this value, even turning it off, they always unrender at 1000 ish meters

[winter zephyr]

Missions can set a distance to despawn AI to save on resources, and that depends on the mission. Other players (or AI that haven't been unloaded) can be reliably seen up to 1500m on PC if the client settings are high enough and the network distance on the server is at least that far.

[versed bear]

Where do I change that distance at? I have view distance related settings maxed, and the server is set to 2000m network view distance, however AI still unload at 1000

[winter zephyr]

You need to edit things in the workbench.

[versed bear]

Is there a tutorial or wiki for this? I cant seem to find it in the workbench

[winter zephyr]

Probably not but you can ask in the #enfusion_ channels.

[versed bear]

[maiden stratus]

Anyone having GPU hang errors? If so, have you found a fix?

[edgy shard]

just wondering, having some issues with griefers who are harassing and ruining the experience for everyone on the BI servers, other than kicking them (which is not effective enough) what other options have we got? same 4 players creating new accounts on xbox

[tidal hound]

They don't even have to swap accounts do they

You can kick someone and they can just rejoin

[edgy shard]

yeah

[ancient rapids]

takes a lot longer to start a new account than it does to kick someone. jus sayin

[fresh flame]

Is there any World War II Faction Units for ARMA Reforger ? I looked under #communities_arma_reforger and didn’t see any listed but see mods for it

[edgy shard]

they only get kicked for 5min, and takes 2 min on xbox

[ancient rapids]

Well if you dont have an alternate already they have to go in and create a new email, etc. takes a few min. But to ban each account, its a couple seconds. so just keep banning them until they get tired of making new accounts. Its a lot less work for an admin to ban than it is for a ban evader to evade the ban.

oh wait youre probably talking about vanilla official servers... RIP!

[edgy shard]

yes i am! otherwise I wouldn't be here lmao

[ancient rapids]

I would consider playing on modded servers. Many of them actually have admins that moderate their servers and ban people that do that kinda stuff. Or maybe rent your own server and password protect it for you and your friends.

[maiden stratus]

I completely agree w this on the modded portion, yes it does add some instability, but a vanilla+ server with active staff is gonna be your best bet.

[winter zephyr]

Vanilla+ servers never last. There are popular community vanilla servers, though.

[junior wasp]

Any insight into why?

[sand prawn]

Anyone know why tf I get random 7gb Updates.

[slow pagoda]

#socials message

Its not so random I guess

[glass trellis]

Cuz game update

[fierce oar]

Does it happen in vanilla that AI logi can't load/unload supplies at any other captured or built base? I faced a problem that AI picks up a logi task but they can't load or unload anything and stay there

Im wondering what could be missing and how to diagnos the issue

[sand prawn]

Oh ima look bc the announcment channel was empty.

[junior wasp]

Possibly if the logistics priorities and such arent set up properly, any more info?

[winter zephyr]

People who want heavily modded stuff will never want vanilla+, because it isn't heavily modded enough.

Servers that have vanilla+ mods have to compete with all the popular vanilla servers. If the vanilla+ server isn't visible, populated, well moderate, etc., people who would be interested in it might never see it or won't stick around.

[fierce oar]

I tried to change priorities and desired supply amount, but it doesn't seem to change anything. 2 trucks leave main base, 1 empty and 1 full, they reach the 1st captured base and just stop there, that's it. It's a custom gamemode, and it used to work until not long ago

[fierce oar]

They get a task, and they drive there, but then stop there and that's the end of their journey. I tried to load supplies manually, but that didn't help

Looks like only BI knows what could be the issue

[worldly flame]

there is launch command line option for the game that in the youtube video from BI about workbench modding tutorial Artificial Intelligence, option was used to get more detail on what the AI is computing:
-scrDefine AI_DEBUG
idk if this would do shit

[quartz lance]

It will show you the name of the behavior A.I. is currently using and if you go close to an A.I. character it will pop up a window with additional informations.
If you are interrested in debug stuff check the diagnostic menu.
There is a whole section dedicated to A.I. with all kind of stuff to activate.

[forest radish]

just a is it just me question
is it my internet connection or Server connection being bad going above 999ms disconnecting from servers then reconnecting not being able to play over and over

[maiden stratus]

I have never personally seen that happen, are you on WiFi or wired connection?

[forest radish]

I'm on ethernet

[maiden stratus]

What are you ping and speeds from a speedtest?

[forest radish]

when its happening my fps is fine but server fps is like sub 20

[maiden stratus]

Modded or vanilla?

[forest radish]

modded

[maiden stratus]

deferring back to this question as well, what are you regular pings and speeds from speedtesting?

[forest radish]

dl is 4.56mbps with 164ms and up is 7.49mbps with 331ms

[maiden stratus]

Honestly it could be two things working in relation to one another, servers provider is not the greatest and your internet connection is also a bit off with base ping already

[analog jasper]

does spacestrider have a bug report thing?

the abrams has a few issues, this being one of the biggest

[wispy silo]

How is it possible to spawn at a base while it is being attacked? It’s not the first time I’ve seen this happen. For example, today three of us were capturing a base, and in the middle of the capture process the enemy spawned there. I’m asking because it doesn’t let me spawn at a base when it’s under attack.

[terse cloak]

You have the bar on top?

[wispy silo]

Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. The three of us were capturing it, we were at around 50% captured, and I was trying to destroy the radio antenna when suddenly the enemy spawned. I’m asking because it’s not the first time this has happened, and it doesn’t happen every time. I’ll try to make a clip of it.

[terse cloak]

Yeah i think i have also spawned when that has happened, its probably somehow related to how sometimes you cant dig a bases radio tower even if capping

Some bug basically

[topaz whale]

I feel like I've been able to do that too but it's possible the enemy had walked out of the capture zone or something. I'm not sure.

[winter zephyr]

Most likely it was the enemy commander exploiting a bug.

[ancient rapids]

delete them all and join the server you play on (re-download the ones you use)

[finite jungle]

Anyone know why I can only see a fraction of the multiplayer server list on pc?

[slow pagoda]

maybe some filter is on

[finite jungle]

I’ve cleared all filters and restarted multiple times, even tried joining the server direct but says it’s not found

[worldly flame]

u on PC? in settigns gameplay, make sure Crossplay is enabled (like crossplay PC/XBOX/PS. if Crossplay is not enabeld u will see fewer servers). also make sure u launched the regular Reforger exe and not the Experimental one. when u launch reforger in the top-right corner it should say 1.6.0.108 (Steam) and not like Experimental (Experimtanl is a separate version for super new changes and has only a few servers)

[finite jungle]

I managed to just keep putting filters on until the server i wanted to join appeared but weird i can’t see the whole list

or direct join the server

[vivid mantle]

Try my mod called Realism Overhaul - Lighting.
It does change the tonemapping and other post process effects, but unfortunately if you are playing multiplayer it has to be loaded on the server as well

are the any other mods that gives the Abrams Bradley and stryker thermals like irl?

Hosting on a separate PC on your network or on the same PC?

[olive crest]

Same PC

[tough viper]

Ah weird, I’ve never had that issue. Though I do have port forwarding configured on my router for my server. I wouldn’t expect you to have to do that though just to connect to yourself.

[trail hamlet]

Keep scanning the horizon with right mouse button so you have the zoom

[obtuse frigate]

does each gun/ammo type have its own muzzle velocity? i don't quite know how to go about aiming at targets at range

[trail hamlet]

Indeed, what is your preferred weapon system?

[obtuse frigate]

i still don't quite know, especially because i'm still torn on modded vs vanilla and indecisive on which faction to pick up (though i lean towards the soviets)

that said despite leaning towards soviet, i love me some rails systems and will miss having good scopes in vanilla

in games like these i mostly prefer having precision cause i do semiauto for nearly every shot unless i'm using MGs

[trail hamlet]

Well i wanted to tailor the answer to your preferred system and give some examples, but lets just generally say:
Yes, every type of bullet have its own muzzle velocity and properties of air drag and how much they are affected by wind. But even the same bullet will have certain inconsistency, not every shot will be the same, like IRL

[obtuse frigate]

well when you say system do you mean like which gun, which caliber, which mod? i do wish i could give the answer to that though, unfortunately im still trying to figure out which side i'd prefer haha. only reason i say i prefer soviet is cause i feel like in my experience the soviet players are generally more cohesive in game

and also my considerations with modded. those servers are backed up with players, hard to get in on it

but the gun diversity does have some appeal...

[trail hamlet]

When i say weapon system, that is just fancy wording for gun. The gist of this is there are scopes that are zeroed to specific caliber, so for example using scope intended for 5.56mm on a 7.62x51mm gun will not work that well, its not unusable, but the zero will not be where you expect it.

[obtuse frigate]

aahhhh gotcha. i will need to look into stuff some more so i can figure out my weapon of choice that i can Learn

[winter zephyr]

Or just get good enough at all of them :p

@obtuse frigate with vanilla assault rifles (AK-74 and M16A2), they have a default battle zero. For the AK-74, the training IRL was to aim for the belt, and that allows you to hit a standing person in the torso from 0-440m. The M16 is similar (though with higher velocity and more accuracy), just aim center mass, and you'll hit the upper torso between 0-300 m.

[fierce oar]

AI doesn't load/unload supplies at destination base, does anyone know how to find out what's wrong? I'm workbench noob

[lapis ridge]

rpk is faster than AK, AK is faster than krink. can be same for americans with their m249 to m16 to m4. Tracers feel like they have more air drag which makes them out of line at far, far ranges

[winter zephyr]

Tracers do have different ballistics, but how much depends on the round. Usually it is less weight and slightly different velocity.

[slow pagoda]

!purgeban @potent citrus 0 cryptoscam spam

[cyan marsh]

*fires them railguns at @potent citrus* Ò_Ó

[quiet sky]

i believe tracers irl have less drag because the gasses put off by the burning tracer compound help to fill in the area of low pressure behind the projectile

[dawn sun]

Is it still possible to 100% the game because on official servers the achievements are not tracking is it possibly because of the vulnerability patch mod?

[cedar glen]

Will the flight modelling from Arma 3 be brought over to Reforger? The advanced flight model is great. Shame it hasnt been brought over to Reforger not a huge fan of the unrealistic elements of the flight model in Reforger

[versed bear]

Does it make a difference to the AI spotting to use tracers or not? Not sure if it makes them able to trace it to you easier

[winter zephyr]

Makes no difference for the AI right now, as far as I know.

[topaz whale]

And frankly they probably figure out where you are pretty quickly just from you firing

[modest current]

Can and Arma dev or Bohemia person contact me a server is crashing my server and trying to charge money for they public workshop mods

[tepid torrent]

Ok, send the mod name to the devs and they will sort it

[modest current]

It’s a public mod so idk why they harassing and crashing my server

[ancient rapids]

If their mod is crashing your server because you didn't pay for it, they will get banned, that's 100% not allowed.

[elder ore]

Be honest. Sometimes it feels like no one on a server knows what's going on.

[terse cloak]

Dont think so

[chrome flicker]

no the a3 afm is a closed sourced lib called rotorlib and bi wants to keep everything in house and free and open source as much as possible

[void shadow]

Does reforger allow for creating machinima's without diving into workbench too much? As in placing characters with animations that already exist in the game, pre record character movement etc?

[winter zephyr]

It is probably way easier to just use the workbench.

[tepid torrent]

Everyone knows we don’t got tanks

🤭 I guess it should have been Armored vehicleing, and if you like logistics, no matter the vehicle, choose logistics

[fossil condor]

Anyone else have crashes 1 min after loading ingame

ever since the last update I cant play the game

[trail hamlet]

I have seen few people had crashes after short time too, you are not alone. Console i suppose?

[fossil condor]

pc

[coarse harness]

When we getting flight stick support on ps5?

[ruby hull]

Session Error
battleeye has encountered an error
kick cause code: group=3 "battleye", reason=1 "CLIENT_NOT_RESPONDING";

I'm getting the error mentioned above. The only solution I can find is using the WARP application, but that gives me a high ping. I can't log in while using Goodbyedpi. Do you have any other solutions?

[winter zephyr]

#reforger_troubleshooting is probably the place to ask this.

And you can answer this there: does it work without Goodbyedpi?

[inner inlet]

Quick question, if I create a custom player faction and I change the radio encryption keys, do I need to create radio duplicates for that faction or something?
We ran our first modded reforger test the other night and only I (logged in a admin) could talk on radio, everyone else had theirs locked

[lucid tulip]

i fly helicopter 😎 🚁

[tepid torrent]

If you change radio encryption keys ensure the faction has access to the radio prefab you changed

[inner inlet]

Ok so the encryption key is somehow tied to the radio prefab? I wasn't sure if that was the case of if the encryption key was just blanket for the faction. Thanks

[tepid torrent]

Yeah, encryption key is tied to the specific prefab, hence why in game files there are two soviet handheld prefabs, one for soviets and another for fia

[inner inlet]

Thanks yeah makes sense, the more I think about it the more obvious it is
Thanks appreciate the help

[neon inlet]

Can anyone help, every time i join a server it redownloads the mods, not updates it redownloads all the server mods, i was in server, then disconnected and instantly rejoined but redownloads all the mods then i wait another 40min+ for 20+ mods.

[trail hamlet]

Flying is indeed so much fun, yesterday i flew people in hip again, CIE no.6 on red side. Got angried because blue kept flying with hinds and they were dropping bombs on the ground close to where i would fly and that actually hit the chopper.

[raven wind]

What would be the best way you think to get in contact with some mod developers regarding questions on their mods

Does anyone know some good server providers i was wanting to get a server?

[neon inlet]

W.C.S pretty good

[rocky narwhal]

Ok

How do i find a link to there panel?

[olive dew]

Or use a VPS and combine it with AMP Panel

[olive dew]

This is the better option but takes more work to setup

Anyone got tipps and fixes for GPU Hangs Crash every other Match, after +- 3 hours. Ryzen 7 7800x3d and 4070ti Su with 16gb Vram and 34 RAM. 1440p. The GPU drivers are Up to date, Game is running on a SSD with enough empty Space.

[strange nest]

You can’t right night i have a slightly better setup and all you can do is wait bohemia to fix their game :/

[rancid scarab]

Trying to self host server rn and havent port forwarded yet but when i try to join it says server unreachable

[quick sequoia]

Hello. I'm owner of the server. Can I create competition with money prize? Or its disallowed by Reforger rules and policy?

[winter zephyr]

If you are trying to access the server from within your LAN and using the default settings, it is probably set to use your external IP, which isn't valid. You probably need to set a loopback.

[rancid scarab]

Can we go to DMs?

@winter zephyr

[winter zephyr]

Would rather not, sorry.

[slow pagoda]

You would have to be approved by the monetization department.

You can email [e-mail]

I recall typically it's not allowed though.

[unborn totem]

Anyone know of any mods that allow more day bags/rucks, as much as I love to be like the youngsters with the stuff they wear for an hour I’d rather do what I love and carry all my crap on my back for a few days to a couple weeks, if anyone knows of any mods that provide more than the RHS bags n bass game ruck and could lend me a hand I’d love that

Hello good people of Arma.
Has anyone had success in setting up a racing wheel in Reforger?

[trail hamlet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSAibmUTpNY
This might help

[fossil condor]

Anyone know how I can figure out whats crashing my game from the log files?

[trail hamlet]

Do you get the crash window? If you scroll there there will be one line with "reason"

[fossil condor]

Nope dont get that anymore

the last lines in error.log and console.log also dont seem to indicate anything obvious

[trail hamlet]

That is suboptimal, how often does it crash and what you are doing when it crashes?

[fossil condor]

Crashes literally anytime it goes to load anything

be it a mission or multiplayer or scenario, I managed to load into the first mission cutscene, as soon as I skipped it, the game crashed

used to be able to play the game just fine before this last update

[rustic stream]

Muff you legend, thank you.

[trail hamlet]

You might have to wait for some fixes from devs, only advice i got is to reinstal everything

[fossil condor]

Already reinstalled everything

[trail hamlet]

I am afraid there is nothing that can be done i would know of. Either have to wait for someone more competent, or ultimately wait for a hotfix. Given the lack of responses here, my hopes are not too high for anyone to know how to help at this point.

[dawn robin]

Thank you

[real girder]

I was thinking of getting this game but had a question.

Is high ping very noticeable? Talking about like 120-140 ms, I play lots of games around that ping and it's not much of a problem so I was wondering if it's much of an impact in this game.

[winter zephyr]

It can have an impact but it isn't as bad as a more fast paced, super competitive shooter. I play at higher ping sometimes and it is fine for me.

[tepid torrent]

I play 300+ ping, the slower paced nature of milsim makes it much less noticeable, more so a problem with vehicle lagg

[real girder]

Thank you. 🫡

[terse cloak]

The reason ppl are saying this is because at 40 ms you start noticing desync and hitreg

[trail hamlet]

120ms is normal for europe players when they play on american servers or vice versa

[reef loom]

role back your drivers.

[worldly flame]

100ms i don't really notice it except for getting blasted in CQB by players with low ping. but I try to throw grenades first into a room and ask questions later instead of slicing room pies

[digital cargo]

how good is the wall penetration of regular house in Everon in reforger?

[winter zephyr]

Most houses use the stone material for walls, but it depends on the wall.

Therefore most house walls are impenetrable to small arms.

[digital cargo]

wall kill seems unachivable then without some heavy cal gun which both team lacks/limited

[worldly flame]

the game physics simulates wall penetration. it depends on what the wall is made of and the bullet caliber. if you run the Reforger Diag exe instead you can turn on bullet tracing and it will draw the bullet paths. you can do experiments. some of the houses if they concrete can stop rifle rounds. I think on steam discussion there is a post about it where somebody was doing experiments and found weird stuff. need a WOBO video for reforger really

[winter zephyr]

If you see a thing that is obviously entirely wood, it probably uses the wood material (but not always) and so can probably be penetrated by your standard rifle.

The AT weapons and the LAV's APDS rounds will penetrate all the walls and be very bad for anyone on the other side.

[floral fractal]

IMO the wall pen mechanics are meh. You really have to up-caliber to pen things like wooden doors for example. The LAV-25 AP rounds are about the only thing I ever see pen buildings pretty easily.

You can also use AT and HEDP rounds to pen walls but the actual kill part only goes slightly in so the guy has to basically be right next to the wall.

[winter zephyr]

AT rounds have a ton of deadly spall after hitting anything.

But standard rifles can shoot through most of the wooden doors in the game.

[lapis ridge]

only the 2 story wooden houses get shot thru with high caliber rounds

and the walls on both sides must be wooden

[west fog]

anyone know how to make AI stay in their vehicle ?
like crewmans in IFVs and APCs

[bleak zealot]

Okay, I'm not sure where exactly to ask this. I've already found something about it online, but I wanted to ask here again.

How do I change the location where the mods are downloaded?

[slow pagoda]

startup parameters

there is a wikipage

[bleak zealot]

could you sen a link to that wikipage ?
maybe i need just some time to really understand what it says .

[slow pagoda]

sorry dont have it at hand

but if you put reforger startup parameters wiki into google it will likely pop up

[calm willow]

Does anyone know why when i join any match my fps is 15 even though i run a 60 fps most of the time.

[cinder oyster]

Im having this constant issue where i have mods of other servers and cant join another then cus the data doesnt match, but ive got no clue how to just set it up as to where i can just join, or atleast without having to delete all the mods then redownload them to join a server (i play on different servers)

anyone got a way they do it, or am i overlooking something quite easy

[worldly flame]

anyone else feeling like the 50cal on top of humvee is hella weak?

soviet rocket mi8 rocketed the shit out of main base and then proceeded to hover slowly and shoot its front gun. I got in abandoned humvee with 50 cal. and unloaded a full box into the front of the hovering mi8 at like maybe 100m and nothing. I swayed back and forth across the cockpit. not even catch on fire. I was like how in the hell did that do nothing with big ass 12.7mm bullets at close range???

[glass trellis]

I think they made it so they don’t spawn with api belts anymore that might be why

Desync plays a big part too

[cerulean token]

Yeah you have to manually load it with AP, otherwise it bounces right off unless you got a good angle on them

[worldly flame]

anyway to make my game sync up with server? like I think in Dayz if u couldnt pick up something on the ground, you would jump and that would resync the position

[valid copper]

Anyone knows a good Pve compain for the Lav-25?

[winter zephyr]

They never spawned with API except for in the AA composition.

[glass trellis]

Pretty sure they did pre 1.3? or was it when it dropped with ps?

[winter zephyr]

But at 100m you probably should have been able to target the pilot directly. Or the engine.

[winter zephyr]

Nope. They had AP belts, not API. And even the API belts just have some API. The M2 isn't very good at setting fire to helicopters relative to the NSV with API.

[glass trellis]

Ah yea the ap belts my bad lol

Been too long

[karmic bane]

Hi everyone, I have a question: does anyone know of any Reforger servers where there's no rank penalty and where you can quickly gain XP without it being immediately deducted when you spawn a combat helicopter?

[glass trellis]

Vanilla servers? I’ve never encountered that is it a wcs thing?

[karmic bane]

No, it was only on servers where you lose XP, like Homefront or Phoenix Tactical.

[slow pagoda]

there tends to be less such easy mode servers

[karmic bane]

I find it very unfortunate that once you spawn a combat helicopter, you immediately lose 1-2 ranks.

[slow pagoda]

its probably meant as powerful asset you need to be careful with

[glass trellis]

Yea play vanilla servers and possibly a couple modded? I’m not up to date on the modded server scene but that’s not a vanilla thing

[karmic bane]

Thanks for the tip

[frail laurel]

hey guys, does anyone know a fix for getting aggressive lag/stutter/desync while flying helis? i have 150 fps constant when this happens, no packet loss, low ping. i have a 9800x3d and 5080

i experience this ONLY when flying as a pilot -- no lag experienced while copilot or passenger

[elder ore]

It happens, sometimes more sometimes less depending on the server and server activity.

[frail laurel]

Gotcha. I have yet to find a single server where it doesn’t happen 😫

[crimson tapir]

does anyone play reforger with gtx 1650

[reef mica]

I used to, why?

[crimson tapir]

whats your fps

[valid copper]

Anyone knows a Coop Mod scenario around the LAV-25?

[reef mica]

On average used to get 60-75 depending on the scene and how many players were in the server

And would drop to below 50 when scoped in on an optic

Played on low settings with fsr, render thing to about 75%? I don’t recall but somewhere near

[crimson tapir]

in a 1920x1080 render scale ?

I'm getting 20-30 fps with a 1920x1080 render scale

low settings

[reef mica]

Below that

[reef mica]

Set it to 80 %

What’s your cpu and how much ram do you have

[crimson tapir]

intei i5 10400f 16gb ram

[reef mica]

Alright

[reef mica]

Try this though

[crimson tapir]

I had already tried it and mostly played like this but the FPS was still low around 30-something

[crimson tapir]

is it good

[reef mica]

What do you mean

[crimson tapir]

So is it a good system

I can play most games (even newly released ones) quite well with good graphics, but for example Squad became completely unplayable after the UE5 update. So I switched to Arma Reforger but I also get low FPS in that one

[reef mica]

It’s alright
