[fierce condor]

You can find it in the scenarios section and if its not there try going to workshop and finding one

[silk sedge]

Thank you, and will it save when I log off or will I have to start over every time

[fierce condor]

I have no idea. I can try it in abit if you want me to

[silk sedge]

Ok kool I appreciate it

[ember vigil]

Ay does anyone know how I can use the modded filter in game master? I had got some mods and when I click the modded filter it says nothings there

[reef locust]

how do i know which mods to install for modded servers?

[stray blade]

Auto, when u join

[sterile storm]

It will do it automatically when you join the server

[unborn quiver]

Okay so is everyone having the same problem of getting kicked out from servers or is it just me ?

[worn quiver]

@unborn quiver everyone

[steel kiln]

“Hexcavate.”

[sand verge]

Are there links posted anywhere here to the patch notes?

[steel kiln]

is there a new update???

@sand verge

or is this guy talking about patch like last week>??????

[sand verge]

Yeah the last 2 ones haven't looked through, just interested and for future reference

[steel kiln]

oh ok

[deep cloak]

is there a way to make the game sharper? like in A3?

[broken sapphire]

Do i gotta do something other than subscribe to a mod to get it to work? after installing a mod, it doesn't seem to apply to my game, even in single player

[timid ibex]

Can console play more then 16 a server yet??

[deep cloak]

depends on what kind of mod it is, some mods are actually scenarios and sometimes mods are just there to be there lol

[sand verge]

Is there any tutorials for making clothes in ARMA Reforger?

[half locust]

there are no tutorials of any kind, yet

[glass spear]

Hello guys, question: how do I change the download folder for the workbench?

[grim marsh]

Anyone knows if there's a high resolution map of Everon somewhere?

[mental bridge]

Will locally hosted games or something similar(besides dedicated servers) be allowed on Xbox eventually for some multiplayer shenanigans to occur in the game master?

[fossil storm]

Any more news on 32-64 player servers for console? Seems rather empty these days so stopped playing as don’t want to run it into the ground yet

[coral magnet]

no news, waiting for fixes

[fossil storm]

Ok thanks

[lapis spire]

problem is that we private server owner could give you 64 slots, but the lag of information to enable crossplay on our server stop doing that

[zenith eagle]

No, except pc as server host in a future update.

[mental bridge]

The problem is with that option is that it is on a pc. If we were to use a pc as a server host then why would we even play the console version of the game? There would be no point since you could play and host on a pc.

[zenith eagle]

Because not everyone would like to play on pc. They had choose to play only on consoles, like me. I'm not interested to buy expensive hardware again and again to be up to date and have trouble with configs or drivers. Then I more likely to enjoy the comfort of a console.

[mental bridge]

Certain games have the option to host servers directly on a console or a place to go to from the console which would work better in this case if possible since it would make it easier for people on console to host servers without the requirement of a household pc to be able to host them.

[zenith eagle]

Yeah I understand you, I'm not happy with that. For me it's shit, because I want easy play with friends and host a private game like so many other multiplayer games. I would accept, that would be limited to 4 players on consoles, if this would be possible. But I believe, that's not gonna happen. Currently I have no idea, how to set up a pc for hosting.

[mental bridge]

Considering the popularity the game is gaining on console while also factoring in the fact the developers listen to the community, the chances of getting the ability to host locally, host a server on console or have something to help set on up on it, or both is very high. We will have to wait and see.

[zenith eagle]

Yeah, nothing else.

[craggy pumice]

anyone know the names of the songs that play on the radios?

[crisp briar]

How do I add Shift, ctrl, hold and alt modifiers in Chimera config?

[mental bridge]

If they add crossplay(with an option in the menu to turn it off if someone wanted to of course) I could see a server hosting feature that is compatible with all devices since the servers would be available on all if crossplay was added. I do know of a few games that do it and it does work very well so I do have an slight idea of how it would end up looking like if they did it that way.

[zenith eagle]

We will see... at current state, scenarios or the workshop makes no sense on consoles, when you cannot enjoy it with your friends. No one want to play a milsim multiplayer shooter alone, only if a single player campaign would implemented.

[grand raft]

How much time is gonna take to identify and attack this "Server Disconnecting" issues? How much resources are adressing this?

[limpid plinth]

Is there anything else I need to do when uploading to the workshop? My mission is not visible in the Scenario tab.

[stuck spoke]

does reforger still have the connection issues it had at launch or have those been addressed now? Thinking of picking it up

[coral magnet]

not fixed yet 😭

[rich spindle]

in the first pinned message, it states that there will be no crossplay (kinda sad imo)

[stuck spoke]

so it's true from what I've heard that some people have a hard time even playing for 20 minutes without getting disconnected?

[rich spindle]

some people can't play at all, some can play for hours

[coral magnet]

theres many variables and probably a multitude of different bugs

what i do know for sure is that bandwidth requirements for this game right now are x5-50 more than any other video game on the market. if you have low bandwidth internet connection, or if your server has low bandwidth, the problems will amplify

we were completely unable to play with ~10 players on a server with 100mbps connection, but once we went to a 1000mbps connection we played with ~15 players and 100 bots for a few hours without issues

its just that i highly doubt any of the public/official servers are on 1000mbps, thats not sustainable lol, the company providing these servers would either go bankrupt or have to charge x50 more money for those servers

[stray blade]

You cant 😛

[rich spindle]

I can 😎

[stray blade]

"oh no my pc shutdown" after 15 minutes

[rich spindle]

1. fixed it
2. it wasn't server dc

[stray blade]

1. Nice
2. Thats true at least 😄

[rich spindle]

3. there is a pipe bomb in your mailbox

[stray blade]

4. Thats what you get for teamkilling

[rich spindle]

😡

to be fair I was backing up and you got in the way of the jeep

[stray blade]

You told me to stand there! and you were going forwards... twice!

[rich spindle]

fine.... the first time was intentional

[copper pike]

hey guys I just bought Arma Reforger and I can't seem to find out how to use the scope...
Also tried changing the settings for that, didn't quite work.

Please help

[stray blade]

What? No the other right

[copper pike]

Then I shoot

[copper pike]

i aim*

[rich spindle]

it's toggle aim, not hold aim

[copper pike]

Yeah, but then I can't use the scope, I rather just zoom in you know?

[rich spindle]

tap RMB once

[stray blade]

Click, no hold

[copper pike]

O lmfaoo, ty

[warped solar]

Hey can you repair vehicles and refuel. or not yet added

[stray blade]

Drive them in repair stations on conflict, or use game master

[rich spindle]

they auto repair at the stations right?

[stray blade]

Gogo juice matters little as of now.

Yeah they do

[rose pawn]

how does the mod system work? it seems that everytime i restart the game i have to refind all the mods in the workshop

[rich spindle]

yeah fuel either doesn't deplete or depletes really slowly (more realistic then in A3 where your fuel tank is just leaking fuel)

[stray blade]

Clickity on the "Downloaded" in workshop

[warped solar]

ah thanks , yeh my fuel tank got shot to bits on my supply truck in conflict and some flat tyres lol

[rose pawn]

this only shows the mods ive downloaded while the game is open once i close it i have to go back through the mod list and re enable them even though they are already downloaded

[stray blade]

Oh no wait to repair them in field, only Zeus can help in that case

[rose pawn]

the downloaded page shows up as empty every restart its pretty annoying

[warped solar]

ah okay thanks for reply 🙂

[stray blade]

Hmm can i ask xbox or pc?

[rose pawn]

pc

[rich spindle]

weird my mods are still loaded and on even after restart

[stray blade]

Did you mess with any startup paramters? Sounds like your pc cant write to default location.
That is "Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons"

[rose pawn]

nah i havent changed anything like that in the files

im probably gonna reinstall and see if that fixes it thanks for the answers guys

[stray blade]

You can also check "Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\console.log" it may hold additional info as to why it happens

[rose pawn]

much appreciated

[hushed socket]

in Conflict mode how can i turn off the constant "COMPLETED", "FAILED:" and "AVAILABLE" messages popping up in the middle top of the screen????????? cant stand this flashing up every 10 seconds.....

[nova crane]

legal / licensing of Mods question:

Do I have to use this license in all my projects for Arma Reforger? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/devinSpitz/AiAndEnvSpawnFramework/main/LICENSE.md

I thought that I may need to use it cause it may have code/prefabs etc. copyrighted by you guys?

Ps. its a copy from here: https://github.com/exocs/Reforger-Sample-Coop

I know there is https://www.bohemia.net/community/licenses but it's only about Arma 3 etc. I think?

[languid lodge]

@nova crane best to take that to #ip_rights_violations, there are more people with questions about the legal/modding side of Reforger 😉

[nova crane]

thanks will do it :)

[unique zealot]

Been asking this on other channels but I'm out of ideas. Is there any known bug where opening the map drops your FPS to under 5. It seems to be GPU use. I'm on a 3060 Ti

[sleek wharf]

Yes, known bug

[polar glade]

Has the problem with disconnections been solved?

[rich spindle]

🗿

[stray blade]

Guys is this normal? https://ibb.co/BZZvShz

[sleek wharf]

Were you getting out from flipped vehicle? If yes, then it's known bug

[stray blade]

it... wasnt flipped, stuck in a gate rather

[forest wave]

Is there a channel for setting up creative groups within Reforger/Enfusion to work on projects together? Sort of like RHS.

[uncut hedge]

is it coming for ps4?

@sleek wharf

[tired briar]

How do I fix internal error? I play game for like 20 minutes and crash I can't do anything and I see people playing for an hour or two just fine and im not sure if it's my fault.

[rich spindle]

coming to PS5

[zenith eagle]

Nah, hardware is too bad. But it's coming for PS5

[uncut hedge]

which time around

cause i cant buy ps5 anywhere its hard to get

[rich spindle]

my best guess is in a few months

[rich spindle]

then don't, invest in a computer

[zenith eagle]

In a year, when early access ends

[zenith eagle]

Get a Xbox 😉

[uncut hedge]

when i finished my house i gonna look what i buy

[naive locust]

This is what I was afraid of. Why can't I have a private server with my friends so we can play the game. As it stands now, you can only play C&H gametypes that are on a revolving clock. This isn't fun. I bought this on console with the intent to Role-play a Military Simiulator with my friends!!!

[zenith eagle]

You can play conquest too

[naive locust]

If I may ask. How?

[rich spindle]

bro conquest is the default mode how did you start playing modded games without seeing conquest lol

[naive locust]

I cant seem to navigate the menu. It's a lot of the same bullshit, that keeps sending you in circles

You must be talking about "conflict" not "conquest"

[zenith eagle]

You join a server over the server browser and invite your friends... Totally easy

[zenith eagle]

Ah sorry, yeah conflict 😅

[naive locust]

I went into scenarios and picked "conflict" 64 players and loaded into the game. Once in I cannot invite anyone to join.

[proper flax]

Not seeing anyone mentioning invisible players. Maybe I haven’t read back far enough. Every game today has had an invisible player that’s unkillable taking the bases.

[zenith eagle]

Not scenarios... Play tab, then you can choose between conflict, game master and tutorial. On conflict tab, click x for server browser. Choose one and invite your friends

[naive locust]

I will try that. Thank you

[zenith eagle]

It's definitely works for me several times

[rain sparrow]

Does anybody have an idea when private servers will be added to consoles?

[stray blade]

#reforger_xbox message

[ember vigil]

Ive been trying to start an arma scenario I got from the workshop, but it says Im missing mods that I already have installed?

[delicate terrace]

Can anyone help me learn the game I have know idea how to play this! and thing helps

[west karma]

i'm wanting to get reforger, but want to ask, is it more casual than arma 3? i dont want to get shot from a mile away by a dude thats using iron sights and get 1 kill an hour lmao
i want an arma multiplayer time, but i want it to be fun, and i've heard reforger is more casual lmao

[quiet ridge]

100% better... you get to "play" the game.. shoot kill the hole 9. not just a run for a hour and die by 1 shot through a bush.. @west karma

[west karma]

yay. cause i have like, a thousand hours of pvp in arma
and. i. hate it.

im either getting killed by 13 yos with crazy aim or active service mfs, and both make me sad
lmao

[timid ibex]

Whens the server pop increasing gor console @brittle agate

[sand verge]

when tanks?

[floral fractal]

I would say the meta itself is less casual then Arma 3. Due to lack of no map markers, requiring proper radio use, navigation, etc.

But overall skill level is still pretty low as everybody is learning said things. So now is a great time to jump into it.

[sand verge]

Ye

[zenith eagle]

The fix coming in the next few days. Exact date not given... just wait and watch for news in official channels

[brittle agate]

When the update changelog says so

[restive frigate]

What year the game set in?

[zenith eagle]

1989

[humble night]

will the next update fix internal error on Xbox? If yes, when?

[scarlet prairie]

Mods are being developed by the community that will include various vehicles including tanks

[autumn jay]

any word when we getting a new update on pc ?

[sand verge]

so there wont be official?

[tawdry yoke]

Noone said that. And it wouldnt make sense if not. Basically there will be 3 big updates spanning across the next 11/12 months, that'll add things. Just wait.

[half locust]

The early access version might lack some features and have a limited amount of assets (such as no tracked vehicles). These features will be continuously added throughout the early access period via content updates.```
from https://reforger.armaplatform.com/faq

[rich surge]

So are handguns standard issue like A3 or only issued to Officers/specific units like CWA?

[weary timber]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/dev-report-1

"LOGISTICS
Many of you have inquired about our official Bohemia Interactive Forums pages for Reforger. Rest assured, they will be live very soon for players to share and communicate knowledge regarding the game."

"Published at 27 May 2022"

Is there any update on this?

[brittle heron]

That was only published on this past Friday, and it's only Monday now, but I'm sure the devs in charge of that are on the case, we will know when we know and they announce it.

[weary timber]

Only ... ? ... I will not comment further on this here. I have already done that in the feedback channel.

[jovial holly]

Does anybody knows if we will get something like Truck pulled artillery? Or is that not possible with the engine?

[tawdry yoke]

Truck pulled unlikely

[lavish tinsel]

why are all the servers empty? been like this for the past few days

[coral magnet]

because you disconnect after 5 minutes of playing anyway, whats the point of trying to play

[tawdry yoke]

So uhm. I just read on the page, that A4 will be connected to Reforger storywise. Does it mean A4 will carry on the Cold war era?

[gloomy cairn]

Any ETA until we get a roadmap about the future roadmaps for arma reforger?

[coral magnet]

nobody knows anything about arma4 other htan it using the same engine as reforger

[tawdry yoke]

Read the FAQ on the website

[coral magnet]

the roadmap for reforger is to fix the server/connection bugs and add some content once per quarter. tracker vehicles, helicopters, not much else is known

[tawdry yoke]

Not to be a hater, but personally I hope there will be a time jump, cause after all that time playing with CW era stuff, a change would be very nice.

You got Humvees, BTRs and everything, that could easily be transferred to it if it was 10-20 years later

[zenith eagle]

For me it's a good era. Don't need future gadgets or guns like other modern shooters (Battlefield, Call of Duty, etc.). Arma is boots on the ground.

[tawdry yoke]

Me neither, just that i dont want it to be the same era, a bit later would be very nice

[polar glade]

Is there any information when the next update will be?

It seems that they wrote here that a lot will be fixed. I'm looking forward to this moment.

[zenith eagle]

Everything is better than world war shooter, I don't want to see this era anymore 😅

[zenith eagle]

Round about this week, we all waiting for more informations...

[tawdry yoke]

Id love to see modern, but taking it from the wording on the website, it seems A4 will be set right in the Reforger era or right after it. At least the story is connected.

[zenith eagle]

Yeah, I think too. I like it. 😁

[tawdry yoke]

Ya know, they should at least offer some base stuff for modders to sucessfuly make modern era stuff. The possibility for Night Vision for example

[karmic remnant]

There was Basic nightvision Equipment during the Cold war. But i get what you mean.

[silk sedge]

That’s not a road map

[tawdry yoke]

Yeah. They dont even need to make NVGs. Just a Night vision overlay, like they had in A3.

[hushed socket]

please no.
i hope not, haha

[tawdry yoke]

What, why?

[hushed socket]

because if its brought halfassed into the vanilla game, people/servers will use it.
and i wouldnt want that. id rather have no NVGs at all before that.
they should do it right or not at all.

[tawdry yoke]

I literally said the system for Night Vision. In Enfusion. So modders can make NVGs.

[hushed socket]

yeah

like in A3

[sonic thorn]

i think no NV makes the game fun

I don't think there was anything wrong with arma 3 NV though

[tawdry yoke]

Guys im talking about a base system, that modders can use😂

[errant scarab]

Session errors fixed yet ?

[high rune]

It's true that the stock game needs to support some baseline of technology for modding

E.g. if the stock game had no thermals, then every modder who wanted to add thermals would need to mod in all the textures and thermal behaviors (things heating up; cooling down) in the game world

We'd end up with 10 different incompatible implementations with varying levels of realism and detail

[tawdry yoke]

This could perhaps be a thing for Enfusion, but i have no idea

[lucid scaffold]

I hope so too

not sure could be i'm too lazy to check lol

[gusty prairie]

Ctrl+F - Type "Server Issues" in multiple chats. Your question has been answered and is answered MULTIPLE times a day.

If you come back to the discord server and they're fixed, you will ALSO know by doing 1 minute of sleuthing.

[leaden quest]

Is there a way to find out the required rank for vehicles in the conflict gamemode?

[near flare]

My single player games are not saving properly and when I restart the game all progress is gone. Does anyone else have this issue?

[stray blade]

Everyone, they are saving allright, just not loading.

[near flare]

Where does it save?

[stray blade]

Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile\.save

[near flare]

Thanks

[old crescent]

Those things might not come until arma 4, but I’m sure they’ll make it into that game since it will probably take place in a modern setting

[lusty vector]

When we getting the BMP-1 and m113 ?

When will this game come to PlayStation and will arma 4 be on consoles???????

[old zinc]

i would assume arma 4 would be on consoles, reforger is like the test of armas new engine, allowing the community to already build a portfolio of mods and using it to iron out a lot of bugs beforehand, so since reforger is on concole then arma 4 should be too

[frosty barn]

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if it’s possible to turn off the map marker when using Gamemaster in solo play?

[scarlet prairie]

Does anyone know if there is a visual tutorial for creating vehicles? I'm having trouble with the written guide... I already have my mesh, the different parts (headlights, windows...).

[pallid crag]

When Is Player Hosting going to be available

I don't want to go through a lengthy setup process for a small op

[sand verge]

Will this game have something like the Eden editor from arma 3 and wll the AI get improved?

[restive kindle]

yes

Any news on the upcoming updates resolving server issues? i haven't touched this discord in a few days anything new

[zenith eagle]

No, but it should come into next few days... Most probably this week

[round willow]

Next update is for audio or something, I don’t think their fixing the servers in that one

[onyx imp]

Will we be getting any content with the upcoming patch or is it purely going to be focused on fixing the netcode issues?

[zenith eagle]

No content until the most big issues are fixed

[zenith eagle]

We don't know exactly... It sounds like, it's not too far away that network fix is coming. Maybe this or next update, we will see

[restive kindle]

expect 3 major updates in the next 12 months so I’ve heard maybe august is the first one, but entirely speculation

[sand verge]

Nice

[restive kindle]

maybe not but maybe its just an adapted zeus with like save functions and shite

[sand verge]

I mean if you can save and pause in zeus that’s pretty much the basic editor for basic use

I also wonder if there will be difficulties and tweaking the AI to the perfect personalized settings

[rich surge]

I think NV should be added but rare, just like the original CWA

[high rune]

Yeah I was talking about A4 specifically, Reforger seems to be intended to have a much narrower scope so supporting mods for every possible setting isn't exactly high priority

[minor gull]

Are there plans to allow us to host coop sessions with a friend in gamemaster without needing a server?

[sand verge]

Hello! I have seen a video of somebody interacting with a toilet. Is there a toilet mechanic in the game? Does it affect stealth gameplay?

[near bramble]

There is a toilet mechanic, the flush can be heard by enemy and ally players, uncertain if enemy ai hear it

[sand verge]

Thank you. Does utilizing the toilet heal the player?

[near bramble]

It does not, let me correct my prior statement, you can flush the toilet but there is no reason for doing so

[sand verge]

Thank you!

[near bramble]

apologises if I mislead you with my first comment

[sand verge]

Toilet Mechanic = Plumber. 😁

[restive kindle]

the toilet has special properties when flushed, rats emerge from the drains to eat enemy players, and friendly players, although they seem to recognize who freed them, so the player who flushed the toilet is safe

[elder hazel]

can you save scenarios in game master

i just spent like 5 hours making something and i don't want to lose it

that and also "quicksaving" in the editor aswell so if i have something like a military base i can restore it's not-destroyed state from before i made a firefight there

these seem like simple things but i can't figure out how to do them

[near bramble]

No, you cannot save scenarios in the game master

[near bramble]

I-

Why tf is the sticker called that

[elder hazel]

lock your front door

[near bramble]

no

[glass sinew]

Where do find weapons you've installed in-game?

Also, how do you view what mods a server is running?

Lastly, would anyone recommend any co-op mission mods, for maybe 2-3 people?

[deep cloak]

1: almost always in the arsenal, might need to look through all faction arsenals tho
2: when joining a server if you dont have the mods it will tell you what ones you need and download for you
3: depends on what kind of co-op missions you are talking about

[glass sinew]

1: Ah, okay
2: Does it ask before downloading them?
3: I'm unsure.

Only constraint is it needs to be fun for 2-3 people.

[deep cloak]

yes it does ask before downloading, and i played two SCP co-ops[granted i was by myself cuz i have no friends to play with] and they were pretty fun, names are: SCP Island Raid and SCP Cult Raid [both are based off the same thing but done differently]

[glass sinew]

Thank you!

[errant scarab]

any other way of getting a refund other than through steam ?

[jade yoke]

How do you make an objective in game master (the tutorial doesn't show you) as the field guide doesn't tell you anything on that subject. This is on xbox that I'm asking about. Yes I've asked on the game master page, no answer yet.

[jade yoke]

So there is empty servers for those ones? I've downloaded some operations and there's never any servers up and I can't create one (at least idk how to) also I play on xbox don't know if its different (server wise) on pc.

[deep cloak]

well you should be able to open the scenario tab and play from there, atleast on PC

[jade yoke]

I can play them but only solo, no random people no friends.

[deep cloak]

yeah thats the problem, im not sure how to do servers myself

[jade yoke]

Ah thanks hey follow up question How do you make an objective in game master (the tutorial doesn't show you) as the field guide doesn't tell you anything on that subject. This is on xbox that I'm asking about.

[deep cloak]

hmm, let me check im pretty sure i was able to make a few

[jade yoke]

Sweet thank you again,I had a whole area set up and put some radios (to capture) but alas it did not work 😅

[surreal horizon]

no

[errant scarab]

unfortunate

[deep cloak]

im must of forgot, im 100% sure i made objectives in gamemaster but i cant seem to find them again

[jade yoke]

I figured it out have to hold Y (like when you want to order an element to move somewhere) thanks though.

[west field]

would an 1650 super, i5 10400f, and 16 GBs of ram be enough to run reforger at decent frames?

[stiff elk]

https://youtu.be/m5b9nruiZwU skip to 10 minutes 42 seconds, your gpu is better than the one shown.

[brave tiger]

Are mods gonna be compatible with multiplayer in the future?

[rich spindle]

they work with multiplayer right now..?

[brave tiger]

Not to my knowledge on Xbox at least

[rich spindle]

huh they should really seperate it to xbox and pc channels then

[lost forge]

real quick servers still disconnecting people or nah?

[tawny frigate]

Is there any way to get other US PASGT helmets in online or nah?

[flint scroll]

hey i took a break for like 3 weeks is the game more playable now

[viscid zealot]

Not at all

[flint scroll]

great thanks

[half locust]

the game wasn't released 3 weeks ago

[flint scroll]

are all the servers just ! for you guys

[zenith eagle]

Is there a hint? Or what shows the service area? Have you the latest version 51?

[chrome star]

Time for the daily stupid question: Are DC's fixed yet?

Would like to try this game.

[midnight swift]

Just wait for a statement in #announcements or their Twitter #socials

No need to ask every 10 seconds, they'll obviously tell us when it's fixed

[near bramble]

I’ve been here for not even two days and already seen that question asked 3 times lol

[midnight swift]

Only 3?

[near bramble]

you should ask em’ so it’s an even number

[junior sable]

Is there an FAQ for any identified fixes or are we all just waiting for updates?

[crisp briar]

Just spam "when patch" every day 🤣
https://mordhau.fandom.com/wiki/Patchie

Also, any plans for female models yet?

[zenith eagle]

And character editor planned?

[crisp briar]

<dreams about Fallout 4/76 face editing level> yes, would be nice

[stray blade]

Chest hair when?

[crisp briar]

To be fair, of course, some RPG-level face editor with sculpting functionality is a ton of work for a feature that's not in a focus in milsims. But would be nice to have some kind of character editor

[zenith eagle]

True, I thought maybe just select a predefined face. But it's not so important for me.... Just an idea

[junior sable]

Lmao fair. Any known places to share fixes at all tho?

[crisp briar]

Moustaches too please, it's 80s after all

[round arrow]

is there a way to check your rank in-game other than when the XP bar pops up? it'd be handy to pop it on the map or ESC or something

[steel kiln]

just a question,do any devs answer any questions...lol

[half locust]

yes

[steel kiln]

haha ok, ive never come across this yet,but thats good then

[muted summit]

Is there a way to change the time of day in GameMaster?

[stray blade]

Ye bottom right you have scenario parameters

[muted summit]

Bottom right?

[stray blade]

Ye, ingame, in zeus interface

[muted summit]

It’s just the entity thingy

[stray blade]

Can you take screenshot ingame pls, with zeus interface

[muted summit]

I’m on Xbox if that changes anything?

[stray blade]

Oooh

[stray blade]

Sorry then, dunno how it looks on xbox

[muted summit]

I figured it out, thank you for trying to help though!

[silk sedge]

Is reforger a game or is it going to be a game, debating on if I want to refund or wait and see if it get fixes and content regularly

[slow pagoda]

It is in early access and new things are in the pipeline.

[sand verge]

It's a piece of cheese, potentially maybe be a block of cheese.

In all seriousness, just hang with it, it's early access and looking very promising for the future, plus a testing ground for arma 4 @silk sedge

[silk sedge]

Ok I love arma series just was unsure if this was actually going to be real part of the series one day or just a test dummy

[near bramble]

I believe it’s a test, dummy

[tight night]

Why does some mod work on a server and i can join and on the next server it tells me it won't go?

[stray blade]

Outdated version on server most likely

[primal copper]

What do i put in gamemode in the json file config for gamemaster

Also do i need a specific scenario id for gamemaster?

[rose cradle]

Is there a possibility for client-side mods with Reforger? Like if I wanted to lower texture sizes of my game without having to lower my Texture graphics quality (that looks much worse than if I just lowered the texture sizes)

or just texture mods in general

[half locust]

i heard that there will be no server side or client side mods

server mods needs to be the same as the client side ones

[rose cradle]

well that sucks

[half locust]

not really

[rose cradle]

I'd like to have lower texture resolutions without having my game look like a flat color

I do it for DCS (lowering cockpit texture resolutions) and it looks MUCH better, while also loading and performing better than running on lower texture graphic settings (that just use lower mipmaps)

[half locust]

that is why there are texture settings, is it not?

yeah i understand that, depends how mipmaps are produced

[rose cradle]

texture settings just uses lower mipmaps afaik. Having lower texture sizes while having the texture graphics quality at high looks much better and performs better

it also avoids stuff like the ground looking like mud, but something like a sandbag still having really high detail for no reason

[half locust]

that is also about loading times of said dataset

[rose cradle]

I only have a 3gb graphics card so VRAM is a pretty big concern for me

[half locust]

mipmap excluded

[rose cradle]

even if I could just use lower texture resolutions for singleplayer only, that would be much preferred

[half locust]

that might be possible

[near bramble]

you should be able to with modding the game on sp

[rose cradle]

do the tools provide access to all the texture files in the game?

[half locust]

yes and no at the same time

[rose cradle]

also is it just me or does the RPK have an inconsistent firerate? seems like it chugs slow, increases, chugs slow. Not saying its inaccurate, just something i noticed.

[grizzled wing]

I notice that I just did and saw the other day I was test the at rocket when I was using the rpg-7 on humvee from what I saw the rocket hit humvee didn’t detonated but I witnessed is it flew up in the air spinning and crashing down on the earth I don’t know if that part of new mechanic which that awesome or it a bug Idk

[sleek wharf]

There is one hidden bug with launching first rocket, sometimes.

Bouncing RPGs are realistic, depending on an angle

[sleek wharf]

Could be irregular FPS

[zenith heath]

pls dont tell me FPS affects firerate 😦

[drifting whale]

I'm having the no connection with backend glitch again on xbox. And fixes?

[sleek wharf]

Then I won't tell you

[errant fulcrum]

How are the servers in reforger? Is it active at all? I'm planning to buy it anytime soon

[candid valley]

how active does it need to be for you to buy it

[knotty vale]

Wait for server fix.

[errant fulcrum]

Not that I'm making it a standard haha, I'm just asking if there are active servers because im planning to buy it so that i can know how fast i can find a server, hope that wraps everything up

[candid valley]

@errant fulcrum There are plenty of servers and players but currently there are disconnection issues that everyone is experiencing. Hopefully it will be fixed in the coming patches but as of right now I'd keep an eye on #socials and #announcements before buying

[broken sapphire]

I'm able to find a conflict server with at least 20 pretty much all the time, but I disconnect at least twice 100% of the time

[zenith heath]

Is this subject to change or it is just how the engine behaves?

[sleek wharf]

Engine doesn't do shooting, game does.
It is to be improved. We didn't yet get into very high rate weapons (see miniguns on little birds in ARE).

[grand scroll]

Is the BI sample weapon (the Promet) currently bugged? It doesn't show up in any Arsenal or ammo box

[forest token]

can someone tell me whats with the aiming on reforger

feels like shit

[snow fossil]

@sleek wharf is the idea behind Reforger modding that what you make in it can be easily imported/will just work in Arma 4?

[sleek wharf]

It is not guaranteed that mods from Reforger will work in Arma 4, out of the box.
On the contrary, I want to be able to deprecate API and refactor systems.
All changes should be well documented, conversion would be still thousand times easier than now, from A3

[silk patio]

Any plans to make trenches/foxholes?

[grizzled wing]

That be cool to see that as mechanic in game

[floral fractal]

Could we pin this info Klamacz? That is really good info for modders.

[digital moat]

it's simply not a call of duty aiming i admit. it feels pretty real over all.

[digital moat]

i dont think anything in arma has ever indicated terrain deformation would be a thing.

[sleek wharf]

It is in game

[rose cradle]

I havent had any issues with the aiming and infact, it feels great.

except when aiming the M2 .50 cal. It jitters lol

[zenith eagle]

Yeah, aiming in reforger is fantastic

[grizzled wing]

nice

[smoky crescent]

hello I would like to launch 2 Enfusion projects at the same time but I get an error that I am missing a project : https://imgur.com/hOUy60z

[sleek wharf]

jitter will be fixed

[coral heart]

hi, are there any plans to add reforger to the geforce now catalog? And if so will workbench be accessible as well?

[solemn mirage]

Hello!

[dusk moth]

Quick modding question -
How likely are we to get / How feasible would to be to make a mod that makes arsenals a bit more like arma 3, and removes the need to search through unsorted pages?

[sand verge]

Haven't checked yet on creating custom UI, but if they work remotely like in ArmA 3,.. there should be no issue!

[stray blade]

id love to see that too. But im sure there will be something added by vanilla. Cause once more equipment is added it will become more or less impossible to browse 50 small pages to find the thing you are looking for.

I think its just a placeholder for now

[sand verge]

So I am seeing Custom Servers on ArmA Reforger Xbox Series, but have no idea how people went along and did this seeing that there are no rent a servers or anything yet. Any ideas ?

@here

[round willow]

How do so use mods on Xbox? I downloaded a couple and only enabled one, how do I actually get to use it?

[sand verge]

sp only, but some ppl found a way to use it for mp, idk how tho

[timid ibex]

Is the game good yet

[deep cloak]

depends on your definition of good
edit: and good is subjective, for me the game is already great

[zinc sail]

this was the saddest thing ive ever seen

[robust bluff]

Will modders eventually be able to add custom sfx to guns so they all don’t sound like an M16?

[half locust]

they can do it now…

[robust bluff]

Haven’t noticed any custom ones yet but sweet

[half locust]

the ability is there, but just note that most mods out there are released while checking the tools, so they are not the most complete. might change in the future

[kindred orbit]

What is the official Bohemia claim on multithreading improvement for Enfusion vs RV4? I’m currently finding it to be worse in my testing. Don’t get me wrong, GPU usage is definitely improved, but CPU usage is still apparently limited by the same CPU thread C2T1 as in RV4

[high rune]

What sort of information are you looking for specifically?

[kindred orbit]

Has Bohemia made any claims that Enfusions multithreading performance is superior to Real Virtuality?

[kindred orbit]

I found this quote: “Enfusion uses up-to-date rendering tech and multi-threading wherever possible.” Apparently AI must not be one of the “wherever possible” features, as AI heavy scenarios still only appear to be limited by a single core. Any ideas why something as core to the game as AI can’t be multithreaded?

[high rune]

Scripting-based stuff is confined to one thread, and for now that includes AI

A dev mentioned a while back that if necessary they will move the AI logic over to native code, at which point it could be threaded

[kindred orbit]

Ah interesting

[high rune]

I'm guessing that they've designed the engine around thread safety for the sake of future-proofing, and have some existing threading working as a proof of concept and for core systems, but probably haven't gone balls to the wall on threading yet since threading is a pretty arduous process and you don't want to be trying to thread tasks that haven't been pretty well finished

Threading adds a big pile of complexity to the implementation so you don't want to spend time threading and testing (and god forbid, debugging your threaded code) only to realize that you need to change everything to support a new feature

I'm sure it will improve over time as the engine stabilizes, especially in A4

[kindred orbit]

Interesting

I’m glad that it seems like there’s room for improvement, because that was my main concern, ie I thought there was some hard engine limit preventing certain tasks from taking advantage of multiple threads such as in RV

Hopefully it’s just a temporary measure as you speculate

[high rune]

Technically there isn't really such a thing as an engine limitation when you're using an in-house engine, it's just that RV was such an old codebase that it becomes infeasible to modify it too deeply

Enfusion doesn't have that problem

[west karma]

hey yall, whats your noobiest pc server? i'm downloading reforger rn
i've like a thousand hours in arma 3 pvp but
still
i want to learn this game lol

not play reforger's version of koth lmao

[sweet vapor]

king of the toilet?

[west karma]

exactly, yes

[sweet vapor]

flush it boi

[west karma]

wish i could

[west karma]

alright well, my game keeps crashing every time i try to join a server
how do i get the crash log to see why?

ah wrong channel

[thorny quiver]

Will there be something like 3den Editor in Arma 3?

[half locust]

if ever, not anytime soon anyways

[pliant mulch]

Do you know witch Nvidia Driver version we should use on Arma Reforger and if the latest ones give better FPS ?

[daring socket]

Are servers back up yet ?

[crisp briar]

It won't be that highly moddable then, would it?

[midnight swift]

you should generally have the latest drivers

[crisp briar]

Theeading isn't arduous. Threading with shared state is an arduous process to set up, but you must never ever do that. Like absolutely never

[silk sedge]

“Fixed: Steam platform saves are now gracefully freed” anybody knows if this means single player scenarios will now save?

[thorny quiver]

nooooo, the scenarios are too hard to make now

[fossil sparrow]

Hey, so I read the update log. I guess the servers are fixed, right? Or are they not yet fixed?

[daring socket]

No

[fossil sparrow]

Oh, ok.

[wanton spoke]

What did they fix then?

[rich spindle]

read the changelog lol?

[wanton spoke]

I mean with the servers

It says stuff about network and disconnecting

[sleek wharf]

because that's where most of fixes are
It's not like one problem which we can just remove and everything works. It's complicated system of systems, where multitude of issues can happen. They all lead to disconnection.
We fixed one of biggest problem with server going crazy with network transfer. Now connecting to servers should be a lot better. Also, less kicks when server chokes because of other people connecting.
Still, its not fully fixed, kicks still happen.

[wanton spoke]

Ok so less kicks

epic

[queen robin]

Is there a way to login as admin/gamemaster while testing your mod in scenario? (Not running server)

[candid plover]

can we get an estimated time for the network problems or as of right now its unknown what is causing the constant dc?

[stray blade]

I think that if they knew, it wouldnt be a problem anymore

[candid plover]

that's why I'm asking, they might know the problem but that doesn't mean they have the answer, I just want to know if there is A problem and if they have some idea of how much time it could take them to fix it

[errant scarab]

Idk either but they're taking their sweet ass time with it

[crisp briar]

Any groundwork in Enfusion so far to allow to distribute server workload to several machines?
I'm not asking about something so complex as Lumberyard server meshing, but still?

[mossy otter]

how can i play at 2k fullscreen
I change resolution down to 2k but when i press shift+enter it goes to 4k
and changes to borderless mode
don't remember a3 working like this

[tardy nexus]

Destroyed cars crawl forward. Why wasn't this fixed?

[restive kindle]

Why we'll never know mWhahahahha

[tardy nexus]

Haha, yes. Although this is the most noticeable bug

[sleek wharf]

It's not most noticeable. Fix exists just wasn't published yet

[digital moat]

dont think ive ever seen this

and i blow up supply trucks all the time

[hushed socket]

ive noticed it too when placing a damaged/burning truck in the GM mode.

doesnt stand still

[versed kraken]

Is there a way to bipod weapons at the moment?

[coarse saffron]

When is the next round of fixes? @sleek wharf enjoying it so far, just a few bugs/disconnects that make it unbearable sometimes 🙂

[brittle heron]

The game literally just updated for PC, Xbox is tomorrow.

[coarse saffron]

Oh really sweet!

Haven’t been on today. Looking forward to testing it.

[solid spear]

Just a little Question. Is there any plan to implement the EDEN Editor? Im totally fine learning the new one. But i got used to the other one 😄

[humble night]

Hope this will fix that kicking before changing team in conflict

[tardy nexus]

https://youtu.be/FomJ_ANryUk

@sleek wharf

[brittle heron]

they are just making their way to the great scrapyard in the sky. 😁

[tardy nexus]

😅

[hushed socket]

is it possible to leave the engine running when leaving the vehicle??

[tardy nexus]

Unfortunately no

[gritty raven]

i bet one day

[hushed socket]

also, maybe a hasty vehicle evac without bothering to close the door in case of a firefight, lol

[hushed socket]

damn, i hope so ...

[sweet vapor]

and shooting from vehicles...can't wait for a drive by in my underwear

[gritty raven]

same, idk why i want it it would just seem nice lol, also for quicker getaways obv

[hushed socket]

i like to bring supplies to bases, and its ridiculous if i couldnt just leave the engine running

[gritty raven]

good point

[hushed socket]

it was possible in OFP too, hehe

[sand verge]

Did the update on pc fix the disconnecting?

[tardy nexus]

also, M2 Browning doesn't have ammo belt

[restive kindle]

dont expect too much, the issues still exist arnt as common now for some people

dependent on the issue involved as there was multiple

[candid valley]

@restive kindle what has been your experience so far? Before patch I would dc every 15-30 minutes

[digital moat]

i mean the patch JUST came out, gonna need time to get an idea

[restive kindle]

Better. not perfect by any means, but hopefully its better for most

[coarse saffron]

Ill give it a go later

See. Quite a few network/server fixes so should be an improvement

[restive kindle]

they had a good go at fixing the issues, i was unsure of the scope of issues involved until the update it appears as the issue wasnt only one issue but multiple deep rooted ones

which is amazing to think they fixed so many issues, i was unsure why it took so long, now i understand why

im guessing thats why they rolled them out all at once. unlike the first fix which was like throwing water on an electrical fire

[manic dew]

When do you think they will make it so game masters can make ai drive in a convoy and add helicopters tanks ect

[digital moat]

likely after they give US helicopters and tanks. they'll need to verify the physics before they try to have ai do it

[manic dew]

When do you think they will add helicopters and tanks, if I was to say when I'd say beta

[digital moat]

theyve not given any hint im aware of so it would just be speculation.

[manic dew]

Well it wouldn't be arma without helicopters or tanks

[digital moat]

oh i agree, it'll be in at SOME point. just don't know when. I think they have much bigger fish to fry atm

[manic dew]

Yea like the fact that xbox players can't join a multiplayer lobby without it being really large and getting kicked out every 5 minutes

[digital moat]

you think people get pissed at disconnects now, what happens when your helo of dudes crashes every time it takes off because the pilot is suddenly gone?

[manic dew]

I couldn't imagine that

[high rune]

Threading a game necessarily involves dealing with shared state though, because you're operating on a single set of data that is touched by multiple systems in sequence. It's definitely somewhat arduous in my experience. Generally you care quite a bit about the update order of your systems, so unless you are ok being limited to threads only operating within a single system at once, you need to figure out which systems read/write which data and build a graph that describes which systems are safe to execute in parallel and insert fences to enforce it.

So yeah you're still achieving mutual exclusion by avoiding actively shared state, but that process is nontrivial on its own, especially if you want the system to be robust enough to not break when you have to reshuffle how the update logic executes. Rendering is about the only thing that's not very difficult to truly run asynchronously, as long as you're double buffering your rendering state

[digital moat]

Agreed. An excellent example is Unity: You CANT share any thing that is a game object into another thread because it's inherently not thread-safe and you have to collect data ABOUT a game object to hand to a thread to do operations that you then pull back out and apply to said-game object.

Almost every game has a main thread and render thread, and those two VERY often have to share data along with any other support threads for things like AI management and whatnot which of course means shared state.

[crisp briar]

Avoiding shared state is one sure way to make the system robust.
As of shared state, the answer was - and is - "it depends on the architecture". It is true ultimately game gravitates toward shared state due to the changes affecting the world, but those updates don't have to always synchronize

Otherwise you'll be locked onto a game that depends on 2 cores with 20 GHz, which obviously doesn't happen.
Amazon managed to overcome that to a good degree after all

[high rune]

That's true but the fact that this is all so situation-dependent is part of what I'm talking about being difficult

I find it matters even more than on other applications

Generally a particular application can be slapped with a particular threading scheme that works reasonably well even if things change somewhat, because the overall work done by the application is similar

But in games all bets are off, because the game has many heterogeneous behaviors and new ones may be added over time and whatnot

Games always seem deceptively simple because they just sort of converge towards the behaviors of real life, but from a software development perspective they're like 100 interconnected applications mushed into one that all have to communicate in a way that doesn't turn into absolute spaghetti

So it's like the worst of both worlds, not only do you have a bunch of heterogeneous behaviors to thread, but the separate pieces aren't even independent of each other

I don't know how Lumberyard handles things and clearly all the big AAA games run on highly optimized infrastructure since they have such good resource utilization but it's still not an easy task, especially for a small company building an engine that's composed of a lot of new pieces

[high rune]

I'm not exactly sure about this part either, maybe they'll handle it like python extensions where you write chunks in native code but then link them together at the script level, and the more you pull entirely into the native code, the better your performance. Although that only lets you parallelize within nodes, again.

[stray blade]

Is it an issue if one would post link to api-ar-workshop all assets lists?

[junior cave]

When tanks are added will there be M47 Dragons anti tank missiles?

[deep cloak]

tbh the AT systems we have now are good enough but i would love to see the dragon in game, and it is in the timeframe of AR, and it was a relatively famous AT launcher so i'd imagine they would make it
edit: and even if BI doesnt, someone will probably mod it in

[crisp briar]

How come they are good enough if they are for 300m range at best?
Also, by 1989 half the US army was equipped by AT-4 if I'm not mistaken

[floral fractal]

Because right now we don't have anything that is a bigger threat that would require heavier.

[deep cloak]

and even then, the LAW and RPG is more than a match for a tanks side and rear armor
edit: also players can ambush the tank in cities so they can fire down on to the tanks roof armor

[fading smelt]

Any update released today?

[deep cloak]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/june-update-1

[fading smelt]

Did the crashs stop?

[deep cloak]

i cant speak for everybody, but i crashed once since the update came out

[rich cape]

If I buy reforger , will i get a discount on arma 4?

[deep cloak]

nope, A4 is still [from what i heard]2+ years away

[rich cape]

Thx

[sand verge]

I only crashed because of bad mods, but I have been DCed many times

[errant scarab]

guess the update today didn't fix the session errors

[knotty vale]

Nope

[errant scarab]

thats fuckin stupid

[knotty vale]

Its better, but still disconnecting all over the place.

[errant scarab]

not better at all i still can't connect to any servers

[sand verge]

I was able to connect to servers then all of a sudden every single server gave me that

[errant scarab]

i haven't been able to connect to any servers since day 1

[sand verge]

I don’t know what it could be

[errant scarab]

would have gotten it refunded if i didn't spend over 2 hours tryna figure it out

[sand verge]

It’s rather maddening considering I just rebought it after the patch haha

[safe fjord]

Why, why are these server not fixed yet? they're fixing all these bugs but nobody's able too play anyways.

[sand verge]

Deleting the Battleeye folder in the games files has worked for me so far

Anti cheats have always been seeming to cause problems for me.

[timid ibex]

So console players are still only getting 16 player servers what the fuck man why does this 30 dollar game have no content

[old shuttle]

Ive experience more game crashes then server kicks. Very annoying when you get kicked and try and join back before your spot is taken, but your game crashes and no more free slots.

[sand verge]

Bc if u had eyes u would be able to read EARLY ACCESS when u open the game

[distant iris]

its a alpha test

[timid ibex]

When are the server limits increasing

[gloomy solstice]

When the servers are proven to be stable

[timid ibex]

Every time I've played the past 2 weeks I've had no issues with disconnecting but at one point every match of conflict it turns into a 14 v 2 match

[gloomy solstice]

If it really is that stable on xbox, then the limit will be upped really soon I think

[crisp briar]

In order for it to be a threat you have to be close enough to it. Which effectively means cities only.

[deep cloak]

tanks dont have the best situational awareness, and most people using them wouldnt be too focused on checking surroundings so it wouldnt be too hard to sneak up on a tank without any infantry support
edit: dont get me wrong, i agree with you but i dont think dragons or anything like that should be added with BMPs or M113s

[crisp briar]

A tangentially related question, how did they view city fights in 80s?
Everything from infantry with no body armour through offroadsters with gunners out on the open to tanks with no remote control for a commander's machine gun is as inconvenient for city fights as it can possibly be

[timid ibex]

Im in Australia using mobile phone hotspot as data and since the last patch ive had no issues with connection i hope they change it soon

[gloomy solstice]

So the connection issues are not related to internet speed? Interesting

[crisp briar]

So you suggest US army - and all other armies in the world btw - straight wasted tons of money on more and more sophisticated ATGMs for 20 cold war years?
Interesting, but history begs to differ

[deep cloak]

more and more sophisticated atgms to take out heavier MBTs

[crisp briar]

You said RPG-7 with V would be more than enough since you just sneak on a tank batallion on march and wipe them out up close

[deep cloak]

i never said anything about a tank battalion, i said the AT we have in game is more than a match for a tanks side armor, most people on official servers will be lone wolfing most of the time (atleast in my experience with official servers)

[crisp briar]

What I quoted is exactly this statement put into context.
It's Arma. You don't care about missions out of box, you can design your own.
Lone wolfing is a problem that has to be addressed instead of forcing it to be a norm, as you suggest.
The root cause was too low unit numbers due to server performance and commanding UI, among others.
It has to be dropped

In your mission nobody forces you to use the most important AT asset in the armies of 80s, but it has to be in game for the very reason of vital role it played

[deep cloak]

again, i never said lone wolfing is the norm, and like i said before i do agree that the heavier atgms should be in game

but i still believe that they will be added with heavier tanks

[crisp briar]

After all, you'd need a couple of batallions at least to control 500-1000 sq km of territory, if not more iirc.
Not 300 people as it is in CTI. The forces modelled in Arma were usually stretched thin

[light thorn]

Let's say that you even don't care about lone wolves on public servers. Let's play on private servers, on specific missions with specific teams. Whatever the game type PvE or TvT... 😋

[crisp briar]

That's often true as well

[valid mesa]

hey, does anyone else not see the paper map unfold when pressing M in game? all I see is a folded up map and floating location icons on the screen

[light thorn]

Really ? I see the map as expected....

[red bridge]

When players hold it up for me, I just see the Floating asset. But small bugs like that aren't as big as the Server issues

[signal spruce]

Yes, depending on how this next update goes, we will consider raising the cap again.

[unreal pine]

Questions for Devs:

Can/will enfusion be able to handle burning and destructible vegetation and would it be something that would be implemented into Arma as a native feature?

Will we see the return of trees and bushes being pushed over and will it be done in a better way then previous Arma titles, IE trees with physics?

[sleek wharf]

No comments

[steady swift]

Is there something that indicates whether you have killed an AI vs a player?

[red bridge]

No, only confirmation of so is in Game Master if a GM takes control of an AI.

[steady swift]

Thanks

[thorny quiver]

i was wondering if it would be possible to put Altis from Arma 3 into Arma Reforger, while it is old it'd be an awesome experimental map for modders since it features lots different landscapes in one map

[red bridge]

No clue if a Dev will see this. But is their any chance that we may see team balancing?

When I'm joining into a game, it's common to see one team with way more players then the other

[half locust]

directly as a mod, nope, also not allowed porting A3 content in reforger, unless bi decides to do the same with a3 content as they have with a2

[graceful wren]

Anyone elses game actually physically crashing (not disconnecting) more with this new update?

[stray blade]

#reforger_discussion message

[glossy pilot]

Will we get Nitrado Server on Xbox too or is it not possible

[whole wind]

anyone know how to open a map I downloaded from the workshop? It's nothing like the system we had in Arma 3

[digital moat]

are you trying to open it in game or editor?

[whole wind]

either, I just wanted to try it out but it doesn't show up under scenarios

[digital moat]

because if its just the map you'll have to attach it to a mission first.

which means using the editor and making a scenario.

[whole wind]

So opening it in reforger tools

[unique zealot]

Are there any known workarounds to the map rendering bug which drops your FPS to 0?

[bleak zealot]

How do i load / play a custom terrain / Map?

[whole wind]

^^haha I'm trying to work this out too (see above, still not worked it out)

[bleak zealot]

Hey Bohemia .,... how do i dive in the water ... please create wetsuits !
We also need that small trees are falling down when drive into it ... instead of driving through them or gettin stopped .
ALSO ....damage model ... Choppers / Tanks / Arty ... 1985 CAS Planes !!!!! ^^ 🤔

[sand verge]

||arma 3 wasnt able to port its stuff from arma 2 on its earlier days? 😮 But as for how similar reforger feels to dayz I thought that wouldn't be capable anyways as they're both way different engines, right?|| my question is then if you are able to transfer certain vehicle physics from arma 3 to reforger (things like advanced flight model would be most popular)

[half locust]

confusing questions channel with personal request channel…no bueno

[half locust]

not possible, different physics backbone

[sand verge]

also excuse my ignorance in terms of devving as i have no idea how difficult what things are

o ok

[bleak zealot]

personal request ? 🤔 i think the whole community is requesting stuff like that... i know its still Early Access but i really hope that this stuffs will come

[half locust]

please don’t assume things and don’t speak in the name of other people

[bleak zealot]

@half locust sorry if it sounded rude !

[bleak zealot]

by the way ... i dont assume ...i hope.... i also dont speak in the name of other people .... i just thought / think...

[sand verge]

language barrier is a b### xD

[errant scarab]

Have they fixed the session errors yet this is getting fucking stupid any faith i had in bohemia is gone

[odd elk]

Anyone built/ported a Arma Life or Battle Royale mod yet? 🙂

[deep cloak]

someone is working on a arma life mod

[odd elk]

Nice!!

[zenith eagle]

Battle Royal would be intense

[sleek wharf]

There is currently no immediate plan for autobalancing.
If you look at the sides, weapons and vehicles are uneven, South and North on Everon are definitely not the same.

Autobalancing of player in teams may come as option of servers eventually.

[sand verge]

Is there a chance that server slots will return to normal before the next update?

[glacial yacht]

Are people still disconnecting from the game? I havn't been able to stay in one longer then 10 minutes. Was wondering if they pushed out an update yet.

[raven rose]

People still try to play? Lmao

[timid ibex]

I havnt had connection or dropping out issues for a couple of weeks

[glacial yacht]

Lucky you lol

I can’t stay connected to save my life

[sand verge]

I too, would like diving since it existed in the previous game

I think this is more #reforger_feedback worthy

[buoyant marten]

Is there any firstperson server only yet?

[stray blade]

ye a few

[digital moat]

ive been using saving private pyle server

[fiery trout]

Yesterday they released a update fixing some but not all of the backend issues. Most people are having dc issues sadly

[buoyant marten]

yeah dc is still rampant

@digital moat awesome I'll check em out

[tropic sable]

If you buy reforger rn, do you own it when the full game comes out?

[digital moat]

reforger is its own game, there is no "full game" coming out, just reforger being made up. you wont own arma 4 if thats what you mean, thats a different game.

[tropic sable]

Oh lmao

[junior knot]

Any chance hard-coded key binds will be unlocked in the near future?

[buoyant marten]

eventually

has anyone gotten reshade working on arma?

[proper notch]

Does anyone know what the options "Persistent aiming down sights" and "Persistent items" do?

[buoyant marten]

keeps them in the state that you had them

for example, if you ads and had zoom set and max it will remember that state @proper notch

anyone know how to fix workshop file not downloading?

[stray blade]

delete it and redownload

[buoyant marten]

where is the file located?

[stray blade]

Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons

[buoyant marten]

thank you good sir

figured out my earlier question, reshade 5.0 works

[silk bobcat]

Hey guys. how can i spawn specific character when i press play in editor?. which component should i use

[buoyant marten]

tab

[iron raven]

Got a random question cause I seen two different mods in the workshop both having helmets with NVG's attached to them. Now I'm on the Xbox and download these mods how do I use them. I can't log onto the console at this time cause I'm at work to get these mods names but I do know one is a Mitch helmet and the other is a Fast Bump helmet. Anyone tried these mods if they recognize what I'm talking about? Like I said it's in the workshop in game, not the steam workshop.

Sorry had to repost this question here and not in discussion. I wasn't paying enough attention to see this channel for more appropriate post.

[jade yoke]

Any ARMA 3 assets mods out yet as in character models vehicles weapons ect?

[timid ibex]

The console servers have been pretty stable do u think we'll see higher pop servers soon

[eager violet]

Right now, you can only use the mods in Game Master. For NVGs, I believe you need to spawn the NVG and have the character pick up the NVGs.

Im not sure of which keybind activates the NVGs

[eager violet]

Im assuming you mean Arma Reforger, not Arma 3. Yes, there are a few weapons and vehicle asset mods. Im not sure about character models.

[jade yoke]

No I mean is there any mods that have character models from arma 3, in other words porting arma 3 into reforger like weapons uniforms&gear that type of thing.

[floral fractal]

No, as there is no public A3 datapack or license yet.

Edit: Although there is a few elements they given us as sample mods.

[autumn jay]

Anyone else thinks the radio on the US bases got a voice that sounds exactly like a clone trooper from star wars ? xD. Like you hear it every now and then

[maiden fiber]

Will there be customizable chars like in arma 3?

[fading smelt]

Are the servers better now or do you still get booted out for no reason

[weary ridge]

Yes they are better since the update

[eager violet]

Yes

[half locust]

really?

[crisp briar]

Are there plans for making weapons on the mounts replace-able in game, e.g. HMMWVs .50 cal with Mk 19?
I remember long time ago there were talks about such things in Arma 3

[sleek wharf]

yes, weapons which are typically handheld could be unmounted from turrets and used, and vice versa - this is planned for future major updates

[stray blade]

I can already see someone hip firing unmounted m2 browning

[compact bolt]

mounting an m9 on a hmmwv

[timid ibex]

.

[zenith eagle]

@timid ibex 👆

[raven otter]

Does reforger have a road map ,I know it's short but curious if officially adding air and tanks, or medics

[zenith eagle]

It's all coming, but there's no roadmap yet.

[raven otter]

Just all research I found was just streamers talking about mods which is cool but certain small features I was surprised wasn't in like the medic role

[zenith eagle]

The devs mentioned here sometimes, that new content will coming, but fixing current issues have higher priority. Just wait, this early access is only 3 weeks old.

[raven otter]

I'm patient, even as the game sits im happy with it, just the medic part had me mostly just confused. I just Carry extra bandages. But been wanting to build some mission stuff that I can add onto later which is why I was curious what future content I could use for the mission since I want to make a red dawn style campaign

[iron raven]

Some mods work in conflict mode when in a non-multiplayer game (unable to invite friends type). The two NVG Helmet mods only work in Game Master due to being in the arsenal crate. Couldn't figure out what the keybindings were and in the settings did not display what the bindings were (Xbox). Most likely they were for aesthetic purposes and probably has no coding for low light illuminations. Maybe someday someone will come out with a mod that will be functional NVG's or perhaps Dev's will release a crude version of NVG's for the time period. 🤔

[forest wave]

I'm wondering (for any lurking bohemia devs) if radios will have more personal integration within the character model (or even first person animations). I'm making a radio right now and I'm not even sure I need to do some details but if a character can hold it personally I might need to.

[next geyser]

Maybe an odd question that I believe I know the answer to but seeking confirmation, but are the server files the community utilizes the same as the BI servers? I only ask because our server doesn't exhibit the client connection issues that I see reported by some in the player base.

[digital moat]

what server and what is the population count/max? because the DC issues are by no means associated with just official servers

[next geyser]

It's 32 player server, though it's hosted in the same city we all reside in... if that makes a difference. I was just curious if there was a difference between the server files BI utilizes and what's available for the community on Steam.

[sleek wharf]

No difference

[next geyser]

Thank ya kindly klamacz, appreciate the response mate

[stray isle]

Hi guys I have a question how do I play with a friend (crossplay) on xbox and pc

[half locust]

you don’t, not yet anyways

[stray isle]

why does it then say it has crossplay on pc and xbox

[half locust]

where does it say that?

[stray isle]

Google

[half locust]

lol

[stray isle]

if u clearly google it, it will show up

[half locust]

then ask google…

[stray isle]

or that one website called primagames

https://primagames.com/tips/is-arma-reforger-cross-platform-and-crossplay-answered#:~:text=platform and Crossplay%3F-,– Answered,as an Xbox console exclusive.

[half locust]

crossplay is supposed to be working sometimes in the future, when and if across consoles and pc is left to be seen, it is supposed to be server setting to enable it or not.
i haven’t seen any of said mentions on steam page or on the game’s official website

[half locust]

i have no idea what that page is…or how you take that as relevant information. also the game is currently in early access, as such certain things are missing or not enabled

[stray isle]

I didn't say that it is relevant. I said I saw it on that website. But now I get it thank you.

[half locust]

no worries

[buoyant marten]

anyone got a map legends for this game?

[half locust]

define “legends”

[upper nimbus]

Brand new to the game how do I make my custom loadouts for arsenal or for the loadout menu

[magic pebble]

What is a legends on a map?
A legend displays the meaning of the symbols, colors and styles used to represent geographic data on the map. Legends consist of examples of the symbols on the map with labels containing explanatory text. Legends have patches that show examples of the map symbols.

[half locust]

@magic pebbleyou are aware some people here are not native english speakers, and as such, it is better just to ask, even if i for one i am aware what a map legend is

[magic pebble]

I wasn't trying to dunk on ya. Was just sayin

[half locust]

to answer the question, i think these markers on the map are actual map symbols used in a majority of maps of these sort. i am on phone, so might verify that tmrw

[upper nimbus]

I just wanna know how the heck to work Loadouts and arsenal on here I’m so confused on this game

[kindred oyster]

Tobii Eye Tracker 5 is not working and they said it's up to Bohemia to implement it. Will this be implemented in reforger like TrackIR?

[sleek wharf]

Unknown yet

[kindred oyster]

Thank you 😊

[timber sparrow]

hey so whenever im playing arma reforger my graphics card is only being used like 0 to 1%, why? and how do I fix it?

[stray blade]

Laptop?

[timber sparrow]

yes

[stray blade]

Right clickity and there will be option, dunno what its called to choose which gpu to use. You are mostlikely using internal atm

[timber sparrow]

right click what?\

ohhh the gpu gotcha

summary review?

[digital moat]

if you're playing conflict you don't.

[digital moat]

use facetracknoir. i just set mine up last night.

it converts tobii signals into trackir signals that reforger DOES use and it works

just remember to invert the axis...oh....its donation-ware so you have to pay at least some money

[upper nimbus]

Outside of conflict

I downloaded some workshop mods to use for clothes, equipment and weapons and don’t know how to use em

[digital moat]

its map specific, but the ones ive seen have an option on an ammo box to set it. the ability has to be programmed into the mission

[hidden lynx]

I have not played like in a week or 2 because I ran out of hours but I was just wondering if there has been any big changes and if it’s worth buying

[digital moat]

no not really and no not yet. a very very select few have few problems. most people seem to get 5-15 minutes of play at a time, with many also often getting less than 5 minutes between disconnect. Can't remcommend buying right now.

[kindred oyster]

This is great to hear, thanks for sharing!

[ember vigil]

Does anyone know how I can host a arma server?

[buoyant marten]

Anyone know how to unbind a key?

[jagged elk]

yo how do i change it so i can hold down rmb to aim down sights

[buoyant marten]

you cant atm

anyone know how to focus the binoculars? or just random like weapon sway

[stray blade]

Like "hold breath"?

[buoyant marten]

no, binoc blurs

ye nvm, seems to be realism system, lack of focus on movment

[raven otter]

Don't move and crouch? There's not really a option to fix that

[buoyant marten]

not talking about weapon sway, did say nvm though.

[mighty anvil]

Will you be able to freely walk around in Helicopters and planes when they are released, or will it just be a seat system like A3

[buoyant marten]

unkown atm

[magic pebble]

I would say no since you can't stand on cars or trucks. you slide off.

[lusty vector]

Will this be on PlayStation 4 and 5 or just 5?

[eager violet]

Yes, customizable characters will be available in the future

[eager violet]

We do not know for sure, but the marketing leak suggested PS4 and PS5

[reef locust]

anyone have any clue why my game crashes when i try to play rush reforged or any modded server?

[honest swallow]

Yeah, connect to a vanilla server then try again. should fix

[zenith eagle]

@lusty vector PS4 probably not because hardware limitations, but PS5 sometimes after leaving early access

[fossil sparrow]

I can't check right now because steam still hasn't initialized the arma reforger update, but I assume the 256 player limit servers are still not here, right?

[worn quiver]

Correct

[drifting bloom]

In the tools, I dont have Capture and Hold Entity just the core

[brave galleon]

Has anyone tried to run Reforger with a i7-2600 + 1660 Super?

[sleek wharf]

You're not running the mod
Also, there are better channels for modding questions

[solid spear]

is it planned to leave serverhandling as it is? because its a bit annoying to restart the server just to change the mission

or is there a easier way?

[sleek wharf]

There are plans for improvements, mission rotation and changing scenario through admin commands.

But, first things first. Reload of scenario is yet another network feature and we don't want it to spoil more, already difficult situation

[solid spear]

yeah its fine on private servers we dont have any trouble whatsoever so i just wondered

[sleek wharf]

You mean that you are using #restart and have no issues?

[solid spear]

i didnt try that but apart from that we have no issues on my server connection or crash wise. I try the #restart today

[crisp briar]

What would be easier to implement:

1. dynamically assigning units/vehicles to factions
2. tool for automatic generation of unit/vehicle faction aliases for each addon?

I imagine the latter

[toxic atlas]

Has anyone gotten Reforger's battleeye to work on Linux?

[buoyant marten]

@toxic atlas https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/urrl9d/arma_reforger_wont_launch/

[eager violet]

Your PC meets the system requirements, so you can probably play the game just fine.

[sand verge]

Where would I find that information? Arma website or forum?

Cancel that, I found it.

[jagged elk]

why tf does my stamina meter not show

[modest ice]

is there no console you can open in game? i need to check how things are working on the client with my mod

[modest ice]

it doesn't show by default, there's a mod on the workshop that adds a stamina bar though

[jagged elk]

whats it called

[modest ice]

i think literally just "stamina bar" or something, just search stamina you'll find it

[jagged elk]

doesn exist BUTTT they have remove stamina.

No arma 3

where is the reforger screen for step 2 💀

[stray blade]

i just use reforger reskin for arma 3

[jagged elk]

oh k

btw what are units for

[stray blade]

Clans, groups of people, like in ol scotland

[jagged elk]

ah. i thought it was in game infantry so i dont get ambushed by 10 enemys.

[stray blade]

Well by that definition also. There is also "absolute unit"

[jagged elk]

nice, but can i ever have my own team? in solo.

[stray blade]

With AI? atm no. You will have to find some humans for that. Id look in multiplayer

[jagged elk]

fdamn

[stray blade]

I mean, nothing is stopping you from pretending AI units are your team mates and best friends... You can talk to them and perhaps throw a tea party

[leaden sapphire]

Idk, all I can say is did you check your resolution. I'm not a huge graphics guy but I know me res was off the first time, but after I fixed it was just as sharp as any other game.

[rancid thicket]

use reshade 0.5.1 and select a sharpening function... or deactivate Anti Aliasing in game

[timber sparrow]

can anyone help me with an fps issue?

[sleek wharf]

When does it happen, all the time, after some time of playing, after using map?

[timber sparrow]

all the time

[sleek wharf]

Then it must be your graphics settings

[timber sparrow]

no

[little granite]

Anyone know what makes sounds quiet when you enter a closed in vehicle? Im having a hard time tracking down whats changing that

[timber sparrow]

can you go to dms please

[sleek wharf]

The fact that vehicle is closed. You can confirm by breaking the windows and checking again

[little granite]

well when I break the windows the sound is still quiet

[sleek wharf]

It's modded vehicle or vanilla?

[little granite]

im trying to get small radios to sound normal in the UAZ469, but so far no matter what i try it sounds far away when I enter the car even if I put the radio in the car

[old zinc]

so i have a question, i seem to be missing an entire folder from reforger, its the mod folder thats under documents, mine is simply non existent, ive verified integrity of game files and done a full reinstall, im curious what i can do, the result is mods wont download, any help is appreciated

[little granite]

I checked again and after shooting all windows out it worked. So is the sound dampening coming from the windows I presume?

[little granite]

have you tried just adding the folders manually?

[sleek wharf]

Yes but it would make sense only if radio stays outside

[old zinc]

that was my next step but i need to know what files go in it, its not just a folder but it contains config files i believe

[little granite]

the folder you need is gonna be like:
My Games>ArmaReforger>addons

all you need is the addons folder I believe, but I thought it auto generates. lmk if that works tho

[old zinc]

ill test it rn

[little granite]

okay cool. Ill try messing with the windows then. Thanks for the help

[old zinc]

still no good, it instantly finishes the mod in the top right, appear with a red X in the download manager and does not go to my downloaded mods

[little granite]

weird

[old zinc]

can i DM you a picture of my files?

[little granite]

sure

[sharp adder]

Sometimes when people use voip in vehicles it dampens all game sound until they speak again

[sleek wharf]

thank you for report, I am not sure if it was reported already. We will look into this next week

[little granite]

so I tried disabling the window components and no luck. after entering the car it still dampens outside sounds. Seems like it is on a trigger when the windows break? Any idea where I could find that?

[sleek wharf]

check this
parameter called Base Coverage

[little granite]

cool, ill take a look!

[old zinc]

so @little granite was able to walk me through a lot but to no avail, it appears my appdata addons folder cannot transfer to the documents addon folder, which that folder never existed before i added it, again any help is greatly appreciated

[little granite]

Didn't seem to change anything that I can tell when I adjusted it. Perhaps I misunderstood?

[little granite]

It seems to work on other vehicles. Still no luck changing the dampening on the UAZ

[sleek wharf]

might be that sound project for UAZ is borken then

[sleek wharf]

So it seems to me as well, that Coverage param does not work on UAZ. I sent it to audio devs, thanks for finding it @little granite

[little granite]

cool, happy to help

[minor gull]

According to a interview somebody posted on reddit they have no plans to add any tanks or jets but helicopters will come in future.

AMD image sharpening helps a lot, dunno about nvidia equivalent

[deep cloak]

is there a way to increase image sharpness on PC?

[scarlet wolf]

yeah. check reply above yours

[magic pebble]

Seeing that we can't do it now and giving the engine design and limitation, will it ever be possible to stand on moving vehicles or inside flying planes/helicopters?

[eager violet]

I would bet on it. Arma 3 has the same problem, but a mod fixed it.

[arctic stump]

My game was working just fine a day ago and now I can’t even find a match and I get consistently loading screen or a complete dash board never had this problem

[tame gyro]

Any vague idea on when we might get private servers on console? Really annoying trying to host game master lobbies when you have randoms team killing, and massive groups joining, removing you from game master and voting their own guy into game master.

[eager violet]

We have no idea. There has been no announcement of the feature.

[timid ibex]

Whens the next update coming

[sand verge]

Thursday or Friday

Every week

[crisp briar]

Nope, BattleEye will catch you

They can't.

[blissful jacinth]

As a 7-year-old player of arma3, I would like to ask, will there be more options for the action system in the future?

Because I found that in reforger, the action system is simplified and many of the tactical moves in AA3 are not available

And more importantly, will we get better editors in the future? (like AA3's Eden) and will I get Arsenal similar to AA3

As you can see, the in-game arsenal is not as easy to use as AA3, I know it might take some time to implement this in the new engine, but is it possible?

[stray blade]

I think that hideous thing is a placeholder of sorts

[blissful jacinth]

oh yes

And compared to AA3, we lost the slot for face decorations

For example, in AA3 contact and in CDLC, we can wear gas masks, but it is currently impossible in reforger

So, I think we can understand that reforger needs to make some adjustments for consoles, but I don't think that means that reforger has to give up what it used to be

I've been on reforger for 53.7 hours and have seen a lot of new stuff, but I feel like there are some basic features that the whole game desperately needs RIGHT NOW

[still canyon]

You can say just A3, not sure what the second A in AA3 would stand for.
But in general, AR is still in Early Access and is constantly being developed. Some of the features you talk about will (probably) be improved as time goes on, some could be introduced, but some could also not be present in AR but will only be added in A4. You are asking a lot of question that have been asked before, but most of the time the answer is "we are working on it", or "no comment".

[blissful jacinth]

ok

[blissful jacinth]

"A"rm"A" i think?

[dusk basin]

Is it possible to put the gun on your back again? 🤔

[stray blade]

yes and no 😉 you can only do it the jank way

[still canyon]

ArmA is already an incorrect way of writing Arma. https://www.bohemia.net/blog/arma-2-the-name-tale

[dusk basin]

[blissful jacinth]

ah ok

[stray blade]

Pickup a second weapon, equip it and drop it 😛

[eager violet]

Thank you! I knew ArmA 3 was wrong, but did not have official documentation.

[polar sierra]

Is there an issue with the server browser right now?

It keeps showing me empty servers despite selecting the populated category.

Am I doing something wrong?

[hushed socket]

i think server filter settings dont work as intended

better off not using them at all or i miss out on some servers that actually should show up....

[little granite]

After some further testing I found that Coverage was actually working properly, but other compartments were applying coverage as well. So for example the UAZ has a base coverage compartment param and each slot compartment also had params effecting the coverage.

For UAZ if you look in SlotManagerComponent and look at the slot mappers you will see coverage for each window. this effects the overall dampening. Base coverage is the default amount of coverage if that makes sense

[grizzled oriole]

Hi all, i 've never been able to play a game without getting disconnected after 45 sec. Are there any hints? (I'm a 8y Arma 3 vet with no particular problems there)

[sleek wharf]

Thank you!
There should be awards for such good diagnosis

[gentle fractal]

hmm so, when I rebind previous and next action to anything but default (scroll) I can't change actions, just doesn't work, anyone figured a work around that?

[sleek wharf]

Broken, will be fixed

[gentle fractal]

k, ty

wanted to ask before submitting on feedback tracker or sth

[vale jungle]

I have an interesting question. Will cities, towns or grids for that matter have their own power grid or source that can be taken out/repaired etc. Like assaulting a town but nearby is a electricity sub station we could go and flick a switch to turn off the surrounding area of lights

[sand verge]

That would be pretty cool

[vale jungle]

or taking out a power line will affect the houses nearby

or at least the ones that are connected to that outlet

[zenith eagle]

Nice idea, but too complex perhaps...

[vale jungle]

In my head it's just a zone around an object that allows for those areas to have lighting

In arma 3 you would use if !alive bla bla bla then bla bla

[half locust]

it is relatively easy to script that in A3

[vale jungle]

I've put it as a request on the tracker so they will come across it at somepoint even if its like modules or something instead

[half locust]

as a core gameplay component, i don’t think it is worth it, especially considering the additional layers qnd setup required by map makers for instance. As a possible scripted feature, yeah, why not

[vale jungle]

Very true yea

[rancid thicket]

0.5.1 will work for me... No problems with BattleEye yet...

[crisp briar]

Maybe there is a way to do setup without injecting 3rd party DLLs into Arma?

[stiff elbow]

does bi plan to add split ability for the inventory, so you can easy put 5 of 10 items from stack to outside, without drag and drop 5 times?

[sand verge]

Anyone got like five minutes to give me the ins and outs on the differences between the personal radios and the long range?

[unreal pine]

Will arma reforger and arma 4 have tyre physics?

[tame gyro]

They’re pretty much the same thing except you can spawn on people who have long range radios in conflict mode, and the distance before your voice sounds like garbage to people is higher on a long range.

I slap one on to use for hosting game master missions as well so I can hear the players and adjust things based on what they’re saying

[sand verge]

Yeah I am trying to figure out the ranges etc. Like if I can just have someone on a long range for HQ and then assign the other two to field groups.

[timid ibex]

Does anyone know when the next update is coming out

[crimson fractal]

This week

[zenith eagle]

Weekly... Just check #socials or enable notifications from there to inform you immediately.

[thick thunder]

Is there any way to use backup iron sights?
I saw a sample scope have them and cannot find a way to look trough them

[zenith heath]

hey there everyone! has anyone found a way to make the AI engage but NOT rush the enemy? Like hold position and fire? So far the AI behaves like this - see target, rush target while shooting at it....

[sand verge]

Seems like all the oceanic servers are gone and game is now unplayable for me in Aus. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

[crimson fractal]

Yes

[tranquil lagoon]

It was a big surprise when I found that there is no ability to enter the Domain name instead of IP-address like it was in Arma 3. Are you guys planning to add this useful feature to Direct Connection dialog in game?

[eager violet]

You should put this info in #reforger_feedback

[tranquil lagoon]

Got it, thanks!

[zenith heath]

Is there a workaround for not being able to join dedicated server from the same machine that is being hosted? Is this intended? Other people join fine, but a client on the same machine can't do it.

[unborn stone]

When can xbox make private servers

[fiery geyser]

Any roadmap?

[sand verge]

Am i able to host scenarios from workshop on xbox with friends haven’t found a way of doing it?

[stray blade]

Not atm

[digital moat]

I think it goes back to the first iteration of "Arma" after Operation Flashpoint. Arma comes from "Armed Assault" which was the game that came directly after Operation Flashpoint after codemasters and BI severed connections and the acronym used back then was in fact ArmA (because it was for 2 words but the R and M were of a smaller font so people put ArmA instead).
You then had ArmA 2 and ArmA3 which would be the AA2 and AA3 since "Arma" technically is 2 words which technically gets 2 letters.

[still canyon]

Nice, someone pinged me when replying to something from yesterday that was already answered not long after that message

[digital moat]

sadly walks away in dejected rejection

i didnt see that was from yesterday.

[still canyon]

Another ping

[wintry osprey]

Anyone else having issues of FPS locking to 60? Cant seem to go any higher no matter what. VSYNC is off and FPS limit is off.

[sand verge]

Will the player count be raised as part of an update or will it be separate?

[digital moat]

thats dependent on the server. we have 64 person severs, unless you're talking about xbox

[sand verge]

I mean Xbox

[pale siren]

[jade yoke]

When is private servers for xbox planned to release anyone know?

Only asking as I feel this would eliminate most of the disconnect issues. Could be way off though.

[zenith heath]

Can a dev confirm if there is an actual problem with hosting DEDICATED server and playing on it from the SAME machine? Or is it just not possible anymore?

[sleek wharf]

can't confirm, please report on feedback tracker with your setup, thanks

[zenith heath]

feedback tracker as in the text feedback channel or do you guys have something on your website?

[sleek wharf]

its in the name on feedback channel
https://feedback.bistudio.com/project/view/66/

[zenith heath]

done, thank you.

[primal ocean]

Helicopters when?

[blissful jacinth]

So we won't get any ground vehicle updates?

I don't think an arma game is complete without heavier ground vehicles

Even a reforger needs something like a tank, doesn't it?

[zenith heath]

who said that?

[sand verge]

BI did

[blissful jacinth]

I saw related announcements on the Internet

[sand verge]

But I’d say that modders will definitely add vehicles of their own

[zenith heath]

Are you sure? I am yet to see official statement about this... Can you be so kind to provide a source please?

[blissful jacinth]

I can't send pictures

[zenith heath]

there is nothing about that in dev blogs etc... ?

[gloomy solstice]

The source is a translated interview for (gamestar?) with the reforger project lead, so I don't really know if it was translated properly

[blissful jacinth]

But you gotta know, if it's true I think it sucks because there has to be something official to give modders as examples

If the official does not make vehicles such as tanks, what is the modder's template?

[zenith heath]

Mhm well there still is a big IF so I would treat this as speculation until hard official info comes.

[gloomy solstice]

If tanks aren't gonna be in vanilla, then the m113 I think will be, so we will get a template for tracked vehicles, which means tanks

[blissful jacinth]

Imagine: 1989 Cold War, but BTR vs Humvee

[tribal dust]

Dayz has heli's created by modders, without any examples. So i would not worry about that

[zenith heath]

oh ok I found the said interview

[blissful jacinth]

Even one or two tanks, we need templates like that

[sand verge]

I think dayz got a lot more freedom when it came to modding

I think for reforger there needs to be something like a tank in the game files for modders to use

[blissful jacinth]

My idea is that our community is currently facing a new engine, and a beta game, so first of all we need a good foundation, whether it's the engine or the game itself

And a lot of basic content that can support our creation on top of it

But the problem is that the lack of basic content leads to bottlenecks in creation

Go check out A3, official assets are an integral part of how it can live on mods for so long

You can't expect everyone to make RHS and Niarms

[tribal dust]

nah we just expect Red Hammer Studios to create RHS 🙂 not everyone

[blissful jacinth]

hahahahahaha

Yes, but I mean, not everyone can spend a lot of time making their own assets, we desperately need official assets as a complement

[scarlet wolf]

The interview was about tanks specifically. There are other ground vehicles

[half locust]

if you expect us to create the same amount of content as in a3, don’t

[blissful jacinth]

We are now overly relying on modders from A3, but have we thought that there are preconditions for the growth of A3?

[tribal dust]

To be honest, i personaly have zero expectations.. so anything we get is fine by me

[half locust]

the engine and its tools are new to everyone, A3 modders or not

[blissful jacinth]

I understand, I'm just giving an example 😄

[half locust]

we already have some sort of small addon that will keep on growing for reforger

[blissful jacinth]

This also applies to new modders, we can't rely on them all the time

Yes, RHS also has a reforger version, but the current game content is not enough to support the development of large mods

[tribal dust]

Well thank you for that, im just happy to see all the cool stuff modders are already making with the tools they have now. It really baffles me the rate at which new mods are released. Sure they might not all be of the high quality we are treated in with some of the bigger A3 mods. But man this has a lot of potential

[blissful jacinth]

Including reload animations, model files, detailing, and project types, which are all we need now

I'm glad to see RHS make an adjustable sight

And I really hope the gun mod system can do better than Dayz

[tribal dust]

with the new animation editor i think modders can actually create any kind of animation they want to have. So there is more flexibility now then in A3

[blissful jacinth]

Recall that the A3 even has only one reload animation

[tribal dust]

and that animation was used for every reload ^^

[blissful jacinth]

The best reload animations I've come across are in Niarms and the CDLC

and RHS, but RHS's machine gun reload animation is not well done

I didn't see a good PK machine gun reload animation until the DLC of Cold War Germany came out

Until now, many mods for A3 as well as CLDC's machine gun sights were not adjustable

Ah and....and Dead zone

We lost Dead zone type free aim

This is what saddens me the most

We now have to keep the gun in the center of the screen all the time like a mainstream shooter

But do you remember that aiming for dead zones is a tradition in the arma series? ? ? ? ? ?

It even goes back to the ...... OFP era! ! !

[compact bolt]

so make a convincing argument for it. "it was in old arma" isn't sufficient

[zenith eagle]

Welcome to year 2022...

[blissful jacinth]

let's play with the new arma

[blissful jacinth]

"Oh gosh, we lost sighting dead zones and....and tanks"

[blissful jacinth]

"But we got the jump"

[zenith heath]

As much as I love the arma series and I've been playing since the beginning - dead zone aiming was kinda meh always.. It did not provide nothing at least for me...

[blissful jacinth]

But it is undeniable that this is indeed a unique way of aiming, isn't it? and allows you to do some subtle actions

[zenith eagle]

@blissful jacinth it's your problem, not mine... calm down.

[zenith heath]

Just because something is unique does not mean it is useful or needed in the first place - as per my opinion and experience with the series that is.

[blissful jacinth]

;D ok sry

[compact bolt]

it does add an interesting slight feeling of being in control of your arms in a way that you don't usually get in an fps. but really it's not worth re-implementing. it'd be especially useless and kind of frustrating without a crosshair

[blissful jacinth]

You know, I'm like an old-school gamer, complaining here...

[compact bolt]

i started in ofp too

[blissful jacinth]

im sry about that

[zenith heath]

I am not saying that deadzone aiming should not make a come back or whatever... It is just I do not really care about it personally and everyone I know playing this game feels the same (around 20ppl)... I definitely appreciate the immersion it brings though...

I can agree that it wouldn't have been a problem if it is a on/off switch as in Arma 3. If you like it you use it, if you do not - you don't.

Following this logic I can understand your frustration, Richter.

[blissful jacinth]

You know, in the old arma, when using the aiming dead zone, I could tell where my bullet would hit by the direction the muzzle was pointing.

[blissful jacinth]

That's all I want to say

[zenith heath]

Of course, but that is still how the game works - bullets go where muzzle points. It is just that muzzle and camera are working together instead of being independent.

[blissful jacinth]

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1A64y1y7m3?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0

Check out this video if you have time, this is an arma player I know who is good at using aim dead zones

[zenith heath]

what the hell is this website? I'm not opening that... 😄

[blissful jacinth]

;D this site may only be open in asia, my bad, I'll try to find the youtube version

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHvAsFCGu7w

[zenith heath]

yup it has it's draw dead zone aiming I get that

[blissful jacinth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r85_ctN2PI

[zenith heath]

can't it be modded in maybe, no?

[blissful jacinth]

After a long practice, he can even use the AK as a sniper rifle

[blissful jacinth]

You can adjust whether to enable the aiming dead zone, and the scope of the aiming dead zone
