reforger_questions

[quiet timber]

Are server issues fixed? Aka can i play for 15mins without disconnecting?

[digital cargo]

only one way to find out by playing it, people experience may vary

[abstract flax]

Why is it so difficult to fix the disconnection issues? Serious question.

[foggy ridge]

because it's not easy

[abstract flax]

The answer to this is still no by the way, the game is unplayable

I’m looking for a technical answer that explains why, it makes no sense to me. Genuinely curious.

[topaz whale]

The quantum router relay is out of whack

[foggy ridge]

the flux capacitor is on the fritz again

[topaz whale]

I almost used Flux capacitor but it's too cliche

[foggy ridge]

I got you bro

[tame gyro]

The servers do not have a Phalange yet

[arctic rune]

if they could answer your question, the problem would be fixed

[ripe totem]

So the arma reforger is the new game and it's different from Arma 3?

[timid ibex]

I have a feeling we ain't seeing an update this week

[foggy ridge]

[topaz whale]

Yes. It is also in Early Access so keep that in mind

[topaz whale]

"Always with them negative waves"

Be more optimistic! Like we probably aren't getting an update this week or we might get an update this week.

[ebon obsidian]

Pessimist is an informed optimist

[austere nimbus]

I don't care if the glass is half full or half empty, I'm already happy I got something to drink.

[timid ibex]

I bet they had issues with the testing and they ain't gonna release an update

[proud thistle]

Crazy idea for you, wait and see if there's gonna be an update rather than just assuming stuff

[foggy ridge]

crazy

[shut edge]

yooo! saw there was an update coming, will this fix the server disconnects? This game is mad fun, excited to see it when its stable

[stray blade]

Most likely no. But maybe yes for some. Vics shouldnt lag anymore, judging by patch notes.

[shut edge]

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the notes. Ill give it a shot when it updates. Thanks yall

[tame mural]

Fixed: Mods should be now downloaded for hovered-over servers; this should prevent crashes from missing mods when joining
?

[foggy ridge]

ye I thought that looked weird

[languid basin]

AYO I need the new update

Hand it tf over

[austere nimbus]

it got released a few hours ago...

[languid basin]

For Xbox ?

Because there is still no 32 servers no modded private servers no nothin it’s all the same

[austere nimbus]

Xbox is tomorrow (see update log)

and 32 players is still not working (as explained in the update log)

[languid basin]

I’m the dev report it was saying that it’s coming with everything tomorrow

[zenith eagle]

Not true... This discussion we had already at #reforger_xbox

[austere nimbus]

read this: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/june-update-29
and no, the dev report said they would update the logging part, so they can see what the issue is

[fathom totem]

i got a question, is it possible to make a tank as a mod right now? i have cool project in my mind with interactable interior abrams but it would look more cooler in reforger than in arma 3

[foggy ridge]

probably minus tracks

we dont have a tracked vehicle to use as a template

[fathom totem]

is it planned? or nah?

[foggy ridge]

no idea

[fathom totem]

reforger looks pretty good for me but the question is how it would look in modern way?

[foggy ridge]

the same, but modern

[fathom totem]

yup, you got a point

[foggy ridge]

probably dont mess with tracked veh until there is one in the game

[fathom totem]

but i mean like A10 in the skies with f-18 fights, warships and submarines big enough to fight on the seas, armored vehicles and tanks and stuff like that

[fathom totem]

i guess i need to use tracks as a static mesh, as a part of the vehicle model

[foggy ridge]

yeah but not animated/reacting to environment would just look goofy with this engine

you can probably raycast to ground for every piece of track and move it around but i would wait for something official first

[fathom totem]

wait... is it me or there was something like mods compatibility with arma 3?

just asking cause i have something in memory about that

[foggy ridge]

dont know about that 😦

[fathom totem]

yup then it was just me

and one more question

reforger is just something like "intro" to the arma 4?

[foggy ridge]

maybe? a way to test drive the environment... someone will correct me if I'm wrong - reforger is its own game right now

[fathom totem]

in my opinion it looks like a too early access, its fun but i spotted a lot of bugs

and i think that workshop on the steam would be better than in game, like arma 3 has

[foggy ridge]

separate means more control, it is largely a good thing

I forgot what the arguments were

[slow pagoda]

in a nutshell, that

[tame mural]

Workshop is multi-platform now. Steam one would not work on consoles.

[austere nimbus]

Not to mention that Steam Workshop is not managed at all... And Valve doesn't care about hosting illegal content on their network...

Although the best feature with Enfusion is that's possible to 1) get modlists in-game and 2) download mods when joining a server (without closing the game)

[glass grove]

Does Bohemnia crossover bans?

[half locust]

details on what are you referring

[glass grove]

Im banned in Arma 3 and i have some battleye errors in reforger and Arma 2 OA

but like i can play the game but battleye doesnt initialize so im not sure if im crossover banned or not

[glass grove]

By Battleye on behalf of the game developers

[half locust]

hmmm, maybe @oak halo can answer that, i have no idea. In theory it should be game ban, unless worse

[glass grove]

Yea i mean Arma 3 i have game ban

But im not sure if battleye is working on my other arma games because it always says battleye couldnt initialize with a random error code

error code : ¼æ
ç
fç
’ç
.

[oak halo]

I don't think you are cross-banned, but also be sure to install/update BE for A2OA - its latest game DLL had issues iirc

[glass grove]

how do i update it?

just uninstall battleye install battleye?

Does it help if i send you my battleye global ban id?

[oak halo]

negative
just uninstall it and install it from their website I suppose

[glass grove]

just installed arma 3 for test it also says now "game start failure. Do you want to start Arma 3 without battleye?" i have this only in arma series not in one other BE game

[oak halo]

start Arma 3 in admin mode to allow for BE installation

[timid ibex]

So the patch notes mention nothing about raising the server pop did use have trouble with testing

[glass grove]

worked but yea it says battleye global ban in this game

i try arma 2 OA now

Der BattlEye-Dienst konnte nicht initialisiert werden: Ø
´Ø
¸Ø
¼Ø
.

[glass grove]

i guess at this point its unfixable

[toxic sky]

Abrams on wheels - reimagination 😄

[timid ibex]

So why can't anyone a day after the update report why can't any moderators or devs simply say what we want to hear

[proud thistle]

why can't any moderators or devs simply say what we want to hear
Everything is great now, all the disconnects and bugs are gone and there is tons of content and thousands of players

Oh wait I'm not a dev or mod, nvm me

[tame mural]

like GTA: SA tank 🙂

[floral shadow]

So does anyone know if the 32 slot servers are coming out tonight/today I see a lot of fuse about it but no clear answer?

[sage vapor]

I literally just woke up 2 minutes ago and I'm about to find out

It better be I've been being tortured just waiting for it

[floral shadow]

Seems like forever 🤣

Actually seems weird and they are being extra hush hush about it..

What happened with the internal testing did it come up with issues?

[foggy ridge]

stability first probably

or i hope

[floral shadow]

That makes no sence the games been stable for weeks now.. for me at least.

[foggy ridge]

u be kinda lucky tbh

[floral shadow]

Aw thats a shame wish it worked for more people.

[sage vapor]

The minor update says 12 CT times so I don't know

I'm Eastern Time which means I have to wait

[floral shadow]

Thats the earliest time it'll come out i think it'll be 3 hours after that.

[tame mural]

it is happening

[zenith eagle]

Yeah, server browser is full with 32 pop servers on Xbox.

[vapid mirage]

All my servers are empty?

[old bramble]

Is the multiplayer mod problem solved? Talking about crash when trying to join a modded server.

[zenith eagle]

I didn't say, that all servers are full. Misreading. Not all, but most of them. Many people are working, so the main time would be later this day.

[vapid mirage]

Any idea why I see no servers with any players? Every server is 0/16 and 0/32

[zenith eagle]

Three things you all can try:

• restart game
• clear mac address in Xbox network settings
• delete save file

Hints l: please check, if NAT is open. Also never start this game with quick resume.

[stray blade]

Also check sorting, most players on top

[magic scarab]

12-15 all servers down becasue of update

[manic dew]

Ok so I just watched a video on a blackhawk on arma reforger I'm just wondering if anyone here knows when it will be released to xbox

[austere nimbus]

Well, the first question is if it will be released at all, and second if it will be compatible with the xbox.
Although most mods will work on both PC and Xbox, so it will be released when it's done

[manic dew]

Ah okay thank you

[magic scarab]

Question, becasue maybe i miss something. Can i save a game now if i playing solo?

[topaz whale]

I don't think so but you can look here to see if it is among the changes: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/june-update-29?utm_source=armaplatform_twitter&utm_medium=organic-social&utm_campaign=&utm_content=ed64238b-5acf-4eff-83c4-8ceb9885b5e4

[calm osprey]

anyone know how to fix or find out a mod that is crashing the game? cause im constantly getting crashes from workshop mods by enabling a few of them and have no idea which one is causing the issue plus its only when i control a character

[rigid yoke]

Divide your mod list in half, enable half of them and turn off the other half, see if that crashes it. Keep halving the mod list until you find it. Not fancy but unless it's spitting out usable errors I'm not sure there's a better way.

[calm osprey]

what im confused about though is now i have found out its only the soviets

and i dont have any weapon/skin packs on them or anything that could physically edit them

[topaz whale]

possible a mod that isn't supposed to touch them is breaking them

[sand verge]

im gonna get it during the sale, what is an average match like? is it like squad?

[tame mural]

Hard to answer since I have no idea how often Squad crashes and disconnects you from server.

[limpid plinth]

i can download m4 mk18

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2828693543

[stray blade]

Do u use avast anti virus?

[faint bronze]

Both quite rarely, so definitely not like Squad 😂😂

[mellow warren]

squad without leaders

[rotund marten]

Does anybody still play this game or is it dead?

[random cape]

There's still some players around, but a bunch of people are waiting for the MP connectivity issues to be resolved before returning or buying

[tame mural]

153 folks in-game on steam

[tame mural]

255 players in MP currently (181 XBOX, 74 PC)

[blissful trout]

i have a question in Arma reforger when i try to drive any vehicle i cannot go faster than 10 miles an hour does anyone know what causes this and how i have tried everything to fix?

[stray blade]

Do you perhaps have any mods enabled?

[rich rune]

Will Reforger be getting content updates? This was meant to be a test for the engine for arma 4, but will it be getting new things added to it?

[round arrow]

i believe so, there have been a number of leaks of vehicle models in the files, including helicopters. i don't think anyone of that has been confirmed however, though i believe that the developers have confirmed that building destruction will be coming

i expect the content may be slow to come out until they fix the more pressing issues tho

also better AI (and commanding of AI) have practically been confirmed too

[random cape]

BI has promised (at least) three major content updates through May 2023 (the one-year anniversary of this game's release into Early Access) with new weapons, gadgets, vehicles, and artillery

[candid bone]

apparantley the devs are working on a tank? is this true?

[flint nest]

I get a game crash when ever i try to load into a server with mods,

[Window Title]
bad_module_info

[Main Instruction]
bad_module_info has stopped working

[Content]
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

[Close program]

Does anyone have an idea as to why this happens?

[sand verge]

well unmatched client mods will not work in servers, servers will make you auto download the needed mods from the workshop. try redownloading mods and if that that doesn't work try validating steam files. @flint nest

[neon furnace]

Hey i have a question with refoger and setting up a server and portforowading been at this for days now and its driving me crazy

[rose storm]

me too

cant figure it out at all

[austere nimbus]

Did you guys try https://portforward.com/arma-reforger/ ?

[quiet timber]

Are the server issues fixed yet?

[zenith eagle]

Nice find! Extremely important to avoid problems with the communication with servers and so on.

I recommend this or (when possible by router) to allow pcp and upnp, which automatically opens the ports by requests.

[austere nimbus]

It's the oldest trick in the world (already used that website 20 years ago).
If people would just try to Google once in a while they might find gems like this as well.

[stray blade]

But why those tcp port

[calm osprey]

any idea whats happening here: #screenshots_arma message

[neon furnace]

Alright so i have gotten it to where the server show in the browser but my friend cant connect and my server has 9999 ping

[trim sky]

When air vehicle

[cerulean rivet]

Ay yo stupid question but how many meters are there between the squares on the map (is it 100 or am I an idiot)

[stray blade]

depends how deep you zoom in, you have legend at the bottom they scale from 10k -> 1k -> 100m

[cerulean rivet]

Bet bet thanks man

[stray blade]

(im unsure if 10k is in the game)

[cerulean rivet]

Welp then the entire map (going to the boundaries is 17km by 18km large)

[stray blade]

that would be somewhat correct, yes

[sand verge]

Do you think we'll see AI commands come to the game at some point?

Just basic stuff for now and then more complex stuff when A4 drops

don't the ai announce call outs? if so that gives a you a good indicator on what's ahead

I doubt we'll see a singleplayer campaign but I do think we'll get AI commanding and being able to save game master missions

Do you think night vision will be added?

[vale tusk]

there was an interview with someone at BI who mentioned this was a priority

[sand verge]

That's like music to my ears

I wouldn't mind seeing a pvp mode where you have 2 players who are platoon leaders on each team. There would be 3 other players would command smaller fireteams as well making it a total of 8 players (4 on each team). It would be a pvpve similar to how it was operation flashpoint

[vale tusk]

my mod is PvE so I really need AI commanding yes

and driving

[sand verge]

I'm not asking for anything too complex at the moment. I think they should start off with basic commands and then implement more complex ones when they release Arma 4

[vale tusk]

the ideal system is a modular one that allows them to not only drip feed that out, but also allow us to mod in our own commands

[bleak arch]

How do I use mods in which are full maps in the game, I’m trying to play on Zimnitrita maid by Casseburne?

[jade yoke]

Mouse and keyboard support for xbox when?

[proud thistle]

With a little searching you could have found out that that is planned already #reforger_discussion message

[foggy ridge]

hopefully not allowed to play pad against mnk in pvp

[jade yoke]

I know it's planned just wondering if the eta has changed

[proud thistle]

Afaik there is no solid eta, at least I havent seen one

[stray blade]

You need another mod that has scenario on said map. Check if map comes with scenario.

[foggy ridge]

you need a scenario/mission that uses the map

[proud thistle]

props relatively low on the priority list too but

[stiff elbow]

is there any koth gamemode already in development? would be very nice in reforger 🙂

[stray blade]

There was "King of the toilet"

[foggy ridge]

best gamemode, I loved it

[floral shadow]

Will console ever get life server's

[zenith eagle]

For sure when someone host them or cross-play is available. It's just a matter of time.

[floral shadow]

Yeah mad

[half locust]

lol

[sand verge]

what is the point of arma life? I dont want to role play as a citizen in a game when I can just go outside

[slow pagoda]

they tend to be more like cops and robbers/druglords kind of things from what I've seen

[austere nimbus]

What is the point of Arma? You can also join the army

People like to roleplay as someone they can't be in real life, and Arma Life is one way to do that

[sand verge]

yeah I can be a helicopter pilot one day and a some special forces guy the next in the military?

[shut cosmos]

What's the point of X? I don't know, people just like to do some things.

[topaz whale]

So what's different from real life? /s

[slow pagoda]

😅

[sand verge]

north hollywood shootout this sunday sunday sunday...

[slow pagoda]

more cops?

[sand verge]

just stand on top of a ladder, thats what I do in gta

[proud thistle]

Can you be a normal civilian one day, a cop the next day and a drug runner the next day if you just go outside right now ?

I'm by no means a big fan of life modes or the life community, but imo the reason people enjoy it is pretty obvious

[versed sparrow]

Does anybody know the best way to collaborate on a map with another person? Unsure of the best way for me to add roads to my friend's map

[foggy ridge]

add them in a layer and send him the layer file

[vale tusk]

you can also easily source control anything in enfusion, its all text files and merge well

[vague magnet]

Hey guys, just discovered Arma Reforger and assessing whether i want to buy it. So far pretty impressed with the '20 enhancements on Arma' youtube vid. Got nearly 7k hours in Arma3 but mainly in the Exiles/Epoch space. I've had a look on the interwebs and haven't found much so I thought I'd ask here: Any idea if there is likely an Exiles-esque survival/pvp mod?

[vale tusk]

not sure about Exiles-esque but I have seen a few people working on some survival systems + the Everon Life team is building a framework for some of that as well I think

and theres my Overthrow game mode if you want some PvE guerilla action

[vague magnet]

nice. does it have .. continuity? ie can I stash my gear somewhere?

[vale tusk]

in overthrow yes

[vague magnet]

cars etc? or garage them? like in a base?

[vale tusk]

I save the location of your vehicles atm but no garage system yet

[vague magnet]

ahh ok. that a Game Master type on? or a sabndbox survival one?

[vale tusk]

its a sandbox revolution sim

im not doing survival but will integrate with Everon Life/a survival mod at some point if people want survival as well

[vague magnet]

hmm revolution?>

[vale tusk]

yes SP/Co-Op revolution kinda like antistasi but with an economy and building

[vague magnet]

ahh I'll have to look up Antistati aswell.. I stopped playing ArmA3 a bit after Contact was released.. so bit rusty on game types these days

[vale tusk]

theres a few versions of overthrow on A3 already, forks of my original. im remaking it for reforger atm

[vague magnet]

sounds interesting. I usually go for base building survival sandbox pvp (Exiles) but as long as I can make some form of stash box that'd be sweet

[vale tusk]

yep I have an ammobox you can place to stash in and those contents will be saved along with vehicle inventories

[vague magnet]

sweet! is that something you have to manually do or is it part of the game mode/mod? Can I pick it up and move it? and the building stuff.. what type of stuff can you build? Actually, instead of answering 20 qns is there a url or some info sheet about your game? 🙂

[vale tusk]

Jump on our discord linked in #enf_mods_feedback

[spare goblet]

Will there be any more guns added at some point?

[magic pebble]

We don't know

[lapis night]

Any news on the helicopters?

[magic pebble]

No

[scenic sable]

Is there private server support for xbox users? Tried opening up scenarios and inviting my friends to them but it doesent allow me? Checked nitrado but there isint a reforger xbox option

[zenith eagle]

Not implemented yet, but it's coming

[scenic sable]

Awesome thanks for the quick reply

[orchid geyser]

Is it possible to host a conflict or gamemaster game for 4-5 friends (with pwd) without a dedicated server?

[stray blade]

No

[orchid geyser]

All games are via dedicated servers?

[stray blade]

Yes. There is no self host ability or listen server like you've known in arma3 (yet). You can run a ds on same machine you play on, but you need to know your routing well.

[slender needle]

Have they fixed the issue with people being kicked every 15 or 20 mins?

[foggy ridge]

seems to be fixed for me on most of the servers I play on

[slender needle]

Sweet. Thank you.

[foggy ridge]

conflict is probably most stable

[trim sky]

When’s the next major update

[austere nimbus]

Probably at the end of next week, because of national holidays this week

[digital cargo]

isnt Czech National day in October?

[austere nimbus]

5 July: Saints Cyril and Methodius Day
6 July: Jan Hus Day

[sand verge]

Okay, totally being smart this time. Hey all (scott here) - Reforger allows local mods to be loaded right, or is there a mod approval process now?

[austere nimbus]

I'm testing my mods locally without even publishing, and I could share the code (without publishing to the workshop) so other can use it in-game.
Not sure if it's possible to whitelist mods on the server without requiring them on all clients 🤔

haven't looked at server configs yet

[sand verge]

Copy that. Appreciate the information. The local drinking buddies/arma group were having questions about reforger so that we can (possibly) still have fun when 4 comes around.

[sand verge]

Is there a way to disable vehicle animations? For example in arma 3 getting in a vehicle could pretty much be done instantly except for the small animation at the start but the doors wouldn’t open etc. because trying to get out of a vehicle when you are getting shot at takes too long as the animation is really slow.

[digital cargo]

love when in arma 3 just need to tap V 2x to eject

[sand verge]

^^^

[digital cargo]

they should make it hold F to eject

[sand verge]

or press f 2x 😉

[digital cargo]

F once to start exiting animation, second F to make it faster or skip it (and when/if vehicle still moving at certain speed u automatically fell)

[sand verge]

Do you think we'll see night vision in the game?

yes but not googles

[trim sky]

when content update, like heli

[sand verge]

@sand verge what do you mean no NVGs?

[proud thistle]

props night vision for vehicles etc. or a bulky nv scope or something like that, but not personal NVGs

(is what I assume the peep meant)

[broken ferry]

Hey guys just bought the game how do I go about doing 2 player Co op is it a thing?

[foggy ridge]

unfortunately its not straightforward but the easiest way to have your own thing is probably to vote yourself game master on a public server

[lusty vector]

When will tracked vehicles come out to Reforger?

[rapid mirage]

Has anyone else had workshop issues tonight? Went on to check the workshop and it's saying connect to the internet when I already am, are they having issues?

[proud thistle]

Yeah workshop having problems afaik

[random cape]

No ETA given by devs... within two months we may get the first of three major content updates that were announced; the contents were not identified, only that these updates would include new gadgets, weapons, vehicles, and artillery

[sand verge]

there are leaked helicopters mi8 and the schiety huey

[lusty vector]

Will this come to PlayStation when this fully releases

[zenith eagle]

Probably, nothing official yet

[lusty vector]

Will it come to last gen? ? ? .. or do I gota get a fat ps5 ?

[zenith eagle]

No last gen because hardware limitations

[lusty vector]

Darn

[zenith eagle]

Get a Xbox Series X or S, it's definitely worth, especially with Gamepass 😉

[sand verge]

I would get neither and get a PC

[sweet vapor]

but wait until the next gpu generation imo^^

[sand verge]

I buy when I need something, I'm not someone who upgrades periodically , also you never know with pricing, the newer cards could be cheaper or much higher.

[sweet vapor]

I might get the 4060 (rumors say early 2023), will see...I'm still on a 970 4gb 😄

[zenith eagle]

I'm only use a pc to work with as a software developer. So i prefer the comfort of a console. Just install and start a game without thoughts on hardware, drivers or configurations.

[sand verge]

me neither

[rapid mirage]

@proud thistle ok, cheers, been trying to publish some updates to my terrain and keep getting issues, then when I go on Reforger workshop it says the response from the server took too long. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.

[proud thistle]

Ye BI is working on it

[signal spruce]

Try now. Issue should be resolved now.

[rapid mirage]

@signal spruce brilliant, cheers. Just checked and seems to be working fine again now.

[coral jewel]

Is model visibility issue in crop-fields, grass and other kinds of foliage over a distance a thing out of scope for Reforger and planned for ARMA4?

[little moss]

How to get more fps on arma reforger?

[final isle]

When will we get new weapons ?

[zenith eagle]

No eta... there will be three big content updates within the next months

[stuck imp]

Reforger added to GFN services in this thursday.

[coral heart]

Nice!

[iron acorn]

Correct me if im wrong, but theres no fixed wing aircraft in reforger currently right?

[round arrow]

yeah dude, no aircraft at all currently

[iron acorn]

Damn
I do hope theres a physics improvement
Would love to do cobras for once

[round arrow]

i believe they are working on it, and helicopters will likely come (there's almost a modded helicopter finished already) but i'm not sure if they plan on adding any fixed wing aircraft to reforger

however they're likely working on the physics behind it especially for arma4

[sand verge]

helicopters are so much hard to create flight models for

personally those guys who are making helicopters are kinda kick themselves, I would wait until the helicopters are released to see how they are done.

[hallow remnant]

is there an easy way to update all my mods?

[undone stirrup]

Why does my reforger always crash when i take control over a unit

[sleek wharf]

I don't know and to find out please report on feedback tracker, include logs from crashed session

[sand verge]

" -beservice
Exception: Access violation. Illegal read by 0x7ff67ea03104 at 0x400213

assuming control of AI in gamemaster causes crashing

[sand verge]

Im guessing this has to due with battle eye?

[stray blade]

You can try disabling it and see. Wouldnt be unheard of

[sand verge]

where the option for that?

[stray blade]

Go to your reforger install, inside resides battleye folder, inside of that are two bat files, install and and uninstall. Run uninstall as admin.

Since steam forces -beservice argument. Perhaps running ArmaReforgerSteam.exe directly will bypass it.

[sand verge]

it splashed a console when I ran, lets see

[stray blade]

Yup

[sand verge]

nah still crashes

ok nvm it was some mod that was causing the ctd

[stray blade]

Yeah, remember to reinstall BE, or u may get kicked more than ussual ;)

[hushed socket]

good question!

[coral jewel]

however it won't be addressed in the scope of Reforger I guess - too much low level thing to have it being worked on in current status of development, I guess ;/

[paper lark]

question - what is arma reforger :/

[crimson fractal]

It's an Arma game

[paper lark]

is arma 3 dead now?

[crimson fractal]

No, not at all

[paper lark]

good

[dusty hound]

If I download a bunch of vehicle mods, can I spawn them in in the game master?

Or are they all seperate scenarios?

[austere nimbus]

If the mod is build correctly you can use them in GM

[dusty hound]

do I have to do anything special? Because I cannot even see the BI sample mods in my gamemaster after setting all the desired ones to activated

[austere nimbus]

I don't think the samples mod has anything useful for the game

It's more for modders to see how to do things technically

[dusty hound]

hmmm. I still have the best rated vehicle mods downloaded and activated, then started game master and cannot see any modded content in my entity browser

[austere nimbus]

having a good rating doesn't mean they're build properly 😉

[foggy ridge]

I mean unless they say they are available in game master I wouldn't expect them to be

[tame gyro]

Some just don’t work for some reason. I haven’t had any luck with either of the ones that add rockets

[sand verge]

If they add in crossplay I wonder how you xboxers gonna use applications such as teamspeak. because I highly doubt many groups are going to be using the default ingame voip.

[sand verge]

I am very very unhappy to say this, as a TS3 user myself, but Teamspeak is unfortunately dying. 😦 Besides, what is wrong with the in-game voip? o.O

seems better to have a dedicated program / server that handles voip. pretty much every game out there has rather poor voip quality, especially when more players are on the server. I cant say for my self since I haven't tried playing online due to the disconnects.

[hollow sage]

What is arma reforger compared to arma 3?

[magic pebble]

Better animation and worse everything else.

[hollow sage]

fair enough haha

[foggy ridge]

everything that works in reforger is better than its a3 equivalent

[coral jewel]

arma is like to trick you into thinking that foliage gives you any concealment

[foggy ridge]

in reforger, all of it does except grass

[coral jewel]

23 years ago OFP done it right, now it is broken

[half locust]

what is?

[coral jewel]

1. There was no grass. So the user/player didn't get false impression/visual feedback that is being concealed in it.
2. Those washed out, 'poor' textures/colour palette that has been used actually played really well in terms of camouflaging objects against terrain and rest of the environment. I even have impression that those trash textures were like this on purpose.
3. Even DX8/9 lighting, night effect and fog has also played some role in terms of the visibility.

And it was 23 years ago, with such limited everything. Maybe it is kinda due also lower screen resolution and somehow affected by nostalgia-googles, but it was working fine for 1999.

I would say that this particular issue is worse now, taking into account this whole technological progress that we've been living through - it's really bad I must say.

It also affects other games, but let's face it: the far distance rendering/visibility simulation is especially crucial for ARMA series, where much of the gameplay is happening over those distances, where visibility problems are not simulated any better than in other games which are usually happening over smaller distances when compared to ARMA.

I hope that I'm really clear with this. I suppose this issue is out of scope of the Reforger project and won't be even touched, I've got no hope for this to happen. However I would like to be stay vocal about this as I can't be betrayed into thinking that it is not important. ARMA isn't about shooting monsters in a face from two or three meters. Hopefully it will be addressed sometime, with enough attention - something more than putting models in a ground, making them inconsistent with hitboxes.

[ancient rapids]

I keep seeing people saying something about "can't have multiplayer with mods." I have a server with mods running, so are they talking about console only or what? Also on a tangent, so many kids reviewing the game but throwing in "I haven't actually played the game yet..." Blows my mind! 🤯 LOL!

[proud thistle]

afaik xbox doesnt have custom servers at the moment

[magic pebble]

Haven't played the game because probably they can't play it due to dc

[ancient rapids]

Yeah I don't really understand that disconnecting issue... Game works totally fine for me! 🤷‍♂️

[magic pebble]

So to put it simply, the disconnection issue is when the game disconnect all the time, mostly every five or 20 minutes making players unable to play the game.

[stray blade]

Its easy to see, even if you dont have them yourself. If you ever played any public server, you will notice players keep "leaving" and rrconnecting seconds later. Sometimes even alot of them at the same time.

[sharp adder]

Are we going to see an update this week?

[ancient rapids]

I just play on my own public modded server and rarely have others join, but I'm usually able to play for an hour or two with no issues. 🤷‍♂️

[foggy ridge]

if you're not updating the mods ever it will work

[stray blade]

I see how its difficult to notice others dcing then ;)

[foggy ridge]

the dc stuff feels pretty random, I can play a few hours without a single one but then get a few in a row the next day

[ancient rapids]

Not sure what that means, I have auto updates setup for mods...

[fresh pewter]

when will the player count go up

[ancient rapids]

Just set the number in your config

[fresh pewter]

lol

[stray blade]

Up to 64

[split mauve]

when cab we expect server stability for consoles I don't know how it's like for pc but I'll be in a game and 30 mins into it will crash or dashboard me I still enjoy the game but It can be annoying

[tame gyro]

Conflict is way more stable than game master, so if you’re playing game master you’re better off using the 16 slot ones

But you’re gonna crash in any game mode, when I read your thing I thought you were talking about server crash not game crash

[split mauve]

@tame gyro it the 32 player and 16 player matches that's that crash and kick me to my dashboard on Xbox

[tame gyro]

Yeah that’s just the game. Can’t really hope for too much lol. You’ll have a more stable time on 16 slots, but it doesn’t mean it’ll be perfect

[crimson fractal]

Will hit reg be fixed in the next update?

[frigid venture]

man is there something i need to filter to get conflict lobbies on pc? only populated one i see is a 40 man server that boots me instantly as i join.

[latent helm]

Game is dead, not fixing the server stuff killed interest in the game. only like 200 avg players.

[hushed socket]

true
👍
prone or crouched next to a wheat field and your sight is blocked by it.
someone 50-150m away will have the wheat field dissapear from his sight and youll get spottet easily.

[random cape]

Problem seems to be the lack of a consistent cause for the d/c's

[pale ledge]

i need help

[magic pebble]

We all do friend

[jade yoke]

This is do to field of view (draw distance) rendering and hopefully gets buffed out in updates.

Idk about enfusion engine, but in UE5 you can set the distance in which objects appear (individually) so if similar, in theroy you should be able to turn this up for the wheat fields, but doing so may add unexpected problems to the performance of the game.

[sand verge]

what do you mean we have LOD...

we also have this cool little trick https://dslyecxi.com/images/arma/ttp/grass_concealment.jpg

I'm pretty sure that reforger does the same thing but better looking.

[hushed socket]

but it doesnt.

and if it did (someday), it shouldnt sink players at 150meters, right?
but someone crouching behind a wheat field can be seen from 150meters because at that distance the field and other vegetation just disappears.

[sleek wharf]

Problems with hitreg come from desync of weapon state between your client and server. I found it few times, but its a elusive repro which we are still working on.
I think drop the gun and repick it fixes it locally, so if you observe that few shots didn't drop AI, try it, worked for me.
Sorry for inconvenience

[crimson fractal]

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to keep it in mind and spread the word to others if needed

[earnest echo]

Its planned anything about map marks or drawing?

[fiery flint]

Will there be a choice to enable and disable Building lights? So far there isn't a option for that.
As in a light switch. Would be great way of indirectly informing players this building is occupied

[pale ledge]

will arma reforger have mod support?

[quick girder]

its has mod my guy

[pale ledge]

good good

[fossil condor]

how do I enable third person camera in game master??

[cosmic viper]

Is there a way me and my buddy can do a Operation together? Can't seem to inivite him when I load the operation up

[scenic sable]

If your on xbox not yet

[cosmic viper]

Im on pc

[scenic sable]

Hmmm I thought there was private server type things for pc?

[cosmic viper]

Well when I go into the operation I want... it only allows me, I can't invite him or anything like that

[sand verge]

cant you find the Ip address, server name or ask him to join on you through steam

[topaz whale]

Are you joining an existing server?

[cosmic viper]

No because there are no servers that are populated nor are up to date... and i tried looking up how to make one but its confusing af

[topaz whale]

So how are you starting the operation?

[cosmic viper]

we went to the workshop and found the thing we wanted and we would go in and just start it up through the scenrio page, but after that we couldnt invite or anything like that

[topaz whale]

Yeah I don't think you can host anything locally without setting up a server. I think you're pretty much running it in single player.

[cosmic viper]

So how am i able to set something up?\

[topaz whale]

#reforger_servers is probably the better place to ask.

[visual harbor]

Yes 😉

[quick girder]

possible window for a helicopter update

[earnest echo]

Any plans to have profiles for faces and names like arma 3?

[visual harbor]

Wait one. We're preparing the Roadmap for you. You'll get your answers really soon.

[magic pebble]

Yoooooooooooooo nice. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[crimson fractal]

Best not be trolling us

[digital cargo]

[cosmic viper]

my buddy can't join the server after installing the mods.... says it failed to join even though he has them ?

[sleek wharf]

I would suggest clear up mods and redownload. Sometimes they get corrupted

[hasty bluff]

It’s doing the same to me, tried deleting and re-downloading the mods but still hasn’t helped going to uninstall the game and start all@over tonight.

[foggy ridge]

reason is going to be in the console logs

[polar lodge]

Does anyone know if there are plans to port Reforger to MacOS and/or Linux?

[sand verge]

well it does work on steam deck

[half locust]

no plans known. it’s unlikely

[proud thistle]

Yeah unlikely for Arma Reforger, I guess it could maybe happen for Arma 4

[cosmic viper]

What if this dosen't work?

[trim sky]

When will modded servers come to console

[sleek wharf]

Then it's s problem of the server side mods being corrupted or outdated or something completely different

[quick girder]

soon people soon

[snow kettle]

In Game Master, is there a way to snap entities to objects instead of the terrain, or base their orientation on absolute worldspace and not the terrain slope?

[snow kettle]

And is there a way to move objects a bit into the terrain?

[shut cosmos]

World Editor(Reforger Tools) yes, GM no

[foggy ridge]

snap no, orient yes - check out the GM settings in the game

[wooden obsidian]

is there a way to be able to see the numbers on the map?

[foggy ridge]

numbers? grid reference?

[wooden obsidian]

yeah the grid numbers

i’m able to see them

[foggy ridge]

look at top and right of the map screen

[wooden obsidian]

yeah i do that and my screen just can’t see them. do you know how i can fix it?

[foggy ridge]

not really no, they should be visible out of the box... hmmm... can you show a screenshot? you can put it in a screenshot channel and tag me

[wooden obsidian]

the screenshot don’t really help as is shows the numbers lol

my screen cuts the numbers off just before

[foggy ridge]

maybe press alt+enter to maximize the screen or something so it fills up your monitor

the resolution may not be set correctly in options, idk

[wooden obsidian]

damn, i’ll just leave it but thanks anyway

[foggy ridge]

im sure its fixable, did you try pressing alt+enter while ingame?

[wooden obsidian]

yeah

[foggy ridge]

settings -> video -> window mode is borderless?

[wooden obsidian]

nah sadly still didn’t work

i’ll just put up with it

[foggy ridge]

dont give up - try see if your monitor has a setting that changes how resolutions are displayed - some monitors have a setting that "zooms" into the image, or changes aspect ratio or whatever

[foggy ridge]

sometimes they call it overscan, especially if you're using a TV as a monitor, if you give me monitor model name I can find it

[lament sinew]

Why does Bohemia not have a roadmap of things planned for Arma Reforger and what will come first vs last?

[still canyon]

@lament sinew

[austere nimbus]

1. major fixes
2. minor fixed
3. some content
4. modding features
5. more content
6. surprise!

[topaz whale]

Do people ever even play on the Capture and Hold servers? I feel like I've only seen one with 2 people on it in the past few weeks and all the others are empty. It's a good game mode (mostly) but I never see anyone on it to play with.

[tame gyro]

They used to have a few popping but now they’re completely dead. They need to use them for something better because 60 permanently empty servers is not it.

[lost moon]

Any updates on roadmap

[austere nimbus]

look up a couple of messages

[topaz whale]

Did you quote the wrong message?

[austere nimbus]

ahh.... yeah... replying on mobile is terrible...

Sorry dekk...

[shut cosmos]

They're dead because of wall peeking in arma vision

[wooden obsidian]

it’s coming at an undisclosed amount of time

[topaz whale]

In other words:

Roadmap:

• Roadmap

[sand verge]

what do you mean by arma vision you talking about how the game master can take control of the AI ?

[crimson fractal]

Entry one of roadmap: chest hair

[sand verge]

will the view distance be increased past 5000m?

[amber vector]

Will consoles have modded game lobbioes?

[quick girder]

console*

[sweet vapor]

dude, we both know the chest hair physics would cause additional network issues - we should stop thinking about the possibility of it being added

[cosmic viper]

how common are updates/fixes? I.E once a week, once every two weeks, once a month, once every 6 months

[topaz whale]

I feel like it's normally been one per week

[arctic rune]

outside of issues or holidays, it has been so far once a week

[cosmic viper]

what days typically?

[topaz whale]

Wednesday for Steam and Thursday for Xbox normally I think

[austere nimbus]

Looking at the announcements (see #announcements and #socials) it's usually at the end of the week.

[gray yew]

is the game playable yet?

does the game still use massive amounts of internet bandwidth to play?

[proud thistle]

Its improved for a good chunk of players but not everyone

[sand verge]

ive played for 20 min 🙂 better than 5

[signal spruce]

Once a week, outside atypical situations (I.e holiday or required hotfixes).

[jade yoke]

Anyone know if there will be paratroopers added in at some point?

[lilac arch]

Hey guys, unsure if this is the correct place to post this, but on Xbox on the downloaded co-op missions, it seems that the ability to change the 3rd person camera has been disabled since the latest update where they disabled it for Capture And Hold? Has this happened on PC too?

[austere nimbus]

disableThirdPerson is a server setting, so I guess it's related to the server(s) you play on

[sand verge]

Will A4 be designed to handle larger scale than AR?

& will there be a 3DEN style editor (separate from workbench) for AR?

[austere nimbus]

AR will be able to handle larger scale as well, and Arma 4 without large scale mission is not Arma 😉
But I doubt AR will have an in-game editor like 3den, might even not be a feature in Arma 4. The Workbench can do much more, although needs a bit of work to make it easier for 99% of the playerbase

[sweet vapor]

arma 4 world terrain when

[austere nimbus]

when #rules are followed, and no warnings have been issues for at least 1 year

[sweet vapor]

so never sheeeesh

[austere nimbus]

At least not at full scale.
I've seen some attempts in Arma 3 (smushed the world within a 10km2 terrain), and Enfusion should be able to handle slightly larger worlds, but more than that won't happen anytime soon.

[cloud hornet]

Game doesn’t disconnect for me, but now ingame radio won’t work

[floral shadow]

When the cross play between pc and xbox is enabled will we be able to play the life servers?

[cedar agate]

Anyone reckon someone will port chernarus to Reforger as a mod eventually?

[magic pebble]

It's almost guaranteed. Although, it might be remade, not ported.

[cedar agate]

Sickk

[jade yoke]

As we have confirmation from the devs that air vehicles will be coming to reforger (at some point) will the objectives on Everon change to accommodate aircraft, as ATM there is only one airport base on Everon.

[topaz whale]

Perhaps by air vehicles they meant helicopters

[jade yoke]

Still only one airport base, unless they just add helicopters to main HQ's.

[topaz whale]

Yeah but you don't need an airbase for helicopters

[sand verge]

they might add in new maps from OFP

[topaz whale]

that's doubtful but would be cool

[crimson fractal]

You would really only need an actual airport for planes, which are not planned for reforger

[jade yoke]

Would make it fun to have an airbase to fight for/over for air superiority

[jade yoke]

If they don't add planes that'd be a huge wtaf moment tbh, as yhete are islands around Everon and an aircraft carrier could be added for off mainland assaults.

[topaz whale]

I don't see it happening but I can be wrong

[crimson fractal]

Honestly I kind of feel like the map is too small to bother adding planes/jets when we're already going to get helicopters

[topaz whale]

Yeah and I don't even think we will get attack helicopters so planes seem unlikely

[crimson fractal]

I kind of hope we don't get attack helicopters tbh, I'd much prefer if they were just for transport. But that's just me

[sand verge]

if they add in attack helicopters its going to be the mi24V and ah-1F

[crimson fractal]

Nek minnit, ah-6

[sand verge]

yeah I rather them give the US the ah-6 so I can turn it into swiss cheese

[topaz whale]

I would hope they would do the OH-58 given that it was in CWA

[silk sedge]

Does Game master and sp save yet?

[jade yoke]

Attack helicopters would be nice, and one way yo make sure they aren't OP would be to make there gas consumption higher so they only have a limited flight time before needing refueled. Just a thought.

[crimson fractal]

If they do go ahead and add attack helicopters, then they also need to give us AA capabilities, such as stingers

[jade yoke]

100% agree with you on that, I'd like to see alot more in this game then there is. Tbh it seems like a huge missed opportunity, especially with the size of the map and surrounding islands. Mortars, tanks, planes, helios, and sea craft, should have been here at the start. Same with map marking for your squad/team.

[magic pebble]

I have no love for attack helicopters. I still have nightmare of chinese dudes camping a billion km away in KOTH and shooting guided missiles to kill all our vehicles .

[jade yoke]

Gas consumption could help with this, take off from base exhaust X amount of fuel to get to target (plus need X amount to return) leaves only X amount of time on target. I don't understand the hate for making fuel a needed resource, especially in a game like this.

[crimson fractal]

I'm not sure if gas consumption has been confirmed or not, but it would make sense to me that they add it considering we already have fuel gauges

And you can puncture gas tanks as well

[jade yoke]

It's there just super low, ad you can put a bullet or two in the gas tank and see the fuel drop.

There is also a fuel truck and refuel depot.

[crimson fractal]

Oh it is? I've never noticed the gauge changing

[jade yoke]

Yeah give it a test, if you put enough rounds into the tank it will drain completely and you cannot start the vehicle. The only down side is you can't fill it back up (unless in GM) with the fuel truck or depot

An with my last statement I have another question for BI, will the fuel truck and depot serve an actual purpose in the future, or are they just never going to have functionality?

[crimson fractal]

Sorry, I already knew you could drain the fuel tank by shooting it, I was referring to actual fuel consumption

[topaz whale]

I would think they would in the engine at some point but maybe not in AR

[jade yoke]

I know and as much as I have tested it doesn't drop from driving 😒 buy hopefully that get implemented at some point.

[jade yoke]

Hopefully it gets implemented if not maybe a modder will do it?

[topaz whale]

it's possible it's already in but not activated yet... matter of fact I thought I heard someone say that a week or two ago

[crimson fractal]

I'm hoping for that as well, and refueling from the gas stations just so I can camp them with an rpg

[jade yoke]

Makes it more simulator than arcade imo. Thought that's what Arma was, a milSIM....no? I also understand the opposite side of not wanting to have yo refuel the vehicles do to slower progression on the map but I think it makes for more strategic thinking that way.

[topaz whale]

Helicopters can realistically fly for much longer though if you're arguing the simulation route. I'd say the better route to go is to pick oh58 and mi2 and give them only rocket pods. That way they get no guided weapons and have limited runs with the unguided ones

[sand verge]

mi-2 ancient

[topaz whale]

Younger than the UH1 we are most likely getting

[sand verge]

mi-2 too old for 1989

[topaz whale]

It's still used today

[sand verge]

mi-24 and mi-8 is fills the soviet scout helicopter

[crimson fractal]

Mi-2 was produced all the way up to 98, and as Jake said, is still in use

[sand verge]

mi-2 was not employed as a frontline combat heliopter. only germany and poland used them in such a capacity

[jade yoke]

Yeah but if you go off of Km per gallon you could limit the range and effectiveness of the helicopters, also making refueling take between 60-130sec gives down time, which can be used to gear up and position for a counter attack on the helicopter when it comes back. Just saying there's alot of ways to bring various offensive/transportation vehicles to AR. Even submarines could be added for recon/sea attacks same with aircraft carriers for sea to land invasions this could be done for both soviet and US forces as only the IFA are set up on Everon.

[topaz whale]

Soviets also never invaded an island in the middle of the Atlantic either but here we are.

[jade yoke]

There are lots that don't "break" the game, you'd have to be more specific on what kind of mods your looking for. Weapons, gear, OP's, vehicles, ect.

[trim sky]

Content when

[crimson fractal]

Soon (TM)

[trim sky]

nice 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[coral jewel]

so much content, but crop fields will be disappearing beyond 150m exposing players inside still ;_;

[foggy ridge]

ye i play pvp on potato graphics settings for this reason

[light bramble]

If u live in eu u can play with free geforce now with gtx 1080 and better

[sweet vapor]

i mean they could make the player model invisible depending on the view angle...

also: I still hope they'll introduce terrain deformation - so we can dig holes and trenches

big part of warfare

[coral jewel]

depending on what?

whatever, it won't be done in Reforger i guess

its aready too late for such things

[sweet vapor]

depending on if you would be able to see the model in the field or not (for example if the model is in a field at a slope you might still see it from a certain angle)

[coral jewel]

whatever would be doable

[sweet vapor]

Yea, and gun smoke/muzzle flash etc. would still be visible of course - so if someone blind fires with the view blocked by the field, you could still locate them

[foggy ridge]

is steam the best price for this right now? I want to get a second copy

[gusty prairie]

I took a quick look around the net I think steam is the only place you can get it. $40 still.

[ancient rapids]

30 euro on bohemia store. Dollar conversion is almost 1:1 right now

[austere nimbus]

Steam and BI are the only official channels to buy the game at $30/€30

Any other location could be a scam

[sleek wharf]

I wish things were that simple

[sand verge]

Will we ever be getting hit commands

[sweet vapor]

I already thought it could be pretty hard. What are your ideas for this "issue"?

[sand verge]

For console are helicopters gonna be a mod or like something in game

[topaz whale]

I imagine both PC and Xbox will have them as in the game. There is currently a mod for one though... at least on PC

[wary flare]

heil is also on xbox

[peak thunder]

Helicopters will be both, on both.

[wary flare]

i had a friend fly one few day ago

[sleek wharf]

At the moment there is no work on this nor plans done. We may get back to the topic of foliage on distance and how it should hide objects, at some point in the future.

As for how to do it - problem has few parts

1. recognize the foliage in which character/item is - this data usually is GPU only, so access to it means a significant cost for either memory or CPU. Additionally this data needs to be available on dedicated server, so AI also can recognize the foliage (which they aren't atm).
2. modify appearance of object - visibility sounds good but it has it pitfalls - it only would look acceptable with transparency, could be done like heads and headgear is done now, with alpha test on material. It increases the cost of rendering those objects. It could be Y-offset, kind of like Arma 3, where it partially sinks into the ground. Not very visually appealing, but a bit easier and less costly to do.

There are many ways to make it happen, but to be honest - we had bigger fishes to fry for rendering team, so this one wasn't high enough priority. We did distant shadows and pretty good mid-range textures. 3D clutter also helps with hiding the characters realistically.
There is also an angle that eventually foliage could be even more efficient and therefore spanning longer distance which would remove issue partially.

[sand verge]

is 5000m view distance the limit or will it change?

[topaz whale]

When you see the AI can't recognize the foliage, you mean just the clutter right? They do recognize trees and bushes?

Also good job with the shadows and mid-range textures!

[sleek wharf]

yeah, I meant clutter. AI cant see through tree tops and bushes, also smoke grenades. And its actually partial visibility, so the more of it between you and AI the less they will see you

[topaz whale]

Awesome! Good to know. Thank you!

[austere nimbus]

1. recognize the foliage in which character/item is - this data usually is GPU only, so access to it means a significant cost for either memory or CPU. Additionally this data needs to be available on dedicated server, so AI also can recognize the foliage (which they aren't atm).
   Not sure how this is handled in Enfusion, but wouldn't it possible to get the data from the terrain or things like surfaceType and nearestTerrainObjects in Arma3?
   I guess it's possible to get information about the environment around an entity, and act based on that.

2. modify appearance of object - visibility sounds good but it has it pitfalls - it only would look acceptable with transparency, could be done like heads and headgear is done now, with alpha test on material. It increases the cost of rendering those objects. It could be Y-offset, kind of like Arma 3, where it partially sinks into the ground. Not very visually appealing, but a bit easier and less costly to do.
   Adding alpha would be amazing (especially in PvP), and "should" only affect client side. But I can imagine this can cause issues with consoles and lesser PC hardware. For AI is shouldn't really matter since it will just not being able to see a person.

[coral jewel]

Don't we have somewhat more sophisticated methods in modern engines than just transparency? Speaking of angles - can't we just have terrain slope, distance, and height difference to calculate how much visible model should be? Would it be really this computional heavy?

[coral jewel]

nearestTerrainObjects doesn't seem to be something lightweight

however, it's based on radius, from my experience - bounding box calculations are more order of magnitude quicker than complex geometry (like radius) queries

anyway I don't think that foliage that we are speaking of, is a thing that is taken into account with this nearestTerrainObjects thing

[crimson fractal]

Not trying to ping everyone is a good place to start

And cross posting is considered a no no around these parts

[topaz whale]

Are there any plans to bring back the stances between prone and kneeling? They were very useful for shooting in grass. Kneeling is too high and prone blocks your vision even when you crawl over the grass in front of you.

[jade yoke]

Karmakut gear is dope and works well and as for weapons I recommend the MK18 with attachments and M4A1 Block II mod 👌 also you can change you filter and choose highest subscriptions (people downloaded) and usually the most download are the ones most used. However there is always the chance of having too many active mods, and having mods clash.

[trim sky]

When will we get modded servers (also really hoping for a war hammer mod)

[signal spruce]

If you are talking about on Xbox, then once crossplay servers are enabled, you’ll definitely have the option to join modded servers.

[jade yoke]

Will we get cross-play before or after the road map?

I'm talking how the M4A1 Block II mod and the MK18 with attachments mod wouldn't work together (having both enabled) not 100% if that's fixed for that. Haven't tried running both yet.

[sand verge]

hey wanna ask so is there all ready realesed like arma reforger mods?

[topaz whale]

There are some mods released (if that's what you mean)

[sand verge]

Oh where do I check them same as in steam workshop or it's a different platform

[ancient rapids]

in game, go to workshop

[sand verge]

Any news on adding 3den editor ? or some mods that can help us ?

[austere nimbus]

no and no

Although BI has heard the request for it, so maybe they'll add it in Arma 4 (or perhaps even in Reforger, but that won't be soon).
Personally I think they'll just improve the World Editor to be more easy to use.

[topaz whale]

Hope you're wrong on the world editor part

How do I report someone over arma and not xbox

I need urgent help with that problem

[half locust]

?

[sand verge]

So I can't report something over the game and xbox really doesn't give a fuck about this guy with 8 accounts that comes in and kills people and gets banned on one account and comes back on another and for some reason you don't get banned for beating team mates to death so he meles people's and doesn't gat banned and people on the team keep shooting him and getting banned and all he does is talk constant shit while he does this

[jade yoke]

This has been an issue.

[steel basalt]

So, will helicopters have the old arcade flight model, or something a bit more realistic like the advanced flight model or both like in A3? It was kind of nice having something a bit more challenging (but not DCS) whilst also being able to have my non-flying buddies also play alongside as infantry

[calm lion]

When is the editor going to be decent

[topaz whale]

If you mean like what 3den was in A3? Probably not until A4 but we don't know yet.

[calm lion]

Awesome, thank you

Hi, I am new to Reforger. Obv there is no Steam Workshop for Reforger. What is the best resource to get an overview of all the available mods pls?

[vale tusk]

There is no steam workshop because that doesnt help XBOX players. There is an in-game workshop for both PC and XBOX with pretty much the same features as steam workshop

just be nice to maybe have a web version as well some time with more advanced searching etc

as well as allowing modders to link to something

[static narwhal]

Thanks. So there is no way to get an overview of the available mods before buying the game?

[half locust]

not really

[half locust]

mainly because this is owned by BI now, and they so have full control this time around

[static narwhal]

Got it. Thanks for your help.

[austere nimbus]

Q: when can we expect joystick/HOTAS support in Enfusion/Reforger?
Will this be with the release of airframes, or not planned until later?

PS. right now it doesn't work at all 😅

[graceful cedar]

I believe there will be helicoptes (UH-1 and Mil Mi 8 respectively)

[sour topaz]

UH-60 should be in service by then already so I guess that and MI-8 with future MI-24 and apache or cobra

[topaz whale]

There is seemingly a model or some kind of art for UH1 and MI8 in the game already which is why those are most likely. I'm kind of doubting we will get hinds and apaches

[sour topaz]

yea same but would be cool to get stingers and some nerfed apache's to see how weapon systems work

on a side note

Does reforger editor allow to place texture maps right on the model and edit it on the model? if yes would it work if I imported arma 3 model into reforger did the texturing and then exported texture map back into arma 3?

[brittle agate]

No Enfusion is not a texturing tool.
And if you already have the source files you may as well paint on it directly in substance painter or other thingies

[wary flare]

What the fuck happened with the save load out

[copper pewter]

hi, just a question. is the ai still brain dead?

[topaz whale]

It's better at navigation. It knows to avoid grenades and getting run over. Other than that it pretty much just runs at any source of gunfire

[thick silo]

anyone else having issues with binds after this latest patch?
seems like right mouse button is activating direct talk.
also i can not unbind push to talk. it's hard bound to caps lock. not input for it under the chimera config file, or in the workbench.
can't change the push-to-talk to anything else.
(cue in the BIS whiteknight in 3..2..1.. "there is nothing wrong with the default binds, just use the default binds, why are you being difficult..)
all von inputs removed from the userinput.conf file. still bound ingame to caps lock. scratching my head on this.
