reforger_multiplayer

[remote cedar]

SteamDB counts ALL instances of the game (on PC, started through Steam), including single player, people scrolling through the workshop, etc. and of course MP.

No idea what the server json is, or where the data comes from... But I would guess it only returns active MP players, and most likely only of public servers ("visible": true in server.conf).
I also guess that lobbyPlayerSynchronise helps with getting accurate numbers, and probably more server side settings...

[hard epoch]

https://files.ofpisnotdead.com/reforger-servers.json

there was strong correlation between player counts of steamdb and player counts here when I was looking at it

[agile rivet]

Yeah i think you just got that by accident

[hard epoch]

shows a bigger number than steamdb's for the date it was scraped so I guess so

is there a way to get player count stats that are accurate?

[agile rivet]

Obviously not

[hard epoch]

obviously I wouldn't have asked if it was obvious

[remote cedar]

since ofpisnotdead.com is only able to access publicly available information (with some minor exceptions), and Microsoft doesn't share ANY information about player counts (not even sure if BI has access to that), I doubt it's technically possible...
And SteamDB has no access to anything outside of Steam anyway, so even less possible.

Of course; you could use the Steam API to list all (visible) servers (since that always require Steam), and query the player amount manually per server on a regular basis.

[hard epoch]

I'll just get it in workbench I guess, but it won't be automated

[agile rivet]

It is obvious due to mr. Microsoft not sharing any info, to protect their players. But then they leak their emails and passwords ever so often.

So opf was your best bet, but you can write your own api that does the same

[silent cipher]

Of course; you could use the Steam API to list all (visible) servers (since that always require Steam), and query the player amount manually per server on a regular basis.

As I already mentioned:

servers nor xbox clients are not communicating in any way with Steam.
a2s also completely unrelated with this as steam master server is not sending queries to servers.

So even steam has no idea about servers and how many players are on them.
https://files.ofpisnotdead.com/reforger-servers.json is probably only way how to get some info about public servers outside of game.

is there a way to get player count stats that are accurate?
probably no

[agile rivet]

Was* the only way, seems broken last 2 days

[signal cradle]

Anyone super experienced want to show me the ropes of reforger, iv had the game since the first week of the drop, I just can't find the right mil sim unit, and iv kinda waited to play the game until I found one. But I'd like to start it up if I can find someone

[proven horizon]

Did you already clear the tutorial?

[warm zenith]

are we allowed to give a server a quick shout out here

[azure brook]

Reforger isnt built for milsims
Youre better joining a modded community Conflict server

[agile rivet]

wait what? I've played plenty of enjoyable milsim events on reforger

[azure brook]

The AI is lacking

[agile rivet]

If you have good Zeus you dont notice it

[azure brook]

The crashing, respawn system, and all of the faults the game has are exaccerbated by a slow, time consuming Operation

[agile rivet]

conflict crashes too.
Respawn system is fine. Respawn at base, get airlifted in, or driven by logistic.

And i see that as part of milsim, its supposed to be slow.

[azure brook]

An experience interrupted constantly by instability, whereas in Conflict youll see more and do more in the same amount of time

2 hour milsim spending 30 minutes walking to an obj only to have half your team lag out by the time you get there, or 2 hour Conflict match where you get a bunch of combat in before 30 minutes and the first crash hits

[agile rivet]

idk what you are trying to converse here, promoting server?
Look that guy is looking for milsim, and from all my time in reforger i have not seen milsim in any of the conflict games. Its an arcade

[pliant oasis]

@warm zenith no advertising for servers/communities can be done in #communities_arma3 and/or #communities_xbox 👍

[azure brook]

Im trying to push people towards the gamemode that wont make them hate the game and stop them from coming back

[agile rivet]

No. You are trying to push them away from the thing that they want to experience.

If they want stable arcade, they can take COD or Battlefield. Believe it or not people come to arma for milsim

[azure brook]

SOmething that isnt quite there yet

Reforger in its current state, is not built for Milsim

Good luck organizing your guys when half the server crashes in one go and you have to wait for a Zeus to TP every single person back, every 45 minutes

[agile rivet]

Well keep to that opinion if you want. I know from experience there is.

From stealth ops, air assaults, motorized/mechanized groups.

And zeus teleporting in is nonsense. In most cases i was either flown or driven back to ao.

Sure it happens, but when you play with 40+ there is always few logis doing stuff.
And they are organized. (Even with disconnects, but that comes with EA)

And to logi note, there is far more of it in such milsim ops, than i ever saw on conflict.

And when exp goes stable, i can already see deidacted medics too

[wise crest]

Ok so I'm getting an error(well one of my guys is) it says scripts/game/bacon_facecameracomponent.c

My guy can't get on to play and keeps getting this error, does anyone know what's happening? It was working for him earlier today with no problems but when we tried to shift maps he got this error and now he can't join any of our servers

I'm on Xbox btw

[prisma sundial]

Yep. Know about these issues. If the server being used hasn't loaded the mod correctly, or the version that the server has does not match yours, you will get an error like this.

[slow bloom]

Every server is saying I'm running the wrong game version. How do I upgrade to 0.9.8.73?

[proven horizon]

Odd, the current game version (on PC) is 0.9.9.47

[echo dragon]

The server is outdated

[slow bloom]

Then I have no idea what's going on. All the official servers are giving the same reason as well. But somehow there's tons of people playing on them.

[echo dragon]

Official Servers should be on 0.9.9

[prisma sundial]

My server on Reforger is broken. Tried the new script on 4players. Nope. Not working. Broken.

[spring scarab]

Can you host a Player Hosted game on Reforger or does it have to be dedicated.

[tiny cairn]

Johnny Stracci - my hero of the evening. (Posting here so he can find the post later, Xbox Player coming to Discord soon 🙂 )

[drowsy schooner]

Thank you very much for an awesome session, Megagoth! Had an absolute blast with you and appreciate the help you provided — hope to play with you again soon! Take care & all the best, brother! 💪🏼

[elfin smelt]

Devs and Xbox players interacting both in and out of game 🙂. Genuinely made me smile seeing this. @drowsy schooner Im jealous!

[agile rivet]

If you look closely, you will notice that there is 2 of him

[tiny cairn]

UI bug, well noticed! His name tag stayed there for the whole session, a sign! 😄

[agile rivet]

Yeah, had some of these... signs... myself 😉

[bold topaz]

has anyone figured out how to disable the TK autoban? testing medical to make sure we understand all of it and waiting on the 30 minutes is wack

[hard epoch]

yes, turn off the player penalty component in your scenario

I think there is a mod that turns it off but I forgot the name

[warm zenith]

Why…. Am I seeing so many 20 player servers

[floral junco]

Seems like they reduced official servers from 32 to 20 players..

[icy panther]

There are still many 32 player official servers. More than the playerbase can fill.

[uneven spire]

Seems the problem is many USA players don’t want to play on “higher ping”, so we had 40 players on 2x20 player USA Everon Conflict servers (NY and MI), which is ridiculous, while non-USA servers which had 32 player capacities went unfilled

[prisma sundial]

nothing wrong with wanting lower ping

it makes gameplay better for everyone when everyone is atleast under 100

[weak condor]

I’d rather have high ping and 64 players than low ping 20 players

Especially on Everon

[storm iron]

thats fair, but have you considered low ping with 64 players? or have i just broken the matrix

[rough iron]

hahahah you should play the high ping US servers (because its low ping for me)

[uneven spire]

I always do! I’ve got no choice being in Aus! 😢

[warm zenith]

so is it really just the amount of players that drives the ping? is that fixable or... no?

[rough iron]

and their network connections

if you got 20 guys on McDonalds wifi, its not gonna be a good game

[hard epoch]

they need a wifi cable

[rough iron]

too bad they dont come with happy meals

[median kite]

So basically a reliable network connection? I am on a mesh network. My PC is wired to a mesh node (my PC don't have WiFi), but that node is not wired to the main node. Do you think that is bad?

Watching youtube, downloading stuffs doesn't seem to have much of a problem. Playing Squad also feels just fine really

[hard epoch]

what are your symptoms in the game?

[agile rivet]

Coughing, runny nose, laser eyes

[median kite]

Assuming you are refering to me... Nothing at all. feels very stable. In official conflict server. Never DC or crashed once. In community server though, not very stable. I assume it was the patch...

[hard epoch]

"not very stable" is much too vague

[median kite]

Yeah... playing fine, all of a sudden crashed to desktop... no warning whatsoever. Maybe not network related, or at least that is what I think.

[hard epoch]

ahh would have to see a crash reason, there are crashes that happen in both vanilla and not

[median kite]

I forgot to screen cap the crash pop up thing. I just click the Send Report button as per usual

[hard epoch]

I mean there is a crash.log file in your logs folder

[median kite]

Ah... that I haven't check. Will look for it

[hard epoch]

if you think of it as every player contributes to the possibility a crash will occur then playing on 64 player servers seems like will crash you twice as often as 32 player servers, if that makes sense

then again I've had servers blow up entirely when AI had an error while checking if a door is open or something at one point

Yes, that is all in the crash log

[silent cipher]

in most cases crash.log itself is useless...
possibly only useful thing there is script stack which would mean that crash happened because of something in script

For example script called some ScriptAPI in which it crashed.

crash GUID would be more useful because crash reporting system would already process memory dump which was sent to us

[hard epoch]

just make sure you keep pressing the send report button

[echo dragon]

Haven't seen any Arm builds

[keen night]

where do i find some reforger units?

[pliant oasis]

@keen night best channel is #communities_xbox that is dedicated reforger only as Arma 3 is not on Xbox, you can also search in #communities_arma3 but that is for all communities from the Arma franchise to advertise(searching for reforger in that channel would help). You can also advertise yourself that you are looking for a unit in #looking_for_unit but recruiters don't read just send DM's without reading so you will receive Arma 3 unit invites also 🤦‍♂️

[crude moss]

Only amd64 but I could run it on arm64 using the rosetta translation layer

@smoky kernel⬆️

[ripe mantle]

help please!

why open console in arma reforge

arma reforger kick cause code: group=1 ‘REPLICATION’, reason=3 ‘Connection Failure"

HELP PLEASE!

[rough iron]

Connection failure can mean many things, are other people in the server you're trying to join? Are you on WiFi?

[ripe mantle]

yes, there are users and a connection too, before I could connect and everything was fine

[ripe mantle]

When trying to connect the map is not loaded, but the black screen is loaded and then this error

[ripe mantle]

At the same time, I can log in to regular servers from the community or official ones

[ripe mantle]

Help me please(((

[rough iron]

Idk, my best advice is just retry

[rough iron]

this is good info for your issue: thanks Marko! 🙂 #reforger_troubleshooting message

[ripe mantle]

Thanks

[warm zenith]

I was having this issue last night!

[ripe mantle]

And how did you decide?

[warm zenith]

decide? but if you mean fixed -- it never got fixed. i tried a ton over and over for probably 15 minutes. rebooted the game, my PC, same. i just quit trying

[ripe mantle]

what should I do now(

[warm zenith]

its still happening?

[ripe mantle]

Don't know

[warped otter]

yo i need help on how to find a server on arma forger

[rough iron]

make sure youre not running experimental branch, as there will be very very very few servers available to play

[warped otter]

wat u mean

so how do i change it

[rough iron]

If you're on steam (PC) you want Arma reforger, not Arma reforger experimental. I'm not sure how they do it on Xbox.

[thick salmon]

We have a player named Ishtarr 2284 teamkilling at SEVERAL officalservers for hours today. If we leave the server he just follow us. We need help getting him banned!!!
Autoban does not work... @compact brook

[high kestrel]

Ishtarr228 - Server Official EU 11027905 @compact brook teamkilling at every servers. ban that guy please!

[prime horizon]

Confirming heavy teamkilling by same guy (Xbox player) on same Official servers..

[rough iron]

.... And that's why I never play on official. There's no server admins.

Find a moderated, non-official server and you might have better luck.

[thick salmon]

There must be outoban after a certain TKlimit done in short time- Can't be that difficult script for official servers. !!!

[rough iron]

isnt that already a thing? People get banned off my servers for that automatically.

[thick salmon]

Not working at official servers atm, 🥹 🥺

[hot plaza]

wait TK autoban isnt functioning on official? lmao

[viscid elbow]

I thought it was just changed to like 7 teamkills, this happened like when the free moving fortifications came or mine update.

[thick salmon]

Well this player Ishtarr2284 killed a lot of players for hours... ruined several servers...players left and he followed them to new servers filling up...🥹 🥹

[viscid elbow]

Mate proof

[high kestrel]

its ridiculous atm if u ask me!

[viscid elbow]

known issue within community

[thick salmon]

But why do Bohemia set up those servers when autoban system is out of order?? 🤣

[viscid elbow]

Idk

[rough iron]

its not out of order, it works fine on my modded servers, but that's crazy if they decided to disable it on official servers lol!

[warm zenith]

why is there new connection issues -- connection failure, something replication, but sometimes it works

[vivid patrol]

Need a better way to deal with griefers, they’re seriously ruining the game rn for everyone.

[soft plank]

Guy called rupert kept spawning supply trucks and running them into the water, completely destroyed the economy so the game died

[vivid patrol]

Yeah I got banned for killing him

[soft plank]

i also doled out some main base executions of the griefer and got a kick

[vivid patrol]

“Rupert”, alt account “Rupert eh 30” is constantly teamkilling (shooting, melee and grenade glitch) as well as destroying friendly bases/griefing.

Is there any form of admin that can ban him? Or are we on our own? Because vote kicking isn’t working.

And no, we can’t change servers because the only other australian conflict server is gone/down.

[vivid patrol]

3rd confirmed alt, “Rupert9393”

He keeps using alts to switch between the US & USSR team.

[wintry sedge]

Abandoned all hope, and leave the official servers to die like they are destined to.

Join community servers instead.

[vivid patrol]

I would but most of them are either bad, empty or toxic as hell. Conflict is where the fun is at

[weak condor]

Ik dark gru is too modded pbs is boring and they’re the main conflict servers

[wintry sedge]

join a community server that runs conflict then

Honestly, there is no way in he'll the experience of official servers will be anything but garbage.

[rough iron]

Preferably one with active admins. Official will never have admins, you're left to fend for yourself.

[floral junco]

Compared to PBS, the official servers are an oasis of peace.

[weak condor]

Only servers that run conflict are dark gru and pbs

[wintry sedge]

Griefers that get bodied by the admins in PBS end up going to the official servers.

[weak condor]

I don’t like playing pbs and dark gru is too overloaded with mods for my liking

There used to be German server but it always goes dead few days after an update

[hot plaza]

the issue is that hosting a conflict server with more than 40 slots will run you $100-200/month if you want anything resembling decent performance. DarkGru can do it because they have the funds in their milsim and PBS has been around for a while AFAIK. there are tons of other community conflict servers but theyre always dead due to only having 10-16 slots or running on a potato

[rough iron]

unless you rent a bare metal dedi and know what youre doing, it doesnt have to be that expensive.

[hot plaza]

thats true, but most people dont have the skill/dedication to go from scratch like that

[rough iron]

yep hence the surcharge for convenience

[storm iron]

same, he joined AP-SY servers, someone warned everyone as soon as he joined, we gave him a chance though, despite us letting him have the chance to actually play the game like a normal person he started TKing and deleting everything, the only way to stop him was to get him unconcious, i may have accidentaly killed him a few to many times tho so i was kicked

[storm iron]

i am not sure if there are any good ones in Oceana area which is a pain

[outer canyon]

Don't forget Chillfam!

[azure brook]

And SAW Esports

[viscid elbow]

Been dead for awhile

[hard epoch]

is that esports but everyone gets a m249?

[viscid elbow]

No, it was one of the best servers imo for arma reforger

[weak condor]

It always becomes alive after a major update only to die

[pliant oasis]

@vivid wraith see pinned messages for recruitment advertising.

[vivid wraith]

Thanks 🙏

[soft plank]

I can't join any dedicated servers recently due to a resource mismatch error, even if I download and update all those mods

Also those servers constantly needing 3gb updates are annoying as hell

[hasty hazel]

Iirc that means you've updated a mod and the server is requiring an older version.

[carmine sinew]

In Australia there arent really any community servers, and the US/EU community servers are very high ping

[rough iron]

Yes workshop is pretty broken, this sounds like the bug where everytime you join the server, it forces you to redownload the same version of mods (typically larger ones) even when you already have the correct version.

[median kite]

Just had a bad experience in AP-SY server just now. The TKer was Chillie666 on US team. Heard on the russian team got one also..

I kinda try to taunt him to kill me, so he would get banned. but to no avail. He threw grenades, and force respawn.

These guys are patient... must be a pro griefer

[orchid crypt]

Carsonmedan1 familiar griefer to anyone?

[azure brook]

That's an OLD name

God, I've been complaining about him since Last August, around the time Pink Top started being a menace

You'd do good to get rid of him as soon as possible, he's notorious

Relentless Xbox Troll like Vladdy Putin

[orchid crypt]

If vote kick function actually worked in public servers. that would be a good start. I have never seen a vote kick in reforger. Like ever ever.

[azure brook]

I've had it happen like four times

Most people don't really give a shit enough to vote, especially back when you needed the ENEMY teams votes too

[orchid crypt]

It's amazing how I don't ever recall people griefing in past Armas tho. With the collective hours I put in a2 and 3.

[azure brook]

I've had people grief me in Apex Protocal before

Our ATa blowing up friendly vehicles so we have to walk everywhere and running off so nothing triggers properly, etc

[orchid crypt]

I suppose it's worse with console players because you can have multiple accounts for 1 game

[azure brook]

Indeed, game share is the bane of Reforger

I've never seen a PC troll because most of them get yeeted and stay deleted

Except maybe Wasi Weis, he's an exception

[hasty hazel]

Can someone explain what xbox players actually do to keep being able to TK? They have unlimited access to a trial version or something?

@azure brook Do you know?

[azure brook]

Correct, infinite trials, infinite free accounts

[dusky valley]

Well you can have a maximum of 8 accounts active, each one needs its separate email but they will all be able to use the subscriptions of the first(main) account.
You can however remove accounts and use a new email to create one to take its place. When it comes to free trials i have no idea but only one account needs to own the game and then the other acounts linked to that console can play it. So yes unlimited accounts is in theory possible as much as infinite E-mail accounts are

I play on Xbox and i never grief and never use alt accounts for any such purpose and most people i know is exactly the same as me. But you will always have some people that abuse this function and with the possibility of creating all these accounts the same player can rejoin on a different account each time they get an account banned

[viscid elbow]

Also can share the game with friends

[dusky valley]

True

2 friends with gameshare right?

In DayZ on console they have implemented a function where when you change to an alternate account you get a 5 minute log in timer before you can play a server. Every new change from there multiplies the previous timer by 2 so 5, 10, 20, 40 minutes and so on. Basicly made that problem a non issue on DayZ for console.

[weak condor]

Game share can’t have 2 people playing

[azure brook]

Jokes on you, it can

Let them sign in with your account and set their xbox as your accounts home xbox
Then they have access to all of your games, no matter where your account is signed into, cause his xbox is your home xbox

Meaning you can sign in on your xbox, and play your accounts games, whereas he has access to those same games on his account

Same goes for Alt accounts on those xboxes and on your xbox, so long as your account is signed in even if its not your home xbox any other account gets access to your games

[weak condor]

Oh I tried to game share with my friend and we couldn’t play together thanks

I was doing it for years with my buddy

[carmine sinew]

Griefing and trolling is ruining the experience, new players are getting a truly awful first impression and veterans are quitting in anger over the state of MP games lately. The fact that any player can quickly and easily tear down hours of work (deleting everything from bases) is rediculous. At least limit the ability to deconstruct/delete things to Sgt rank or higher. Or just remove the ability to delete things entirely, it isnt needed.

[outer canyon]

Could you imagine wasting time just to ruin someone's experience? Jeez

[plucky turret]

Beyond using multiple accounts, grenades lose ownership when the person who threw it dies.

The griefers just toss a grenade and hit respawn before it detonated. Since the grenade is no longer associated with them, they don’t get the TK penalty

[storm iron]

yep that is a verry annoying flaw in the system

[rough iron]

Do official servers use the reconnect component? I use it on my scenarios and had a player that said when he tried that it still counted against him

[analog ember]

Yeh with people's powers in there units ect is making alot of lads not want to join. Im struggling to get over 10 people in my unit its bad at minute.

[limpid marsh]

all xbox players ? weird..... <sarcasm mode off>

[vivid patrol]

Those are the 4 I’ve encountered on the Australian servers.

[hot plaza]

xbox players are able to use the 6hr trial and account hopping to avoid bans which is why it seems to be all console players trolling

[rough iron]

From what I've read they also seem to troll official servers where they know there are no admins, and no consequences.

[light sail]

Arma plan on fixing server crashes anytime soon?

[agile rivet]

Arma plans.

[rough iron]

from what Ive seen, clients crash way more often than servers. Clients seem to often assume the server went down when their client crashes.

[wintry sedge]

Same here, server crashes are rare compared to client crashes.

[light sail]

Even on your server? bc I cant even load in and play for 30 seconds without crashing again so I didnt know if it was Arma or just your server

And its not just me

[rough iron]

yes, my servers have only been crashing 0-2 times a day, but I see people getting disconneted (crashing) all the time. One of the bug fixes in EXP Im hoping will fix most of those client crashes. If you want to read some real nerd stuff about it, here: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T174981

[light sail]

Thank you was just curious because it seems to be doing it more than usual starting yesterday

[rough iron]

there was indeed an isue with one of the mods I use, and not just my servers. I went to fix that issue this morning when I found out RHS got yeeted from the workshop so Im removing that dependency right now, should be ready here within the hour. 🙂 Thank goodness Im off work today to take care of it!

Thanks alot for the help

Had the most satisfying MP session yet in a long time. No crash, no dc... Though I did see some people got disconnected.

Latest patch seems really stable for me.

Oh btw it was on PBS server, 64 players

Common sentiment it seems... I only thank the lord Reforger is past that hurdle

[shadow portal]

New to the game and needing some guidance, any and all help is needed.

[deep galleon]

Played the tutorial ?

[azure brook]

Play the tutorial, have patience, expect and welcome bugs, ask plenty of questions to people in a match with you, play the ChillFam servers (Best new player/PvE experience PERIOD), and take your time to learn things slowly

[shadow portal]

Thank yall, I finished the tutorial and I'm excited to play online

[viscid elbow]

Just expect people not to communicate

[hard epoch]

yea but thats like any game

[shadow portal]

so do you customize your loadout gear before you join a server or during a match?

[rough iron]

During

[viscid elbow]

not really, some games have servers that have a lot of people communicating, its just that reforger currently doesnt have those long term commited players, or atleast a lot of them.

[hard epoch]

I know at least 2

[viscid elbow]

2 long commited players?

[hard epoch]

at least

[viscid elbow]

Good for you

does anyone have problems installing the mod task force mattock uniforms ?

Nope just the weapons one on a specific server instance. (Runs fine elsewhere). Could be a workshop issue.

Where is the news related to new 64p official server?

[median kite]

I am seeing more and more full servers now... but most of them only 32 players server. It is a good sign I suppose, that players are coming back. I hope BI will increase their server maxcount after their 3rd public play test.

[agile rivet]

On 32 it runs flawless more or less. And klamacz said that they only officialy support 32 for now

[floral junco]

Yesterday official Everon server with 32 slots (11056399) was lagging a lot. It didn't register hits & rubber cars™

[past vine]

hi does anyone know if the reforegr life servers are any good or should i wait till arma 4

[viscid elbow]

They are very toxic servers.

[thin wasp]

Hello do you know how to remove installed mods? I have a mod installed that does not download and prevents me from accessing the PLXYABLE server and

[silent cipher]

are you on PC?

[thin wasp]

Yes

I tried a lot of solutions but nothing helps

[silent cipher]

and prevents me from accessing the PLXYABLE server and
even after game restart?

If so I would be interested in that addon since there might be something wrong with it and it would help us investigate the issue.
If you go into .../Documents/My Games/ArmaReforger/addons then you should be able to find it there. Could you please pack it into zip and send it to me into DM? After that you can try to remove it and it should probably download again.

[thin wasp]

I'll send you this

[hard epoch]

indeed on PC sometimes it is impossible to delete a mod through the "main" workshop menu and you'd have to navigate to the Mod Manager tab (dont remember the name) and press the little trash can icon then restart the game

but I don't know when it happens specifically, and why would that little trash can icon behave differently

[silent cipher]

Yeah, this is first time I hear about such issue... not sure why it would behave differently for some addons so that is reason why I want it to see if there is something specific in it that would cause such issue.

[hard epoch]

I remember the delete button didn't throw any errors, but when I restarted the game the mod was still there, until I pressed the tiny trash can button

I don't think it happens under normal circumstances, maybe it was something with a failed download that wasnt correctly handled 2 months ago

[silent cipher]

any update on this?

[agile rivet]

Oh yeah, happend to me also. Its not a recent issue.

Another one is, if you unload all mods in mod manager, some dont want to unload

[robust junco]

There are plenty of these broken downloads at the minute. Have the latest versions of mods but then it tries to update one, fails and then you have to deleted it and redownload the problem mod

That and the mismatch errors make multiplayer difficult at best currently :/

[silent cipher]

yeah mismatch which is caused by wrong addon load order is already fixed but I did not yet manage get failed update where you have to delete it later to fix it... might be because I dont wait long enough and then delete all of them... I might try to download almost every addon which is used on public modded servers and some time later try to join if it causes this issue.
not sure what causes it to update... is it real update to new version or is even that some error which I did not yet manage to get?

[robust junco]

Any idea when the mismatch fix will get pushed?

And yeah it seems random as to when a mod decides to fail an update. It doesn't appear to be a new version of the mod but I can't say I've checked in detail before and after. But the only way to resolve has been to delete the mod folder entirely and redownload it

[shrewd falcon]

that happens to me on xbox a lot especially when updating big mods and they just fail to download and get stuck, i remember there being a work around though if you had another mod that used the stuck one as a dependency you were able to delete it through there, but if that doesn’t work you gotta wipe all your mods on xbox and redownload them.

[young skiff]

the missmatch error is not fixed. at least not on our servers and we tried to delete as many mods as possible with same result

we also tried to reset the server and add every mod one by one to see if some mod makes the error but i dont think so anymore

[hot plaza]

supposedly script mismatch is caused by the mod load order, Tactical Toxic said the ordering them by dependency in config.json fixes it but i havent tested that

[young skiff]

thanks for the info, i will try that!

[keen night]

ummm can someon e help i have updated ( downloaded content) on steam for reforger and i come back to all the servers out of date

All of the servers are not the right game version now.

[agile rivet]

Yes. Server owners have to update them too

[keen night]

what so i just got to give it a day or something?

[agile rivet]

Couple of hours. Official servers are up to date already

ah alright perfect ty mate

Why i getting this error, looks ok too me 🙂
"" BACKEND (E): Param "#/game/gameProperties/serverMaxViewDistance" has an incorrect type. Expected "number", but the value

you have values in " " which then consider those values as strings
remove them so it is like this:

[agile rivet]

So you can or can not join?

[normal shell]

I can join, but end up in the water

[agile rivet]

Hmm, thats mostly related to the bad scenario

Unless you are using official one

I suggest first running official scenario, so you know server works. Then add mods

[hard epoch]

I think red triangle is a lie sometimes

[slim topaz]

@granite bone anyway we can get the 64 player Arland conflict server up for general usage?

[granite bone]

I’ll forward the request now.

[hardy trout]

64 Arland is great. 2 major points to attack and the rest is small engagements.

I still can't get over how fun the playtest was. Spraying a PK into the forest because I saw tracers in the moonlight?

Awh yeah.

What happened to the 64 slot official server

[agile rivet]

Offline

[storm iron]

I tried same thing with M60, I used a lot of ammo that day

[azure brook]

With the Russians you can carry 600 rnds of ammo for a PKM

Smart decision is to load your friend and a UAZ with ammo

[hardy trout]

You honestly could have just left it on the ground next to you.

Just rolling in ammo. Literally.

I'm still impressed you didn't shoot me from that far away during the assault phase.

Bravo.

[azure brook]

They'll despawn in two minutes if they're on the ground

10 minutes if they're in the UAZ

[hardy trout]

Oh jeez. That makes sense. Dang.

[azure brook]

They won't despawn if they're on my harness, in my backpack, and on my buddies backpack

[hardy trout]

Good to know.

Now those 10 mins, the whole UAZ is gone right? So if you get in really quick, you can extend by another 10?

[azure brook]

Yes, I think so

[storm iron]

i will say i like the PKM, its 10 times better, m60 enthusiasts please dont hit meee!

[hard epoch]

AK + RPK mags

[viscid elbow]

enemy eats 50 bullets

[raven bolt]

PKM is an absolute sledgehammer of a gun once you learn to counter the recoil climb effectively, my best streak with this beast so far is 32 kills on a 64 player server over the space of about 5 mins which give or take worked out the majority of the US team 😂

https://youtu.be/r2i2TBy6TRg?si=gq59mUeu0tDueq2G

[orchid crypt]

I like pkm better as well, ( m240b is the lmg the m60 wishes it was) I just hate how much space those ammo cans use up. M60 recoil is easier to control when shooting standing tho

[storm iron]

really? i have a lot more trouble controlling m60 recoil, maybe i am just special

[lament laurel]

Yeah I would rather the pig(m60) but m240 is way better at closer range

[storm iron]

m240 shreds

[wild skiff]

Does it also despawn if a player is nearby? That's pretty bad.

[viscid elbow]

Yes

[lament laurel]

It's been mentioned in the patch notes for a couple of months so it is known and probably being worked on plenty

[gloomy fjord]

Is there a reason there’s no 64 player vanilla servers for conflict? Everon feels huge with only 16vs16

[icy panther]

There was a playtest on official server with 64 players a couple of weeks ago. I guess it failed the test.

[hard epoch]

my hot take is that for conflict on a map as big as everon you would need like 512 players to make it lively

[viscid elbow]

32 players and ai is good

[gloomy fjord]

Not on everon, I’ve won entire games of conflict and never even saw enemy players when it’s 16vs16, simply isn’t enough people to cover and entire map the size of Everon

[viscid elbow]

with ai, like squad operated, and on 32 you can easily find people.

[wintry sedge]

"people"

[viscid elbow]

seriously you can find enemies, especially in montignac area. and clueless people spawn on radio people so if you find those then boom 3 guys dead.

[trail vector]

Hey, @BI devs. you have a rank system in place, and have yet to make xbox player bans stick or have any meaningful effect on these trolls.
how about you use this rank system you already have in game to deal with these griefers in a manner befitting them.

if a player TKs or destroys assets of the team, granting them the rank of Renegade. have them get teleported to a fenced off area on one of the small islands off the main land. strip them of all equipment and weapons, and have them be limited to that area for 30min.
if they disconnect and rejoin to try and leave the zone, the 30min time resets.
if they suicide, all spawn points other than the zone on the island are available to spawn on, and they get 10min added to their time.
if they find a way out of the fenced in zone and try to swim to the main land, they get teleported back and another 10min added to their time.

trying to ban them off servers when they can just make a new xbox account and rejoin obviously isn't working, it doesn't seem you guys are interested in fixing that. this "jail" mechanic would be easy to implement with the current system already in place, and would be an appropriate way to change their behavior.

optionally, if a modder can script such a mechanic as a mod, i'm sure it would quickly become very popular. ideally BI implements a jail mechanic so that vanilla server that have no admins, have a means to deal with trash players.

[azure brook]

Wouldn't be easy

You can't edit scenarios to make said "Fenced in area", and it would only work on Conflict

Since the rank system only works on Conflict

[trail vector]

and conflict needs this the most

[hot plaza]

this would be somewhat complex to implement properly, i think, but not impossible at all. in any case there absolutely needs to be a robust system in place for dealing with trolls. the current voting system does not solve the issue quickly enough in game to prevent major damage to the match. i dont know if "island jail" would work out but a quick, efficient, and solid system to get rid of trolls is essential or public conflict will die

[azure brook]

They should make the vote kick UI easier, give players the option to punish TKs like in HLL, and have bans/kicks persist across servers

[trail vector]

they can't make the bans stick on xbox players, which is why the majority of the trolls are on xbox

[hot plaza]

^this, half the time i dont notice a vote is in progress meant for @azure brook

[azure brook]

That way if the players apologize and it's an accident, it doesn't count
But if it was intentional, it'll count towards their respawn timer on their next death to anything

That way, after about 3 TKs they have a 10 minute respawn timer

[trail vector]

hurr durr i just got banned! (microsoft network) "would you like to register a new account"... yes please! [reconnecting to server]

[azure brook]

That's an issue built into Microsoft itself, they can't prevent it

[trail vector]

exactly so they need to have a way to deal with these players

[azure brook]

The Xbox store offers a free demo, and anyone can Game Share

[hot plaza]

the demo is what almost all griefers use

[azure brook]

But players can't edit scenarios to build specific areas for griefers
Best thing they can do is increase the respawn timer on Renegades

And increase the penalty for TKing in terms of rank

[trail vector]

if BI was able to get the Xbox hardware IDs and have bans work off those, then we wouldn't be having this conversation

[azure brook]

Indeed

Microsoft is a POS company, and won't let that happen, unfortunately

[trail vector]

there are islands off the coasts of the main islands, they can make those specific zones in vanilla

[azure brook]

Not a horrible idea, but the system itself would be buggy, and hard to implement properly

[wintry sedge]

Bans can't stick on Steam either.

[trail vector]

than jail is the best option currently

[wintry sedge]

Making a new steam account and familly sharing the game, will make you play the game with no issues.

The best option is for them to fix it, so players can't do that. Not to create an entire new system.

[trail vector]

it's not a new system

[azure brook]

They might be able to fix it on Steam but it's impossible to fix on Xbox without bribing Microsoft to change their entire system of Game Share, and change how new accounts are made

[trail vector]

everything they need is already in the game.
renegade rank means you spawn option is limited to the small island. and a timer is set and needs to be run out before you clear the renegade rank and get the option to spawn back on the main island

[azure brook]

I don't see a decent way to implement spawns per rank

[trail vector]

you already get limited access to what you can spawn dependent on rank

[wintry sedge]

for a start they need to fix the ability to use grenades and mine, then respawning, to not be held accountable for tk. Then for first time it is 30 minutes, second time within a month is 2 hours, third time is seven days, just like in cs

[azure brook]

Rank doesn't matter where you spawn, only Conflict specific components such as the vehicle depot conponent

[trail vector]

but it can

it's just a script

[azure brook]

Spawns are tied to Faction and HQ buildings, specifically
Every ConflictMilitaryBase Prefab has three prefabs attached, an HQ tent, an FIA spawn, and a campaign specific spawn point

If it's controlled by a player faction the FIA spawn deactivates

[trail vector]

so they add rank as a factor for spawning.

[azure brook]

They should make the vote kick UI easier to navigate first
That's an easier way of doing it that'll have a similar effect

That way even if the troll comes back, they just get voted off the island again
A simpler fix that'll go a long way to match self management

[trail vector]

not when kick and bans don't stick since players just bypass that with alt accounts

[azure brook]

^

[trail vector]

and when you have 2-3 trolls working together and you can;t get a 100% vote to pass, then what?

[azure brook]

They get a 10 minute respawn timer for killing you

[wintry sedge]

{punish/don't punish} when you are teamkilled.

if you choose to punish, they die and get long respawn timer, and it counts toward their tk for a ban

[trail vector]

that's all well and good for accidental TKs. not for trolls. they can just rejoj the server and clear the spawn timer

but i would be fine with combining a long respawn time with isolating them from the main island

at the end of the day, it's about making them suffer with meaningful punishment for their actions

we are in agreement that the way things currently are, is not working.

[supple portal]

Why is MP Desync so strong these days, no matter which server

[inland mica]

This is a golden answer to this problem. ✨️

I honestly wish this was prioritized, since it's such a bad and reoccurring issue that isn't a bug that effects the outcome of the entire game.

[sleek stump]

did the PBS server just go down on reforger?

[viscid slate]

Quick question. I got a 10 slot server with 16gb ram. Plenty of cpu headrom but still the vehicles are abit... jumpy when driving? Even if im the only one on and latency is about 40. However on other servers its silky smooth. Is it a startup parameter im missing?

[hard epoch]

do you know what the cpu is? is your latency the same on other servers as well when you see them smoother?

[viscid slate]

Its a dedicated server from a provider. Unsure about the cpu unfortunatly. And latency is consistant on the other servers yes

[hard epoch]

when the vehicles stutter does AI movement also stutter when they walk etc?

[viscid slate]

Sometimes in the distance

[hard epoch]

does your server run with -logStats on where it logs server fps to the console.log file? you could see if fps goes low on the server

[viscid slate]

I need to check that. Havent had a server since arma2 but ran that locally so 🙂

But gotta get done at work before i can check it. Thanks

[normal shell]

My server does the same, 60fps 28 vehicles on the map, Straight after a fresh install as well 😦 (It never used to do it)

[hard epoch]

60 fps is very good, for vehicles see https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1121434196477485086

[dreamy ice]

Other games: "I'm getting 60fps "
Arma: "I'm getting 60fps "

[gritty gulch]

A lot of the public servers feel more random and casual than Squad. How can I join clan events or smt?

For a more uh, organized gameplay

[pliant oasis]

@gritty gulch scroll through #communities_arma3 (Arma 3 and Reforger communities) / #communities_xbox (Reforger only), for events keep track of #multiplayer_events every now and than a Reforger event pops up.

[gritty gulch]

@pliant oasis the lineup is very varied and confusing, and they give off a vibe of larping off too much.

Maybe i got to make my own arma clan, with card games and exotic dancers

[agile rivet]

1. Get a server
2. Make discord server
3. Recruit ppl
4. ???
5. Profit

Well profit from enjoyable gameplay

[pliant oasis]

You can always "advertise" yourself in #looking_for_unit maybe there are other starter units/groups/communities for reforger that you can join (see pinned messages for template to give best details for recruiters).

from my personnal experience, milsim units lead by people that are not vets or active military are actually better than lead by vets or active military

ex and current military tend to try to recreate exactly their experience, without taking into account that Arma is a game and trying to stick to strict reality is actually a pain in the *ss

[storm iron]

i notice that it is the vets that are chill most of the time and it is the tactikool keyboard warrior kids that are the uptight ones that have a fit if you move an inch out of formation 😂

[grim prism]

Anyone know where the official 64 player Arma Reforger server went?

[silent star]

I guess it's kind of a culture thing then

[remote cedar]

Our community's motto is "Realism where it matters", so we use real life (NATO) structures, tactics and regulations, however modified to be usable in Arma.
We have real military giving advice on things, but also hobbyists with a lot of knowledge about specific areas or history of specific battles.

The main purpose is to have fun, but the structure is there so that everyone can do it. Eg. you don't need to be an IRL instructor to train people or IRL leader to be able to lead; we provide the guidelines which everyone can follow and therefor everyone will have the same experience while playing.

So yes, it's possible to be a milsim within Arma without actual military knowledge or being a veteran. You just have to be able to be adaptive to the game.

[silent star]

no offense to you (as I don't know your team anyway), but every single team says that, more or less
but I have 4000 hours on A3 (only Milsim, never did any Life), been in 20+ teams, and it might be problematic but I came to the conclusion none of what they say in their team recap matters anyway, you can only get a true idea by watching unedited gameplay videos or doing a few missions in that team

[remote cedar]

Valid point and I completely agree with you.
Currently have over 6000 hours in A3, and roughly 3000 hours in A2 (no idea about OFP), and only played in milsim units as well.

I've tried out units where 13-year-olds were screaming at me as drill sergeants (so left before they could finish their sentence), been at units where people claimed to be veterans and forced everything without understanding the game (so left after the first mission), but have also seen communities which are serious and knowledgeable without being a pain.

But I do stand by what I said about my current community, and have several streams (both on Twitch and YouTube, links are in my Discord profile) to be watched in case you want to check it out.

However it will always be a personal opinion on what people like or not, and I respect that (and I'm sure you do too).
And even then each mission is different with different outcomes; I've been in a lot of good missions, but also some which were a waste of my evening.
That happens, and are part of the experience (IMHO).

PS. my streams are usually pretty boring, since I usually play a medical role 😉 So if you like watching at the ACE Medical menu all the time you're in for a treat 😛

[normal shell]

@rough iron Is "CONFLICTPVEREMIXEDVANILLA" all good to be on a server 🙂

[rough iron]

Yes for sure!

[normal shell]

Thanks, Actually running quite well 🙂 Strange how i don`t get the vehicle lag on this scenario 🙂
Could you assist with saving, ot sure about the instructions .... 🙂

[wispy barn]

morning guys wondering if someone can help me please, new to having a server, i want to add king of the hill to my server and im running into a problem where the mods im trying to use dont have a scenario id, does anyone know what i have to do to make it work ?? sorry if it is a stupid question

[crisp oasis]

Go to your documents search king of the the bill, right click open file location, open the main SQL folder, and get the scenario ID out of there

[mint dagger]

i'd love to join

[thorny forge]

Sorry but it's ignorant to think it's that simple. I've seen units run by civilians and units run by veterans that were both bad and good. Chill and serious.
This trend of generalizing and making fun of people for serving or not that I see a lot of the time in this community is pathetic.
Same thing for this trend of making fun of units that are more serious for being "Larpers" and the opposite for being "Chillsimmers".

Arma is a game that can be enjoyed in many ways, and it's sad that people fail to realize others may find fun in different parts of it.

[molten spire]

Anyone know where I can rent experimental servers at?

[compact bridge]

Does Reforger have private Coop yet? Just looking to do a PVE with some buddies.

[storm iron]

look i posted this message a while ago but it has obviously truck a cord with some people... i was making a generalization based on my personal experiences, i in no way made fun of larpers or milsimmers, they can do whatever the hell they want and they are a cool bunch 👍 , i love playing in a game with them, BUT it is people (not specifically milsimmers) that are overly controlling and serious and therefore not enjoyable to play with

[honest iron]

Don't forget the cosplayers

[topaz geode]

Hello. Uhm.. does anyone know, if we would get the old Altis map remade within Arma4?....

[supple portal]

Technically possible, fits best into #enfusion_terrain. All you need to do is get the Lemnos heightmap and get to work.

[supple portal]

people can def play the game however they want, they pais for it. i personally don't like milsim if it goes too deep, I just like to run basic tactics but with heavy focus on gameplay that's fun.

[twin tide]

Hey so just joined to ask how populated arma reforger servers are and if enough people are playing it for it to be worth purchasing because I really like the overall look of the game and would love to play conflict mode but just afraid of getting the game and finding its dead. How is it and is it worth getting?

[viscid elbow]

Game has a few servers, i wouldnt really recommend and due to console players the community is not that good

[twin tide]

Damn that's unfortunate. I hate how quickly these new additions always die out. I loved the Arma 3 prairie fire dlc but nobody was playing it anymore pretty early on in its life

[viscid elbow]

Theres multiple good a3 prairie fire servers. That are populated

[twin tide]

US West? Haven't been on it in a long while tbf but the few times I kept checking it was always dead apart from 200+ ping servers

[viscid elbow]

there is american servers, but this is wrong chat for that anyway

[hot plaza]

"due to console players" lol

[viscid elbow]

majority are console

[hard epoch]

during US daytime hours yes, otherwise Steam

[gritty gulch]

9 times out of 10 the racist gamer is the console gamer.

Originating from one of the former confederate states, they really dislike several groups of people different from them

[hot plaza]

this is largely due to a) larger sample size = more likely to run into dicks and b) its way too easy to ban/kick evade on xbox with the trial+alt accounts

[hard epoch]

the amount of xbox players is not 10 times more than pc players (more like 1.5-2) but still feels like 9/10 is a hyperbole

[viscid elbow]

Racist gamers tho not normal gamers, you can different people have different meanings for a racist gamer and it just means the ultra obvious ones.

[hard epoch]

I've seen the same behavior from "both" but there indeed is more xbox players

just not as much more as you'd think (I track player counts)

[mortal tree]

got a question anybody know how i change the download path for the mods it auto download them on my c drive wich is not my gaming ssd and i want to switch it. is it possible somehow ?

[viscid elbow]

One thing is that US teams have usually more xbox than PC

[hard epoch]

how patriotic

[viscid elbow]

Which team wins more?, that would be a nice statistic to know

That is all that is confirmed atm https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Arma_4
Feel free to check at any time

Also not really reforger multiplayer

[quiet remnant]

thank you

[dreamy ice]

The Arma 4 setting will indeed be an armed conflict

[storm iron]

can agree with this, mericans are just stoopid half of the time!

[dreamy ice]

Surely it doesnt have to do with the fully automatic AK compared to an M16, or the reloadable RPGs compared to a fire and forget LAW, or the BTR compared to a Humvee

Hey, at least most of the people playing soviet can't read the compass XD

[gritty gulch]

Maybe its to do with the console players

[steep mulch]

Or the fact all the console players (myself included) have a learning curve with how the game plays

[wintry sedge]

PC players should get 200% more recoil

[icy panther]

Would love an option for mouse & keyboard only server. I play on Xbox & PC.
The stereotype dumbass, racist, American, Xbox user player discussed above is a real issue. Discrimination based on input device has the best chance of weeding some of them out; only a bona-fide dumbass thinks the best way to play a FPS game is with a controller.

Also, would just be fun, with everyone accurate.

[quiet remnant]

I have never heard more white people drop the n word than in the last month. I always thought people were joking about COD lobbies in the US.

[dreamy ice]

Theres a strong deal of irony in saying the only way to solve racism is with discrimination

[wintry sedge]

Excluding players who play tactical shooter games with controller is ableism.

[dreamy ice]

Heres a little secret about the controller vs m&k fight they dont want you to know: PC players are potato as fuck too

[hard epoch]

[icy panther]

I've had something similar happen as well

[subtle fable]

please use Feedback tracker to create ticket https://feedback.bistudio.com/w/ft_ar_howto/ or if it is related to todays playtest then #1162326162689757204

[elfin blaze]

I'm checking on Reforger every now and then to see if it's time to get into the action. Has the 3rd person exploit where you can peek around obstacles without being seen been fixed yet? Last time I asked I was told that there were no 1st person only servers, are there any right now?

[hard epoch]

well this exploit is fixed only by disabling third person camera, yes there are servers that turn it off

[wintry sedge]

just fyi, none of those servers has more than 2 players.

[hard epoch]

that's probably because the third person is turned off

[elfin blaze]

I'm asking about a fix, because it's conceivable that Bohemia could address this issue without enforcing first person. They just have to not render opponents unless there is line of sight between the player characters eyeballs and the enemy units.

Such a waste of a good game, I tried it out for 2h and did otherwise like it. Had to refund it.

[floral junco]

I doubt that any game has it well technically resolved that you can't see something with the third person.

[deep galleon]

No clue if it still has it, but last time I checked SCUM used that system, and it was terrible. You could be shot by an invisible player because he wasnt rendered in in time.

[floral junco]

Apart from the latencies problems, the player should not be able to see anything outside of his field of vision from the game environment. Otherwise, it still gives the players an advantage - you can see the access routes where someone will go or you can think about the route where you will move, you can see if doors open, effects such as light, impact of bullets, smoke.

[elfin blaze]

What is the general consensus about 3rd person x-ray peeking in the wider Arma community? Are there any significant number of players sticking to 1st person only in Arma 3 that would suggest that a 1st person community will eventually form around Reforger/Arma 4?

[floral junco]

I don't know about Arma 3, but DayZ has a lot of first person only servers, they are also official. The problem with Reforger is that the game community is very small, so there are only a few servers where you can play.

Anyway, most people on PC play in first person and don't really care if someone peaks or not?

[elfin blaze]

Playing in first person against opponents sitting behind cover and being able to see you as you approach would be no different than playing against wallhackers. I'm not paying $29 to play against cheaters.

[wintry sedge]

amen to that.

[deep galleon]

I'd play 1PP only if the server was set up that way, but I won't give myself a disadvantage, the hitreg and other issues can already feel unfair depending on who gets hit with it. 🥴

[wintry sedge]

Most of what I do now is run supplies and buil bases, because gunfights against 3rd person peaking is not satisfying. guns stopping bullets, and bad hitreg played a huge factor into that too.

[deep galleon]

I still miss the days where a couple of shots were enough, not an entire RPK Magazine.

[elfin blaze]

I might pick up the game once it turns into Arma 4 if there is a large enough first person player base.

It's so frustrating, because I'm pretty sure I would have a blast with it if it wasn't for this stupid design decision.

[floral junco]

I wonder how many times in a game someone kills you because they're looking around the corner in third person. Will that be like 1% death or something?

[wintry sedge]

We have a competitive match coming up in a month, and I'm exited to see how will that works with 3rd person.

[elfin blaze]

Didn't know there was a competitive scene, does Arma 3 have one too? Are they both 3rd person?

[wintry sedge]

There isn't a competitive scene yet. We are trying to make one. This will be the first match.

[elfin blaze]

A competitive scene would be the first place I would expect to find a 1st person only restriction. I hope you can make it happen.

[quiet remnant]

same

even though I prefer vehicles on 3rd person view

[signal yoke]

I mostly use 3rd person to reverse the trucks. It be nice to have working mirrors, or maybe moving your head around the cabin to look around better.

[floral junco]

Some of the mirrors can't be seen at all through the pillar in the interior of the vehicle, they'd probably have to do some tilting as well.

[dreamy ice]

I would be burned at the stake for it, but out of anything I think vehicles are what need first person only the most. 😆

A lot of vehicles are way too overpowered with third person and removes their downsides and weaknesses

A tank is trvially capable of identifying potential landmines because of a magical third person camera. Can see and react to infantry approaching up close or trying to hide in blind spots.
Helicopters can see everything, despite pilots having a fairly limited range of vision from the pilots seat first person view.

[azure brook]

FPP only servers are my favorite cause they enforce good gameplay and decision making. Can't just Fortnite aim around a corner

[deep galleon]

I'd be interested in seeing how one plays, but there's no vanilla populated ones I know of.

@timid elk server advertising can be done in #communities_arma3 / #communities_xbox this channel is only for/to discuss Reforger MP, not for advertising.

you could rent a server and start a 1pp only community

Need to port forward. I had same issue initially

[normal shell]

Granps, Using your excellent scenario, How do i get helicopters to spawn, Do i need a airport location, or do i need to load a extra mod 🙂

[mystic sluice]

I already did that for all ports

[craggy needle]

Make sure you forward in windows firewall and your router. For me I had to set the following to get it to work. TCP: 27015, 27036
UDP: 2001, 17777, 27015, 27031-27036

[mystic sluice]

How do I forward it through my firewall?

[craggy needle]

Julst google port forwarding and whatever version of windows you use and you'll get step by step instructions for creating exeption rules through windows firewall. If you use a third party firewall google it plus port forwarding for instructions specific to your use

[mystic sluice]

Alright thanks

[elfin blaze]

Is there any way to report griefers to BI? Every other day I run in to some xxxhat who darts around dismantling all the bases or shoot people on spawn. We tried to votekick one for 30 minutes just now and he's still on the server dismantling everything. What is the vote threshold to kick someone? I'm not even sure my vote goes through because I get no confirmation when I go into the player list and press vote to kick. Game tells me to hold F4 to vote yes, but it apparently does nothing.

[bold bronze]

no damage cheater? https://youtu.be/XsRAgh0vgDQ?si=HKtt_Dr5YVfYSryj

damn it. i switched from tarkov to reforger because i'm tired of cheaters, and here's the same thing 🤮

[wintry sedge]

In reforger it is lag, not cheaters.

[dreamy ice]

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because you were already dead

#videos_arma message
#reforger_experimental message

[elfin blaze]

Ran into a bug where neither me or my opponent could deal any damage to each other despite being point blank. What you experienced is most likely a bug as well.

[deft night]

I had this happen, but after testing, found out from another player that we were about 2m from where we thought we were, shooting off into the distance. Some kind of desync issue perhaps?

[rough iron]

Most likely, yesterday I saw a guy sitting on the ground and someone was shooting well above his head as if he were standing not sitting.

[viscid elbow]

All bullets hit the rpg and the gear.

[polar veldt]

This seems like an desync of the weapon

You can tell by not being able to swap weapons. Whenever something like this happens try to fall off of something, that usually fixes it.

[bold bronze]

and this stops all the bullets? ok...

[agile rivet]

Yes even binoculars

All gear is made out of best armor material known to mankind: plot armor

[deft night]

Just ensure you always carry an RPG and the same gear the Solider had in the video. You'll be ok.

[agile rivet]

No that on video was desync as much as i can see. Enemy didnt twitch nor did he seem to hear anyone blasting right behind him. He didnt even see the guy when he turned around briefly.

Also bullets go thru backpacks, they dont have plot armor

[final plover]

is the problem known? and can we currently say how long this will take?

[hot plaza]

Ive been seeing the same warning for about 4 days, but it has not affected multiplayer for me in any way

[elfin blaze]

I think this roughly translates to multiplayer servers or clients crash a couple of times a day, which has been my experience with the game so far. It's perfectly playable for the most part.

[agile rivet]

This refers to master server (backend). And has mostly nothing to do with server or player crashes

[zealous magnet]

is anyone else having issue with failed mods which makes me unable to join servers more for this channel?

[somber delta]

Ive got the same issue as well as around 20 other players at the moment.

Could someone with a little Private Server knowledge assist me please.

[soft orbit]

anyone know to to fix this every other mod is downloading but these three ive tried verifying the game files and still dont work

[pulsar mist]

are projectiles computed on the server or the client?

[hard epoch]

Both, but only serverside hits count for damage

[pulsar mist]

Damn, so it depends on how performant the server is?

[agile rivet]

Yes. And client fps, connection quality

[hard epoch]

bad server performance means your hit will register 100 milliseconds later (assuming you do hit them on the server)

[ionic fractal]

does modded reforger have a strong community

[normal shell]

Delete them from your addons folder, and try again

[soft orbit]

how do you access the workshop folder

[normal shell]

c:\users\documents\MyGames\ArmaReforgerWorkbench, Then open your Addons folder and delete the broken ones

[soft orbit]

when i open reforger files i dont have the workbench one

[rough iron]

For your client it's just the "Arma reforger" folder

[tawny folio]

i personally think it does, it’s nowhere near the level of Arma 3 due to its already robust modding community and the hesitancy to move towards Reforger. i personally think that it’s growing pains and it will hit its stride sooner rather than later. most of the guys i play with are interested in the mod tools and we’re learning slowly but surely 😃

[hard mesa]

Does anybody know why I keep getting this message every time i try to join my friends multiplayer server?

[agile rivet]

• port forwarding wrong
• server config wrong

[viscid elbow]

Some british guy told me that because of supply duping thats why you get group=1 replication 😂

[hard mesa]

Are you sure? because i have like 3 other friends that joined it fine, im the only one who cant, and i have all the mod they have as well.

[agile rivet]

Group 1 - replication is general group that is basically communication between you and server. Then you have reasons:

• shutdown: server closed cleanly
• timeout: your client or server didnt respond in timely fashion
• flooded: client overwhelmed by packets
• stalled: your connection doesnt sustain
• connection failure: server cant be found/connected to

So group replication doesnt mean shit, reason does

[agile rivet]

Okay... can you see server in browser? Are you on same branch exp/stable? Are you on same network or same pc as the server?

[hard mesa]

I'm on a LAN server

[agile rivet]

And your friends arent, i take it?

[hard mesa]

no they are, dont worry about i figured it out, they were using a Hammachi server

thanks for the help anyways 👍

Wierd setup, but whatever works for you.

[quiet remnant]

I wonder from where some people get their information or do they straight make it up.

[hard epoch]

usually it goes like this:

1. someone does something
2. crash
3. omg it must be the thing they were doing (even if there's 5000 other things happening at the same time)

I think the first thing you learn in a statistics class is that correlation is not causation

[quiet remnant]

yeah

it's funny

[brisk elm]

does anyone know how to unban someone from a lan server in arma reforger?

[wintry sedge]

The GM need to login, then type in chat #bans list. That will give you the id of all banned players. Then you need to write that id down somewhere (for this example let's say it is 1234567890). Then the GM need to type in chat #ban remove 1234567890

[brisk elm]

thanks

what would the player ID be?

is it the whole line

[wintry sedge]

fab...332

Everything between these characters.

[hard epoch]

so that would be #unban 0

[wintry sedge]

I've been told that was changed.

[brisk elm]

not sure what to do

i have tried like 3 times

[hard epoch]

in experimental? what about main?

[wintry sedge]

me no know that mr bacon

[hard epoch]

on main it should be #unban playerid (or banid) so in his case 0

[wintry sedge]

Try what bacon is saying, type this in chat #unban 0

[hard epoch]

I refuse to believe it needs the entire player identity id it would be hell to type this out

[brisk elm]

he unbanned

[hard epoch]

yay!!!

[granite dust]

Are bohemia services down at this time for regular maintenance or? I can't connect to my dedicated server because services are down

I'm having connection issues as wll.

Finding it's like... all bohemia related things are down

[quick marten]

Even arma 3?

[granite dust]

DDOS or something?

IDK about arma 3. Their websites are down, at least in my region... IDK if they have multiple web servers

[steady garden]

whats ur region

[granite dust]

US East

[steady garden]

i think you mean loserville

[granite dust]

🤣

[winged jay]

so arma is down pff

[granite dust]

whatever platform they use to host their stuff on, looks to be down yeah.

[quick marten]

Maybe we can go touch grass now..

[frail apex]

it looks like yeah

[granite dust]

it was their plan all along to get us to touch grass!

[quick marten]

Man I was ready for some fun

[granite dust]

same.... I was ready for friends to test the version of our mod

[quick marten]

What do you do on the server you run?

[granite dust]

We're making an extraction shooter in reforger, that's coop oriented because we enjoy it

Got loot spawning in furniture, AI spawning in buildings, persistent loadouts

[winged jay]

has this happened b4? im only 100hours in the game so idk if it was a problem

[granite dust]

That's a good question, can't say I've seen this happen before

[quick marten]

Nice, I can't wait for them to add AI that can drive lmao

[granite dust]

.... that is literally going to be a game changer. I see they have AI related things for cover systems and driving in the game just not enabled. I know they're working on it at least

[quick marten]

Servers going down is a common thing for server-based games, especially in early access. It's most likely some maintnence going on that wasn't announced.

[winged jay]

im thinkin of a M/A but who knows xD

[granite dust]

IDK about you, but typically that's like.... a few things go down. Not all things Bohemia at once

[frail apex]

Their homepage are down too

[granite dust]

that's why I don't think this is just your typical maintenance

[winged jay]

maybe 1.0? xD

[quick marten]

Don't get everyones hopes up now.

[winged jay]

well 😄 it might aswell be, cuz i played a bunch of games where when they do m/a they do it like this usualy

[granite dust]

including their websites going down? IDKKKK about that lol

[winged jay]

yeah with websites down

but they usualy announce that, and for this didnt see no announcement so ehh

[granite dust]

announcement on site
site not online

maybe that's what happened lol

sites back online!

[winged jay]

[quick marten]

Servers might be coming back up.

[granite dust]

[winged jay]

yall playin officials or moded?

[quick marten]

Modded

[winged jay]

dang i wish i could play those

[untold dew]

Servers are up again

[winged jay]

@prisma sundialwelp my pc aint that strong to hold all the mods + players xD i barely play on conflict with 32 players with 60-140 fps

[rustic mason]

Any of you guys see a difference in the stability between experimental and the base game servers. Experimental takes long to launch, but it’s servers are way more stable, bc those power-bit servers are super unstable in base game, but not experimental

So I have experienced

[elfin blaze]

I last on average 15 minutes on the Powerbits server on stabil before it crashes on me. Makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong becuse It's always packed.

[round tundra]

Powerbit can run full match once in a 10 crashes, but it have 80 players, so thats might be reason. Its always packed because ppl enjoy more pvp, so even if it kicks me every hour, im gonna rejoin that than play on empty everon 16v16 and thats a reason its always packed.

I wonder if reason why its like that might be some ppl spamming objects on the ground/buildables, or even sometimes i see ppl placing like 100 anti tank mines in one spot, might be that?

Also abandoned vehicles over time might put a brick into that

[hard epoch]

yeah, no

hard to say why it crash without access to server logs, no need to guess random things

[reef glade]

Nah its not that stuff.
I once saw it crash, I rejoined, we hadn't even made it to our first objective when it crashed again.
Legit five minutes.

[fair wolf]

PBIT is European, it might help if NA players tried Azimuth. The servers having to deal with out of sync clients can't be good for overall stability.

[obtuse horizon]

Any serves I can join

Note: Please follow the templates in those channels (if applicable), and don't use them for discussions.

[obtuse horizon]

Yoo

[shadow quartz]

Looks like Azimuth will be the first North american hardcore conflict server on Reforger if we go from exp to stable today. Wonder if we'll ever get rear view mirrors 🥲

[viscid elbow]

azimuth? is it modded

[shadow quartz]

fresh server and community. they're taking suggestions but right now the plan is an unmodded HC server which is 1pp and some other changes then a regular modern conflict(modded). So two conflict servers up. Could end up being more

[shadow quartz]

check dms

[tight stirrup]

Hey guys, i am setting up a reforger server at the moment and for that i am trying out several Mods.
While doing that some errors occour and i hope some of you may help me getting things clear.

1. With some Mods installed my server doesn't start up well an is not shown in the Serverbrowser. So far so good.

2. Sometime (different Mods aktive) Server is shown in the Serverbrowser but name is grayed out and details cant be shown? What is the meaning behind this?

3. Some Mods seemed to be out of date and/or not proper working... is there another possibility to test this without loading the server with an new Config?

4. (Game Master specific) Do you know a possibility to save structures in Game Master, so even after an server crash or restart structures will stay on the Map?
   For now i need to build a new FOB everytime Server boots up.

Thank you in advance and excuses for possible typo's English is not my first language.
Greetings and Happy Hunting 😉

[azure nacelle]

I think for #4 you can create a custom scenario and build anything you want and it will save.

[granite dust]

It's just a ragtag group of friends making a mod we want to play. Totally taking bits and pieces from mods as learning pieces 🤣
We have a server but I don't keep it up all the time, also locked by IP. Anytime I host games my gateway gets pinged by things it deems nefarious and blocks traffic. So as a precaution I whitelist my friends IPs.

https://github.com/TrainWreckers/Extraction

Can follow the shenanigans here 🤣 . Currently using Experimental version of the game. After the good bit of learning I've done in the past few weeks on this mod I already want to rewrite it using lessons learned.

[hot plaza]

You have a link to their discord? Ive been looking for a HC vanilla conflict for ages

[shadow quartz]

Check dm

[azure brook]

Bro is summoning the mods with that one

[shadow quartz]

IDK RIGHT NOW ALL THE SERVERS ARE SLAP FULL, I DONT SEE WHY THEY'D HATE MORE PEOPLE PLAYING THEIR GAME

Im not recruiting for anything. Just saying hey, theres a NA server open if you cant find one

[dusty hemlock]

Your moms an NA server💪💪💪

https://tenor.com/view/owned-burn-gif-10579856

[fading token]

lmao gottem

[shadow quartz]

my feelings are hurt, please permanently ban, thank you

[shadow quartz]

Watxh out you get banned for posting memes and gifs someone will tell on you

[tawny folio]

anyone know it there's a new server config that needs to be done? trying to get 2 servers I manage back up but they keep kicking the bucket. I'm sure they haven't updated the wiki yet because it looks exactly the same as before 1.0

[shadow quartz]

Are there any first person only conflict servers up right now? In North America??

[drowsy basin]

Yea, theirs a new server that just launched today called azimuth, its pretty fun, they have a 1st person vanilla server, and eventually will be a 2nd server with more modern things for players who want either

[wintry sedge]

Dude... Like come on. You can't be real with this.

This is hilarious. 🤣

[silk tide]

ya man i played here earlier today it was perfect

[drowsy basin]

Just found it yesterday on EXP

Ran smooth as hell

[wintry sedge]

Real talk, did you guys script the entire conversation, or is it improvised?

[drowsy basin]

I dont know either of em

[shadow quartz]

ya we should police everything to death!! destroy an already tiny community yeah!!!

a community that you have a stake in growing I might add

[crisp oasis]

Make sure you deleted all your pre exiting mods out your add on folder

[tawny folio]

oh yeah, facepalm moment lol

[crisp oasis]

Ofc course brother

[tawny folio]

ah dang, still not coming up. Could it be an issue with binded ports? saw in the wiki it may be best to leave those blank, only thing i haven't tried yet

[olive veldt]

Hey there! Does Arma Reforger have Crossplay? :0?

[storm mica]

Yes

[tepid gull]

anybody out here on pc wanna play w me??? DM ME if so

[pliant oasis]

@tepid gull #looking_for_game is the place to look for players

[tepid gull]

thank you

[sweet dragon]

Would this be considered a J Hook landing?

[hushed brook]

can someone helpo me

[quiet remnant]

no

It's still a good landing

[crisp oasis]

Send me your log bro I’ll take a look

[tardy cove]

Yes, also, Gooooooos mornin vietnaaaaaaaam!

[sweet dragon]

Damn 😭

[crisp oasis]

has anyone been experincing crazy ping levels??

I have this error. how do i solve?

[frail apex]

Not me, since I have everything connected with high-speed internet cables and so are the cables connected to my high-speed PC. My question for you, do you also have it connected with the cable? or by WIFI?

[dire berry]

there are no Addon ID on server console.

[crisp oasis]

by cable!!

[hard epoch]

honestly your home wifi probably wont increase ping by more than a few milliseconds unless your signal strength is like 1/5 bars

[neon mist]

Are there any servers that are noob friendly? I really want to learn and get into this game

[vagrant fern]

Play spec ops you fight ai and can learn the controls without having to worry about getting sniped from across the world

[neon mist]

Is it players Vs ai?

[vagrant fern]

Yes

[agile rivet]

Combat ops*

[shadow quartz]

They all are tbh unless it says "experienced players" on the description

Just join an official conflict. The ai in this game are worthless currently. The game was meant for pvp and to highlight that

[neon mist]

I'll try combat ops to get my bearings then I'll move on to multiplayer

I struggle with map reading, positioning etc .

[agile rivet]

Tutorial then

[wintry sedge]

For real though, do the tutorial first, then join any server, and tag along some players. It is the best way to learn the game.

[quiet remnant]

thats just game sense

you will get that with time

[shadow quartz]

The tutorial is good. Like a little single player mission

If more people played the tutorial, this game would be soooo much more fun. Not that teaching people is annoying but

[neon mist]

I'm playing Xbox, I will try again but got stuck with my finding my location on the map

[shadow quartz]

Look bottom right of the map. Will tell you where you are. You just have to use some maths and common sense to tell where you're at

[shadow quartz]

Yet another lesser known tip because nobody plays the tutorial 😂

[solar plank]

Does anyone know if there's a way to restart a conflict server and not lose progress?

[deep galleon]

I haven't tried this myself, but apparently you can use the GM save function in Conflict as a gamemaster to save and load your progress, minus entities and supplies which don't get saved. Let me know if it works.

[solar plank]

Yeah, I'll give it a try.

[deep galleon]

There also seems to be some mention of a server setting to save progress if you search for 'progress' in #reforger_servers

[lament laurel]

#reforger_conflict message

[frail apex]

Tutorial

[austere tundra]

Anyone else gets super good frames, like 80-90 while playing modded servers; then 5 minutes later you cant even get 6

[prisma sundial]

#reforger_discussion were figuring it out.

[normal shell]

I pu this on server start line " -loadSessionSave" and it saved buildings, but not vehicles 😦

[rough iron]

turns out that parameter is saving built supply services even after match end for the next match, so you will have radio relays and vehicle depots etc pre built if you dont manually delete the save file between matches.

i dont like making it easy so ive turned it off for now until thats fixed

[median sentinel]

Yes. Every game

[lament laurel]

I have an AMD gpu and I was running 23.9.1 since certain bushes and flowers don't get rendered at a certain distance on the newer drivers with my gpu (5700XT) and when I tried 1.0 stable I was having this issue. This did not occur while it was in Experimental for weeks leading up to 1.0 stable but I was able to fix the FPS issue by installing the latest driver 23.11.1

However..

I now have the render distance issue again for certain ground clutter like the flowers introduced in the birds and bees update

[onyx dune]

Newest AMD driver ground clutter issue, should be fixed in the next update, if I'm not wrong

[lament laurel]

I hope so, it makes such a big difference in how the environment looks

[austere tundra]

Yeah for me it’s like I’m fine with official servers but any modded server shits itself in 5 minutes

[remote obsidian]

We need more official servers! Both Aus official servers are at capacity

[modern snow]

Guys could you please tell me if there are RP european servers well populated ?

[prisma sundial]

yes

[shadow quartz]

Lol they are capped at 32 and most other servers seem to run much better. There are plenty of servers with conflict game modes like darkgru etc

[remote obsidian]

I couldnt find a single other unmodded australian server unfortunately

[deep bridge]

why is arma reforger the only game that i get 1000 ping in at night, every night, for hours. other than reforger my ping is in the 30's. now i can't even search for servers. what gives

[dire berry]

Hello guys, I have two computers.

i7-9700k and Xeon Silver 4210.

Which CPU does it more performance to Reforger server?

NVMe SSD and RAM is same thing-
Samsung PM9A1 / Samsung DDR4 19200 32GB * 2

and it will be installed Ubuntu 20.04

[hard epoch]

9700k

[dire berry]

thank you

[tepid gull]

why was my msg deleted for looking for friends in here for caps and recruiting

it doesnt say anywhere in the rules you cant find friends or type in capitals

[worldly flower]

Same issue here. Why do I have a ping in the lobby of the game too? I'm not connected to anything (or am I?)

What kind of server are we connecting to? Some dudes computer at BI HQ in Czech?

[pliant oasis]

@tepid gull yes it does, 1) caps: > Users are entitled to their own opinions or views, yet arguments shall be kept polite and civil.
Shouting (aka ALL CAPS on the internet), is not considered "polite", there are other ways to highlight a message with discord (without shouting the entire message).

2. community advertising/recruiting outside community channels: well see the pinned messages (rule nr8 on this discord).

And want to discuss #rules you can use #discord_server as that channel is for those discussions.

[toxic panther]

Hello friends, I want to create my own server in arma reforger, please tell me, I have a PC, Ryzen 5 5600x 64gb RAM 3200mhz, 2ssd x 512gb + 1hdd 1tb backups, are these resources enough for a server for 120 people?

[hard epoch]

no, it might struggle past 50

maybe without AI it can do more

[toxic panther]

Why? What is the main load?

[hard epoch]

processor

I don't believe there is currently a processor fast enough to run a conflict mission with 128 players and AI without frame dips

for 64 players with AI I would recommend at least ryzen 7600X or ryzen 7900, 7700X for multiple servers

of course that's just my opinion and you are free to disregard it

[toxic panther]

hmm, what if the server is without AI?

[hard epoch]

I know that 64 players + AI sometimes struggles on a ryzen 7700X and a ryzen 5600x is 20% slower (in single thread performance)

[grand flax]

Could anyone help me, I'm trying to play on a friend's server but every time I log in my Ping is 999ms and I end up being disconnected from the server, is there any way to improve this?

[fierce lynx]

All the modded servers seem like larping with a obvious us bias

[agile rivet]

You can make a new one and larp in favor of in USSR or FIA. Let nobody stop you!

[fierce lynx]

I'm actually going to trim down for balance, remove air and turn my server into the game squad couldn't make lol

Just going through the items and thought 20 pairs of the same glasses seemed like overkill

[agile rivet]

you do you!

[shadow quartz]

People will whine either way about it but azimuth and darkgru take solid steps towards balancing both sides gear/weapons

[silk tide]

there is a SEVERE lack of RU content on the workshop

so realistically; server owners are doing the best with what we have.

[fierce lynx]

yeah iv decided im going to build a squad like game mode and host it, Going to start small with AAS then add more in later. But going to atleast remove some of the clutter for balance sake and simplicity

[simple snow]

any australian dayz servers on reforger?

or any with good enough ping to play

[prisma sundial]

Seconded on that. I'm looking for something organised but not aggressively demanding on my schedule. If there's a once a week thing I can probably do that but not 4-8 hours a day. I already have a job 😅

[willow warren]

Hey guys. New to doing any Arma server set ups. It can all be done in game now?? When setting up I picks mods and scenarios I want use use then make live??

I can run this off my PC and play without issues??

Where do file tweaks get done i.e loot spawn times, zombies or Ai numbers

[prisma sundial]

I think you can use Nitrado. All their stuff is on the site if you know how the code works.

[willow warren]

Would rather not us Nitrado sorry absolutely terrible server hosting. Thanks tho 🙃

[hard epoch]

you can host on pc yes assuming your network checks all the boxes

[prisma sundial]

All G. Maybe just hop into a server and chat with people running it. Either via Discord or just in a game.

[willow warren]

Yeah will do. Might have a wee tinker with ingame server setup

[willow warren]

600mb fiber should be fine??

[hard epoch]

I don't really have the time to go into detail but you need to not be behind an ISP enforced NAT

[willow warren]

OK will have a look.

[clever oriole]

Does arma reforger support multiplayer from steam? (joining friends directly through steam)

or must we have a server with hamachi or portfoward (like arma 3)

[remote cedar]

You still need to set up a server for people to join, which is the same with all games which allows dedicated servers (I know it's rare nowadays).

[worldly flower]

You can have friends join from your Steam friends list, but port forwarding is still required.

https://portforward.com/arma-reforger/

[tawny folio]

anyone know how to "configure admin tools" we can't ban or kick griefing player due to the update

[hot plaza]

What provider do you use

[tawny folio]

i found the guide in the discord, lol

hidden very well, lol

@soft orchid this is not a recruitment channel, see pinned messages for the correct channels to use for advertising/recruiting.

Im sorry i didnt see it i was looking

[drowsy basin]

Hey do you know what the new reforger updates about? I didnt see anything about it

@drowsy basin No I am not a developer, guess to wait for a official statement about the update.

[sweet knot]

Hey guys! I'm having an issue playing the Overthrow mod with a friend. I port forwarded Arma Reforger and we have had no issues playing other scenarios. However, when he joins my game in Overthrow, the game thinks we are the same character. My stats turn into his stats and I can no longer progress my stats. And anything I do, he gets rewarded for but I do not.

I talked to the creator of Overthrow and he gave a few suggestions and none of them worked so he said to ask on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[agile rivet]

Thats down to scenario how it handles stuff. Not a server issue

[proud ice]

REPLICATION SHUTDOWN

[vale depot]

completely new player here, playing on xbox....and not having ANY idea where to go and what to do lol ....

I played a fair amount of SQUAD and there I never had any issues with orientation since spawns were a lot more "straight forward" and casual friendly.

is there some place (here, or on reddit or somewhere else) where I could find a "clan" or group to play with?

[agile rivet]

Means server has shutdown cleanly

[agile rivet]

Suggest tutorial, under scenarios

[vale depot]

I tried to play the tutorial but gave up on the map one since I could not handle the UI at all, map was laggy AF, stuff kept happening wiht delay etc, so I closed it again, thinking that (like in squad) I just could join a squad and fireteamleaders etc then would tell where to spawn and what to do etc

but that was not the case

[agile rivet]

Well if u cant handle ui in tut, you wont be able to handle it in game too.

[crisp oasis]

Delete your add on folder and reinstall mod

[static comet]

get this in my crash report everytime I load in to a modded server "SymGetSymFromAddr:487" saw someone talking about it, and they said to validate, and then reinstall mods, which didnt work. Idk what to do

[summer creek]

Does anyone know if having multiple Antennas built on 1 base will give you more supply faster???

[proud ice]

a US-MI Server is full of losers they tked me when I told them move the command truck off the signal hill in arland which we have all radio connected

bad idea when it can crossplay with some Xbox nerds Most xbox players are cool but in US-MI it seems different

[wintry sedge]

it does not.

[agile rivet]

But is harder to destroy them by enemy

[vale depot]

as an xbox player myself: I see where you are coming from but not everyone is like that ...you always have idiots on PC as well...not sure how servers in this game work, but shouldn't there be admins that can take care of such people? Also: votekicking them out should be NP when they royally fuck up

I love the game to be on xbox since I no longer can play SQUAD on PC (health issues, so mostly have to lie down when playing what is a lot easier with a controller)...and I personally would hate when people turn off crossplay:

Generally: teach them how to be better players.

[old thistle]

Guys, can someone explain to me how does the supply system work? Do I get supplies only by the Antenna or also other building?

[agile rivet]

I do suggest playing tutorial

[old thistle]

I played it but not the building stuff I was more interested in combat hahah

I will do that now

[pliant oasis]

@mossy patrol see pinned messages (don't crosspost, see #rules )

[soft sentinel]

Supply.point are the green dots yous on the map, there are also unmarked supply caches dotted around the map, unloading supplies happen at command posts initially and as you build stuff, say an armoury, that adds additional supply space so you can unload more, the more buildings the higher the supply space is at objectives, any vehicle be loaded with supplies, I hope that helps a little dude

[proud ice]

ty body. If I teach them they will be more mad.So I quit that game for less mental dmg with both of us. Sure we have idiots on both platform but more ppl are cool guys just like you and me. At least in this game be a normal ppl like in real life is above averagebehavior level of all players. Hope we both wont met toxic ppl like I mentioned before they just cant listen or be suggested like rebel teens.

[frank plank]

Sometimes it's in the manner of delivery too, something that as a direct person I've struggled with sometimes. Perhaps asking if anyone minds if you relocate the asset to a more effective location might elicit a more favourable response.
Not doing so on potentially compromised frequencies might be a further consideration.

[umbral flume]

Are there alot of pvp servers or all pve?

[bold bronze]

both

[dire iris]

Anyone want to run some pve scenarios with me?

[median kite]

Last night I played on public AP-SY server. It was fun when hitreg actually functioning. Need to play on server with 120 and below ping now.

[worldly flower]

Hosting a small 4 -player coop - my mouse was working (Freelook, inventory, map, etc), but it stopped moving my weapon around.

I also had issues at one point where I couldnt AIM my weapon.

Anyone experience anything like this?

[shadow fossil]

I just play conflict, much better 👌

[dire iris]

ive had this happen before bro. Its normally my left and right input from the mouse. Its strange though because i can freelook left and right but with a gun in hand i cant go left or right. Not sure if thats what youre encountering

[worldly flower]

yes!

Only when moving the weapon. I can still use ALL mouse functionality

[dire iris]

You are not alone sir. Not sure if its a mod or what

[worldly flower]

I don't have any mods on

[dire iris]

hmmmm okay interesting. yes ive had that happen quite a bit lately

[worldly flower]

I thought maybe it was lag

I also thought maybe my joystick was messing with it, but I've NEVER had that problem before

[dire iris]

nahhh i think its an actual bug/issue. Glad im not alone

[neon mist]

Are there any KOTH servers?

[viscid elbow]

No

[quiet remnant]

I think there is one

[neon mist]

If I want to use modded/custom missions can I use them solo in single player or do I have to own a server?

I just wanna run some scenarios solo

[agile rivet]

You can do solo. Just load mods in mod manager

[neon mist]

Can you use unofficial mods on official servers? for example BloodLust2

[median kite]

don't think so. Even if you enable it, once you join the server, mods that are not used in the server will be disabled.

[agile rivet]

You cant use own mods on server. Server always forces mods upon you. You dont get a choice unless you own server

[untold kettle]

Since the official release, i can't play on any server without being disconnected after 5-10 minutes of play time, even low populated ones. Before, i had the same issue, but it was way less frequent. Do you folks have any fix ?

[rough iron]

Have you tried looking at your logs for errors that could provide clues?

[simple meteor]

Hi there 🙂
I love playing Reforger the last couple of days - such tense athmosphere and having to be silent to get a drop on the enemy is just lovely immersive (we are chatty).

But today I made a sobering discovery: Armavision Exploitation. It is possible to see enemy (!) gamertags in Armavision.

It explains a couple of odd situations. I never never ask for any fixes, but this is such an egregious oversight in the PVP-focused Reforger. I can take invincible players, glitches, even that the 3-Person View can't be deactivated - albeit giving a huge advantage it needs line of sight.

But this Armavision exploit should never have happened.

(I hope this is the right place to drop my disappointment, otherwise I'd like to be directed to the right channel, thanks 🙂 )

[wintry sedge]

You should delete this and report this bug to the developers here : https://feedback.bistudio.com/tag/arma_reforger/
Mark it as a private bug report, so not to spread the exploit.

[simple meteor]

I would, but as we reported that to the server admins, they mentioned it is a known issue for over a year. Also... people are using it to their advantage already, causing sorrow. People deserve to know that their gameplay experience might be frustrating for a specific reason. It's not just team coordination and an overwatch sniper carrying a win. And I think this issue deserves publicity to the point of being fixed with priority. It is a PVP game first and foremost at the moment. Its released, and its not free. But thank you a lot for the input, I will raise it there too.

My squad mate already raised the issue:
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T177546

May be a bit strong worded...

[icy panther]

Armavision exploits are super useful. Personally I use it to check the map while unconscious.

[grizzled scaffold]

-Decide to become sniper and sneak behind enemy lines
-finds major base after an hour of sneaking behind enemy lines
-gets caught and shot unconscious, but miraculously self revives and enemy thinks i died
-attempts to reposition to get good snipe in
-slowly realize sniper rifle mysteriously gone and no where to be found
-deep sigh

[jaunty mango]

Question for the group: When launching a multiplayer game and saving and closing it. I am able to go back and "continue" the game but no one can join. If I Host the game I saved then it starts over.

Is there a way to relaunch a saved multiplayer game and still have the multiplayer settings so the other players can join ( loadSessionSave )

[strong snow]

Is it dedicated server?

[jaunty mango]

I was just now able to figure it out. THanks. I had to change the name of the saveloadgame

[strong snow]

Good for u) I was unable to host server. My friends cant connect. I tried to open ports. Same

[proud blade]

when you're wounded like that you drop your weapon... it doesn't stick to you like in Battlefield or CoD

[pine tusk]

Is there a way to download mods for my server with only owning the Xbox version of the game? I host on my own hardware and don't have a need for paid for hosts. Reforger also does not run at all on my pc but it hosts the server just fine so workshop isn't a possibility

yes, just add the desired mod id(s) to your server's config

you can find the mod id on the workshop website, https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop

there's an example at the bottom of the server config wiki page, https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Config#Example

Usually I got around 110-120 ping on AP-SY server, but now I got over 300-400 ping. Anyone knows why its like that? Is it my connection? Or something changed in game?

Ok but don't I need to have the mods themselves though? That's the issue is there is no where to get them

[crude moss]

you just need the mod id from the workshop page linked above (or from some other source)

So I just put the mods "code" into the json and it works?

Even though it's not downloaded on the pc at all?

Hi all, Not sure if this is the right channel but I had Arma installed for a pretty long time now, just never happened to have time to get into it. Yesterday I tried hopping onto a server but got kind confused about everything so hoping there are some ppl online to play with 🙂

Thanks

This isn't working

I still need the mods themselves, where can I get the mod files without having reforger on my pc?

[crude moss]

#reforger_servers, server will automatically download any required files, you don't have to get the files yourself

[pine tusk]

And if this isn't the case? (Just saying this might work on your machine but it absolutely isn't working in my situation)

Note, reforger is not installed on my pc

Only the server

[crude moss]

that's the only way except awkward sideloading for development. game is not required, server will do downloads on its own. check log for issues in config.

Omfg, lifesaver! It was an extra comma in my json

Did I understand you correctly, 3rd person perspective needs line of sight to render players being viewed? That would be huge and would make me really happy. The exploit of peeking above and around obstacles while in cover is by far the worst oversight in Reforger and it has no place in a competitive shooter game mode like conflict.
