reforger_multiplayer

[wintry sedge]

How old were you guys when you played gta vice city for the first time

[prisma sundial]

I didnt

[prisma sundial]

Like 22

[narrow shale]

13 I believe. Didnt speak english enough to understand dialogue, just mission briefing

[upper vine]

Just curious when will the game actually become stable for console? Because atp you can't even play modded or base game without lagging out, server stability just went down the drain

[shell orchid]

Can we get an ATF MOD and waco complex

💀

[prisma sundial]

Fucks sake lmao

[woeful pond]

14ish

[storm iron]

these guys are coming out of the woodworks, his proper username is simply "neen"

these folks are coordinated and are relentless

[hard epoch]

they do the tags so their username is not visible in markup or something? just play on a community server

[storm iron]

yeah <br> does that

it is pretty much HTML they use to enlarge usernames that usually have messed up shit on them

this one was caught cheating

[hard epoch]

a lot of the widgets in the game can do some markup yep

you can also do stringtable lookups using your player name

[storm iron]

i will upload clip in min, but yes they teleport, yes they disable using items, yes they disable aiming, and yes they can walk through walls

[hard epoch]

see #reforger_feedback message

[storm iron]

lmao that would make sense considering the AI names

here is video, decided to keep the guy in at the end bc of how funny it was repeatedly killing the cheater with him

[hard epoch]

bro has ESP and walks through walls but still sucks 💀

[storm iron]

yeah, we killed him 8 times. truly disappointing

but goes to show how coordinated our montignac defense was

[atomic gull]

Almost everyday they go on

[storm iron]

they are a little to organized for my liking, they take literal shifts in greifing servers, have countless fake accounts, and hack. they have even gone as far as targeting veteran players including myself and calling us "paedophiles" the sooner we get better fixes for vote kick the sooner this issue is resolved.

[icy jay]

this game will die soon if the griefing problem isn't adressed, no joke

[viscid elbow]

It wont

[icy jay]

ofc it won't

[hardy stone]

Had those guys in a server last night trying to pull my ip and threatened to SWAT me.

[icy jay]

absolute joke

the game also doesn't show it when people deconstruct stuff 90% of the time so people can just destroy radio towers without anyone knowing who did it

[storm iron]

this one has been VERY busy

[icy jay]

yup that fucking guy

absolute fucking joke man

[storm iron]

Not sure what immediate countermeasures are available to devs ATM, but I hope something comes soon

It is killing the experience for so many players

[icy jay]

such a good idea to add a cooldown!!!!!!!!!!! genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! means you can't kick large groups of griefers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

such a good idea to remove timed bans for repeatedly being kicked!!!!!!!!!! means they can rejoin instantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[storm iron]

It was a good idea, we begged for it at the beginning. But as it goes these people are creative and will find any way to ruin everything

[icy jay]

i'd rather deal with people doing a large amount of kicks than not being able to kick griefers at all

[hardy stone]

Kicking them is only a temporary solution there really needs to be a in game reporting system.

[storm iron]

Yeah, ATM there are many informed players who knows what to look out for, so if the vote system is fixed it should eliminate the issue entirely

[icy jay]

watch them only add this like next year or something

[storm iron]

And family sharing must be disabled, it is the biggest exploit

[icy jay]

like this server is full of messages reporting people and nothing is ever done, at least 6 messages alone reporting the lithuanian no name guy (steam id included) and nothing is ever done

[storm iron]

Devs know it is major issue and you think have added it to priority

[icy jay]

https://steamcommunity.com/id/catsik/ https://steamcommunity.com/id/coolguy885/ were(are) griefing on the US-NY server just now and changing their names to racial slurs and hiding their names in the player list using the /br tag

https://steamcommunity.com/id/yorebod this guy also

like i seriously don't get it, we serve the names of people who grief on a silver platter and NOTHING is done whatsoever

nothing ever happens, this has been getting worse since 1.2 experimental and is beginning to reach a breaking point

[civic vine]

Hey I’m new to all of this what’s a server I can join with mods right now

[storm iron]

Aha, that seems to be mine 😄

Except I don't destroy towers or teamkill buddy

No because my account is completely different

Glad you joined the discord chat neen

[icy jay]

i'm confused, is the linked account yours?

[viscid elbow]

No i think he means its using his ign

[storm iron]

He has just changed the username in screenshot, my actual profile is completely different with pfp and all

[icy jay]

this account?

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199112435451 because this is your actual account

[storm iron]

Yes this is my account 👍

[icy jay]

i don't get it, why did you say this then?

[storm iron]

Same name was what I meant

Ok, so then they obviously have used my name, sorry for the mix up

[viscid elbow]

Jackson trundle is most likely a troll account

One of the trolls account.

[storm iron]

Idk, these people change usernames like there is no tomorrow

[icy jay]

https://www.youtube.com/@FMKUP/videos https://www.youtube.com/@-hotel- some digging into the steam accounts revealed these youtube channels that have featured reforger trolling in the past

[storm iron]

I have gotten caught in crosshairs BC they don't like me educating new players how to deal with them, and reporting all of their accounts.

Yeah, he has copied my name and thrown it on his account for confusion

Jackson probably just screenshoted what he saw

It was a misunderstanding, Jackson is fine, but the griefer is copying names now

[icy jay]

https://soundcloud.com/fatprincess45 also this soundcloud account is linked (i think) to https://steamcommunity.com/id/yorebod

[storm iron]

I saw these folks on the server earlier

Oh well, I guess we will just need to post their usernames for awareness until the vote to kick is fixed, if it came with server que that would be great

Just watched the yt, this guy has been doing this crap from the start. He is truly dedicated

[wintry sedge]

dude lost his hair and said fuck it

if we can get this guy to donate his hair to the other guy, I think we will fix both of them.

[charred mango]

try to stay on topic, if there's something you wanna let us know regarding Discord policing, please open a ticket and post evidence there

[potent herald]

i just got arma reforger anyone tryna teach me the ropes and have sum fun

[ionic swift]

First do the tutorial that helps a lot

people would help you but if you dont even know the basic it take so much effort to do it

[prisma sundial]

Don't sprint into battle take it slow and also please communicate

[storm iron]

be weary of your supplies at first, run light but keep some vest on hand. stay a bit further back from the front of charge and help suppress enemy, you will get the hang of it quite quickly

no, I am a normal player and have been since launch 😆

the "br" guys hate my guts though due to me reporting them, idk if reporting them will even work tho

[woeful pond]

Mobility, knowledge and being observant are everythink for PVP

[silent sandal]

are servers down?

[compact bridge]

Anyone know of any servers that are just base game + ACE?

the overly modded servers are just too derpy for me

[viscid elbow]

Band of beardos

[compact bridge]

ill do a search for it.

Is it conflict or Game master?

[viscid elbow]

Seize and secure

Its his own gamemode

[compact bridge]

empty

[viscid elbow]

Yeah it is usually, they have times when they play

[compact bridge]

I see. Yeah im looking for PC Only, using Ace, and no other mods.

[viscid elbow]

It isnt pc only, i dont think any of the community ones are pc only

[compact bridge]

yeah, i need to keep looking. Honestly cant stand console players. Every time I have a bad experience with someone, trolling, racial slurs, general douchebaggery - console player %100 of the time

[viscid elbow]

Chucked you a message

[compact bridge]

example A -

[austere sierra]

@compact bridge I've been using the new Xbox voice chat moderation feature to get people who blast vile stuff on platoon or try to ridicule me for being disabled and rarely stammering my words banned

[prisma sundial]

That's funny tho ngl

[compact bridge]

His chat meltdown continued for like 10 minutes until I blocked him - it really wasnt funny at all, unless youre like ten years old. I dont want this shit in Arma.

[bold pebble]

Just keep blocking them? Doesn't really matter imo, just an avg unmoderated server. if you want ppl like them filtered you play a moderated(community) server

[royal obsidian]

Funny enough, as a console player I find it to be the other way around. Everytime I play a crossplay server there's insane teamkillling and griefing. And when I play Xbox only its quite cooperative and not brainrot.

But again you shouldn't assume things about all people, and it could've been xbox players griefing too. same way I shouldn't assume all computer players are bad cause I usually play with them.

[austere sierra]

It's mainly because Xbox players or so I've heard can't be banned

[royal obsidian]

Fair enough, I do think they should add a reputation system as being voted out and then coming back to grief 5 minutes later is idiotic

[hot plaza]

The muh peecee vs muh eckbawx fight only ever ends up in a flamewar tbh. In my experience there are trolls/griefers/etc on both sides. However, ive also found that xbox players tend to be younger on average and less experienced with arma-style games, while PC players normally have at least some previous contact with arma or games like it and are generally somewhat older

[austere sierra]

Increase voted out timer to 30 mins min maybe?

[royal obsidian]

Or better yet. If your found guilty of teamkilling enough, just straight up ban or timeout the player for a week

Accidental team killing can happen and I understand that, but a system of judgement is needed

[hot plaza]

Is there a temporary ban time after your first vote kick or can you rejoin immediately

[royal obsidian]

5 minutes

Which is the complaint

[austere sierra]

Absolutely! Also chat abuse on platoon is horrific so if you can find a solution to that could be nice to allow groups like mine with multiple squads can use it properly to communicate between ourselves and other squads who actually want to play arma the right way not listen to painter speeches

[austere sierra]

Too low imo

[royal obsidian]

They also need a feature to turn off platoon channel without turning off squad channel, unless that's a xbox only problem, sometimes I wish I could turn it off when someone starts whining about how they got killed.

[hot plaza]

You can just change the channel set to 48 to something else (48.5 is usually empty) and youll still be able to use radio without hearing platoon

[austere sierra]

Vote to mute people maybe?

[royal obsidian]

Ok good to know

[austere sierra]

You can't but that'd be a good feature

[hot plaza]

I rarely use platoon on official, its almost always clogged with garbage

[austere sierra]

Yeah but then the rest of the squads and SLs can't hear you when you are trying to coordinate. I always shout "Clear comms" when I hear people abusing it

[austere sierra]

And community like WCS and Powerbits

[royal obsidian]

Which is so true, only time to use it is when your doubting if friendlies are going to actually identify their target and not just shoot you 100m off because you were a thing moving in the field TOWARDS THE OBJECTIVE.

[hot plaza]

Thats true but imo if 48 is already a shitstorm no one will make use of any info you put through it

[hot plaza]

Both wcs and powerbits are usually fine for me

It depends on the time of day and which server

[austere sierra]

Yeah but it's nice to try communicating with the few who do want to

[austere sierra]

I've had terrible luck with rascism, anti disabled people on there

[royal obsidian]

Probably would be a more casual way to solve Platoon garbage. However only two problems. Is then if they do need to communicate in proximity, there's no verbal or hand communication yet in official, and the person straight up just starting to team kill cause they aren't heard.

[austere sierra]

Oh it would only apply to platoon not prox and Squad channels (maybe)

[royal obsidian]

That could work, I would say the entire radio would be muted, becuase the could just hop between squads to annoy everyone if they aren't private

[austere sierra]

True- I always run a private squad bit that's bc I play in a milsim group so know no different

[compact bridge]

how are you running private servers?

thats ideally what I want - just play small milsim operations with my friends like I do in Arma 3

[austere sierra]

Have a group server with a password?

[ionic swift]

I would suggest for now host it on your pc to see how it is

[compact bridge]

How do you launch a group server? In Arma 3 you just hit host and your friends can join, but form my understanding you cant do that in AR without a dedicated

[royal obsidian]

You can host on arma reforger for free, I just haven't ever been able to do it because it wouldn't let me load into my friends server he opened

[ionic swift]

they need to do some changes in their modem

[austere sierra]

I don't know, that's just how we do it

[royal obsidian]

But again that's also cause he's computer and I'm console so maybe there's something wrong with crossplay private servers

But I do know for a fact is you can host, I would just recommend finding a video that tells you how.

[viscid elbow]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/boot-camp-host-your-own-game

[ionic swift]

The host needs to do Prt Forwarding

[compact bridge]

it stink theres no proper mission editor because I want to use modded stuff like RHS, but hat doesnt work either.

[ionic swift]

need to dl Arma Reforger Tools

[compact bridge]

is that a mod?

[ionic swift]

thats where you make missions and edit stuff

[compact bridge]

yeah it sucks that the most popular for of arma is like... barely supported by reforger

[compact bridge]

Is there any way to access game master in the combat ops game modes?

[narrow shale]

Nice save

[viscid elbow]

Yeah by hosting a server and being a game master

[compact bridge]

Okay, I assume I can save the server settings/mods so I dont have to confure it each time by hitting "Save" but whenever I do that the game crashes - any fix here?

also, what about save/loading - I saw a lot of PVE missions on the workshop - is there anyway to like... host a private PVE Conflict mission, save it, then load it up next time my friends and I play

[hazy junco]

Hi guys am fresh meat here. I played the trial a while ago but can't remember most of what I learned. Just bought full copy today.

Anyone free to help a practical noob remember why he bought the game? Lol

[viscid elbow]

Do the tutorial

[long spruce]

Hey everyone, does anyone know how to add this command -loadSessionSave to a dedicated server? More specific on Nitrado.

[rough iron]

You need access to your start line, which I doubt nitradont gives you. You could ask them to add it for you, if not, I'd change to a provider that allows this.

[ionic swift]

My condolences on choosing Nitrado

[rough iron]

Nitradont***

[hot plaza]

The "N" in Nitrado stands for Npile of shit

[compact bridge]

I want to like reforgers conflict mode so badly but with all the derpers, trolls & racists, TKers, and main base campers this is just unplayable.

[ionic swift]

just gotta find the good serevers, and thats just Internet for you in a nutshell

[potent herald]

new to the game just tryna find chill people to go to war with

[spring kite]

yo

[ionic swift]

the best way is to just join Officials and play on few servers then know the regulars and play with them and in the most part they are good people

[inner rapids]

What key bin do I press to pull up on a aircraft?

[wintry sedge]

well you see, not having rules and being lawless is what makes reforger special.
do you really want to play a game where you are not called a slur every match? I don't think so.

[viscid elbow]

Caracal moment

[austere sierra]

Eh not really I don't want to be called slurs every game I play ngl

[austere sierra]

Nah it stands for N-o way I'm ever going to allow u to play

[ripe meteor]

Some of the official ones are pretty chill

I keep running into the guys from the previous day's games

[tepid tapir]

It’s pretty nice on a private server

[icy jay]

official is great when there isn't any trolls on

[drifting lark]

Too real. Some are worse than others. Best to just turn your radio off and solo on those. Or move to servers that are less toxic.

[icy jay]

and finding an official server without trolls now is essentially impossible

[drifting lark]

I actully found refuge in Offical last week lol.

[icy jay]

getting called a slur on us-ny speedrun any%

[compact bridge]

Well if I’m gonna play solo there’s just no point playing Arma IMO.
Arma is about teamwork and communication to me

[drifting lark]

Yeah. Heard that.

[bold pebble]

then bring your friends in, communicating randoms isn't always possible or feasible. With community severs you have a normal player base, but officials get tons of fresh blood

[drifting lark]

But also if you can't work with them. Put a bullet in em lol.

[drifting lark]

Yeah, freshies who are willing to learn > jerks.

[bold pebble]

When I played official a lot I knew some of the regulars of us-ny, and would work with them / they'd find me. otherwise youre running solo

Normally tho? when reforger was running more or less nicely during 1.1 my friends would logon and we'd just turn off platoon and run 2 squads, a lot more fun then dealing with the Afghan regular army that would ruin any op you happened to bring them to

[craggy panther]

I can't stand the people that request fire support and then go bone silent when asking for locations. Then those same people scream at you when you warn them to clear out of a poi that you specifically told them not to go into

[viscid elbow]

fire support with rocks?

[craggy panther]

With cobra choppers

[drifting lark]

Jesus Christ the Cobra choppers yesterday. 🤦‍♂️

US team was like: "Oh, after dying several times. I can't win this min pvp "Gun Game" within conflict? SO I'm pulling back up with MULTIPLE cobras.

[pliant oasis]

@drifting lark This is not a advertising channel as you can read in the pinned messages, either use #communities_arma3 / #communities_xbox for server advertising or use the channel #multiplayer_events to invite people on a set time and date. All those channels have rules in the pinned messages also, so do read them before posting, or to get channel roles for advertising.

[pliant oasis]

@drifting lark Once again, this is not the channel for that........

[drifting lark]

Yep.

Read.

[craggy panther]

Yep, that's a 1.0 moment right there

[craggy panther]

That guy's an ass for killing you for no reason

Sheez

[open goblet]

Talk to people you meet in proximity chat and you’ll find people that actually want to work together

Radio is cancer and a lot of people are too lazy to try and meet up with someone who may or may not be worthless. But if your next to them, they won’t mind you tagging along

[compact bridge]

Yeahs that’s mostly what I do.

I just really want to find a lightly modded (ACE mod mainly) conflict Milsim server. All the servers that use ACE have like 100 Uber tactical mods and I actually enjoy the 80s vibe of the base game

[halcyon marsh]

PLEASE FIX THE SUPPLIES EXPLOIT! Hotfix should have been out yesterday! 😄

[limpid marsh]

the supplies exploit still exist ? i thought its gone when they fixed lag with supplies

[halcyon marsh]

yep it still exist.

[lapis lily]

Nice cheater on the KOTH server

[austere sierra]

isnt their always at least 2 on that server? but come on man cheating on arma?

[lapis lily]

Yeah kids with no balls.. I know

[lament laurel]

I wish they would remove supplies in vicinity already, it's so annoying trying to defend a base or on the way to defend watching them on map drop the supplies on the ground to decay so nobody can respawn, etc

I mean, I can condition the community to play that way; FYI to all players, if you want to attack a base and not have enemy respawn just walk up to their supply areas and drop them on ground

[bold pebble]

This has gotta be my least favorite.. I've watched my team do it while we cap a base, and honestly i'm here to actually fight the enemy. not just walk base to base & stand on it

[lament laurel]

I've been avoiding using it since I found out about it, I can understand the mechanic if it only allowed putting in vehicles but COME ON lol

[bold pebble]

Like the supply glitch where ppl get major instantly? I don't really care, I think its lame, but it is what it is. But denying enemy spawns by just throwing sup on the ground sucks

[hot plaza]

Itd make more sense if each supply storage area could be destroyed/emptied with explosives or enough damage via rockets or w/e but right now its just "spam move til its empty"

[bold pebble]

It never gets loaded back in either, the ppl that are unloading it just go to the next base (didn't mean to hit reply lol)

[lament laurel]

at the very least I think the base should recognise the supplies on the ground and USE THEM for people who are defending

or whoever is using a supply costing service or w/e

[bold pebble]

Yeah, always found it odd that you can use supply dropped near you to use a resupply or medical pack, but a base can't do the same

[bold pebble]

Players are invulnerable while they're still loading then there is a half second of protection

Might be 5 seconds, but it disables as soon as they fire iirc

[halcyon marsh]

That guy had angels and 1min spawn protection 😄

[bold pebble]

He was still loading for most of that

[halcyon marsh]

yeah, i guess so.

[ionic swift]

but your clip is 18 secs

https://tenor.com/view/calculation-math-hangover-allen-zach-galifianakis-gif-6219070

[compact bridge]

man a server queing system would be extremely welcome

[ember void]

They have said their making one

[main venture]

Yeah they gotta fix the enemy spawning in top of you. If you are near a spawn it should block the spawn like every proper war game does it. It’s so immersion breaking.

[hot plaza]

I think it will if there are other spawn points (bunker or heavy depot) available but if they haven't been built you get the whole spawn and die instantly or spawn and spray hoping to kill someone before you die thing

[kindred girder]

I just have teamplay appear out of nowhere with random people I dont know.

[oblique oracle]

Any recommendations on cooperative missions mods that are specifically on the Arland map?

[sour crest]

Hello, how do I equip flares? I

[random sierra]

u mean shoot em?

[sour crest]

Yeah. If I grab them from the ammo supply how do I use them?

[random sierra]

attach a grenade launcher to your weapon

then use v to switch to grenades

[sour crest]

Grazi. Do you happen to know the equivalent of V for control

[sour crest]

Console*

[austere sierra]

3 line button+A

[main hare]

When you’re in a heli with the guy who can’t fly and you’re just waiting it out

[austere sierra]

That's me the pilot (or I was at first)

[compact bridge]

my friend cant seem to join my server one I host one locally - he ust gets connecting failed. How do I fix this?

[ionic swift]

have you done portforwarding ?

[compact bridge]

i tried, but no success

gave up - back to trying to spam rejoin W.C.S since BI somehow didnt include a server queue system like a normal game

i swear reforger like... doesnt want you to have fun in their game haha

ten minutes of spam clicking join - still cant get in

[austere sierra]

We need a queue system BI, and preferably on the hurry up- it's a basic feature imo, even BF4 which is 10 Years old atp has one

[small pond]

kindly begging bohemia to fix the netcode for this game when a bump on the road can show you going in three directions before telling you where your car actually is

[plucky nimbus]

anyone else not being able to join any servers because of replication error

[wary elm]

I hope they really hurry with the join queue, waiting and constantly spamming join is tedious

[compact bridge]

yeah seriously painful

[median valve]

Has server FPS thing been fixed?

[vivid cloak]

I played last night and the server was running terribly. But most of the bugs were fixed, the process is going well just need more time

Could've just been that session or server though

[wary elm]

How many players and with what performance could I host with the following server hardware:

12 dedicated cores of an AMD EPYC™ 9634
32 GB RAM
1TB NVMe SSD
2.5GB/s connection

[hard epoch]

let me put it this way, each core has ~2924 passmark score, and a core of a ryzen 7950x has ~4280 passmark score, and the ryzen 7950x cannot run 128 player conflict servers at stable 60 fps (arma server uses around 4 cores of that ryzen btw)

[vivid cloak]

128 is a lot more than Reforger itself can even run stable

[wary elm]

Thanks, so I can scrap that idea (I already have the mentioned server rented, for another, small project)

[hard epoch]

well you could run smaller servers relatively well, depending on game mode

[vivid cloak]

128 player servers are cool but get a lot more issues

I prefer a mix with AI anyways

[fleet tusk]

What do we think is the max we can get up to players plus AI?

[rough iron]

Really depends how many ai

[fleet tusk]

True I guess. Whats our max on AI alive/active/inplay?

[rough iron]

I think I start seeing performance drop after 300+ ai. But I regularly get about 450 with 38 players and it drops my server fps to about 30-40. I don't have the best hardware though so you could likely get more with better hardware.

[fleet tusk]

Good info. I'm slowly working towards a game mode that will have turreted base defences (easiest way to do that is to actually just throw an AI unit in it) - So I was curious how much it would cost me in player count. Something for me to think about.

[rough iron]

also the hardware and OS im using for that: Ryzen 5 5600X 6 core @ 4.45 GHz with 32GB RAM with Win Server 2019 Standard. Im sure you could do more with a better server.

I havent played on any but it seems 128 players with no ai is the limit for most.

[wary elm]

I would have liked to get at least 100 players without AI online, but seeing the performance of servers that use e.g. a 7950x compared to my Epyc cores I guess that will never work good enough.

Oh, and in Conflict with Vanilla and some mods to make it Vanilla+ (like ACE and Loadout Editor)

[kindred girder]

I think conflict is best without any AI

[viscid elbow]

Nope

[fleet tusk]

Hopefully we'll get into the 200s again, maybe 200 with AI 😁

One can dream. Although looking at the back end code. I'm not too sure. There's definitely a lot of calls and calls and calls. That must take their toll on resources.

[tribal vector]

Can someone please help me with dedicated server setup? I've created a custom mission in workbench and tested locally that it's OK. I've published to workshop and added the mod to the dedicated server. Then I've run reforger localy with the -listscenarios parameter and copied the mission path to the server's config.json. It yields this error in the log: 14:09:35.051 RESOURCES : GetResourceObject @"{A38FE13ED796C59F}Missions/Guerilla.conf" (new line) 14:09:35.052 RESOURCES (E): Failed to open

I assume I'm doing something wrong here, but I can't find a good tutorial on setting up a dedicated server with workshop missions.

[carmine briar]

Anyone setup hosting from W11 machine successfully? Not using dedicated server just in game hosting

[distant belfry]

Is a Queue for joining planned?

[daring vector]

yes

[desert ferry]

anyone need a medic for something ill be it

[icy jay]

things are going great

[prisma sundial]

How tf are you stacking supplies

[icy jay]

No idea, arrived and this was happening

[prisma sundial]

The things people manage to do lol

[fleet tusk]

Official server?

[vague atlas]

open inventory and drag the supplies out multiple times as fast as you can, the more laggy is the server the easier it is

[viscid elbow]

@agile rivet

[nimble hamlet]

What if its.. simple? No a.i. , less mission code, fewer vehicles? There was a discussion a while back. To me it would be a double win since conflict is crap. More actual players, no bots, no crap game mode? A 7950 can handle 128 then?

[icy jay]

Eu-FFM official conflict, the eu servers are so laggy that it’s made easier I guess

[vivid cloak]

This is actually people cheating and duplicating supplies.

[agile rivet]

?

[vivid cloak]

Duping.

[viscid elbow]

No i pinged marko to let him know

[viscid elbow]

Supply bender is back apparently

[agile rivet]

The quick time placement and deletion?

[deep galleon]

Idk if it's duping. It may just be to get around that limit where supplies don't regen anymore.
(It's probably duping)

[viscid elbow]

It is duping

[open goblet]

Yeah I saw a dude doing that once and thought he was trying to grief supplies or something. I bayoneted him and he’s like “bro I’m duping for us”

LMFAI

Good job Kavaleriya.

[pastel bison]

that cpu is stronker than the epic server cpu

[wary elm]

I know, that's why I won't put any time in setting up a Reforger server on my epyc machine. My message was meant like: seeing how the servers using a 7950x struggle with 100 players there is no way that my epyc server can handle anything close to it.

[pastel bison]

I mean its not that much better... bi needs to offload more AI among threads but they pretty much just have locked it down to a single core. I dont know what they are doing.

[lucid obsidian]

the gamelogic/network traffic is the bottleneck which can't be multithreaded -- even if all AI scripts are offloaded, their update ticks all require to fit into the gamelogic/network tick timing else wait till next tick -- shows as stutter/lag and interpolation between ticks on the client can only fix so much visually

[tawdry current]

yea they can just increase performance by toggling the multithreading option

smh my head these devs

[hard epoch]

u need to recharge the flux capacitor

[pastel bison]

you can do it in the older arma games why cant something like a integrated and dynamic headless client be done?

[vivid cloak]

It's a completely different engine/completely different game....

[pastel bison]

yeah ronnus thanks for the insightful comment I guess coding in C++ and general computing some how changes because its enfusion...

anyway what is promised by BI is that enfusion will take advantage of the cores it has available.

[fleet tusk]

Nothing stopping them from doing anything. They just need to put the effort into it.

[vivid cloak]

Lol

If it is just a toggle, didn't cause issues and improved performance, I'm sure it would've already been done.

I forget though I'm talking to the master game dev knower of all things, I'm so sorry sir.

[cosmic smelt]

Someone tried out dark gru? A few weeks ago i had problems with the ttk and other Server problems. I have to deinstall mods for that and wanna ask before i delete 😄

[tawdry summit]

Hey, is there anyone on an Xbox who's able to help me real quick?

I need to test the cross platform ability on my reforger server and just want to make sure I got it working

[dark ermine]

What’s server name

[tawdry summit]

Task Force Grim | ArmA Reforger Overthrow

PT123 is the password, if you could just see if you can join on xbox i'd rlly appreciate it bro ty

[dark ermine]

Nope

[tawdry summit]

ugh ty

[dark ermine]

I can try to help if it’s Nitrado

[tawdry summit]

nah unfortunately it's just me working on it alone

ty though, mind if i msg you again in the future to test again?

[tawdry summit]

@dark ermine hey, if you have some free time and are down to test it again on your xbox i got the server up and am not getting the RPL error this time

ty for your time bro

[cursive warren]

i can try that too as soon as i am at home, just DM me in the future if you need some help

[real vault]

Hey could anyone help me whenever im playing arma reforger multiplayer the game just randomly crashes and a message pops up on the top left of my screen

I've tk too much what do I have to do to reduce my punishment and the time that comes with it??

I'm trying to play normally but when ever I crash a car or choppi and sombody dies in the crash I get punished

I've been. Good about not shooting Friendly's but this getting in car crashes and it kicking me because driver is at fault for any passenger deaths like in a3 is making it so I don't want to play on official servers

What do I have to do

[fleet tusk]

That's always been the problem. He can't tell the difference between you crashing a helicopter full of people and you crashing into a pile of people with a helicopter.

[cobalt axle]

Anyone here running a heavily modded reforger server using a dedicated VPS box? Got a decent one and my server dies out at 30-35 people and the resources never go above 50% usage, this includes CPU, RAM, disk I/O and network I/O.
Using rocketnode professional tier(8 cores, 32GB RAM) and running the arma reforger dedicated server on it.

[pastel bison]

dont know, probably try without any mods first. I would say that actual server is needed not a virtual server

[cobalt axle]

It runs properly right up until i hit 30 people. When mods are the problem normally the mod itself errors and kicks a few people which I have gotten but it's not extreme and is a common occurence across all servers. I've been getting network disconnects like crazy once 30 people join, did manage to run 38 pop for a little while but after it just died. Anyone have issues with the dedicated server itself like this? Game servers that can handle more than 30 pop still run the Arma Reforger Dedicated Server like I am but they give a fancy UI to the game settings and configs. Need a virtual server for total control

[rough iron]

Virtual or actual server? Can't you have multiple virtual servers on one actual server? I'd say an actual server gives you total control.

[pastel bison]

probably a bandwidth limit set

[cobalt axle]

It's a virtual server pieced off of an actual server. I'm using 4C/8T from a 128T epyc processor and 32GB of RAM along with that. 850GB nvme SSD and my bandwidth doesnt go over 5% usage. Looking mainly to see if anyone else has tried to run the Dedicated Server and had problems at a certain player count and if they were able to fix it

I do appreciate the responses, never know when one might get me onto something I haven't tried

[river jolt]

arma like high freq cpu

am currently in EU hosting koth server on below specs with 2x80 slots, from BI itself there is no solution to go higher, engine is limiting it because of how much ppl in same bubble network

running linux on dedi and both servers on docker containers (hence being subject to current memory leak issues)

this is without any AI stuff

[cobalt axle]

What server host are you using? I am using a Windows VPS, I figured with what I have though I'd atleast be able to get more than a stable 30. I was getting the same problem with 4T and 8GB RAM. Now with 8T and 32GB RAM it crashes at 30 still. I can switch to the linux OS if that might also help with stability, mostly had windows due to ease of use and the server owner isn't used to a linux environment

[river jolt]

hetzner which is only EU afaik, 4C/8T means nothing honestly

you want the better cpu perf on single thread for arma https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html

maybe A4 and enfusion engine evolutions will change the game but for now, afaik its the best

[rough magnet]

Hello, I don't know where else to look so I came here, I recently bought the weapon reforger but when I enter the game, there is no server for me to enter, is the game really without a server or am I bugged?

[daring vector]

make sure you installed stable version and not experimental

[rough magnet]

Oh, I hadn't seen it lol, I'm so stupid

[cobalt axle]

Okay thank you, i'll look for servers like this, hoping I can get something decent at a decent price range. For just a single server but for 128 pop(really just anything more stable above 30) you think 8C/12T and 32GB of RAM would suffice

[atomic storm]

playing the armaconflict Fallujah server, US vs Insurgents

[river jolt]

again depend on the actual server specs and gamemod

basic conflict gamemod with a couple mods for 30 players a ~3ghz/4c with 16gb is enough might even go lower

[cobalt axle]

Alright, the one im running is more heavily modded so prob gonna just shoot for 8C or higher since I want to run some other things on there eventually like game->discord bots. I searched the cpu im using for single core perf and it comes up at rank 497, time to switch to something intel

[pastel bison]

hetzner also US

your gonna have to wait for the devs to deliver their promises of actually using multiple cores

which might not even come to this game tbh

[cobalt axle]

I couldnt find anything that had a powerful enough single threaded performance from hetzner, did find one though. Ryzen 9 7950X. Is #33 in the list for single threaded performance. Really hoping this works, got a lot of money into this lmao

[pastel bison]

hetzner is not really for games, its more for other stuff

[cobalt axle]

Any server(ig so long as the single threaded perf is solid) can be used for games. I'm looking for total control to give myself and the server owner the ability to do more with his server. The dedicated game server host he was using was very unstable, getting stuck in shutdown and start loops when the server would crash or restart

[pastel bison]

yeah I dont know much about this, Ive only rented a server for arma 3 a few years ago

[hard epoch]

at least 4000 points in the single thread list should be ok, assuming arma server uses only 4 or so cores a ryzen 7950X can host 3-4 servers okay while the 13900 can host 2 (13900 has 8 P cores, you dont want your server running on E cores)

also dont use windows, its slower than linux for reforger servers

[hard epoch]

remember that everyone uses the same arma server app, if your server runs into a game bug or mod bug it will crash regardless of where it runs

[cobalt axle]

Getting it up and running on a 7950X rn so thats really good to hear. And understandable with the game or mod bug, we've been able to feel out game/mod crashes and just server crashes. What we were running on makes sense previously, the single thread performance was trash tier and whether we had 4 or 8 cores it could only handle 30 or so players.

[hard epoch]

that sounds like nitrado (they use slow xeons) or anyone that does overselling (hint: i dont) where you promise 10 server owners 4 dedicated cores on a 16 core processor

[cobalt axle]

Yee this was after a switch off a host like that which caused major problems, some mod related and most host related. Switched to a VPS(the one with the trash tier CPU) and thanks to Sen and the extra bit of information of essentially to pay attention to single threaded count, explains a lot of what has been happening.

I was getting a nice and small piece of a epyc 7556P or something like that, i forget the numpers

[hard epoch]

it makes sense, hosting providers squeeze more money per hardware machine by provisioning more customers on it than it can handle, running on the assumption that only a minority of those customers will utilize the hardware they are being given

[cobalt axle]

Thats what i've been assuming after running a dayz server off nitrado. Trash tier servers pieced out to get a buck, so what if theres some stability issues you got ease of use

[hard epoch]

oh brother you have no idea what ease of use gaming server provider is like (dm for free trial)

but the epyc you mentioned is also like less than half as fast as the 7950X

so either just low single thread performance or overselling (could also be both)

[cobalt axle]

low single thread performance(ranked 497 on cpu benchmark) and different use case. If I was doing some rendering them it might be decent but def not good to run game servers off of

[hard epoch]

rendering usually scales well to multicore but arma server only knows how to use 4 on average

with my server stress test mod I could push it to use 10 cores of that ryzen but that usage is not realistic

[cobalt axle]

That stress test for personal use or would you mind sharing?

[hard epoch]

its on the workshop, just read description carefully

[cobalt axle]

bet thank you

[night harness]

We need FPV drones on WCS

[rough iron]

Maybe post in their discord about that then

Hey is there a decent Vietnam PvE server on Reforger? Been looking for something to scratch the itch EZ Unsung left behind on Arma 3

[potent shale]

theres only like 1 or 2 ive seen pop up but there is a pve afghanistan one

[tulip steeple]

These ai bots are hard, I be killing 3 or 4 but close range there lethal

[vivid cloak]

Gotta go guerrilla

[turbid ginkgo]

Reforged runs so much better than Arma 3

[tulip steeple]

No lie

[vivid cloak]

Yup

[tulip steeple]

It's kinda like tarkov but military style

I played arma 3 and didn't really like it but reforger is golden

[cold magnet]

i would say reforger is like dayz without zombies you get the occasional bug but runs good

[tulip steeple]

Compact Ops is really good but I never thought DayZ was that good

[woven swan]

I'm playing Conflict/Insurgency on Fallujah and having serious issues with... idk wtf this is. Either the game has serious desync, trash hit reg or the modded vehicles are glitchy/broken hit boxes/damage models, or the 100mm HEAT shells on the T-55 are like rolling the dice. Any one know why NONE of these clips resulted in me killing anyone? It's like half of them didn't even notice me and were doing acrobatic tricks above me for fun.

[viscid elbow]

Modded vehicles have bad damage models. Also there is issues with hitreg and desync in the game but they become worse once server fps is low

[main juniper]

help me

please

[woeful pond]

It's why I avoid mods

[nimble crow]

Make FIA a 5-10 person playable faction with no objectives other than guard supply depots and sabotage USA and RUS operations!

[icy panther]

I think teamkillers should be put on FIA team instead of kicked; then they can play how they want without disrupting anyone else.

[austere sierra]

That's actually really smart

And make it so they can't TK the AI

[viscid elbow]

everyone wanting to be fia teamkilling lol

[icy panther]

I got the idea from Tarkov; that game doesn't ban cheaters, instead it matches them with each other so cheaters always play against other cheaters

[tranquil halo]

Need some help, on Xbox for some reason my friends filters are stuck showing a certain scenario and will not let him see anything else how do I fix it

Says game master everon at the top

[viscid elbow]

The top bar with the yellow thing is on favourites, go to all.

[tranquil halo]

He did, only shows 1 if our 3 servers

[viscid elbow]

If you want all scenarios just go to the main menu and on the top right tab there is servers/multiplayer and just select that

[tranquil halo]

Thank you ill relay the info

[narrow spade]

anyone want to play on my gamemaster server? i set up a scenario, i just need some players

[ionic swift]

afaik, No advertising here, maybe here https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/107713774428884992 ? not sure

[narrow spade]

ok

[sacred turret]

Is it just me or are there way too few servers popping up on the server browser? Looks very empty

Can't find my own server either

[viscid elbow]

filters?

[sacred turret]

Ooh shit of course

Didn't know they'd be kept on after restart (been a while too)

Also brings me to another question: is it true that the crossplay netcode causes that server FPS to tank? I only see that Everon EU server without crossplay being populated frequently

Or is it just coincidentally just a better performing server? (like it won the CPU-steal lottery)

the latter is what I'd expect myself but idk

[covert iris]

me and my friends have freshly (and continuously) reinstalled the mods needed for my locally hosted dedicated server, but we keep getting error "group=1 'REPLICATION' reason=8 'JIP_ERROR'"
is there any proper fix for this error, or do we just have to settle with playing vanilla?

[lucid obsidian]

what mods? tried nuking the mods on the ded server and getting those fresh?

[covert iris]

yep, I've shift+deleted all mods from my Documents/My Games/ArmaReforger/addons and reinstalled them
it's the whole WCS mod stuffs, tho a bit outdated (in the sense I haven't installed any new mods they may have added for a while), which I can assume is the cause of the issue

[foggy falcon]

can't see any server

[viscid elbow]

Check your filters, check that ur on stable not experiemental

[foggy falcon]

I never change anything.

The day before yesterday I was able to play, but today I can't play.

[austere sierra]

@foggy falcon restart the game?

[foggy falcon]

many time

[austere sierra]

Ah. Idk then

[foggy falcon]

[fleet tusk]

Well generally when servers don't show up, it's because you're not connecting to the server list machine. So either the packet is not coming back, not being sent, or it's not being understood.

Could you maybe have a microsoft firewall issue, or router or ISP issue? However rare that might be.

using vpn worked for some people

[clever wraith]

Theres a vietnam conflict server look up armaconflict

[pliant oasis]

@clever wraith for server advertising you can use #communities_arma3 / #communities_xbox as per channel rules.

[clever wraith]

Looks mostly like A3 stuff there a reforger specific one?

[pliant oasis]

Only those 2.

[clever wraith]

that thing is a mess Melle

That isnt specific to Game modes but more of Milsim

[clever wraith]

Can we get a section specific to game mode advertisement @pliant oasis

since you are going to ding me

[pliant oasis]

That's what you get when not following rules and no there will not be other channels for server/gamemode advertising.

[clever wraith]

so if I say "Wasteland lives again" is that considered advertising?

[pliant oasis]

Once again: want to advertise following our discord #rules use the appropriate channels, this channel is to discuss reforger multiplayer not for people to get publicity for their servers/communities

[clever wraith]

kk got it

thanks for clarification, I shall not advertise

Do i speak to Dwarden to get it featured in the arma mod section of the newsletter?

[pliant oasis]

@clever wraith you are free to advertise in the 2 channels, and you might say the bot is not perfect, but good side is that you only fill it out 1x and can repost every 2 weeks and the bot saves the template so you don't have to fill out all fields again.

Besides those 2 advertising channels you can also setup a event (1x a week per community/server) in #multiplayer_events

[clever wraith]

good to know

[pliant oasis]

If it is a mod on Reforger = #1049297536617291827 is the place to promote it for feedback/post updates and so on (but also not for advertising servers/communities)

[pliant oasis]

And no Dwarden is sysops, publicity on official channels goes by the community managers (Nillers/Leclair)

[clever wraith]

it says i dont have permissions to type there at all

[pliant oasis]

@fossil haven read the channel pinned messages the instructions are in it, you also need a promoter role

[wise needle]

If you go to channels & roles, you can get the permission there @fossil haven

[fossil haven]

THANKS boba

glad you arent on a script like the mods

[wise needle]

No problem. Just trying to help in any way I can

[fossil haven]

@wise needle dude ive had 3 different mods delete my messages and tell me to go to another channel but not once did they refer me to that information. Low and behold thats all i needed to do to fix it, what a joke.

thanks again buddy ❤️

What? a coop? in Reforger?? what is this??? are you a troll? 😉
...i mean yes, i would like to try coop in Reforger, but now is not a good time, but feel free to ping me if you need people for a session any time later.

But be aware - i didn't really play the game yet, so i am the noobest noob you can find.
I had the game for a long time, but it wouldn't run on my old machine, and i only remembered Reforger when i finally upgraded few days ago.
And since then i spent all the time in Workbench (not counting few hours exploring the isnalds in SP).

Bug with the new update where the map cursor doesn’t line up with the map itself. So if I hover over a base it doesn’t show details, but random spots on the map will show random base details, like the map isn’t lining up with the bases correctly

19999 UDP RCON port

-Are there any steam ports requiring port forwarding?

Iraq map

Or rihadylia or something idk, several people including me were not fans of it but it took the Insurgency server from being dead to being 128 players full almost all day so I guess others are enjoying it. They need to work on both the map and the base locations and those are speerate people handling those 💀

You know it takes like 2 heads hots in cod to kill right? This is arma.

no, but anyways if your face is hit ur dead, if your helmet is hit and you dont die then the round bounced. Sometimes you get knocked uncon, sometimes nothing happens.

[clever wraith]

you guys see the wasteland on reforger videos?

[shell tide]

unpopular opinion: purple named bases should not have helipads. last thing you need is people wasting supplies on a base that is required to win. Helipads are best built at MOB where you always generate free supply. Helicopters can fly. There's no reason to build them at the front line. im saying this because i was kicked for building defenses on a purple base because they wanted to build a helipad

[limpid marsh]

i can only agree with you if purple bases are military hospital, chotain or morton,or military levie but if its saint pierre/phillipe or lamenting its mostly ok, they regenerate fast and are far from most fights

[viscid elbow]

If someone kicks u for that report them

[shell quest]

if u have mods installed u have to delete them all then join the server thats what makes mine go away

[ocean cargo]

dont building spam pls, this reduces server fps

[shell tide]

Nothing I mentioned has anything to do with building spamming

[ocean cargo]

" building defenses"

[shell tide]

Yeah bud, a tent, machine gun nest, pillbox, and 6 sandbags isn't building spamming.

[rough iron]

I heard that's not true. Can you prove this?

[frank void]

@rough iron im not sure if you own a 24/7 combat ops #1 server but if you do you need to get your admins on a tight leash they just banned me and a buddy because i spawned a helo to get across the map back to him and use it as an airship to spot enemies. the admin said im going to ban you if you keep flying on the other side of the map even though we were doing our own obj's away from other people

[frank void]

he despawned the helo while i was in it and killed me and my friend both and when i got mad at him and had a few words he just banned us both.

[shell tide]

It used to be that if you spawned too many living quarters (which auto produced AI) the servers would lag. So we had an unwritten rule to not build too many of these. But the devs removed the AI for a while to fix it and now each base is limited to certain amounts of AI and buildings, and the map as a whole has an AI limit

[shell tide]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1216228423907807232/1279765202677661746/Bunker_-_Made_with_Clipchamp.mp4?ex=66d5a1b9&is=66d45039&hm=42b9e854c27c1f5e6ff60b0efcfc324229af50ce400a0a06f205273ea115484c&

now normaly i would attached the antenna tent to the structure as well so people spawn inside the defenses, but other people were building at the base and i have learned that its best to just let them do their thing

[rancid adder]

Can someone pls help me, I want to restart a scenario and dont know how

[rough iron]

No I don't run any combat ops server. I run ChillFam servers. We do have a rule that says you're not allowed to lone wolf, and if they are running my scenario I understand why they would also have a rule like that. If you are far away from the rest of the players on the server doing your own thing, you are spawning in a bunch of other ai that is likely going to tank the servers performance. I never really understood why someone would join a full server to go play by themselves anyways.

[ionic swift]

incompetency or lack of experiance of others,

• when someone even doesnt have a Mic ,
• or not know how to switch between squad,
• lack of proper communication,
• or just being a jerk and do whatever they want that makes you a lone wolf

[nimble hamlet]

Because they are the elite, and everyone else is a n00b. They by themselves, with 2 weapons and all the ammo don't need anyone to go and kill thousands of other players.

[old idol]

Can someone 1v1 me

[ember void]

arma 4 needs to be pc only im going to kill sombody if i have to keep dealing with this stupid xbox players and its going to get worse once the losers on ps get here

[viscid elbow]

you can turn on pc only for your server

[ember void]

offcial severs dont have that option

[ember void]

I feel I just gotta say this I believe violence should remain in video games not irl

I'm murder tf outa people in reforger or a3 not irl

[shell tide]

Congrats

[rough iron]

Ah yeah I could see how friendly ai could affect server performance, that's why I removed them from my servers. That being said, I've never seen buildings alone affect server fps. I've also been told by others that it shouldn't have an effect on server fps, so if anyone's got proof otherwise, I'm all ears!

@ocean cargo do you actually have any proof of buildings causing server fps to drop or did you mean friendly ai causing the drop? If the later, then yes that is for sure true!

[distant crystal]

any groups that play darkgru a lot?

[shell tide]

Turn off crossplay

[viscid elbow]

There is a pc only official server for conflict

[austere sierra]

Dude, stop elitisting your games. We can have good Xbox players and Good PS players, whilst still weeding out the bad ones

[ocean cargo]

ofc a lot of buildings and dead vehicles and props causing fps drop, its fact.

[hard epoch]

they were talking about server fps not client fps

[ocean cargo]

me too

[hard epoch]

why are those things causing server fps drop?

use ur brain

basic logic and how internet connection works

cheers @agile rivet

[random harness]

Currently, playing on official servers is completely pointless.
the server crashes either right after starting or after 60 minutes of running around with supplies, which hurts even more.
server fps is starting to drop down stops on 5/6 server fps and then all you can do is disconnect. vid related:

[night depot]

Sorry wrong server

[crisp jasper]

I saw some post on the Reforger subreddit about "pedophile hackers" going around on public lobbies in fake accounts. Is that shit real or just an overreaction?

[ionic swift]

After 1.2 the frequenty of crashes are very low I have had less than 5 iirc

I have experience low server fps but again maybe less than 5% and its gone away quick

I play almost everyday 4-5 hrs

what bothers me the most is the lag spikes and when Vic changes terrain it goes 2-3 different directions till correct itself the way you were going before

I am sure if they move away from NItrado officials get better

[random harness]

THIS

[random harness]

its not happening all the time, thats fact

Agreed. It used to crash way more often and right after the update it was terrible. It they patched it and since then it’s been pretty good

Probabaly, I only play official vanilla and am on nearly every day lol

[crisp jasper]

I was just being cautious cause I recognized one of the usernames. I didn't really believe it because of "I heard it on reddit", but I still wanted to be cautious about it.

Literally the only evidence the guy had was "I hate him", "he spams platoon chat", and "he did [thing], I have no video, trust me bro"

[delicate shuttle]

Hey am I dumb? Using the bacon loadout to load a saved loadout on a darkgru server locks me in the menu and I have to alt f4

[rough iron]

that mod works fine on my server, no reports of players getting locked up. However I DO get reports while using the vanilla inventory it can lock you up sometimes.

[main copper]

So where do I have to sudmit "ticket" for toxic players teamkilling multiple time, in official conflict servers ?

Normally I wouldn't ask this, but lately I've notice a surge in those tosix behaviors and I don't want those players pushing new ones aways from the game.

[rare zenith]

#announcements there's a recent post on how to report reforger-related activities

[main copper]

Well, thank you.

[sour inlet]

I agree! As a newer player who has had the unfortunate pleasure of consistently being team killed! I agree! Let’s get rid of them! It’s absolutely unnecessarily annoying

[main copper]

Well now it's worst... I joined a new official server and now it's a cheater wall hacking + aim bothing us.... wtf is happening with the game.... never had something like that since I started, more or less, 2 years ago...

[hard epoch]

they even know what hack those cheaters use, but battleye still doesnt ban them

[sour inlet]

Oh crazy! Yeah I only play on 3 official servers. And idk about hacking/cheating. But team killing is consistent! On US side I was just running logistics minding my own. And out of the blue friendly hummer rolls up on me & the dudes open fire blow up me & the truck! WTF? I mean seriously! And then it happens when I spawn some rando kills me. Annoying af so I joined Soviet side. Seems less toxic tho I believe I was team killed two times. But doesn’t seem as much as on US side

I understand that accidents happen. I mean there has at least in my experience been plenty of accidental friendly fire. But everyone recognizes that & moves on. But damn these stupid TKs are annoying. Like a f***£*g parasite or something that plagues the game. When I play US happens like 9 out of 10 times. When I run Soviet happens maybe like 1-2 out of 10.

[woven zenith]

thinking of buying reforger, is it worth it for someone who likes a milsim experience and likes the roleplay?

[sour inlet]

Hell yes imo yes. By no means perfect! But definitely fun

[woven zenith]

is it like a big milsim game, any different then squad or so?

and is it easy to get into or do u need like many mods to get into some good milsims

[fierce mural]

its a game with milsims and mods, it’s relatively easy to get into if you just play official servers (unmodded) but I have the most fun in modded GM servers

[fierce mural]

25gb and under of mods should be fine for 1-2 servers (modded)

[sour crest]

I bought it on a whim and have hundreds of hours into it now. It’s really fun, and most player use their mics so it kind of reminds me of the good old Xbox 360 days when people actually communicated online

[shell tide]

sadly yes. and i say sadly because i hate the amount of people who roleplay on official servers. it annoys me. but i have been playing since it entered preview program and its amazing how far it has come.

[shell tide]

i would disagree with xbox 360. i think its actually a little difficult to get into. the controls are odd (especially if youre on console), map knowledge is king, and theres a lot of running around not knowing what to do if you are new. i recommend getting with someone and having them show you whats what

[viscid elbow]

Just do the tutorial and read the field manual and also go and watch some guide videos by arma platform. Go to a gm first and just play around before u play mp

Yea everytime I load up a vehicle with supplies I cant drive forward. Makes leading a team difficult.

[vivid cloak]

They shift gears correctly what do you mean?

Oh driving assistance.. there's your first problen

No problems with driving assistance off

[sour inlet]

Idk what they mean. But imo kinda glitchy. At least on Xbox it works but at least needs polishing maybe

[sour inlet]

I had driving assistance on & didn’t even realize it! Thought they removed the original gear shifting. Was kinda bummed out. Then my truck wouldn’t move someone said I may have DA on! Turns out I did!

games like cod/battlefield/squad are by deflaut less realistic then arma reforger
one of the big hold backs of this game is the lack of content atm (yes mods are good but they are not at the level detail/usability/realism then the Vanilla)

[runic heron]

I have a question. We are getting an error on our server. It is like access violation illegal write. This error crashes our server at uncertain times and some of the players are kicked out of the game with this error while playing on our server, but they do not experience this on other servers.

How do you join an experimental server on console?

Never mind I see now. For anyone interested it’s a separate game to download. You search Arma Reforger experimental in the Xbox game store and it’ll come up as a separate game. Once you DL it, you have to launch it as a separate game

[somber bolt]

they should make a player queue when joining the server

like in squad

[viscid elbow]

Its in experiemental

[somber bolt]

this is very useful

i am new in the game

we came from squad to check the game. Our community is around 560 people and we were thinking of moving to Arma but I didnt see any good organized community for pro gaming

[viscid elbow]

Usually updates from experiemental get brought to stable about an month later, atleast for previous updates.

[somber bolt]

do you know any public mod server which has clans and experience arma players to play with them?

[neon sigil]

Nothing exists yet.

You’ll have “Not a millsim” people say they are but it’s just military larpers pretending to be good at the game.

Tbh if your community is as big as you say it would probably take off on reforger, but you would need to make it whitelisted for a multitude of reasons.

Currently many more experienced players have become frustrated with the way the game is encouraged to play (Rush at enemy die repeat.) by the default game mode, but if you made a server that required teamwork to join it probably would be much more enjoyable for me and others.

My opinion tho

[robust eagle]

add me

[neon sigil]

?

[prisma sundial]

not new to the arma series, but new to reforger, trying to play liberation and such with a group that can show me the ropes and act more on the realistic side of things if they can

[neon sigil]

There is no liberation game mode, but there is the moded mode overthrow, and the vanilla mode combat ops Everon. They both are very similar with only a few different mechanics, but I would recommend overthrow.

As for realistic acting groups that only really play overthrow I don’t know of any outside of millsims.

[prisma sundial]

milsims hurt to even think about and ya combat ops my b not liberation keep catching that from the description

[glossy olive]

what do i do ?

[viscid elbow]

do the tutorial

[neon sigil]

check logs, and look for any corrupted mods

[kindred girder]

refrogger is unique as a milsim game because it does not require to play in a private group. Because it delivers out of the box teamplay with voip

[viscid elbow]

no teamplay in reforger

[somber bolt]

i came from squad. It is difficult to communicate with my teammates it needs imporovements

[kindred girder]

I think it is easier than in squad, you can flip frequencies whenever you want and you are not boxed into premade squads. You can literally team up with players by talking to them

[somber bolt]

not it is not for us

[kindred girder]

what do you mean`?

[somber bolt]

we really spent half of game just to spawn at main and move somewhere

because when someone died i didnt know that and theyu could not hear me from the radio

[kindred girder]

moving into combat is part of the game.

Also I think it is good that a dead player cant talk. They would give away positions of what happened.

Also it is very dramatic to suddenly notice your friends not talking after enemy fire

I was once talking to a guy next to me as we observed from a treeline, enemy fire came in, I said "hey did you see...." and then I looked at him, he was dead

[viscid elbow]

its harder to communicate in reforger than in squad, between 2 squad mates. stop the waffling

[grim siren]

looking for 2-3 people to play with in some servers HMU

[kindred girder]

thats not the case.

In refrogger communication is realistic, if someone is physically close to you you can talk to them. If they are far away you may have others on the same radio. That is more realistic and more fun than squad's squad exclusive radio channels.

refrogger is a realistic simulator, squad is a bf2 mod made by modders on an engine that is easy to use.

[viscid elbow]

you switched the point, it was about easiness

[kindred girder]

squad threw out gameplay realism to reach abstract top level goal

[kindred girder]

1. I dont see what why it would be easier in squad to communicate. it is harder in squad, because the game is set up for you to only talk with your squad.

2. refrogger has to simulate radios and humans as far as communications go, it should not make abstractions

[viscid elbow]

range is unlimited and its easier to communiocate to squad mates in squad

[agile snow]

That's very much part of the experience. Otherwise the dead guy can tell you there's an enemy fireteam just around the corner.

[neon sigil]

Reforger does not make communication better than squad for 1 simple reason…

Your it encouraged to communicate to play: you can just go off by yourself and ignore your team, while in squad if you do that it’s not fun to play.

And one again COMPARING reforger to squad is not fair, and irrelevant to the issues of reforger
.
Reforger isnt trying to be the new squad, but reforger is significantly worse when it comes to communication in general.

[viscid elbow]

dont tell that to caracal, he wont get it lol

[kindred girder]

radios being limited in range is part of the experience

[viscid elbow]

but it doesnt make it easier

this was about which ones communication is easier and that is squad.

[kindred girder]

I dont see it like that.

In refrogger you have the choice to stick together with others or go alone. In squad you are virtually forced by limiting kit access.

refrogger has teamplay without forcing it. squad only has teamplay because it forces it

[agile snow]

Squad is a competitive shooter. Reforger happens to have a PvP mode.

[neon sigil]

Reforger lacks any sense of teamplay when not in an organized group.

Join a conflict server and see for yourself 😂

[viscid elbow]

it doesnt caracal, it doesnt

[neon sigil]

Squad doesn’t force the player to do anything, however it makes the game less enjoyable if they don’t do what’s intended.

That’s good game design not a fundamental difference…

[somber bolt]

i enjoy more squad

arma has a lot more things but i didnt enjoy it so much

[prisma sundial]

no really? totally didnt do the bare minimum tutorial before looking for other players

[wintry sedge]

arma's most popular game modes are mostly played solo

[prisma sundial]

like?

i couldnt really imagine finding the fun in the gamemodes that are initially introduced alone and not with others

not sure how reforger is compared to 3 when it comes to gamemodes like koth, wasteland, life, etc

[viscid elbow]

Conflict doesnt reward teamplay, so most poeple play it solo

[prisma sundial]

thats fair, i just imagine that it would be fun with a +1/2 that are decent

[viscid elbow]

never been able to have fun in conflict, only when the game started (due to players communicating) and when there were organised games, public ones are just horrible. Imagine a pc game where the point is to have a mic and to play with others and majority dont use mics or have them

[prisma sundial]

thats what ive found so far too communication is shit

[wintry sedge]

battle royal, and dayz are the first thing that comes to mind

any regiments

[kindred girder]

refrogger is better than all of them. And it has teamplay out of the box.

Just walk up to other players and follow them around or ask to follow them, and then you will have an amazing adventure. Which is the opposite of squad where everyone protects their access to kits

No other milsim game has communication as good as in this. Because you can on the fly reconfire your squad and radio message based on what happens.

Meet another player at the side of the road? he will likely join and you match your frequencies, instant communication and teamplay.

[viscid elbow]

Its not

[viscid elbow]

not true at all.

[viscid elbow]

thats not teamplay we are talking about, thats just finding a random person and inviting them.

[high canopy]

Eh it's up to each person's opinion. I haven't put so may hours into a game like this in awhile. I love the solo play in official. Cuz you can just hop on after work and do your own thing.

But I also like that you can just hop into a squad and in my own experience actually do teamwork more often that not.

Like how in squad the coms are very mellow if your not SL. But I also like how chaotic the coms are in reforger at times.

I feel it reminds people that it's a game.

[viscid elbow]

been playing since release and can tell its not upto squads level.

[high canopy]

Same. I wouldn't say that it needs to be at squads level. Different game different company that makes it. From what I see squad tried to go more realalistic in its gun play and most people hated it.

It's nice to see game companies finally trying stuff other than their normal thing. And that can be good and bad.

Tho I also keep in mind that reforger is a tech demo or basicaly early access. So I give it a lot more slack then most games.

[viscid elbow]

yes but misinfo isnt good, especially when its to new people

better to sets standards to low then to high

then you dont get dissapointed.

[kindred girder]

refrogger is a superior game because it allows players to rearrange their teamplay to the situation, just like in a war movie when things get chaotic and soldiers start organizing in chaotic situations. Like when I meet players who flipped over their car and then they hop in and we make a new plan.

And the second thing is that refroggers radios are better than in squad, because they realistically create the situation of radios being radios, instead of treating radios like these specific things that are separated into squad and command radios. The chaos of people talking over each other in the same frequency is realistic and fun.

Also do not call what I say "misinfo" because I don't agree with your view.

[high canopy]

I personally would just say that people should buy it and find out if they like it. That really the only way I feel your going to know if it's worth it.

[torpid tendon]

Ya'll ever played sim city?

[neon sigil]

bro is a expert in Refrogger

[somber bolt]

i agree

[high canopy]

Feels like most of the talk about reforger is negitive cuz it's not arma 3. If I wanted to play arma 3 I would go play arma 3.

Feels like the people who play ark. They have 6k hours but leave horrible reviews and say it's garbage. Makes no sense to me

[wintry sedge]

any teamwork that happens is always underwhelming for what an arma game is supposed to be. it's at most few guys that stick together until one die and split from the group.

the kind of experience and teamwork you are describing sound more like wasteland.

the biggest detriment to teamwork is how many objectives there are. this again makes cofnlict feels more like wasteland

[high canopy]

Ima put this here cuz I think it's funny given the "there's no teamwork In reforger" talk. But I have not once had any team play in arma 3. Any person I came across would just straight up yell at me for not know how to play.

[viscid elbow]

thing is that caracal was refering to squad

not a3

[high canopy]

That's fair. I have had a lot of good SLs in squad. Though it has gone down hill for me.

[viscid elbow]

squad is not the same as it used to be a few years ago, but to reforger its more of that people who gave af quit long time ago. This game had people chattign and actually using the attack thing on j menu but not anymore because the game doesnt have the same content amount as for example a3.

same thing for warno, majority stopped playing at the start and only at the end people started playing when there was content

thing for reforger is that xbox dont have another option

so they will just play reforger. but us pc have a choice

[high canopy]

I never understand why people don't use the "j" attack thing. Like I always do just so I can rank up.

[viscid elbow]

cuz they dont know.

[high canopy]

Shame. It's a necessity for me to get those ai tents down

[viscid elbow]

people complain about getting sgt, but it literally takes a few secs lol

[high canopy]

It's like one maybe two trips for a logi truck.

Like it's odd of I don't make major in a game

[kindred girder]

teamwork in arma3

1. find secret teamspeak
2. download many mods
3. install stuff for teamspeak so mod works

teamwork in refrogger

1. join server

refrogger is probably the most social fps game experience. In no other game I have seen this much use of voip

[high canopy]

Ew TeamSpeak

[viscid elbow]

not every server uses that

[inland mica]

I agree with Caracal, ultimately the game feels like it encourages team work and it does it really well.

From my experience, I run a very small squad of four members, and when we rally on official servers on game night, we just steam roll through. I swear the only time we loose is when we join a late game with the clock already ticking xD

But if I were to drop advice, get a friend to play with

[viscid elbow]

it doesnt encourage team play

enough

[high canopy]

What ruins it as well though are people who use TeamSpeak and discord instead of the in-game chat. It's so much more fun when you ca hear the enemy team

[kindred girder]

That is what I like also, you do not have to use any external programs. I just load into the game, grab a uaz and drive to an armory and say GET IN LOSER

[viscid elbow]

yeah the radio system added for the game is good

[umbral tundra]

alguien sabe por que no puedo hablar
Ya configure mi microfono pero nadie me olle

[terse hound]

How do o fix this?

[fallen mauve]

delete your mods and install again

[plucky river]

anybody wanna hop in a discord and find somehting to do?

[crude drift]

Can 2 people play arma 3 story mode? how?

[pastel bison]

one uses the mouse the other the keyboard. dont think there is a coop mode for campaign, apex has one tho

[worn matrix]

😭

[icy jay]

it's over boys

[worn matrix]

nah those are single player campaigns. get an antistasi server though

[junior anchor]

so reinstalling arma reforger was pointless?

[sudden hill]

Yeah

[hexed linden]

Hey anyone having problems with workshop and game connection in general ?

[jagged ingot]

servers are down

[hexed linden]

any idea when will they be up again ?

[viscid elbow]

yes

[vast drift]

i also deleted all my mods and reinstalled

[sour crest]

Came here to see, glad it’s not just me. Sucks. Every single server is down. Is this a BI issue or is it DDOS attack? IIRC they got his a few months ago

[night gust]

Yeah it’s dumb as fuck

[junior anchor]

Bi issue like always

[mental hornet]

https://tenor.com/view/napoleon-there's-nothing-we-can-do-napoleon-pyritesian-gif-17490332095914688011

[flint seal]

I uninstalled all my mods thinking it was a mod lol

[untold dew]

I did the same 🫠

[junior anchor]

I uninstalled the game and mods and reinstalled lol

[proven wasp]

servers are up

[worn matrix]

Any update on the bi servers?

[sudden hill]

My friend is playing with my on my own private dedicated server, when he controls an AI through game master he keeps getting banned, hes now at a 2 hour ban for nothing and I cant seem to unban him even through the server

Anyone able to help?

[jovial dagger]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[grand grove]

whats the reason i keep getting this?

[marsh cradle]

What’s the situation now?

[raven cove]

can enemies hear proximity chat?

[viscid elbow]

yes

[golden steppe]

im getting it too

[worn matrix]

anyone got any idea whats causing this?

[somber cliff]

is that a normal message or only happening now?

[grim siren]

LF2-3 ppl for reforger

[icy panther]

Nightvision goggles. either turn them on or off or take them off and on again.

[golden steppe]

from time to time it appers.

[raven cove]

sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there any indication when you kill someone on the enemy team in the killfeed?

im new and i feel like im really bad at determining who is friendly and who is enemy

[viscid elbow]

Not in official servers

[raven cove]

got it, thank you

[flint quarry]

You will guaranteed know if you team killed someone because it will say you killed a friendly and decrease your reputation

There is no indicator for killing an enemy on vanilla

[lilac shale]

Pretty much only way you can tell how combat effective you are is in hindsight at the debrief screen. It will give you a little breakdown of your scoreboard statistics once the game ends and you press enter after the victory/defeat overlay pops up

[pale ore]

Try W.C.S

[alpine willow]

What's going down with the servers

[viscid elbow]

!lfg

[distant mauve]

Servers are iffy

[stone pilot]

fix your servers

[ionic swift]

Is workshop down again?

[stone pilot]

yep

idk how devs expect to make any money if they cant keep their servers up for more than a day

[patent iris]

they're working hard to figure it out how to implement a queue

[glacial falcon]

c'mon bohemia

[viscid elbow]

there is a queue in experiemental

[patent iris]

yes, they're trying their best

[stone pilot]

how about work hard to fix your servers so we can play the game

[viscid elbow]

its already in the game

[cosmic grove]

Im guessing servers are down?

[patent iris]

seems like it

[fathom arch]

I think it's Google/Amazon problem, not game devs

there are problems in Arma 3 and DayZ multiplayer as well today

[loud locust]

What does Google have to do with Dayz A3 and AR /gen

[fathom arch]

there is stuff that belongs to Google, Amazon etc that people use

if you didn't know

[loud locust]

Damn

[fathom arch]

and I'm not talking about Google search or Amazon site, but about stuff that belongs to them that the whole world uses/depends on

[loud locust]

Damn google is a genuine pimp

[pale tapir]

amazon web service is their main bread and butter for instance, not so much the web store anymore

[acoustic pagoda]

is there any problem with servers ? .... ?

[fathom arch]

servers are back, apparently

[acoustic pagoda]

cant join ....

[fathom arch]

maybe still not for everyone, yet

[wooden light]

servers arent up for me

[gentle summit]

Hey everyone just letting you guys know a guy named HUGE MUNGUS is a notorious troll

He’s just TKing and voting to kick everyone

[patent pollen]

ive noticed some random fps drops from 60fps to 17fps online. anyone else experience this?

I have a 3080 which should handle this game no problems, been playing for years, just started to happen recently

[tawdry current]

modded?

[patent pollen]

Yes online with multiple mods, it's intermittent though.

[tawdry current]

mods huh.. interesting

couldnt be a coincidence

[viscid elbow]

some mods dont have any lods

[wicked zinc]

Yeah our servers are running at 2FPS and have been pretty much all morning. (modded servers) Trouble shot with the hosting provider and no changes.

[hard epoch]

what hardware are they on?

[wicked zinc]

Youll have to forgive me for being kinda incompetent when it comes to knowing how to find that out, we use GTXGaming for our servers, 2 of them are basic and 1 is upgraded hardware, what they are exactily im not sure. Doesn't tell me when I click on Server Details for some reason
