reforger_multiplayer

[supple lion]

and i repeat, OPTIONAL

[agile rivet]

Yes it decreases fps when set to max, whats your point?

I have mine at 50

[supple lion]

setting my resolution to 8k also does that.... omg...

i have mine at 150 and want it higher

because disappearing fields and vegetation at 150m is just laughable in this kind of game

even in SP

[agile rivet]

Read again but slowly.

[supple lion]

yes, i gave you an answer to that

[agile rivet]

And why are you arguing then?

[supple lion]

why are you?!

[agile rivet]

You can post feedback tracker asking to remove clamp.

[supple lion]

ok

[agile rivet]

Cause you claim it can work in mp.

[supple lion]

i say i want it optional, i dont care if its mp or sp for starters

and someone here already said to me IT IS POSSIBLE FOR MP SERVER SETTINGS

come on......

[agile rivet]

But true issue is mp. Sp is just scenery. Game needs to equalize between non equal hardware builds.

Not to mention consoles.

Which dont have simple option of just upgrade your gpu.

[supple lion]

im not on console. and id like this option to extend 150m grass draw distance. mp and sp.
nothing else.
i wrote that to a dev.

[marsh sparrow]

okay

[limpid valley]

R5 5600g at arma reforger, in low settings probably it will be good i think, but im earning rn for a RTX 3070.

[marsh sparrow]

can we stop talking about this, i mean this is plain simple thing that we all understand

[limpid valley]

it still playable, right?

[supple lion]

yeah, ill switch this topic to a suitable channel

thanks for the infos guys

[marsh sparrow]

@agile rivet do you have any thoughts about concealing models over a distance? Apart from sinking them a bit.

[agile rivet]

Give it a shot, on steam you have 2 hour refund, if it doesnt work well.

[marsh sparrow]

I've posted some technical 'candidates' but would like to know if someone has better ideas.

[agile rivet]

I honestly hated sinking in a3... just looked janky. But im not that much of a game dev, nor do i play pvp so much that i would consider it an issue.

[marsh sparrow]

yep, sinking is janky

[agile rivet]

Back when i played wasteland in a3 with my buddy who played on typewriter, he had 12 fps on lowest possible setting, he was basically walking "wallhack"

[marsh sparrow]

;]

[agile rivet]

See thru all foliage, sometimes wall and terrain. I guess you could trace line to all extremities of a player and check if line is blocked, if it is, dont render... but thats intensive

[weary helm]

as long as there are video settings, you will always have different settings

you can force some of these server side (like draw distance) but not everything

and that goes for every other game out there

[marsh sparrow]

yep, already discussed

[weary helm]

you cannot control people’s resolution for instace, you can’t even do that on consoles

[marsh sparrow]

so we would need a solution that:

• can be applied for all clients
• is not computional heavy
• works

[weary helm]

solution to leveling the field?

unlikely fot such a solution to be possible, unless you can force each settings for everyone just the same

but people playing on potatos will eventually complain because “lag”

[agile rivet]

He meant with rendering hiding player invisble or less visible

[marsh sparrow]

is not computional heavy

[marsh sparrow]

yep

[weary helm]

these sort of made up solutions, just like a3 sinking characters are not really gonna work

[agile rivet]

Eg how SCUM has it, if player cant see enemy for whatever reason. Players sees clientside prediction and not actual position until he regain sight

[sturdy sage]

Personally I like the server settings to set a max on the client view distance and set a min on the grass distance.
If you are running a scenario that doesn't require aircraft levels of client view distance you can force a cap on that for everyone, so no unfair advantage for those who can push the VD higher.
The same with the min grass distance setting a sensible minimum on server to prevent clients having it at zero for an MP advantage means all players have the same min grass distance.
Outside of those params there are too many variables to account for for each client.

[agile rivet]

But then you run into network view distance ;)

[sturdy sage]

that is a different thing entirely it's to do with entity replication on clients, not directly related to client view distance/grass distance.

[sharp raven]

Min Grass distance should be determined by Server

[agile rivet]

True, but limits how far away player can see enemy.

[sturdy sage]

it is

[agile rivet]

It is.

Damn!

[sturdy sage]

😄

[supple lion]

since you still talk about my favorite topic rn. how far can you set the grass draw distance by server??

[sharp raven]

Oh ok, I think I misunderstood the discussion

[agile rivet]

Tru config.

[supple lion]

i dont understand that answer. how far? in meters

[limpid valley]

👍 , Downloading it.

[sturdy sage]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Hosting#serverMaxViewDistance
There is no limit, but being sensible about these things to keep client performance stable is the important point here.

[agile rivet]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Hosting#serverMinGrassDistance

Thats more weed related.

[supple lion]

alright. and is there a way to make it possible more than 150 meters? sp and mp.

[agile rivet]

Just keep in mind 2 h starts when you start the game ;)

[agile rivet]

Unless bi removes clamps no

[supple lion]

what are clamps? you mean it is a locked setting? coded into the game unchangeable?

[agile rivet]

Min max values hardcoded

[supple lion]

thank you

[agile rivet]

So it doesnt matter of i set it to 30000 it will go up to 150 max

[supple lion]

yes, thats a shame.
i wonder why it is mention that there "is no limit" to it then. and i dont think 300m draw distance would be unsensible compared to 150m btw.... at the very least for singleplayer settings.

[agile rivet]

No so unsensible, are increases expinentially not linearly. I hope u understand that

[supple lion]

alright, you think so. im fine with that. and if it is as you say and my performance is damaged by this optional setting then i would still be able reduce it to 200m or less. or i just reduce other graphics settings and resolution instead.
if it is possible to "unclamp" this "not limited" feature then id be happy if i was given the ability to try it out myself....eg, id like the option of max 150m grass draw distance to be expanded.

again, thank you.
i hope the devs will think about it. as i will think about their decissions too.

[smoky ivy]

yes i have proton battleye

[kindred girder]

can you currently host mp games off your own pc?

[agile rivet]

Yes, you can, but its not straightforward. The "listen" server or self hosted server like in Arma3 doesnt exist. So you need to run separate server application. Plus it requires some more advanced routing that your router may not support.

So in short, doable. But i would not advise it.

[kindred girder]

That seems weird. Why is mp so limited?

[agile rivet]

Because WIP

[pliant tiger]

no update, sadge

[twilit iron]

looking for players to join up as a crew

[wooden monolith]

#communities_arma3 #looking_for_unit or on Xbox #communities_xbox

[pliant tiger]

is multiplayer dcing any better now?

[smoky ivy]

not for me. just tried and was disconnected like other days

i'm linux user with proton so maybe not the best example

[pliant tiger]

lol

[pliant tiger]

I can say that today I played on 48 and 64 player servers with only one DC, which is crazy. Previously max was 32 players and DC sometimes

maybe this update did fix some stuff, need to play on more servers and see

[prisma sundial]

I can't see the servers list anymore 😄

[supple lion]

bing ji ling 👀👆

[fallow blade]

squad player here

want to get into reforger

pc player btw

[agile rivet]

Not, just yet. Wait a bit more 1-2months

[empty pawn]

any chance of arma 3 style capture the flag mode? too few players to make the current conflict mode interesting

[sharp raven]

Definitely wait

[sharp raven]

Project Operations is up if anyone is looking for US Conflict

[proper field]

A friend of mine has the problem that he cant join modded server because his game just crashes, does someone has a clue

[coarse seal]

C:\Users****\Documents\My Games\Client\profile and send me the console.log

[proper field]

https://pastebin.com/L1ZmC9Dx

[coarse seal]

BattlEye Client: Initialization failed, couldn't update cached BattlEye library.

His BattleEye is not starting, he might have another BattleEye title running at the same time, basically restarting the PC should work.

[proper field]

sadly did not help

[proper field]

tryed reinstalling battleeye and did not work

[echo dragon]

"couldn't update cached BattlEye library."
That shouldn't exist anymore, maybe it wasn't merged into stable

Go to this folder
C:\Users\XXX\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile\battleye
and see if BEClient_x64.dll is in there

[echo dragon]

if not, then go into steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\battleye and take that BEClient_x64.dll and copy it into the first battleye folder

[proper field]

Did that did not help sadly

[modest bronze]

Based on the log you posted, you're running an old version of the game. It also looks like you have multiple runs in single log file. You should definitely check for updates and verify the data to see if everything is fine.
I would also try deleting those log files and seeing whether running game creates them anew.

[proper field]

The game is on the newest version, I'm running it of of steam

Gonna test the log file thing

[modest bronze]

What version do you see in main menu?

[foggy pumice]

Servers down for everybody?

[wooden ridge]

is there any info on the random disconnects from MP servers?

[hazy gust]

are servers down for everyone else now?

[trail vector]

may as well be, there's like two servers with more than 10 players on

[modest bronze]

I actually just remembered that for some people there is a problem determining/setting up/writing into profile directory. It would explain why yours had old log files in it, since new logs could not be written there. Also, when game was caching BattlEye library, the cache was located inside profile folder and updates of it would fail (same as shown in your old log).

[unborn python]

Does the game typically have a better pop? I just bought it

[silver dagger]

there are ~450+ players on each platform playing online in daily peek

[wintry sedge]

Usually there are two, maybe three full servers on PC during peak hours.

[lean arrow]

still dc problem? @wintry sedge

[wintry sedge]

Yes. Less than before but dc is still a problem and a pain in the ass

[hard epoch]

the vehicle lag since latest patch is known problem right?

[agile rivet]

Ye.

[proper field]

do you know how to fix

[modest bronze]

Sadly, no. Need some technical person who is experiencing the problem to help investigate it.

[proper field]

so i have a update, the game does now generate a new log, and i think the Battleye error is gone, here is my new log(game still crashes) https://pastebin.com/TqgTxPvi

[coarse seal]

Connection process did not finish correctly.
Will have to look it up but this seems like the culprit.

[proper field]

maybe this is helpfull as well sometimes when he starts his game it says that opening ArmaReforger_BE.exe was blocked from opening

[modest bronze]

From the log, it looks like server disconnected the client while it was loading the map. It may be because of BattlEye, but we'd have to see server log to know that for sure (I think it's community hosted server, so we'd have to ask whoever is hosting it for logs). Game then probably tried to go back to main menu, so it disabled mods that were required by the server, but crashed while doing so.

I would try server without mods.

[proper field]

they work 😄

[modest bronze]

One of the mods could also be causing the problem.

[proper field]

cant really be at 4/5 other pc the mod combo and the server worls

works

[modest bronze]

I've seen stranger things happen. In any case, let me sum this up:

• this machine has issues with logs and profile folder access
• BattlEye is complaining about its own executable
• things that don't crash on other machines (based on what you said) crash on this one

I am getting a bit suspicious about some hardware problem on that machine. I can try and have a look at it after weekend, but there is way too much stuff malfunctioning there that is pretty crucial.

[proper field]

Log and profile seems okay for me because it downloads new mods where is should and also after i deleted old logs it creates new fresh ones

[modest bronze]

Ok, old ones were weird, but if they are working now, I guess that part can be scratched.

[flat meteor]

Hi is there going to be any work done to allow us to access a list of scenarios on our servers so we do not have to load a different *.json each time?

[reef fractal]

UHHH

servers dead?

the backend is down again

[proper field]

i have some new infos, disabling battleye on my server helped that he can join it, he can join servers without mods without a problem but is there battleye and mods in the game it crashes

[hard epoch]

modded servers are currently hell

[fierce lava]

How so?

[gray sail]

Servers still dead?

Don't see anyone anywhere on any server.

[hard epoch]

automatic mod update when joining still fails, crashes (though they are on vanilla too)

[fierce lava]

No wonder my game crashes when I play as russia

[tired siren]

Servers down? Played yesterday fine, now nothing

[fierce lava]

Wydm? Servers are up

[tired siren]

Something on my end, tried different game and that didn't work either... never had this issue before, strange how was perfectly fine yesterday and nothings changed

[fierce lava]

Have you tried restarting reforger?

[tired siren]

Restarted everything including router, now trying other things

[fierce lava]

Try restarting your internet.

If it doesnt work try restarting your computer.

[tired siren]

@fierce lava im on xbox. Got it working by port forwarding, but it's still strange how I've never had issues before until today

[wooden ridge]

WHATS GONNA BE UP ON THE NEXT UPDATE?

oops caps

[remote cedar]

anti scream setting for both chat and VON 😆

[wooden ridge]

anti-squeaker

[fierce lava]

Prob ai driving

[wooden ridge]

server crash fix would be nicer

[wooden ridge]

some helis would be good

[fierce lava]

Well we need tanks but we kinda already have one.

[sleek lark]

Has crashs / server kicks been fixed yet?

[hard epoch]

no

[austere knoll]

hi is this game stable online now, able to join games without troubles etc?

[wintry sedge]

Not yet

[normal pewter]

It's a lot better though than at launch

[tired siren]

Now I'm unable to find servers again.....

[prisma sundial]

Italian Game player ?

[wooden ridge]

game was better before the last update

[wooden ridge]

i disagree, my experience has been worse... disconnects all the time

[clever iris]

oh thats terrible! since the last patch i managed to get several hours in and no disconnects. horrible rubber banding issues with being a passenger in a vehicle but waay better than it was before for me

[clever iris]

I will note however that as soon as i change the filter it gets stuck searching. and have to relaunch the game

[sleek lark]

Yeah seems to be better for me

[tiny summit]

I was just about to ask if anyone has this problem. Same goes for if I change a filter twice

I still get disconnects too... and I also sometimes end up getting trapped in vehicles. Tried to get out of a supply truck, couldn't, went to Respawn. That didn't work. Tried to quit to main menu. That froze up. Task Manager even had a hard time closing the game.

[dreamy pewter]

no servers found, backend down?

[noble bloom]

I tried connecting to some servers and I got a no connection error before even getting in the server, when I tried to connect to the same server with a VPN, it worked and I got in (however later still timed out)

[serene hornet]

no servers found, wtf??? 3 day..

[dreamy pewter]

starting POWERBITS

[serene hornet]

What is it?

[dreamy pewter]

a server

[noble bloom]

powerbits is a server that I cannot even connect to at all,
but if I run a VPN, I get in

Maybe someone else can try this as well?
I never had the issue of not being able to connect to servers in any other games

[peak moth]

hi I have error when I try to play mods in multiplayer,Does enybody have the same problem?

[hard epoch]

what kind of error

but yes, probably

[midnight bear]

top server has 6 players on weekend evening fucking LOL

[left terrace]

how game dead

[dreamy pewter]

i doubt that, ours was full all day on 64

[iron ridge]

everything is fine 🔥 🏠 🐶 🔥

[full sapphire]

Maybe on regular conflict. Game master and the smaller conflicts usually have people

[dreamy pewter]

conflict works, be it with a dc now and then.. my server is full at 64 every day

[near crystal]

Is there a zombie mode? I downloaded some game type but i cant seem to find it.

[hexed igloo]

Ayee its updating for me!

[dreamy pewter]

notes?

[ornate heart]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/june-update-29

[dreamy pewter]

found it tx

[hard epoch]

modded servers still wont be joinable when a mod update is required?

[prisma sundial]

anyone wanna play

[hard epoch]

yes

[hazy gust]

its a little concerning seeing the lack of populated servers right now. Usually at least PO is usually full..

[main anvil]

well the servers crash after fucking an hour of playing we had to close our servers down we only left one up EU/US #1 game master server

[mystic olive]

anyone wanna play?

[vital moat]

It may have been addressed, But how do you change you in game name?

[wintry sedge]

Can't. You have to change your Steam name.

[unborn sand]

Hello
can you help me whit an issue?

Hello
can you help me whit an issue?
Well, I have a USB Mic, but ingame i only can talk 1 time, i mean i just press "T" once and then i cant keep talking

i need disconect mi mic and reconnect again to press T once and same problem... I already set the default dispositive in windows config and steam config but I still have the same problem... any idea? hotfix? fix? pacth?

really need help 😦

[prisma sundial]

oh crap dude that sucks

theres only 1 fix for it unfortunatly thats why i switched off of a usb mic (logitech G Pro) but basically the mic lost its coding through the usb and you unfortunatly need a new one now

i wish there was a fix for it man but thats really sucks man like the red ring of death on xbox 360

[gloomy anvil]

excsue me it lost his coding ? xD that is not even possible

[hard epoch]

dont worry about it bro, its lost its coding

[hard epoch]

my workshop and server browser aint loading

is this a backend thing or is it a me thing

now it works nvm

[normal shell]

Is it the officail servers that craskh a lot, or dedi servers ?

[hard epoch]

it's more or less the same

[atomic shell]

Hello, I believe I was sent in this direction. I am looking for people to play Arma with. I have a few people that I play with as of right now. But I would like to play a little more often. Is this the area that I could find help?

Unit communities

[urban pilot]

#looking_for_game #looking_for_unit is what you are looking for @atomic shell

[atomic shell]

I believe so. Yes.

I just checked those out. I do believe that is correct. But just to make sure, I am looking for people to play with and people who can teach me how to play arma a little better.

[lunar karma]

what's going on with MP?

[fallen flicker]

Still cant Join any modded Servers ...
still getting this at crash Report
Reason: Access violation. Illegal read by 0x7ffde839a9c0 at 0x10

[hard epoch]

yep, bug's been known for a while

[prisma sundial]

Playing arma 3 has a tutorial and in reforger has a tutorial and it teaches you as well

[atomic shell]

I was hoping to have a few people show me one on one or something along those lines.

[prisma sundial]

well i hope that you have the chance too. to me alone its pretty simple stuff. navigation stuff isn't easy at first but you learn a lot along the way. I'm pretty sure there are videos out there that can help you

[atomic shell]

I am completely thankful that you had reached out to me. It is much appreciated. Thank you very much!

[prisma sundial]

You're welcome

[brave zinc]

Has Reforger's netcode gotten better? I haven't really played since the first two weeks when people would get dropped every hour or so.

[remote cedar]

It has been improved, but there are still some technical issues to be resolved before it's fully stable.
There are too many different variables which can cause issues, and BI is solving them one by one (without breaking too much other stuff).

[elfin summit]

So would it be worth buying?

[remote cedar]

It depends on your expectations. If you expect a full sequel to Arma 3, you shouldn't buy it.
If want to see what BI is doing with the series and what to expect with Arma 4, try it out.
If you want to play with the new Enfusion engine, go for it!

If you just want a fun game, I'd suggest to wait a month or two, till most pressing issues have been solved and more missions and mids have been released.

But that's my opinion

[rapid shadow]

anyone want to play reforger with me

[ionic forum]

Wait a couple of months

[hardy trout]

Have to agree. Until the issues get ironed out, 100% wait. Once they get ironed out the population will grow and the game will be healthier. For now it's a tough sell.

[tacit chasm]

im waiting since... a long time. yet no improvements.

[midnight bear]

there were cool modded servers for like one week before game died and now its just the terrible vanilla conflict servers LOL

if youre going to host a server, why make it vanilla conflict? modes bad

[vale plover]

This is exactly my point, peoples expectations are so damn high from modern mil sim games, going back to a clunky Cold War ear sim is hard for some, don’t get me wrong the game has issues, but we knew that from the start.

[lament laurel]

Great, why don't you host one? PM me the name so I can check the pop in a week

[midnight bear]

Too late. Player base is 9 people. Seethe bro

[tame sundial]

Strange, I never fail to find a match and have an amazing time in conflict.

[remote cedar]

#multiplayer_events perhaps? because this is not the right channel for this

[quick dove]

My beezy bro @remote cedar

[rapid shadow]
