Arma Reforger July 20 Update Notes

The update for Bohemia Interactive’s hit military simulation game and gateway to Arma 4, Arma Reforger, is slated to release later today. While we eagerly await the full patch notes, here’s what we know.

Bohemia Interactive announced this update earlier today, mentioning that both Steam and Xbox game versions will be updated. They’ve scheduled a server downtime from 12:00 to 15:00 CET to facilitate this process.

While we’re still waiting for the official patch notes, the community has speculated about potential changes and improvements, such as bug fixes, connectivity, and modding advancements.

Known Issues

All vehicles will disappear after 10 minutes of not using them
Playing in the fullscreen can cut the bottom part of the UI information for the weapons and turrets
Deleting all dead bodies and destroyed vehicles with the GM can lead to the kick of all GMs from the server → Workaround: Delete entities in smaller batches.
Right-clicking when using GM will open an empty radial or it will center the cursor instead of opening the context menu
Some buildings/compositions can be built without a proper obstruction check making these buildings/compositions unusable
After enabling a previously disabled add-on, included missions are not displayed in the “Scenarios” tab until the game is restarted
Characters in the turrets sometimes start drifting away creating a surrealistic portrait of a man with really long arms holding a turret
Deleting objects/fortifications does not reimburse supplies when it was built from a supply truck but deleted from the camp’s freebuilding mode
Players that reconnect to the server are missing rights to use ArmaVision and Building interface. The only way is to disconnect from the server and connect back.
Spawning on the radio in the vehicle into the driver seat will not allow a player to control the vehicle until he changes the seat or leaves the vehicle and re-enters it
Players sometimes cannot join already existing groups on the server after they connect
Players reconnecting to the server are not joining the group where they were and need to rejoin the group
Players can soft-lock themself when joining a server with a mod that they reported. They need to cancel the mod report in the Workshop to be able to join the server
Exploding on own placed mines while in a vehicle counts as Friendly Fire on DS
Most AIs in a group are inert during fight with multiple targets
Tracers have no color in night
Respawning on the radio in the vehicle will not allow player to use gadgets
Radial menu is empty after one GM player disconnects
Screen effects (from blood loss for example) are displayed over UI elements such as chat
Radio frequency defaults to 32 (or 38 for Soviets) no matter the group

Warning:

Server performance can be greatly reduced when replicating a high number of characters (players + AIs), and this issue becomes more prominent with increased limits, making it difficult to handle 128 players and 200+ AIs.
- Playing Everon Conflict with 128 players is not recommended, while Arland might be more feasible due to its smaller size and fewer AI spawns. Pure PvP without AIs could be a potential alternative

📻 Dear Community,

We will be updating the Steam and Xbox versions of #ArmaReforger.
