Bohemia Interactive has released a small technical patch for ARMA Reforger across all platforms on August 28. It primarily addresses backend issues and will be released on consoles too. Experimental Steam builds contain additional tweaks that may be included in future retail releases.
This is a small, technical role designed to address some annoying workshop and server quirks. Workshop addon corruption that forced deletion and redownloads got fixed, and server admins will notice the list cap has been nudged up.
Official changelog
