Bohemia Interactive has surprised everyone with the release of the latest Arma Reforger update, which escorts their previous statements of adding crossplay. Xbox players can now team up with their friends on PC, contributing to a better player base overall. Titled 0.9.5.109, this patch also addresses some game, modding, and multiplayer issues.
NOTE: The update is still under deployment, and the server maintenance should be in an hour from the time of this writing.
Another Desync issue has been handled in the Multiplayer segment, otherwise causing a severe game crash. Other crash issues have also been resolved, and the number of them is mind-boggling. Further network optimizations have been performed as well. The modding community will find fewer issues while they work their creative minds.
This patch has recently been included on the PC version as well, and its complete patch notes can be found below:
