WCS Chernaurus map is too large for consoles, and it can't run the map.

As of the latest update, there is absolutely nothing changed, freezes and crashes still happen.

I don’t believe so. But they could be related. The freeze happens like that sometimes for 10 to 15 seconds and can resume just like normal for a few seconds after until boom. Xbox dashboard. Never seen it crash this bad until 1.3 and 1.4

I have quite possibly found something that triggers this.
I was playing in WCS server EU1, I was running from FOB Alpha to Airfield and my game froze for few seconds.
I saw a huge portion of trees in Airfield go from fully intact to fully gone, and what happened in-between that change? Game freeze.

Present in 1.4

Is it the same issue as T187251 ?

Hello, as of the latest 1.4 update, my experience in the game has been RIDDLED with crashes and freezes.
I'd even go as far as to say it happens more than it did in 1.3, it's very difficult to play the game like this, I want to play but I cannot play like this.
This is a major issue.
None of the recordings that I tried to make as they happened came through, Xbox clipped none of them.

What server takes up 25gb right off the bat?

So we've reached the point where my favorite mod server takes up 25.7 gigabytes. Due to the reserved space for mods (24 gb) I can't play there anymore because I don't want to download some mods due to space limitations. Please increase it to 80 gb, or let xbox players reserve the required amount of space themselves, it doesn't affect anything!!!

Hello, it is in the queue for our QA to test and investigate the problem.

Also can we get confirmation that this ticket is still being looked into?

Okay, this has to be it, this has to reveal SOMETHING that makes the game crash and freeze. Pay attention to the spinning MI8.
Also can we get confirmation that this ticket is still being looked into? Kinda feels like I'm talking to a brick wall.

I'm on Windows 11, Arma Reforger.

Nice! Quick fix update soon?

100GB reserved space would be too much for consoles, remind you that 100gb is AUTOMATICALLY reserved upon starting your game, that 100gb will be overwritten with mod details, it will make Arma Reforger on XBOX weigh about 120gb, not worth it.
I wouldn't want to see Reforger weigh more than 80gb on consoles because of "mod capacity".

A generous bump of another 24GB I think is enough.

Edit1:
For the people who like reading, allow me to elaborate;
ARMA REFORGER on Xbox Series consoles should be somewhere around 45.6GB, that's the total size.
24.4GB of that total size is Reserved Space which is Reserved Space for mods, remove that and the game itself will be somewhere around 21GB.
21GB for base game, 24.4GB reserved space, now think, how much are you JUSTIFIABLY willing to make the reserve space weigh without making the game take up unnecessary space just because YOU like to jump around every server known to man?

Hello Zen_Monroe.
We cannot seem to reproduce the issue on our end. Do you have more detailed repro steps possibly?

I'm not sure why my fellow commenters think this is a feature request.
Giving the game, a platform, only 25 gig is an issue, given the fact that most servers require a serious amount of storage to even play.
What is the technical reason for the 25gig limit?
100 gig is not the solution, thats a hot fix. Get rid of the limit or set it to some high number. Let users decide on how many mods they want or need.
I don't want to play Arma Reforger in vanilla mode. I want the real sh*t, like blue f***ing tape around my arm!

1.3 is here. The crashing issue is still prevalent on xbox. Do we have an idea of when this will be fixed?

As of THE LATEST UPDATE which rendered consoles crossplay-less for 1 hour, it is safe to say that the game freezes and crashes are still NOT GONE. Game is trying so hard to silence me too as I'm trying to say Bohemia didn't fix this.
Top video is 2nd, bottom video is 1st.

Hello Zen_Monroe
We will require more information in regards to this issue. The best would be a video with where the mortars and AIs are and where the "artillery fire" command is issuesd/placed in the world.

Hello FNGhere.
We have been testing this on our end but we are unable to reproduce the issue.

Ahaa, is that so? Ohhooo I see, interesting, mhm.

Sincere greetings, I hope that in the next update the developers will increase the reserved space from 24 GB to at least 80 GB.
Because currently, one modded server takes up 20–21 GB, and to join another server, we have to delete the mods and then wait a long time for the new ones to download — and we have to repeat this every time we switch servers.
Are there any tips on how to increase the reserved space?
All Arma Reforger players on Xbox Series X would be very grateful. Thank you.
I’m from Ukraine and using a translator — sorry for any mistakes caused by translation.

Hello, does this still occur on 1.3.0.157?

T187251

Uploading 3 videos in chronological order where a crash happens.
Bottom is first, top is last
Forgot to add context; these 3 videos (the first 2 are actually one but Xbox recording is horrible sometimes) show game crashes that happened within 10 minutes of each other, first I crash while overlooking the forest and the road, I restart my game and rejoin and run somewhere else, just to crash again as I was trying to type in chat.

The issue is also present on Xbox Series S.

These mass bootings with error 6 STALLED affect all platforms and are a pain in the a** for players.

Today on April 19th, 9PM, I have frozen 5 times upon joining in a server, then crashed, I had the chance to join back and took it, just to freeze again ONCE and then game crashed again.
Time to wait for next patch.

As of the newest update, my gameplay has been A BIT MORE stable, the game freezes happen less but still happen, whatever y'all did is going the right direction, haven't crashed once, yet, it will happen eventually that I'm sure of.

I'm having the same problem on the XBOX SERIES X. I can hear everyone else around me talking, but no matter what in game settings I change, or Xbox setting I change, it doesn't work and no one can hear me speak. This is not effected by what headset I'm using, as I've already tried switching to an official Xbox wireless headset and that does not fix the issue.

Ohhh you guys are gonna love this, ab so lute ly unplayable.

Try clearing cache too
Should be the one that's 24.4GB

Today with the newest Arma Reforger stable update, I have encountered 4 consecutive game crashes, I managed to save videos, 3 videos spliced into one video, wonderful fix, I HOPE that something in this video reveals something because these game freezes and crashes are getting repetitive and annoying, no matter what server, where I am, what I do, they'll always happen. This update though introduced more crashes than freezes, I get about 3 freezes and then on the 4th I crash. The 6 second clip of my screen being frozen is right before the crash happens.

Neither crane should be destructible by design. We have confirmed that the yellow one is destructible and the issue is scheduled for a fix.

Thanks for the reply but it is pretty much as worthless as "workaround: get a computer". It's not a server issue it's a game issue.

Workaround:
Play on Xbox-only servers

Still present in stable 1.3.0.130 on both quality presets:

Not had this happen on Stable 1.3.0.130 so far

My game froze and crashed this morning, 0646, 5 April 2024, Seattle, WA.time. I am on Xbox One, which has been doing this frequently, at least the freezing up part. I had a good ping, my download speed is 1260Mbps and upload is 669 Mbps, so I know that was not the issue, unless it changed while playing and I didn't notice. I died twice in a game yesterday while driving. It is becoming very annoying as I have enjoyed playing the game. I recently purchased the game within the last few months. As a Dayz fan, I thought I would try this. Please fix it.

Today at 5:10PM, my game managed to freeze 13 times within a minute, there was nothing crazy going on either, my 13th freeze happened when I was face to face with an enemy player.
This. Is. Straight. Up. Unplayable.

Resolved with 1.3.0.130
