1.2 u[date changed the soundscape completely. Before that I don't remember having this issues. Now it's quite common bug when sound stays "behind" you. It happens 3 out of 10 times after using Transport request.

Good idea and I wish we had old system on PC back - 2x Caps makes radio open.

Good idea.

"You seem to be confident in how casual players will act after just saying we cannot see how they would react to these changes." - I assume that you've played long enough to see how less experienced players react to new or changed mechanics.
"spawning on a point that is being captured is a gamey mechanic that feels bad for both teams (staring at command/radio relay tents waiting to blast players as they respawn and vice versa is not good gameplay" - so don't do it, because it is indeed shitty behaviour. Imagine that you've spent some time resupplying and building a nice base, and your team loses it, because nobody goes to defend it. And if this base is Andre's Beacon, it seems unimportant until you control Entre-Deux. I am certain that you know what I mean.
"It seems like you want to argue for the sake of argument" - projections FTW!
Anyway, we have different point of view, that's why I've made this ticket and I will be trying to convince people that it's not a good idea, because I have enough experience to predict its consequences.

@sashabyson
Casual players will not travel to attacked base. Now you can always ask people to spawn on such base. After introduction of the new mechanics, you will have to transport them there EVERY time. Spawned AIs is not enough to defend the base, we all know that. Thus capturing bases will be much easier and rounds will be unbearably short.

@sashabyson
I don't know how you draw that conclusion: "trying to predict how you are going to win every game?" It's not first nor last time people here are using personal arguments.
People are not using basing mechanics at all. They are transforming the game into mindless FPS shooter. Introducing this new mechanics will make that problem even bigger. 1.3 is in Experimental only, so casual players (huge majority) cannot test it, so you cannot see how they behave. Join any Vanilla community crossplay server. You'll understand what I mean.
Why not wait? Because there were already couple of mechanics that were introduced and then removed. This one presents as such.

@sashabyson
Achievements are quite interesting indicator of players' engagement in the game.
Trucker Joe - 5000 supplies delivered per round in Confilct (no matter if official or community) only 0,4%
Major promotion - 1,3%
So only 30% of people ranking to Major delivered 5000 supplies.
Another interesting one is percentage of people who destroyed 25 vehicle in total - 0,9.
Why all of sudden people would start using new, fairy demanding mechanics that requires a lot of additional actions only to risk being killed? Especially that they can just go to the NEAREST base where enemy is? Or put MHQ around Montignac.
Just answer that question as if you had 50 or 100 hours in the game. Not 1, 2 or 3 thousands.

So you put it here so every troll can use it?
For such things use private bug report.

I am afraid that you will be dearly disappointed by this. We look at the game through eyes of experienced players. People will still count on someone to go and defend the base. It's the same as with supplies. Everybody needs them, but only few bring them, yet on platoon channel there's constant "We need supplies at..." "Let somebody resupply ..."
I will repeat, for the last 10 days Reforger had influx of 50000 new players. If vanilla conflict will be too hard for them, they will force-casualise the game. In 128-player server, there will be very small group of players actually defending bases. Rest will fight at Montignac and rounds will last 30-40 minutes.
I wish I was wrong, but reality speaks for itself.

@Technicolourmatador
Even know, when defending base is so easy, very few people spawn on attacked bases.
90% of players don't like driving, don't care about driving, don't know how to do it. So they don't drive to attacked bases.
99,99% of players love flying and can't do it.
So if you sum this up, for most player it will change the game into 30-minute long fight with AI and then loosing/wining without even experiencing any highlight of Conflict.
Why? Because a team of 2-4 people with Willys can drive around every enemy base and capture one by one. Not to mention heli.
In the first week over 50000 copies of PS version were sold. It marks a huge change for Reforger and Arma franchise. We're just stepping out of dark burrow of very niche game into the wast world of casual players.
Such mechanics as this new one may be too hardcore for them. They will still be playing the game, but they will be purposefully omitting it's core features. Exactly as it happens now with supplies, spawning AIs, making self-defensive layouts of bases, using radio spawns, proper communication etc.
I can manage with any new mechanics, you can also and many other more experienced players. But I'm worried that such changes may slowly kill the idea of Conflict.

Yes, it should be.

I could not reproduce it. Tried two times in GM. I have only the correct ones.

@LouMontana
Some mild profanities would be acceptable, but all his posts were unreadable.
I don't have problem with cursing, but it's definitely not the place for that. Despite I did it here couple of times, but it was nothing compared to this individual.

@LouMontana
Could you please remove all posts with this guy's profanities as well?

Go to game Settings/Gameplay and find this:

OK. I am trying to help you. I already helped some people with this problem. They had additional addons folder somewhere on their hard drives. In this folder they had partially downloaded mods which caused problems.
So if you're certain, that you removed it all - OK. but remember that reinstalling the game (unless you somehow made a clear install with clearing registry and EVERY file) does not solve this.

Yep, it happens sometimes. Not always, it's random, but it happens.

So now check default installation folder for mods:
C:\Users\[your user name]\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons
Sometimes after changing default directory, then changing it back to default, Reforger stores some mods in that default location.
Your problem is clearly with some modded content. It happens after the updates, because mods are not updated yet.

Make a screenshot of your mod manager. It should look like this:

In the log file you've attached there are 48 mods loading with the game.
Delete mods from "addons" directory on your hard-drive, wherever you have them and probably the problem will go away.

Yes it is like that in A3.
I also don't like many changes BI is making in every update. Some of those changes are for the changes' sake only - look at 1.3 on Experimental.

OK. I though that after the update you have a problem with switching optics in general.
And yes, now it's not possible to change it when not aiming.
It makes sense, it's more realistic. IRL you need to aim to choose between looking through irons sights or optics.

Try LALT+NUM7 or LCTRL+NUM7. Just to be sure it's not assigned anywhere else. And assign it temporarily to any mouse key, so you will be sure that keys are pressed simultaneously.
For me it works like that:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA4rggDCQcE

@Ponezun
Paste a screenshot of your key bindings here, please.

OK. Look at the screenshot below. I assigned my "Switch weapon optics" to M5 (mouse button number 5). And I am sure that it's the only key bindings for this button. It is possible that the same combination of keys you are using at the moment for "Switch weapon optics" is used by some other action. So assign some unique combination like LALT+LCTRL+LSHIFT+9 to "Switch weapon optics" and see if it works. If it does, it means you had the same keys binded with different actions. If id doesn't work, problem may be elsewhere.

So there is the same key/key combination assigned to two different actions. Check it all.

And it's still not fixed in 12th December update.

Check the key bindings, there are some changes, so maybe that's the cause. For me it works exactly as previously.

@KingCurls
I am trying to help you.
Try solving your hardware mess first and then complain.
If rolling back to a legit, official, older display driver made things worse for you, you should ask some adult for help with your computer.

This problem absolutely can be fixed by making the increment/decrement changes happen inside a transaction.

@BigAsTTees
Even if it will be impossible to place supplies on the ground, you could still duplicate them, simply by using vehicles as a point of transfer.
Supplies can be duplicated only when game lags.
I understand that it's almost impossible to fix lagging in online gaming. So BI could just by-pass the problem by introducing cool down time while supplies are being transferred.

This "feature" spoils the game completely. If one player who sneaks into the base can deplete 7000-8000 supplies to zero in 15-20 seconds, the whole supply system doesn't make sense.
Nowadays more "players" know about this, let call a spade a spade, glitch, it breaks tactics of Conflict completely. That glitch causes that it doesn't matter how big and well supplied the base is, because any base can be now devoid of supplies faster that anyone can spawn there.
If it's as designed, design is wrong.
Change it on Official servers, please.

NULL_CLASS_PTR_READ_c0000005_nvwgf2umx.dll
It's the cause of your crashes. Generally it's a part of graphic driver. Lately there was a new update of Nvidia drivers (you have RTX 4070 Super) The last known driver that runs without any problems is
Try rolling back to 555.85 version of drivers using this official Nvidia page:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/224750/

Could you try to delete mods from your add-ons directory?

Start the game, go to Mod Manager and disable all mods. Try joining any official server. If the game won't crash, one of mods may be the problem.

Try recording a video and attach log files from the session when it happened.

Vote-kick system should not be anonymous. And there should be a simple menu of choice to chose a reason for voting. Menu could contain reasons like: TK, trolling, verbal abuse/obscenities. If someone would make a false accusation and vote-kicked player could prove it by providing a video/picture evidence, then false accuser could be punished/banned.

@Technicolourmatador
👍

Yep, it happen almost every time when two players are trying to get to the same vehicle seat simultaneously.

@Geez
It's not resolved - it's temporary by-pass of a serious problem. Please fix it on your end.

Looks like rolling back to older Nvidia driver - 555.85 fixes "GPU hangs" error.

It's been 5 months. Proxy chat is still broken as it was. Is Bohemia even planning to fix it?

Yes, that glitch happens every time player exits the vehicle from driver's side.
If player changes seat to passenger side and then exits, engine stays off.

@IGOR_F
Try this. Most of the times it works.
Shut down Reforger and Steam.
Go to the directory where Steam stores game files and find "Battleye" folder (for example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\battleye). There's "Uninstall_BattlEye.bat" file. Run it and DO NOT do anything else.
Now just start Reforger. Battleye will be installed automatically when the game is being loaded.

@Yamachinu
I am checking Experimental and so far it look like supply glitch is fixed. We'll see how effective the fix is when it comes to Vanilla and more people.
Many of those problems, including:

• choppers, cars and trucks surviving multiple rocket hits,
• players invulnerable to bullets,
• duplicating supplies

are caused by desync and lag.
Until those two issues are fixed, there will be no real fix, but only by-basses.

11 months!!!
Bohemia WTF?

I need to ask again, have you used that "Uninstall_BattlEye.bat"?
On BE official FAQ it says:
"Client not responding
This can happen if the server’s or your connection times out for quite a while or breaks up completely. A common solution is to update your modem/router’s firmware. Also, make sure that you aren’t running “Cucusoft Net Guard” which is incompatible with BE. Other than that, please ensure that there are no problems with your internet connection (you might want to contact your ISP)."

OK. Stress-test your GPU using Furmark and some temperature monitoring program (for example GPU-Z).
If it won't crash when under load, one of the mods may be a problem.

Does the same thing happen with vanilla/unmodded game?

Try turning off Windows 10 core isolation.
It's a safety feature, but if you're not using your PC as an important network terminal for even more important global company or some three-letter agency, it won't do any harm.
If you're using your PC as an important network terminal for even more important global company or some three-letter agency and you install online games there, your supervisor should be tried, convicted and shot on site immediately :)

Bohemia, WTF? You haven't even reviewed this bug. It literally make the game unplayable. And it happens randomly to everyone.

This bug is present in vanilla since a year or so!
When will you finally fix it?!?

It is already added in Experimental.

Exit Steam completely.
Go to [your drive letter]:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger\battleye and run "Uninstall_BattlEye.bat" It will uninstall BattlEye. Then just run the gama via Steam and BE will install itself properly.

@Yamachinu
All true, but rank-dependent loadouts will require a complete revamp of ranking system. ATM you rank up faster when capturing empty bases (on servers with no AIs) or killing AIs than when building and resupplying.
Building stuff and doing supply runs should make ranking up 3x faster than capturing or killing.

@falcon91

You guys need to quit adding stuff and fix the current issues. Players really should just start invoicing you guys at an hourly rate for the testing we do.

It's a desync. It happens all the time both with UH-60s and Mi8s.
It's the same problem as with vehicle occupants surviving heavy fire from M60 with AP rounds.
This kind of problems were reported around June 2023 when server authoritative vehicles were introduced: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/server-authoritative-vehicles
Since then this problem just exists and probably won't be solved until BIS fixes their net protocol.

Have you tried running Reforger Experimental?

OK.

"Before" like in when Reforger worked normally or in some other time?
Just in case, I'd stress-tested GPU now, to be sure.
If you have the opportunity to test some other GPU, it would also be wise to do. Just to eliminate hardware/driver problems.

Try verifying game files in Steam.
And run some GPU stress tests (FurMark or anything similar) along with GPU-Z temperature sensors monitoring.

Was there any AMD GPUs driver update recently?

It is a huge problem now. And probably this glitch may be used to crash the game. Please take a look at this log file.

It does not happen with 0 ping (Game Master, server hosted locally). There must be some latency between client and a server. Please, try it on any of the official servers as a regular player.

Okay i will try to do that but i have a question before i do so, there have been limits set in bios by the company that built the PC for it to run smooth and without overheating like it did before because the CPU is unlocked by default trying to push max power even tho the cooling system cant handle this much power, wont it remove those settings from bios ? can i proceed to bios update without worrying about anything ?

@Coe
What I can see from crash.log your problem may be related to that Intel CPUs issue. Update you BIOS to the newest available.
If you've never done it, follow the MB manufacturer's instructions or ask someone with experience to do it.
You could also try joining: https://discord.com/invite/qUfWhpz and finding me there - my name is Grzegorz. I don't want to spam here anymore.

@Coe
Click this to upload all log files here:

It may be Intel 14th gen CPU problem. Google it.
It may be Core isolation's Memory integrity feature: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/how-to-enable-core-isolations-memory-integrity-feature-on-windows-11
It may be memory problem, test it using: https://www.memtest86.com/
Before doing anything update you BIOS and all other drivers, turn off any overclocking and tweaking software.

There should be an option" Disable 3rd person view automatically when there are enemies nearby". Both with infantry and vehicles.

@nookly
I don't know. My RAM is pristine, no errors.
Yesterday I've verified game files in Steam and today I have zero timeouts. I also uninstalled and reinstalled BattlEye. It may be a coincidence. I have no tools to verify this.
