Change Details

Hi, I've been looking at server specs to know what should I get to get a correct arma Reforger server running. I've been woundering if Bohemia could gather server specs, size and performances like Steam does with user specs. Similar to having benchmarks. So we can have a global knoweldge to what specs we should take to have good performances. Thanks in advances.

# 1. Introduction Hi, I’ve been evaluating hardware options for running an Arma Reforger server, and I’d like to ensure I pick components that deliver reliable performance. --- # 2. Current Challenge Right now, there’s no centralized reference for recommended server specifications, so it can be difficult to know what hardware meets community expectations. --- # 3. Community Hardware Benchmarking Aggregate server performance data (e.g., CPU, RAM, network) from live player servers, similar to how Steam gathers user hardware statistics, then publish these stats to allow server owners to have a better idea of which specs to target. --- # 4. Additional Configuration Options Being able to tweak these settings without the needs of mods. * **Player Graphics Settings**: Specify minimal and maximal graphics configurations for players to optimize performance and prevent resource overload. * **Default Kit & Roles**: Configure default kits and assignable roles to ensure balanced loadouts and smooth gameplay. * **FIA Kits & Spawn Settings**: Customize FIA faction kits and spawning parameters for tailored faction equipment distribution. * **Available & Custom Layers**: Choose from predefined layers or create personalized layers to support varied mission designs. * **Custom Win Conditions**: Enable servers to set unique victory criteria, such as objective captures, timed wins, or point thresholds. * **Arsenal & Cost Configuration**: Adjust arsenal loadouts, equipment and vehicle costs, and cooldown timers to fine-tune resource and economy management. --- # 5. DDoS Protection & Security Options **Disclaimer:** Community-run servers have recently experienced increased DDoS attacks, leading to disrupted gameplay and downtime. The idea would be to increase the compatibility between DDoS protections and Arma Reforger server instances. * **Floating IP & Anti-DDoS Compatibility**: Support for assigning floating IP addresses or integration with third‑party anti‑DDoS services (e.g., Cloudflare) to mask the server’s real address and filter malicious traffic. * **Built‑in Anti‑DDoS Features / Partnerships**: Implement native anti‑DDoS modules or partner with specialized security providers to offer managed protection layers tailored to Arma Reforger server workloads. --- # 6. Thank You Thanks in advance for considering these improvements. I believe they will greatly benefit both server hosts and players by enhancing stability and security.
