Arma Reforger 0.9.6 Stable still has not fixed the disconnects.


The Arma Reforger update added some new stuff, but the disconnect issue is still prevalent in 2022. This is not good 5 months after release if they can not even fix simple networking issues. I mean it is 2022, you can quickly turn out good games, even if they are a re-release like Modern Warfare 2. That is not bad. I wish they would re-release Doom from 1993 with updated graphics and detail, but using the 1993 maps. Imagine a release of Doom with updated physics and visuals but with Barons of Hell and Imps with the original Doom Bible story. Getting back to Reforger, it is not good if the game Arma 4 releases and has the same issues as Reforger does with the outdated engine that does not even support underground areas like Unreal Tournament 2004 and Stalker from 2007. The Stalker X-ray engine allows cutting holes in terrain to join a tunnel object. That would be a killer feature. The ability to have a base inside a mountain with bunkers to fire from. But no.

Arma Reforger player numbers are not looking good.

Instead, we get a ridiculous arcade PVP shooter with abominable AI that can not hear you approaching them from behind in a loud truck and will never use a Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher to engage you. Even Arma 3 AI responded to noises and would investigate. CBA mod adds the ability for AI to search an area as they patrol around, which adds a new dimension to the game. Arma Reforger needs more cutting-edge AI. In Far Cry 2 the AI would grab a nearby vehicle and use it to chase the player. And would respond to seeing a dead companion and would transition to an alerted state. And that game was released in 2008. Having AI that would flank enemies and actually communicate everything to each other would be amazing. The networking issues with this game need to be fixed first, as the fact that the game transfers an absurd amount of data to and fro to run a multiplayer game. Maybe this is the cause?

A typical Arma Reforger disconnection screen. What does this even mean?

Find the Arma Reforger console.log and this will contain the kick message. This is in the My Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile\console.log file. But how useful is this info? The REPLICATION message means nothing to me.

What does STALLED mean?

The game still has a bug where the player gets stuck on a black screen and then is able to be shot and killed, but can not fight back. This is terrible. They will possibly fix this in a year or so, but it does not have long to go in the 12-month cycle of the Reforger preview and it is still in a terrible state. The graphics look terrible as well compared to other good games such as COD MW2 2022.

COD MW2 2022 gameplayer. Exemplary graphics quality.
