Arma Reforger has had no bug fixes for networking issues even 487 days after release, this is not a good look for a game studio that is aiming to be taken seriously on the world stage. The vehicles constantly glitch around and the rubber banding and lag are amazing, this is not a AAA game by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe in 6 months, it will be fixed but Arma 4 is not promising if it is a low-quality cross-platform console game. That would not be the quality military simulation that we want in 2026 – 2029. Arma 3 has countless mods such as 3CB factions that provide countless units, factions, and vehicles. Plus the EDEN editor and the SQF scripting language allow easy creation of a simple mission with no fuss. Reforger has a mission editor that is very complex and has a lot of features such as terrain editing and placing trees and other vegetation, but this is very hard to use and even placing a few AI groups is very involved. They need to add peaceable modules for the editor to simplify the addition of AI and automatic actions such as defending an area or patrolling around it.
I mean, this is very embarrassing, with the lowest common denominator of console players in an Arma game, this does mean that this will not be fun at all. If the game was built from the ground up as a PC-only title, then it would be much better and probably more solid and reliable. The net code in Arma 3 is much better, this does allow a greater load on a server with 60 players, and very rarely does a server freeze up, this is usually if the server has been left running too long and has not been refreshed with a restart. This is very impressive. And the recent update provided a slew of very useful features such as the ability to select a color scheme for the lighting of a map instead of the default APEX update lighting. As well as the ability to set extended graphics settings. Why does Reforger not get nice updates like this? The net code has not been updated since the release and this is beginning to show its age. If it was repaired it would be able to handle 60-player servers better, but the constant session errors and connection timeouts really put a dampener on things.
