Network Issues

Getting kicked 30 seconds after joining a server

Not being able to join a server at all

Not being able to see anyone and then getting kicked after a short while

Known issue, fix is TBA - turning off BattlEye server-side can help

Getting kicked with "Missing GameID/MasterPort server config settings"

See Server Hosting - BattlEye: the server's BEServer_x64.cfg BattlEye config file is invalid - the server administrator must fix this, nothing can be done client-side.

Server Desync issue where players get "detached" from their in-server bodies - becoming harmful ghosts

Entering a vehicle fixes the issue

Workshop

Mods downloading might fail if a player downloads mods in the background whilst doing other actions

• Wait in the downloading screen after initiating the mod download until it finishes
• If mods get corrupted and the "Failed to start with the following mods" message happens even after restarting the game, delete mods from the device:
  • On PC, navigate to the game profile folder (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Arma Reforger) and delete the mod folder
  • On Xbox, hover over Arma Reforger in Xbox Home and press the View button, go to "Manage game and addons", and delete your Saved data
