Arma Xbox Update

Arma Reforger surprise launched on Xbox Series X|S earlier this month, and we've mostly enjoyed what we've played so far. This stepping stone towards Arma 4 is a platform for the developer to build on, and that work has already begun.

Patch 0.9.5.51 is currently being deployed on Xbox, and here all the changes it brings to Arma Reforger:

  • Tweaked: Proper handling of a download error for a bug where there were no files to download
  • Changed: Raised the maximum connection limit in RplNet to 256 in order to match server config limits
  • Fixed: Added missing view geometry to several models

  • Tweaked: Horizontal aim limits on M1025 turret to match aimspace values

The update brings with it a little server downtime, roughly three hours if everything goes to plan. Once those three hours are up, Arma Reforger is expected to be live, with the above changes applied.
