Known Issues

• Xbox storage space for addons is limited to 10 GB, blocking some players from downloading all the mods they’d like to have.
• Downloading of add-ons might fail if a player downloads mods in the background whilst doing other actions.
  • A workaround is to patiently wait in the downloading screen after initiating the mod download until it finishes.
  • If your addons get corrupted, and you’re getting “Failed to start with the following mods” even after restarting the game, delete your addons from your device.
    • To do that on PC, navigate to the game profile folder (%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Arma Reforger) and delete the addon folder.
    • To do so 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.
• Some addons can get deleted after deleting and redownloading an addon without restarting the game.
• Servers fail to update addons during initiation. It is necessary to delete the addon and do a fresh install of the newer version.
• Flickering deploy screen in Tutorial scenario. Workaround is to just press space to deploy
• Vehicle engine does not always starting when holding W. Try going backwards (S), holding R or looking at the start engine widget and holding F.
• If two players get into the same seat at the same time, one of the players might be unable to control his character properly.
• Eliminate target task might not spawn in Combat Ops.
• Dead AI character might be rarely considered alive, blocking completion of Clear Area Combat Ops task.
