Attention soldiers,

Fifth Dev Report is here. You will find out why there was no big update this week and what are our plans in the future.

We are very grateful for your support and feedback!

Attention soldiers,

We'll do another server culling this week to remove unused Official Arma Reforger servers. We'll also get rid of some scenarios as it won't be feasible to support them all with thinner server numbers.

Unnecessary servers will be shut down gradually over a period of 1-3 days and there should be minimal to no impact on your play during this process.

Attention soldier,

The two "Play Dedicated Server“ options will be removed. A new "Server Hosting Docs“ launch option will open this web page with server hosting documentation and examples: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Reforger:Server_Hosting.
