I've played SQUAD, HLL, etc...but never went for the full milsim experience offered by ARMA games. I just bought Reforger and I have no idea what I'm doing. Let's gooo lol
@@ylsgaming will do...I've been playing on the Nam '67 server, it's a blast. Seems pretty relaxed, it's mostly just people impersonating Vietnamese accents with very little coordination but it's a good stepping stone lol
@@voiddistortion7937 haha that’s awesome. We like to keep it pretty relaxed too. Our motto is realistic without being gruelling. So we implement some realistic settings as long as it doesn’t make the server gruelling.
I’m also new to the game and I’m just strolling around waiting to get shot not knowing what to do lol Lone Ranger u can’t even save your last location tho which sucks since u keep on spawning back from were u first started it again
Haven’t played Arma 3 in years. Steam showed me “Reforged” I RUclips’d it on a whim and your video was the first one I clicked. I’m 6 minutes in and went and bought the game. Thank you so much for doing this, I’ll watch the entire thing but I can already tell this is going to be so fun. I miss arma so much but the community online became kind of difficult to deal with. Sometimes I just want to play alone or not with gate-keeping vets of the game online. Thanks for making this bro
Bro this is dope. I was one of those people who tried arma, had fun but no community other than people wanting me to join their regiment and discord just to text all day and not really run missions or branch out into everything else the game has to offer. But COD is killing me and so is the space so I deleted it and arma has always kept me coming back so. Thanks, sub earned.
Join our discord man. We have Arma servers running 24/7. We’re just getting into Reforger but it’s constantly growing and it’s in a community that thrives on helping eachother. Hope to game with you soon
I have played 3 games so far on the YLS server now. The players are great, very helpful and always willing to lend a hand and help you learn the ropes. Big shout out to all who reached out. You guys are awesome! I have not played Reforger, but have been playing on Antistasi. Great people, great game, and thanks for all you do. I always look forward to your videos.
Gave up on arma 3 but just bought this now, and going to give it a chance. Don't need a COD level of controls but hope they are more modernised in reforger. Thanks for vid, earned a sub. See you all online as Phatfraggle
@@soulsynthesiscreations thanks for the sub my friend! The controls are definitely more user friendly. I like how they made the vehicles with a bit of fidelity so instead of keyboard controls, you can look at the corresponding areas in the vehicle and use a general action button to flip switches or turn keys
thank you sir, i have been searching for a video on exactly this topic. Video quality is great and super informative, youre definitely one of my favourite ytbers at this point. cant wait for the next vid!
Just a heads up, if you apply a noise gate in OBS or whatever capture software you're using, you can silence out those keyboard clicks for the most part, along with the noise floor of the mic. Renegate is a good free one and really easy to setup with the visual ui of the gate / audio. I know mechanical keyboards are a nightmare for this but a gate will cut out a lot of the clicks. Another edit, I'm commenting right before you say things I need to stop haha. The best keyboard I found going from mechanical to soft touch was roccat horde aimo. Also took the matching mouse too, it has what they call membranical keys, it's kind of a cross between mechanical and membrane, and honestly it's probably the best keyboard I've owned for many reasons
I use noise gate for the background noise and it works really great. I haven’t tried it with the keyboard yet. Problem was that I was always talking while clicking so I couldn’t capture a profile to apply the gate. Next time I’ll type first before I start the video so I can use that section to acquire the noise gate profile
I have never played this game, but I will eventually get it. I've played the series from Flashpoint to Arma 3 and have a combined total of a little under 9k hours (not including DayZ and DayZ SA), most of which is in multiplayer realistic military servers. I say this because I found that in my experience if you ask people when playing multiplayer, most will help you even in pub servers (provided they aren't in the middle of something of coarse). One of the best things with Arma isn't the game, it is the players and the community. By that I mean everyone from server admins to mod'ers will help new players/admins/mod'ers. The hardest thing with any simulation game is the mechanics and especially the key-binds, both of these things are hard to learn by yourself, because you don't know what you don't know and a lot of key binds aren't even set up for example. Obviously talking about the older games, but things like placing a personal 3D marker on the map to find where you are or fire modes on weapons platforms is a big one, or changing ADS views on the same scope etc. That is why players tend to help new players, because we've all been there. They love the franchise and want it to continue, without new players games die very quickly. So it is a win/win situation for experienced players as they get to play with more people and the game doesn't die. For me the best tips I can give; 1. talk to people in game (communication is key) 2. listen and clarify if needed, better to do that than not know what to do in a contact 3. Set up and learn the key binds and what they do. Other than that and in my opinion, it is one of the easiest to get into simulation game franchises on the market, that happens to also be extremely deep. There's a lot to learn but Arma has a lot to give, but most important of all; have fun o7
I've been playing these since Operation Flashpoint. I work with Infogrames when it came out and got a free copy. (I think Infogrames owned Codemasters who published it). I've played each one since. Even got an early import of Armed Assault (non english copy) it took a while to get to the other countries. I've been holding off on this one for some reason, but watching this, I'll think I'll get it! Thanks man, great video.
I’m glad I helped you decide! If you like the arma games, check out our discord community in the description. We are starting to branch out to new games as well
Arma 3 had such a good community, I took a massive break from the game for years but once I hopped back on most folks helped me out any way they could. Probably why it has the most hours of any Steam game I own.
Thank you so much. I just got the Xbox version. I’ve been playing dayz for a while and expected to kinda know what to do in arma and I was so wrong. It took me about 2 hours to get a kill than instantly die and it’s exhilarating. I’m very confused and this is such a fun way to learn mechanics or just goof off on. Great video
@@xSmoothIce thank you for the compliments! I love games like Arma because there are so many possibilities in terms of gameplay experience. I love the unpredictability and the fact that games like Arma make you value your life so you don’t just run and gun
@@xSmoothIce I’m glad you see it the way it’s meant to be seen. It’s unreal how many people I have talked into games like this for them to try the game and tell me it’s garbage because they try to play it like call of duty. Finding people that find value in games like this makes me happy.
I just got my friend into reforger and I came across this video, I was unaware of how detailed/immersive mods were on this game. Thank you for making an awesome video and now I am definitely looking forward to playing this mod in coop
Overthrow is also a mod for ArmA 3 and that's what this is based on. Antistasi is a similar idea but completely different game mechanics. These 2 are my favorite way to play ArmA. Overthrow Reforger is coming along nicely. Nice video
Your keyboard isn't the problem. It's the audio setup. I have a very clicky keyboard that doesn't come across my streams/recordings because of my .vst plugins and settings. Look up some Videos on getting VSTs and setting them up. Thanks for the vid. I'm gonna be getting Reforger soon. Long time fan and player of the Arma Franchise. If you want I can point you in the direction of a really great video that I used to get initial settings, then you can tweak from there. I've given it to several people and it helped them.
@ylsgaming, I'm only about 9 minutes into the video right now but don't get rid of your mechanical keyboard. You just need to get some tactile or linear switches and it will be way quieter. I personally like the tactile switches. They feel really similar to the "clicky" switches you're using now but without the noise. If your current keyboard doesn't support changing switches maybe you will need to get a new one but I'd highly recommend sticking with a mech keyboard.
Great video I have this game for Xbox series X and didn’t understand it and after watching this video I have a good understanding of the game modes didn’t know it had this kind of mode
Thank you so much man, I just got into the Arma franchise and it is very confusing. I do sim racing so kind of expected a learning curve but love videos like these that make it shorter and help us out . 👍 from me
There are a few multilayer servers that help out newcomers. Operation Tactical Barbie was my first server, and got me up to speed with the game, great staff, great community. And most are willing to help newcomers
Just use linear switches for your keyboard or silent tactile. Gateron milky pro yellow or akko cream blue v3 are good imo (you need a custom keyboard for that). Just don't go back to a rubberdome keyboard... Plenty of silent mechanical options available
That's awesome! If you like it and want to play it with other people, we have a dedicated server running our own save file of this game mode 24/7. Just join our discord with the link in the description to get in on it
I think everyone is used to the clicky clacky. Atleast I am anyway and didn't notice it until you mentioned it. Thanks for the Vid, I now own Arma Reforger!
I bought the pack that came with Arma 3, Reforger, and 2 or 3 other Arma games. I will be honest and say I gave up on it for a while being a controller person vs using the keyboard learning curve frustration. I found that Reforger is controller compatible so just started to delve back in. It's very frustrating as a new player not knowing what you are doing for sure. I've played a little bit in the solo mode just to get a little more familiar. I'm finding frustration with the AI being much stronger so far. I hear shots and see tracer rounds coming from a direction, but when I aim in that direction I seem to never see the ones shooting. I would definitely appreciate being part of a community that would be alright with a noob looking to improve. Thank you for this content as well that has shown me some things.
Reforger is just a test bed for the game engine and Arma 4 components, it as BI has said it was never meant to be a main game, that is Arma 3 & 4's job. And once Arma 4 is up and available BI will simply shut down the Reforger server and support ect, as everyone will be playing Arma 4.
as someone who has played hundreds of hours of CTI gamemodes in arma 3 i was kinda sad when i first went to play reforger without realizing someone brought overthrow to reforger too! thank you for opening my eyes!
I’ve heard people on Xbox can play it no problem but are unable to save at this time. The developers are working on fixing that so Xbox players can save
I do a noise gate for the ambient sound of the fan on my wood stove. I haven’t been able to isolate my keys with that yet because I’m always talking while the keys are clicking so haven’t been able to create a noise profile. But maybe before I start talking I should click a bunch of keys to allow me to try and get the profile
Yes, this is what I feel now. I try to play, but I dont know where to start. I just bought the game on ps 5. I don't understand where am I on the map it's wery confusing.
Huge Arma 2/3 fan here, with easily over 8,000 hours combined with the two. I can't wait until Arma Reforger/4 has the ability to run full Antistasi, Overthrow, and KP Liberation. Then, I may make the full switch and finally stop playing Arma 3. Thanks for keeping up with this new version and giving it attention.
I’ve got to be honest, I’m a bigger fan of Arma 3 as well. If you’d like to play with us, we host a 24/7 dedicated server playing antistasi. Join in with the discord link in the description
I just got this after lurking for 2 years... big ARMA 3 player... anyway I've got an old 1080 video card and get a solid 50+ FPS on all setting at MAX HIGH. But, here's what else I have... an i9 processor, 128GB RAM and an SSD drive. I wonder if the game is more RAM and Processor heavy than it is video GPU.
You’re probably right but I do know the gpu plays a roll. Before I got a new processor I had just went from a 1060 to a 3070ti and it doubled my frames
@@ylsgaming My buddy has a 3060 and he gets pretty decent FPS but only has an i& processor and 64GB of RAM. There's definitely a balance there, but I'm not playing anyone online so the FPS for me right now is decent and I can't justify the price of a new GPU. Maybe next year. ;)
For me only the gun shops are working, no other shops show and any i go into and access the till/open the shop only sell 1 item. A pistol. Thats it.Kinda bugged.
have a question - how do you restart this mod from 0. I have no guns and no car - assassination mission was bugged with invisible enemies and the car despawned by the time i ran back to the house. got shot again by invisible enemies. Deleted the mod and redownloaded it - gets me back to the same point. So if anybody know how to restart it from beginning?
It’s somewhere in your documents. I did it once but I can’t remember where it is. It took me a while to find it. But once I did I just deleted the save file and it restarted for me
When I get my gaming PC this year, this is definitely the kind of game that I want to stream on here. Thanks for the video and I hope I can retain some of this when I get the game!
@@ylsgamingSometime this year, along with a PS5 finally, God willing lol. I even have a buddy who said he would build it for free for me, because he's really into computers and has been gaming longer than I have I think
I have the same problem no store or truck shop and the gun shop only shows after I use the restart button in the esc menu. And a second problem is my car always get despawned when I leave it behind and need some time to do what I do, as example capture a base.
The keyboard is fine people record with mechanical all the time. The problem could be your mic placement and gain maybe some compression and noisegate too.
Hey man. I’m sure that other people have suggested it, but check out the mechanical keyboard hobby. You can actually get silent tactile switches that feel as good as that does, probably even better. Full RGB and all the features you would love in a keyboard. Also it’s a lot cheaper than you would think to just pick the kit, switches and keycaps and build it yourself too! If you need help suggestions or guidance, feel free to ask! Great video by the way, this inspired me to pick up Reforger 😊
I appreciate the suggestion! I’m also very glad this video has given you inspiration. However I did end up picking up a cheap full rgb membrane keyboard for the sake of videos. I’ll have to put the mechanical keyboard in the racing sim when I start using it again because it feels so dang nice to type on
@@RealEyesRealizeReelLies it usually goes on sale once a month or so. My discord server usually keeps an eye on it and announces when it happens. Feel free to join the discord and get to know the crew
You didn't mention that a lot of MODs have Dependencies. Like this one had 3, the biggest being OldCars Civilian Clothing @ 1gb+. Also, MOD downloads are sooooo.......... slow.
This game has all the new graphic qualities of gaming today with the complexity and gameplay style like classic arma. You're going to want to check out arma reforger
@@ylsgaming When you say Classic do you mean Operation Flashpoint -Cold War Crisis or the dragon rising? please say cold war, never have I played a game like that it was one of a kind.
@@ylsgaming No, it disappears if I don't keep checking on it. I've done this numerous times. Not even on a hill. Have you played it with no shops showing up? I can't get supplies. 😩
@@jaydenmafa5159 some Mods yes but some it may conflict with. For testing purposes, try disabling all your other mods temporarily and see if it works. If it does then start introducing a mod or two at a time until you can figure out what is conflicting with it
i just bought this game thanks to this video. However, my map doesn't seem to have any shop icons on it, and I tried going to the same building the shop was in your playthrough and it was empty. Any idea what might be wrong? edit: nevermind, when I restarted the game again it appeared. Strange that it didn't the first time I did.
idk if you're still active here but would you happen to know if this mod works? I have it installed but every time I go to play the overthrow scenario I get an error message and it doesn't load
I tried to mod it's really fun but I want to restart from the beginning every time press the restart button it just restart from where I was how to do that I want to start from the beginning I want to choose another faction invading
why the arma games all this low fps, ok the engine arma 3 old so 15 fps ok but now reforger also got this low fps omg what gonna be for arma 4 then where is hope Q.Q btw is there like a cheat menu or like ace arsenal like that?
Not sure what you have for a PC setup, but if you have a capable Nvidia GPU you should use Nvidia Broadcast and enable the mic filter on it. Will not pick up any noise thats not human speech depending on how strong you crank the feature. Would be an easy fix instead of replacing the keyboard you like so we don't hear the clickity clack.
a niche game but i havent experienced anything bad with the community when i played squad many people were nice to me as i was new (i did play on a beginner friendly server) and also on arma 3 i played the king of the hill gamemode and there were people helping me out with knowing stuff, now i havent played reforger yet but i will be trying it out
I just find a lot of gamers these days have toxic traits and can make it really hard for new players to get a grip on a more complicated game. That’s why I always help whoever I can whenever I can because I know how frustrating it can be to ask a serious question and just get jokes for answers
mod needs alot of work still. shops dont spawn where they are supposed to be sometimes, and the restart option doesnt work at all so if you die and lose the gun you start with you are sorta fucked. it feels very dead as well. needs more ai civilians roaming around towns or in their homes. it has potential. hope the creator keeps working on it. until then i dont see the point in playing it
I got really lucky because game after game when I very first started I had a good squad. I only have about 36 hours but I can lead convoys. Still much to learn
It can be tough to get on your feet in the arma franchise. Honestly Arma 3 is a much better game and we offer help to beginners on the discord server. Feel free to come check it out
This video started off so strong then delivered very little. If you're new and struggling to understand reforger, do the tutorials. I did and it helped me understand movement, getting gear from gear stations, driving, supplies, medic system and more.
Don’t get any new keyboard, my dude! Just trying to get some noise suppression going. I ended up buying a microphone recently from a company called Beacn. And instead of a noise gate where it blocks off noise at a certain level, there’s an expander which gradually dissipates the noise when it’s below your threshold
I've played SQUAD, HLL, etc...but never went for the full milsim experience offered by ARMA games. I just bought Reforger and I have no idea what I'm doing. Let's gooo lol

Thank you so much man, I just got into the Arma franchise and it is very confusing. I do sim racing so kind of expected a learning curve but love videos like these that make it shorter and help us out . 👍 from me
@@Ka-chow42 glad it helped you out! I’m into racing sims too, seems all the best gaming experiences these days require you to jump through some hoops
There are a few multilayer servers that help out newcomers. Operation Tactical Barbie was my first server, and got me up to speed with the game, great staff, great community. And most are willing to help newcomers
Thanks for this video, i got reforger today. Totally new to arma but played dayz before. So much to learn in this game, definitely enjoying this mod.
Glad you’re enjoying it. Were running it 24/7 on it discord server now. Check it out
Also for the keyboard--you can get silent MX mechanical key switches. Feel about the same just without the click. I have cherry MX silent reds.
Interesting, I will look into it
Just use linear switches for your keyboard or silent tactile. Gateron milky pro yellow or akko cream blue v3 are good imo (you need a custom keyboard for that). Just don't go back to a rubberdome keyboard... Plenty of silent mechanical options available
Noted!
wow this gamemode looks real fun! gonna download arma reforger again just to try it out myself 😅
That's awesome! If you like it and want to play it with other people, we have a dedicated server running our own save file of this game mode 24/7. Just join our discord with the link in the description to get in on it
I think everyone is used to the clicky clacky. Atleast I am anyway and didn't notice it until you mentioned it. Thanks for the Vid, I now own Arma Reforger!
I bought the pack that came with Arma 3, Reforger, and 2 or 3 other Arma games. I will be honest and say I gave up on it for a while being a controller person vs using the keyboard learning curve frustration. I found that Reforger is controller compatible so just started to delve back in. It's very frustrating as a new player not knowing what you are doing for sure. I've played a little bit in the solo mode just to get a little more familiar. I'm finding frustration with the AI being much stronger so far. I hear shots and see tracer rounds coming from a direction, but when I aim in that direction I seem to never see the ones shooting. I would definitely appreciate being part of a community that would be alright with a noob looking to improve. Thank you for this content as well that has shown me some things.
I can’t get past the screen where you select the nation it just stays as the background imagine on xbox
Hmmm it could be broken on Xbox to start your own game. Try joining a server running overthrow
It's doing the same for me and honestly I'm bummed
Had this on my radar for a while. No doubt AI driving/ commanding is going to make this scenario one of the best 😊 thanks for the overview! 🍻
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Definitely worth a try
Reforger is just a test bed for the game engine and Arma 4 components, it as BI has said it was never meant to be a main game, that is Arma 3 & 4's job. And once Arma 4 is up and available BI will simply shut down the Reforger server and support ect, as everyone will be playing Arma 4.
as someone who has played hundreds of hours of CTI gamemodes in arma 3 i was kinda sad when i first went to play reforger without realizing someone brought overthrow to reforger too! thank you for opening my eyes!
U like playing this? It’s so boring
Could you play with a squad of friends on this if you wanted to? Am new to the game and I haven’t had the chance to try yet?
Absolutely
I’m having trouble getting it to start up on Xbox
I’ve heard people on Xbox can play it no problem but are unable to save at this time. The developers are working on fixing that so Xbox players can save
Awesome thank you for your time with the game ect… I needed this I was gonna give the game up before the tools shown in the videos 🎉
Hello, I can’t seem to accept your discord link, am I doing something wrong or is the link expired? Thanks
@@Lucki1109 try this one discord.ylsgaming.net
Is there any fix for the Xbox version? Every time I try to start a game it just shows the background and doesn’t do anything else
Find a solution yet? Ive got the same problem
Before you buy a new keyboard, you could try setting up a noise gate on your mic and see if that helps with the keyboard noise.
I do a noise gate for the ambient sound of the fan on my wood stove. I haven’t been able to isolate my keys with that yet because I’m always talking while the keys are clicking so haven’t been able to create a noise profile. But maybe before I start talking I should click a bunch of keys to allow me to try and get the profile
Nvidia broadcast does the trick 👍🏻
In arma 3 i had 80% of my overall gameplay time in editor, it's fun making missions,scenarios and playing them...
Same here thats what You should.
Was that a 50 cal shooting at a huey during the intro? Lol
Thank you for posting. I an new to ARMA and ARMA Reforger. Very helpful.
Keep watching, lots more videos to come
Awesome. I did join the discord. Very nice and helpful folks there.
Yes, this is what I feel now. I try to play, but I dont know where to start. I just bought the game on ps 5. I don't understand where am I on the map it's wery confusing.
bro, you should read field manual
15:09 “hello sir, would you like some of the finest sticky icky”
I love it bro. Keep doing your thing lol. Can’t get enough of it
Hahahah I appreciate it man. Come game with me on my discord. discord.ylsgaming.net
Huge Arma 2/3 fan here, with easily over 8,000 hours combined with the two. I can't wait until Arma Reforger/4 has the ability to run full Antistasi, Overthrow, and KP Liberation. Then, I may make the full switch and finally stop playing Arma 3. Thanks for keeping up with this new version and giving it attention.
I’ve got to be honest, I’m a bigger fan of Arma 3 as well. If you’d like to play with us, we host a 24/7 dedicated server playing antistasi. Join in with the discord link in the description
Ah nice, thanks. The normal map orientation is gonna take some time to master!
I just found my love for this franchise. im trying to learn as much as i can
Join my discord. Were all about helping each other learn
Great videos. Me and my buddies are pretty pumped to play this weekend
Did you guys join our discord server?
Hey, how did you get the pistol and/or where do you steal weapons? I can't find that bit in the video
Makes me feel way more easy about trying this game. Xbox user.
I just got this after lurking for 2 years... big ARMA 3 player... anyway I've got an old 1080 video card and get a solid 50+ FPS on all setting at MAX HIGH. But, here's what else I have... an i9 processor, 128GB RAM and an SSD drive.
I wonder if the game is more RAM and Processor heavy than it is video GPU.
You’re probably right but I do know the gpu plays a roll. Before I got a new processor I had just went from a 1060 to a 3070ti and it doubled my frames
@@ylsgaming My buddy has a 3060 and he gets pretty decent FPS but only has an i& processor and 64GB of RAM. There's definitely a balance there, but I'm not playing anyone online so the FPS for me right now is decent and I can't justify the price of a new GPU. Maybe next year. ;)
Mhgaming , the server is underrated tbh
I'm sure I am the odd one out, but I like the key noise. love me some blue switches.
It’s music to my ears but my wife hates it lol
For me only the gun shops are working, no other shops show and any i go into and access the till/open the shop only sell 1 item. A pistol. Thats it.Kinda bugged.
have a question - how do you restart this mod from 0. I have no guns and no car - assassination mission was bugged with invisible enemies and the car despawned by the time i ran back to the house. got shot again by invisible enemies. Deleted the mod and redownloaded it - gets me back to the same point. So if anybody know how to restart it from beginning?
It’s somewhere in your documents. I did it once but I can’t remember where it is. It took me a while to find it. But once I did I just deleted the save file and it restarted for me
When I get my gaming PC this year, this is definitely the kind of game that I want to stream on here. Thanks for the video and I hope I can retain some of this when I get the game!
i remember being excited to play dayz mod on my first rig
Heck yeah! When are you planing to get your gaming rig ?
My first build I was excited to play battlefield 2. It was sometime around 2010
@@ylsgamingSometime this year, along with a PS5 finally, God willing lol. I even have a buddy who said he would build it for free for me, because he's really into computers and has been gaming longer than I have I think
I can’t even get past the house. I’ve unlocked the vehicle, but can’t get into it. Very frustrated with this game.
How do you start with a clean save? like you spawning in a shitty place and like to restart the game to start somewhere else
You have to find your save file somewhere in my documents I believe and delete it
My car in the garage doesn't let me get in the driver or front passenger door even after I unlock it.
It's not only a few MB because you still need to download the dependencies for the mod to work, and in total it's over 1GB.
As always, great videos!!
My map doesn’t have all the symbols on it…gun store etc…😢
Restart, someone else has that issue
I have the same problem no store or truck shop and the gun shop only shows after I use the restart button in the esc menu.
And a second problem is my car always get despawned when I leave it behind and need some time to do what I do, as example capture a base.
The keyboard is fine people record with mechanical all the time. The problem could be your mic placement and gain maybe some compression and noisegate too.
I since corrected the issue but thank you very much for the info!
Keep up the good work mav, videos brought me back to arma and yls antistasi and love the players on there, -wet mop
Thanks wet mop! I hope you’ll be around for the weekend server tonight
Hey man. I’m sure that other people have suggested it, but check out the mechanical keyboard hobby. You can actually get silent tactile switches that feel as good as that does, probably even better. Full RGB and all the features you would love in a keyboard. Also it’s a lot cheaper than you would think to just pick the kit, switches and keycaps and build it yourself too! If you need help suggestions or guidance, feel free to ask! Great video by the way, this inspired me to pick up Reforger 😊
I appreciate the suggestion! I’m also very glad this video has given you inspiration. However I did end up picking up a cheap full rgb membrane keyboard for the sake of videos. I’ll have to put the mechanical keyboard in the racing sim when I start using it again because it feels so dang nice to type on
DId you ever start an Overthrow server?
We did but we put a hold on it. Were focused more on our antistasi server for arma 3
@@ylsgaming I can totally understand that. Been waiting for all of the ArmA 3 DLC to go
on sale as a package deal
@@RealEyesRealizeReelLies it usually goes on sale once a month or so. My discord server usually keeps an eye on it and announces when it happens. Feel free to join the discord and get to know the crew
For the noise, i can highly recommend the steelseries software, its AI noice cancellation is really good.
Thanks I’ll have to look into that!
You didn't mention that a lot of MODs have Dependencies. Like this one had 3, the biggest being OldCars Civilian Clothing @ 1gb+. Also, MOD downloads are sooooo.......... slow.
Thankfully the game has a mod manager built in. This would be a headache if you had to download and install each mod individually like old times
@@ylsgaming And even if you have it installed without dependancies, it tells you. Why oh why can't DayZ do this.
@@ArchibaldCharles oh my god right?? Every game that supports mod needs to do this. It takes out so much leg work
Wow i remember playing the 1st ever Arma game, how did i miss this?
This game has all the new graphic qualities of gaming today with the complexity and gameplay style like classic arma. You're going to want to check out arma reforger
@@ylsgaming This is now in my steam list of games to get
@@ylsgaming When you say Classic do you mean Operation Flashpoint -Cold War Crisis or the dragon rising? please say cold war, never have I played a game like that it was one of a kind.
I never see shops when I'm playing. I wonder why. My jeep disappears too. If I keep it running, it will stay put?
It could roll downhill
@@ylsgaming No, it disappears if I don't keep checking on it. I've done this numerous times. Not even on a hill. Have you played it with no shops showing up? I can't get supplies. 😩
I have not experienced this yet@@shakanzeowgu494
@@ylsgaming Found a mod for the disappearing vehicle problem. Now to see if anybody is experiencing the Shop problem, solo player.
There was a bug that prevented shops from showing up. Last update fixed some of the issues.
Is it possible to play this with other mods? I’ve been sitting in the same screen after choosing U.S. army and pressing play for a few minutes now
@@jaydenmafa5159 some
Mods yes but some it may conflict with. For testing purposes, try disabling all your other mods temporarily and see if it works. If it does then start introducing a mod or two at a time until you can figure out what is conflicting with it
i just bought this game thanks to this video. However, my map doesn't seem to have any shop icons on it, and I tried going to the same building the shop was in your playthrough and it was empty. Any idea what might be wrong?
edit: nevermind, when I restarted the game again it appeared. Strange that it didn't the first time I did.
Sometimes with arma you’ve just got to roll with the glitches
idk if you're still active here but would you happen to know if this mod works? I have it installed but every time I go to play the overthrow scenario I get an error message and it doesn't load
@@Spaceboy149 as far as I know it works but it’s been a long time since I’ve played it. You could try reinstalling the mod
I tried to mod it's really fun but I want to restart from the beginning every time press the restart button it just restart from where I was how to do that I want to start from the beginning I want to choose another faction invading
There is a way to delete the save file but it’s hidden somewhere in your documents I think. I think it’s in a folder somewhere called “my games”
why the arma games all this low fps, ok the engine arma 3 old so 15 fps ok but now reforger also got this low fps omg what gonna be for arma 4 then where is hope Q.Q btw is there like a cheat menu or like ace arsenal like that?
@@pepega5560 it was hardware issues I had. I can get 60fps easy now
Not sure what you have for a PC setup, but if you have a capable Nvidia GPU you should use Nvidia Broadcast and enable the mic filter on it. Will not pick up any noise thats not human speech depending on how strong you crank the feature. Would be an easy fix instead of replacing the keyboard you like so we don't hear the clickity clack.
Too late, I’ve got a membrane keyboard now haha
a niche game but i havent experienced anything bad with the community when i played squad many people were nice to me as i was new (i did play on a beginner friendly server) and also on arma 3 i played the king of the hill gamemode and there were people helping me out with knowing stuff, now i havent played reforger yet but i will be trying it out
I just find a lot of gamers these days have toxic traits and can make it really hard for new players to get a grip on a more complicated game. That’s why I always help whoever I can whenever I can because I know how frustrating it can be to ask a serious question and just get jokes for answers
Died not long after starting to find my car completely gone even if i reload the scenario so now i just gotta run everywhere or get the bus.
mod needs alot of work still. shops dont spawn where they are supposed to be sometimes, and the restart option doesnt work at all so if you die and lose the gun you start with you are sorta fucked. it feels very dead as well. needs more ai civilians roaming around towns or in their homes. it has potential. hope the creator keeps working on it. until then i dont see the point in playing it
@@DonnieBoiTV I’m hoping they bring anyistasi to Reforger
@@ylsgaming would be really cool if they did. they would probably have to rebuild the mod from the ground up though
@@DonnieBoiTV yeah it would be
Great video, makes me want to actually play Reforger again
It’s release version 1.0. It does still need lots of love but the game is definitely more stable than ever
I can't get it to load into the house on the Xbox. I really wanted to play this mod as well
Dang I hope they fix it soon for console
@ylsgaming I found out you can't save as well. I will have to buy a PC to play this mod
@@rossrad1 bout time you got a pc anyway ;) far superior over console
I got really lucky because game after game when I very first started I had a good squad. I only have about 36 hours but I can lead convoys. Still much to learn
@@thegerm6300 a good squad is key
Just installed the mod, I found the shop too and no 50 bucks lol, hopefully it gets added later
It can be tough to get on your feet in the arma franchise. Honestly Arma 3 is a much better game and we offer help to beginners on the discord server. Feel free to come check it out
Does Reforger have a scenario like DUWS from Arma 3? I LOVE duws lol
8:44 dont get rid of the keyboard just changee the switches
Can you add mods ontop overthrow or is it all just cold war gear?
You can add some mods. For instance there is a mod called something like RHS - Overthrow Edition
Looks cool… doesn’t work on my Xbox series x when you chose the faction the menu just disappears and nothing happens…
I haven’t heard that one yet. But I know the developers haven’t allowed Xbox users to save progress yet
yea i want to play on my xbox as well the menu disappears after selecting the faction..
Why don’t you guys join my discord server. We have a dedicated server running a 24/7 overthrow mission
@@AustinBlack28 I found another mod that works alright called rhs status quo I think 🤷♂️
@@ylsgaming do you have certain mods? and im talking about like guns,vehicles,all that stuff
How do you get to see where you are on the map? Is that part of the mod?
@@gamesdog9067 yeah part of it
This video started off so strong then delivered very little. If you're new and struggling to understand reforger, do the tutorials. I did and it helped me understand movement, getting gear from gear stations, driving, supplies, medic system and more.
Glad you liked the intro. Fortunately many have found this video useful
Man i was having a lot of fun playing this until i crashed my truck and now it hardly drives, how can i repair it? It says i need supplies
Gotta find a new Vic I guess
If only could play this on Xbox (it's available to download) but there's no save feature on console😭😭😭😭
Appearently the devs are working on this!
Hello, thanks for the video! can u play with tis mood cooop?
Yes sir. Co op up to 6 I believe
I went to do some Recon... finished and came back to my jeep and its gone... WHERE did it GO!!??
Sometimes when you get out without tapping the reverse key, it will roll away. Check downhill from where you parked it lol
@@ylsgaming Its just gone. . . .
Don’t get any new keyboard, my dude! Just trying to get some noise suppression going. I ended up buying a microphone recently from a company called Beacn. And instead of a noise gate where it blocks off noise at a certain level, there’s an expander which gradually dissipates the noise when it’s below your threshold
