Overview
CTI Reforged is our Arma Reforger server. It's PvE: everyone on the server is on the same side, fighting the AI together.
It's also heavily modded. Expect fast-rope helicopters, Little Birds, tanks, Bradleys and a huge amount of fully modular gear on top of the base game.
For what's running on the server right now, check the Newswire and the Arma Reforger channels in the CTI Discord.
Connecting
- Own Arma Reforger on Steam and have it installed.
- Join: click JOIN SERVER on the Arma Reforger card on the Servers page. It launches Arma Reforger through Steam and points it at the server. You can also find it in the in-game server browser by searching "CTI".
- Join the CTI Discord at discord.gg/ctiservers for announcements, finding players, and support.
Mods
Arma Reforger handles mods for you. When you join, the game lists the mods the server needs and downloads them from the Reforger Workshop before it connects, so there's nothing to install ahead of time.
- Your first join is a big download. CTI Reforged runs a lot of mods, so the first join can take a while. Let it finish, and make sure the drive Arma Reforger is installed on has room to spare.
- Later joins are quick. The game only downloads mods that have changed since last time.
- Join failed or a download stalled? Restart the game and join again. It picks up where it left off.
After a Game Update
Bohemia's updates to Arma Reforger often break mods until their authors catch up, so the server can be down for a while after a big patch.
- Server missing from the browser after a patch? It's probably waiting on a mod update. The Newswire and Discord announce when it's back.
- A version error, or mods failing to load? Restart the game so it can fetch the updated mods, then join again.
- Still failing? In Steam, right-click Arma Reforger → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files, then try again.
What's on the Server
The mod list changes over time, but these are the headline additions:
- Helicopters with fast-roping. Insert straight onto an objective without landing.
- Little Birds. Small, quick scout and transport helicopters.
- Armour. Tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles alongside the base game's vehicles.
- Modular gear. A deep arsenal of uniforms, vests, helmets and kit, so you can build a loadout for the job.
Playing Together
PvE in Reforger is at its best when people play as a team.
- Stick with a group. The AI punishes anyone who wanders off alone.
- Use the CTI Discord to find people. Ask in the Arma Reforger channels before you jump in and you'll rarely play solo.
- Crew vehicles properly. Tanks, Bradleys and helicopters need a driver or pilot plus gunners. Don't take one off alone and leave your squad walking.
- Pilots fly for the team. If you take a helicopter, you're the taxi. Tell people where you're going and wait for your passengers.
Troubleshooting
- Stuck on the loading screen: give it a few minutes on your first join while the mods download. If nothing changes, restart the game.
- Can't find the server: clear the server browser filters and search "CTI". If it still isn't listed, check Discord: it may be restarting or updating.
- Crashes after a game update: restart, verify your game files in Steam, and check the Newswire in case the server is waiting on a mod fix.
- Anything else: open a support ticket in the CTI Discord with what happened and any error message.
