Description

Issue Type: Bug / Technical Oversight / UI Feedback

Severity: Major (Game-breaking / Untraceable Team Sabotage)

Server & Incident Details:

  • Game: Arma Reforger

  • Mode: Conflict

  • Server Name: [OFFICIAL] Conflict HQ Commander Everon - 17516015

  • Timestamp of Incident: Today between 14:00 and 17:00 CEST

In Conflict mode, radio antennas are critical infrastructure controlling radio coverage, spawn points, and logistics. Faction notifications for structure dismantling appear to be broken or highly erratic—frequently failing to broadcast to team members altogether.

During the specified timeframe on the official server, a griefing player dismantled 5 to 10 radio towers across multiple bases in under 5 minutes. The player exploited a fast loop: spawning at a base, equipping a shovel, dismantling the antenna, committing suicide/redeploying, spawning at the next base, and repeating.

Throughout this entire sequence, not a single notification or log entry was broadcasted to anyone on the team.

Because the notifications failed entirely:

  1. No one was alerted to who was dismantling the team's critical infrastructure.

  2. The team was completely unable to identify, report, or vote-kick the player responsible.

  3. Due to ongoing active combat and disrupted logistics, the team was unable to recover and rebuild the network even 2 hours after the incident, completely ruining the match for the entire team.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Join an official Conflict server (e.g., [OFFICIAL] Conflict HQ Commander Everon - 17516015).

  2. Spawn at a friendly base equipped with a Radio Antenna.

  3. Equip a shovel / entrenching tool.

  4. Approach the antenna with the shovel selected and perform the contextual Dismantle action.

  5. Suicide / Redeploy immediately via the pause menu.

  6. Spawn at another friendly base with an antenna and repeat steps 3–5.

  7. Observe that structure dismantling notifications fail to trigger consistently (or fail completely, as in this incident), allowing players to wipe entire networks without generating UI alerts or log entries in the faction feed.

Expected Result

Dismantling high-value friendly assets (especially radio antennas) should consistently and reliably trigger a high-priority, persistent notification for the team.

Due to the intense UI noise during gameplay (constant combat cues, radio chatter, chat messages, and system alerts), this notification needs to be BOLD, highlighted in RED, and remain visible on-screen for at least 15 seconds (e.g., "WARNING: Player [Name] dismantled Radio Antenna at [Location]").

Actual Result

Dismantle notifications are erratic and frequently fail to appear altogether. In this instance, ~5 antennas were dismantled consecutively without a single notification appearing for any team member, leaving the action completely untraceable in real-time.
