All vehicles will disappear after 10 minutes of not using them.
Playing in the fullscreen can cut the bottom part of the UI information for the weapons and turrets.

Some buildings/compositions can be built without a proper obstruction check making these buildings/compositions unusable.
After enabling a previously disabled add-on, included missions are not displayed in the "Scenarios" tab until the game is restarted.
Characters in the turrets sometimes start drifting away creating a surrealistic portrait of a man with really long arms holding a turret.
Deleting objects/fortifications does not reimburse supplies when it was built from a supply truck but deleted from the camp's freebuilding mode.
Players that reconnect to the server are missing rights to use ArmaVision and Building interface. The only way is to disconnect from the server and connect back.
Spawning on the radio in the vehicle into the driver seat will not allow a player to control the vehicle until he changes the seat or leaves the vehicle and re-enters it.
Players sometimes cannot join already existing groups on the server after they connect.
Players reconnecting to the server are not joining the group where they were and need to rejoin the group.

Most AIs in a group are inert during fight with multiple targets.
Tracers have no color in night.
Respawning on the radio in the vehicle will not allow player to use gadgets.
Radial menu is empty after one GM player disconnects.
Screen effects (from blood loss for example) are displayed over UI elements such as chat.
Radio frequency defaults to 32 (or 38 for Soviets) no matter the group.

Warning:

Server performance can be greatly reduced when replicating a high number of characters (players + AIs), and this issue becomes more prominent with increased limits, making it difficult to handle 128 players and 200+ AIs.

Playing Everon Conflict with 128 players is not recommended, while Arland might be more feasible due to its smaller size and fewer AI spawns. Pure PvP without AIs could be a potential alternative for larger player counts.

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.
