BetterHitsEffects -ABANDONED-

Statement on the Suspension of My Arma Reforger Mods Development

After about four years, over 3 million downloads, countless hours of pure euphoria playing and modding Arma Reforger, and thanks to the many great people I've met on this path, I must announce the suspension of all my solo mods support.

The reason is not a lack of desire, but the technical state of the game and its tools after the release of the stable version 1.6. Over the past few months, 90% of my time has been spent not on creating new content, but on endless fixes for mods broken by updates. The process that once brought me joy turned into a struggle against unstable tools, unpredictable bugs, and a sharp drop in performance.

I have exhausted both the emotional and physical capacity for this fight. The current situation in my life requires me to focus on other things, and I can no longer afford to spend hundreds of hours waging a war against the engine and its tools.

I am eternally grateful to this community for your unwavering support and amazing feedback over all these years. Being a part of it has been incredible. For more detailed thoughts, you are welcome to check the "Betters Mods" branch on the official Arma Discord server.

The mods will remain on the Workshop, but all further support and updates are suspended indefinitely. I will definitely return someday — perhaps in Arma 4, perhaps sooner, when the time is right.

Affects all effects of hits and explosions.
