ARMA Reforger received a small patch a few hours ago. Update 0.9.5.97 went live on PC today and will go live on Xbox platforms on July 14; it is heavily focused on bug fixes. However, it does bring several tweaks and new additions to multiple aspects of the game.
The game AI now features a new navmesh area type for ladders. The community section now has a Feedback Tracker link, and the Rocket M72 gets a new model and rigs.
