Voice Over Network (VON) Settings

Arma Reforger includes a built-in Voice Over Network (VON) system for in-game voice communication. You can customize how VON behaves on your server through the gameProperties section of your config.

VON Settings

All VON settings go inside the gameProperties object in your server config JSON:

"gameProperties": {
    "VONDisableUI": false,
    "VONDisableDirectSpeechUI": false,
    "VONCanTransmitCrossFaction": false
}

Available Options

VONDisableUI

• Type: boolean
• Default: false

When set to true, the VON UI indicator is hidden for all players. Players can still use voice chat, but they won't see the visual indicator showing who's transmitting.

VONDisableDirectSpeechUI

• Type: boolean
• Default: false

When set to true, hides the direct speech (proximity chat) UI indicator. This is separate from the radio VON UI.

VONCanTransmitCrossFaction

• Type: boolean
• Default: false

When set to true, players can transmit on other factions' radios. When false, players can only listen to enemy radios but cannot transmit on them.

Common Configurations

Hardcore / Realism Server

Disable all VON UI for a more immersive experience:

"gameProperties": {
    "VONDisableUI": true,
    "VONDisableDirectSpeechUI": true,
    "VONCanTransmitCrossFaction": false
}

Casual / Fun Server

Keep defaults with cross-faction radio enabled:

"gameProperties": {
    "VONDisableUI": false,
    "VONDisableDirectSpeechUI": false,
    "VONCanTransmitCrossFaction": true
}
