Hello,
There are two ways you can do this (that I am aware of).
The first one is starting the game from steam. To do that:
The other way is starting the game with a batch file:
Let me know if you have any problems.
There are two ways you can do this (that I am aware of).
The first one is starting the game from steam. To do that:
Open you steam and find you Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead game
Right click your mouse over Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead game and then click Properties
Click the "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..."
You need to add the following text to the Launch Options:
"-mod=EXPANSION;@DayzOrigins" -connect=<IP> -port=<port> -nosplash -world=empty -nopause -noLogs
Where:For example:
- <IP> = the IP of the server
- <port> = the port of the server
- @DayzOrigins = the name of the folder where you have your origins files (some of you might have @DayzOrigins179)
"-mod=EXPANSION;@DayzOrigins" -connect=37.187.131.146 -port=2302 -nosplash -world=empty -nopause -noLogs
You can also set this without the server information:
"-mod=EXPANSION;@DayzOrigins" -nosplash -world=empty -nopause -noLogs
The other way is starting the game with a batch file:
Hope this helps.Open a new notepad and copy past the following text:
"<arma 2 folder>\ArmA2OA_BE.exe" 0 0 "-mod=EXPANSION;@DayzOrigins" -connect=<IP> -port=<port> -nosplash -world=empty -nopause -noLogs
Where:For example:
- <arma 2 folder> = the instalation folder of arma 2
- <IP> = the IP of the server
- <port> = the port of the server
- @DayzOrigins = the name of the folder where you have your origins files (some of you might have @DayzOrigins179)
"E:\Jogos\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\ArmA2OA_BE.exe" 0 0 "-mod=EXPANSION;@DayzOrigins" -connect=37.187.131.146 -port=2302 -nosplash -world=empty -nopause -noLogs
You can also set this without the server information:
"E:\Jogos\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\ArmA2OA_BE.exe" 0 0 "-mod=EXPANSION;@DayzOrigins" -nosplash -world=empty -nopause -noLogs
Save this document as "start arma.bat"
You probably need to run the file as administrator, otherwise BE will fail to start.
You can create several of these files. One for each server.
Let me know if you have any problems.
