How to join a server without any launcher

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:
Image

Open you steam and find you Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead game


Image

Right click your mouse over Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead game and then click Properties


Image

Click the "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS..."


Image

You need to add the following text to the Launch Options:

"-mod=EXPANSION;@DayzOrigins" -connect=<IP> -port=<port> -nosplash -world=empty -nopause -noLogs
Where:
  • <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)
For example:
"-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:
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:
  • <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)
For example:
"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.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any problems.

For me an error saying that the scope cfg gave error. Does anyone know what can be?

By comander the game does not open tbm the corrupt data. If I try to repair it starts to download the old patch.






Pra mim da um erro falando que cfg scope deu erro. Alguêm sabe o que pode ser?

Pelo comander o jogo não abre tbm da data corrupta. Se eu tento reparar ele começa a baixar o patch antigo.

You should copy the "Addons" folder of the ArmA2 to ArmA2 OA. This can resvolver the problem, for me it worked.

Você precisa copiar a pasta "Addons" do Arma2 para o Arma2 OA. Eu estava com o mesmo problema e resolveu.

i play only on a single server. With the shortcut i dont need to start dayzcommander or use the server list => remote => parse IP/Port.

Go to start and run CMD.exe (or use windows key + R and type cmd)
drag and drop your arma.bat file into that window and press enter.

the way you will see the error message
