Arma Reforger:Startup Parameters

ⓘ

Startup parameters' names are case-insensitive - e.g -logstats and -LogSTATS are identical.

General

addons

-addons takes a list of mod IDs (specified in their gproj files, without brackets) to be loaded on game start, separated by a comma ,.
Mods are searched in profile/addons, in <executableDir>/addons and in directories specified by -addonsDir (see below).

ⓘ

Mod IDs can be:

• GUIDs (preferred - found in .gproj)
• Project ID (found in .gproj)
• Sub-directory name (fallback solution)

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -addons 88037E46AD234C72,88037E46AD234C73

addonsDir

-addonsDir specifies additional directories in which the game must look for mods to load, separated by a comma ,.

ⓘ

By default, the game looks into:

• Documents/My Games/ArmaReforger/profile/addons
• <executableDir>/addons

⚠

It is recommended to use absolute paths to Mod directories even though the provided path can be relative to the executable location.

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -addonsDir D:\DownloadedMods

addonDownloadDir

-addonDownloadDir specifies where the game and the Workshop should download addons. Downloaded addons will be stored in addons subfolder inside of target directory.

⚠

It is recommended to use absolute paths to Mod directories even though the provided path can be relative to the executable location.

It should be used only for publishing addon updates, and not for the initial publish because data from last session are used to fill in the blanks.

It can be used on its own, in combination with packAddon or in combination with parameters starting with "publishAddon".

When no directory is specified (by using publishAddonDir) a directory from last session is used.

Example

ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=ResourceManager -publishAddon

Workbench - NavmeshGeneratorMain Module

autogenerate

-autogenerate generates the provided world's navmesh.

Example

// This opens up the World Editor with myworld.ent loaded, connects Navmesh Editor to it and starts navmesh generation of the specified navmesh projects.
// Navmesh Editor generates the navmesh and saves it to the path originally held by NavmeshWorldEntity in the world.
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=NavmeshGeneratorMain -run -autogenerate "world/myworld.ent"

navmesh projects are optional and can be ALL to generate all projects.

Workbench - ResourceManager Module

0.0.0

buildData

-buildData builds all data of one addon in a specified directory. Without addon specification, it builds data of the current addon (usually a game). There are two mandatory parameters: PlatformName and TargetFolder. The third parameter, AddonName, is not mandatory.

Example 1

This builds data of a current addon
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=ResourceManager -builddata PC "C:\Data\PCData"

Example 2

This builds data of a specific addon called "ArmaReforger"

This will build PC data to the provided directory. Possible options for the platform name are PC, PC_WB, XBOX_ONE, XBOX_SERIES, PS4, HEADLESS.

Resource database cache file resourceDatabase.rdb is being saved after build too. It contains only the files which are part of the build.

State of the incremental build progress is being continuously saved every 60 seconds into LastBuildInfo.binfo file. After an unexpected crash, the next build will continue from this last saved state.

Note that entire workbench application will be exited when build is completed.

metaFiles

-metaFiles is an optional parameter which may be used together with -buildData - it copies .meta files to the built data.

Example

ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=ResourceManager -builddata PC "C:\Data\PCData" -metaFiles

Result

FPS: 60.0, frame time (avg: 16.7 ms, min: 9.3 ms, max: 23.7 ms), Mem: 3291106 kB, Player: 2, AI: 104, Veh: 0 (17), Proj (S: 12, M: 0, G: 0 | 12), RplItemsS: 410, RplItemsC0: 17068

• FPS: <float> = Current server FPS value
• frame time (avg: <float> ms, min: <float> ms, max: <float> ms) = The average, minimum, & maximum server frame times
• Mem: <int> = The current memory usage in kilobytes as reported internally by the server
• Player: <int> = Number of current players
• AI: <int> = Number of current AI spawned on the server
• Veh <int> (<int>) = The value inside the parentheses is the current number of vehicles spawned on the server
• Proj:
  • S: <int> = Number of active shells
  • M: <int> = Number of active missiles
  • G: <int> = Number of active grenades
  • | <int> = Total projectiles
• RplItemsS: <int> = The number of dynamic (spawned during game) streams on the server
• RplItemsC0: <int> = The number of streams open to the client

⚠

The memory usage reported by -logStats is a server approximation and is therefore not 100% accurate when compared with the operating system values.

maxFPS

-maxFPS sets max FPS limit - useful for a server, or to force a client's max FPS.

ⓘ

Also works on clients, even though the Video Settings FPS limitation option is preferred.

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -maxFPS 30

server

This parameter instructs the executable to launch local server and load selected world. When this parameter is used, config is ignored. Server parameter can be combined with addons & addonsDir parameters to start a server with local mods, which can be useful when testing addon before uploading it Workshop.

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -server "worlds/MP/MPTest.ent" -addonsDir "C:\MyModsDir" -addons MyCustomMod

⚠

These parameters apply to the Game executable.

client

-client starts up an RplSession in local client mode. The session tries to connect to the provided IP.

Example #1

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -client 127.0.0.1

Example #2

This will connect game to a locally hosted dedicated server and load the local MyCustomMod addon

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -client -addonsDir "C:\MyModsDir" -addons MyCustomMod

Network Tuning

⚠

These parameters apply to the Server executable.

nds

-nds Network Dynamic Simulation (nds) is a server feature that only streams in relevant replicated entities for each client. the provided value stands for diameter, or the number of cells which are being replicated - default is 2 in each direction. To turn the feature off use -nds 0. A higher diameter will result in a bigger networked view range, lower server performance.

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -nds 1

nwkResolution

-nwkResolution defines what resolution Spatial Map cells should be set at in a 100..1000m range. Smaller resolution will result in less "pop-in" but lower networked view range. For high view range use high resolution, but small diameter.

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -nwkResolution 500

rpl-reconnect

-rpl-reconnect makes the replication try to reconnect instead of immediately raising connection failure.

⚠

Endless reconnection loop is designed for debug purposes only.

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -rpl-reconnect

rpl-timeout-disable

-rpl-timeout-disable disables client/server timeout.

⚠

If a connection stops responding, the server performance will start deteriorating until it will eventually run out of memory and crash. This parameter is strictly for debugging purposes.

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -rpl-timeout-disable

rpl-timeout-ms

-rpl-timeout-ms sets the client/server timeout's value, in milliseconds.

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -rpl-timeout-ms 10000

rpl-validation-rdb-disable

-rpl-validation-rdb-disable disables the validation of clients resource database.

⚠

This should not be disabled in normal usage conditions. This is for development purpose only!

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -rpl-validation-rdb-disable

rpl-validation-scr-disable

Disables the validation of clients scripts checksum.

⚠

This should not be disabled in normal usage conditions. This is for development purpose only!

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -rpl-validation-scr-disable

rpl-validation-version-disable

Disables the validation of clients executable version.

⚠

This should not be disabled in normal usage conditions. This is for development purpose only!

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -rpl-validation-version-disable

staggeringBudget

-staggeringBudget defines how many stationary spatial map cells are allowed to be processed in one tick in 1..10201 range. If not set it uses "-nds" diameter. A lower number will limit how many cells the server has to process per tick, but increase the time it takes for a client to have all relevant entities streamed in, if the server experiences significant performance drops on spawning/teleporting then the number is set too high, if you the client experiences "pop-in" of replicated items then the number is set too low.

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -staggeringBudget 5000

streamingBudget

-streamingBudget is the global streaming budget that is equally distributed between all connections. To decrement the budget, it uses the replicated hierarchy size of each entity that needs to be streamed in. It cannot go under 100 to prevent the system stalling. A lower number will limit how many entities the server has to process per tick, but increase the time it takes for a client to have that entity streamed in, if the server experiences significant performance drops on spawning/teleporting then the number is set too high, if the client experiences "pop-in" of replicated items then the number is set too low.

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -streamingBudget 500

streamsDelta

-streamsDelta is a tool to limit the amount of streams being opened for a client in range 1..1000 (default 100). If the difference between 'the number of streams the server has open' and 'the number of streams the client has open' is larger than the NUMBER then the server will not open any more streams this tick. To be adjusted based on average client networking speed.

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -streamsDelta 200

Debug

0.9.8

AILimit

-aiLimit sets the top limit of AIs. No systems will be able to spawn any AIs when this ceiling is reached (through aiWorld.CanAICharacterBeAdded() - see also SCR_AIGroup and SCR_ChimeraAIAgent).

ⓘ

A value less than or equal to zero simply disables any possible AI.

⚠

This parameter applies to both hosted and singleplayer scenarios; while it can save performance, it can also break the experience!

Example

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -AILimit 32
ArmaReforgerServer.exe -AILimit 0
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -AILimit 100
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -AILimit 0

0.0.0

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -log-rdb-checksum

log-scr-checksum

-log-scr-checksum enables the logging of all script files used in compilation and their checksums.

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -log-scr-checksum

logAppend

-logAppend makes logs to not be emptied on game start, keeping the history.

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -logAppend

logFS

-logFS logs every F'ile System's read/write operation in filesystem.log. This option is very demanding and can produce a big file in a short time, so it is to use with caution for debug purpose.

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -logFS

logLevel

-logLevel allows for different log levels. Each level includes the ones below it (e.g error includes error and fatal). Possible values range from normal (where everything is logged) to fatal (where only extreme issues are logged):

• normal
• warning
• error
• fatal

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -logLevel warning

0.9.8

logsDir

-logsDir defines the directory by name (located in the profile directory) or 0.9.8 by path, in which game instance specific data are stored like logs, memory dumps, temporary files etc.

Examples

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -logsDir "DebugSession1337"								// targets <profileDir>\logs\DebugSession1337
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -logsDir "C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\ArmaReforgerDir"	// targets "C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\ArmaReforgerDir" directly

noCrashDialog

-noCrashDialog skips Crash Reporter's dialog and automatically sends crash reports.

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -noCrashDialog

keepCrashFiles

-keepCrashFiles prevents Crash Reporter from cleaning crash files on successful crash sending.

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -keepCrashFiles

scriptAuthorizeAll

-scriptAuthorizeAll disables the security popup about RunCmd, RunProcess, KillProcess and (outside of profile directory) FileIO operations.

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -scriptAuthorizeAll

VMErrorMode

-VMErrorMode sets script VM's error reporting mode; possible values are:

• silent - silently continues
• log_only - logs the error then continues
• full - shows the VME dialog, logs the error, then clicking "ignore" continues execution
• fatal - logs the error then exits the game

Profiling

checkInstance

-checkInstance turns on script VM's memory allocations logging - see Script Profiling.

Example

ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -checkInstance
