== Network Tuning ==
{{Feature|important|These parameters apply to the Server executable.}}
=== nds ===
{{hl|-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 {{hl|-nds 0}}. A higher diameter will result in a bigger networked view range, lower server performance.
; Example
ArmaReforgerServer.exe -nds 1
=== nwkResolution ===
{{hl|-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 ===
{{hl|-rpl-reconnect}} makes the replication try to reconnect instead of immediately raising connection failure.

=== staggeringBudget ===
{{hl|-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 "{{Link|#nds|-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 ===
{{hl|-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 ===
{{hl|-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

ⓘ
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.

⚠
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 -addonDownloadDir D:\DownloadedMods

GPUAdapter

-GPUAdapter forces to use the graphic card at the provided index. GPU index can be found using DxDiag.

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -GPUAdapter 0

language

-language sets the game language by language code - supported language codes depends on StringTable which is set in gproj. Arma Reforger supported languages are:

  • flag uk.gif en_us - English
  • flag france.gif fr_fr - French
  • flag italy.gif it_it - Italian
  • flag germany.gif de_de - German
  • flag spain.gif es_es - Spanish
  • flag czechrep.gif cs_cz - Czech
  • flag poland.gif pl_pl - Polish
  • flag russia.gif ru_ru - Russian

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -language cs_cz

noBackend

-noBackend disables backend-related http communication.

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -noBackend

noSound

-noSound disables the sound system processing.

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -noSound

noSplash

-noSplash skips splash screens on game load.

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -noSplash

noThrow

-noThrow disables all kinds of error message dialogs. (VME's, asserts, crashes, ...).

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -noThrow

profile

-profile defines the profile to be used - located in the %userprofile%\My Documents\My Games\<name> directory.

singleThreadedUpdate

-singleThreadedUpdate disables multithreaded update.

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -singleThreadedUpdate

world

-world defines the world file to be loaded on startup, both absolute and relative paths are supported although it is recommended to use path relative to created filesystems (eg. worlds/myworld.ent). Workbench ignores this parameter - for that, use -load parameter instead.

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -world worlds/myworld.ent


Window

window

-window starts the game windowed (fullscreen by default).

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -window

posX

posY

-posX and -posY define the initial window position. They must be used with -window.
posX 0 is left of the screen,
posY 0 is top of the screen.

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -window -posX 0 -posY 64

screenWidth

screenHeight

-screenWidth and -screenHeight define the window's size (and not its render resolution). They must be used with -window.

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -window -screenWidth 1024 -screenHeight 578

forceUpdate

-forceUpdate forces the application to render and update even when the window is out of focus.

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -forceUpdate

noFocus

-noFocus prevents window focus stealing on game initialization.

Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -noFocus


Workbench

⚠
These parameters apply to the Workbench executable.

wbModule

-wbModule specifies which Workbench module must be launched (with -run):

Editor Entry (case-insensitive)
Resource Manager resourceManager
World Editor worldEditor
Particle Editor particleEditor
Animation Editor animEditor
Script Editor scriptEditor
Audio Editor audioEditor
Behavior Editor behaviorEditor
Procedural Animation Editor procAnimEditor
String Editor localizationEditor
ⓘ
  • Parameters specified after the module name are considered to be parameters to the module specifically.
  • The -run parameter must be added after each instance of -wbmodule for them to launch.
Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbModule=WorldEditor -run

plugin

-plugin specifies which Workbench plugin must be launched (WorldTestPlugin, TextureImportTool, MaterialImportTool, WorldDataExport etc).

ⓘ
  • Parameters specified after the plugin are considered to be parameters to the plugin specifically.
  • Plugins are loaded for specific modules. Before loading a plugin specify the appropriate wbmodule.
Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=ResourceManager -plugin=ResavePlugin pluginArguments

run

-run tells the executable to open the designated Workbench module (specified by -wbmodule usage).

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=WorldEditor -run

load

-load tells the executable to open selected file in the designated Workbench module (specified by -wbmodule usage). The file path can be specified either by absolute path, relative path, exact path or by resource name.

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=WorldEditor -run -load "world/myworld.ent"

This will open up the World Editor and load the myworld.ent file.

packAddon

-packAddon is the main parameter used for addon packing.

When no directory is specified (by using packAddonDir), the directory from the last session is used.

When packing an addon for the first time, a new directory is automatically created in the same dir as profile.

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=ResourceManager -packAddon

packAddonDir

-packAddonDirspecifies the output directory where resulting PAKs will be saved.

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=ResourceManager -packAddon -packAddonDir "D:\build\Green"

publishAddon

-publishAddon is main parameter used for addon publishing.

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

publishAddonDir

-publishAddonDir specifies the pre-packed data directory (obtained by the -packAddon parameter above). When not specified, directory from the last session is used.

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=ResourceManager -publishAddon -publishAddonDir "D:\build\Green"

publishAddonVersion

-publishAddonVersion specifies the mod's version number. When not specified, newest version found on back-end is used and it's last digit is automatically incremented.

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbmodule=ResourceManager -publishAddon -publishAddonVersion "2.3.5"

publishAddonChangeNote

-publishAddonChangeNote is an optional parameter that specifies a note to the provided update.

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -publishAddonChangeNote "Fix shading"

publishAddonPreviewImage

-publishAddonPreviewImage is an optional parameter that which you can use to specify path to preview image file.

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -publishAddonPreviewImage "z:/mymod/my_preview_image.jpg"

publishAddonScreenshots

-publishAddonScreenshots is an optional parameter that specify folder from where the screenshots should be taken. It is then automatically scanned for all valid image file types (jpg, png, bmp).

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -publishAddonScreenshots "Z:/mymod/screenshots"

scrDefine

-scrDefine allows to determine a script preprocessor definition. Multiple ones can be chained using multiple -scrDefine.

ⓘ
This parameter also works for Client and Server executables.

#ifdef TAG_DEBUG Print("The TAG_DEBUG flag is defined."); #else Print("The TAG_DEBUG flag is not defined."); #endif

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -scrDefine TAG_DEBUG -scrDefine OTHER_FLAG
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -scrDefine TAG_DEBUG -scrDefine OTHER_FLAG
ArmaReforgerServer.exe -scrDefine TAG_DEBUG -scrDefine OTHER_FLAG

wbBackendLogin

-wbBackendLogin enforces a specific account to log in. Password is hidden console log.

Example
ArmaReforgerWorkbenchSteam.exe -wbBackendLogin myEmail@bistudio.com myPassword

logStats

-logStats allows to log performance statistics every (optionally) defined interval (in milliseconds).

Example
ArmaReforgerServer.exe -logStats - logs every seconds
ArmaReforgerServer.exe -logStats 10000 - only logs every 10s
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 locally hosted dedicated server and load 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

debugger

-debugger sets the script debugger to a specific address.

ⓘ
The default value is localhost.
Example
ArmaReforgerServer.exe -debugger 192.168.0.5

debuggerPort

-debuggerPort sets the script debugger to a specific port.

  • normal
  • warning
  • error
  • fatal
Example
ArmaReforgerSteam.exe -logLevel warning

logFS

-logFS logs every 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

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
