Startup Parameters – Arma Reforger

ⓘ

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

ArmaReforger.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

ArmaReforger.exe -addonsDir D:\DownloadedMods,Addons

addonDownloadDir

-addonDownloadDir specifies where the game and the Workshop should download addons.
