• The Arma Reforger Server installed from the “Tools” section of Steam.

In your Arma Reforger Server directory (normally C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma Reforger Server):
1. Create a new directory, call it “configs”.
2. Create a new file and name it “launch.bat”.

Inside the configs directory we created before:
1. Create a new text file and name it “config.json”

ArmaReforgerServer.exe -config “.\configs\config.json” -profile ArmaReforgerServer

Save and close the file.

For example, if your server was in the USA, you would change “<your_country>” to “US”.

For more information on any of these config options, review the Wiki pages we opened right at the start.
A list of possible values for the “scenarioId” field is located under the 2nd link from the start of the guide.

{ “dedicatedServerId”: “”, “region”: “<your_country>”, “gameHostBindAddress”: “”, “gameHostBindPort”: 2001, “gameHostRegisterBindAddress”: “”, “gameHostRegisterPort”: 2001, “adminPassword” : “<your_admin_password>”, “game”: { “name”: “<your_server_name>”, “scenarioId”: “<your_mission_id>”, “playerCountLimit”: 64, “password”: “<your_password>”, “visible”: true, “gameProperties”: { “serverMaxViewDistance”: 1600, “battleEye”: false, “fastValidation”: true }, “mods”: [] } }

If you don’t wish to have a password, change that line as follows:

“password”: false,

or

“password”: “”,

You will need to test this, as there’s been a variety of reports about what does and doesn’t work here.

Good luck!
