I have used Kegetys
ArmA launcher (currently at v1.11) for well over a year now. I find it extremley useful for quickly disabling/activating any Mods, and for connecting straight to the
TG Server from its main screen.
However, I could never get the damn thing to launch any of the beta patches - until now! So, if anyone else has struggled with this, then gave up in disgust (like me) here is how to do it. I hope at least one other person finds this tip useful (otherwise I will be the only numpty in here)!
Start the Launcher, and in the bottom window (where you select the .exe) click on "Change" and browse to your "
beta - arma.exe" the path should look something like the following (assuming you have a default install to C:\)
C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\beta\arma.exe
Then select Options (Drop down menu) > Options. In the Additional parameters field (bottom left of the dialog box) add the following:
-mod=beta -nosplash > OK (you can add your additional Mods here too if you prefer: ;@SIX_Pack1;@ArmAEffects etc).
Thats it, beta will start via the launcher. If you don't have the launcher and want to give it a try (recommended) you can get it via Kegetys
website, or just click on
ArmA Downloads in my Sig (it's on Downloads Page 2).
