0 Relentless Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Normally you have to start your game client first and after that you are able to start the server, to prevent this error when running a local server but because you installed the server on steam, I recommend using a batch to start it otherwise you should copy the ArmA OA files to another directory and create a custom server there.

0 WLF Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I am using a batch file too. First, start the server, then pause (I use "timeout 20"), then start the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Relentless Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 It's just about starting the client first as I mentioned before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
