Desktop shortcut to get you straight on Asylum server

[Oto Moto]

EDIT: This should work. My Arma got broken to unrelated issues.

 

 

So you can create a Desktop shortcut to automatically run arma and connect you to the server.

It is not as easy as it seems since the game then goes down, needs to restart the battleye service....its a mess.

I managed to do it and here it is:

 

 

1.Find your arma folder.  Steam library - Arma3 - Browse local files.

2. Make a desktop shortuct for arma3battleye.exe -  <--NOT ARMA3.EXE Drag and drop the arma3battleye.exe on your Desktop icon while holding the windows key, it will say in a tooltip "Crate shortcut".

3. Now Right click the shortcut on the desktop and under Properties,  Target: it should look like this:

 

Quote

"E:\SteamLibrary22\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3battleye.exe" 2 1 -noSplash -skipIntro -world=Altis -noPause -connect=192.99.39.72 -port=3202

Explanation:

Target path will be specific to YOUR harddrive. ( F:/NotPorn/Arma3.exe)

Numbers 2 and 1 need to be there for battleye.

The rest are standard arma 3 launch paramteres, you can learn more about them here:

-connect=192.99.39.72 -port=3202 This gets you on Asylum #2 if you want some other server then put a correct IP in there.

Thanks for the info!
Got mine config'ed,  I'll give it a shot tomorrow after I get to the truck stop in Denver as I'll have all day to mess with it if it doesn't work.
+1 from me. If  you ever visit my beloved Server 4. I'll help you out however I can for this info. :-)

Wouldn't arma 3 new server browser on the launcher work as well. All you have to do is put the server as your favorite and its the first one that you will see. 

[Oto Moto]

It would. It just never ocured to me to use that thing I come from a place and time when nothing wokred, you got no support and had to do it all yourself.

For some reason it doesn't work correctly for me, but I wanted to give you kudos for using parameters. Very clever that you thought of that it works for some of my friends too, so thanks on their behalf.

Yeah, ive fiddled with it and still can't get it to work. Still a nice effort, and even nicer of you to share it to help others out. You're good in my books for this.
