Crimson_Raptor 0 Posted November 30, 2010 Because of this "connecting failed" issue when joining servers, the constant loading of the menus is becoming troublesome. How am I able to start up the game from a shortcut on the desktop to bring up the menu that has your Game version, Singleplayer, Multiplayer, Options, Player Profile, Expansions, Exit, without having to sit thru 32 seconds of: Bohemia Interactive Presents Operation Arma II Arrowhead Arma2.com Copyright 2010 Meridian 4 I mean, my operation system loads faster than 36 seconds?! Come one, we bought the game, the Czechs should know we're not going to realistically load up their game once and never restart, patch, or boot up the game other than leaving it one for 365 days a year and hoping form server to server, right? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm suprised this issue is not stickied in the forums. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson_Raptor 0 Posted November 30, 2010 That's Mosh, I appreciate it. And such a quick response. :P Went from 32 secs to 18 seconds of "Wait a moment..." It helps for sure, I'll let my friends know about it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted November 30, 2010 -world=empty will prevent the animations from loading and the game will start up even faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnimalMother92 10 Posted November 30, 2010 Don't forget -skipIntro ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProfTournesol 956 Posted November 30, 2010 -world=empty will prevent the animations from loading and the game will start up even faster. I add a few troubles with this command and addons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted November 30, 2010 Don't forget -skipIntro ;) You should add that to the wiki. It's not in the knowledge base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted November 30, 2010 just add -skipIntro -nosplash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson_Raptor 0 Posted December 8, 2010 -world=empty will prevent the animations from loading and the game will start up even faster. Oh hell yeah! Thanks Max! Down to 6 seconds load up! All I got now is is the following: "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe" -nosplash -world=empty Thanks guys this helps and should be stickied!

Laqueesha 474 Posted December 10, 2010 just add -skipIntro -nosplash What is the difference between the two? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted December 10, 2010 Click the link above and find out? It includes both (now at least). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted December 11, 2010 It seems like a new -world=empty... only it says that it's permanent. That seems a little vague. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) Oh, I see. If you just do empty shortcut, the world will return after you return to the menu from playing, resulting in longer loading times. If you do the skipintro, it'll make it permanent so that every time you return to the menu, it'll always be empty. Shorter loading times. ;) Or at least, that's what it sounds like.
