Right-click on your icon and add "–nosplash" to your target line (minus the quotation marks).

-nosplash

not -nospash

I made mistake in writing. This is what i have in my shortcut field:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe" -mod=PMC;@dfs_3rdperson; –nosplash

Still nothing, just some "endless sky" WHEN game is loaded...

Goes here:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe" –nosplash -mod=PMC;@dfs_3rdperson

after the exe, before -mod=

heres some info on startup parameters:

and do not put a ; behind the latest mod.

And also, if you bought and installed PMC (the DLC from BIS) you don't need to have it in your mod line because it launches automatically with OA.

I put this:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe" -nosplash -mod=PMC;@dfs_3rdperson

the line (-nosplash) is shorter than in your example (–nosplash), but now working... Only that is writed "Wait a minute..." so you need the same time to load a game... with or without splash... the same time... Never mind man, thanks anyway!

Shorter then my example? I basically copied and pasted what you had, but moved the -noslpash to where it goes.

The -nosplash removes the splash screens at the beginning, if you wanted your game quicker to load then add:

-nosplash -skipIntro -world=empty

so:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe" -nosplash -skipIntro -world=empty -mod=PMC;@dfs_3rdperson

Load time is dicated by what your loading, assuming PMC is big, and for a DLC, why is PMC loaded like a mod,

isn't it like OA where it shows up in the expansion menu?

Unicode mess up... Looks like he had a en dash in the launch line instead of figure dash. Compare:

–nosplash

-nosplash

First, you didnt understand what i was thinkig with shorter, look example:

(-) (–)

You see the line at the right? It seems a lil' bit longer? ;)

Other, I just coppied what i found in my default PMC shortcut, -mod=PMC... And if you look at the BAF shortcut, you will find the same thing, only for BAF...

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe" -nosplash -skipIntro -world=empty -mod=PMC;@dfs_3rdperson

That thing work like a dream! Thank you!
