On the DVD which you bought. Or, if you bought a digital version in the folder you saved the game to.

The game files are the serverfiles! Meaning you need to upload/copy the full game folder to your server.

ok and that means if i bought this game for your own, you can use all files for your server as well?

Should be something BIS takes into account for ArmA 3, it's a pain in the ass to get all that data to a server (unless you have a VDS/Dedi)

It'd be great to have standalone server files.

Goss is right. It's all very well dismissing our queries with 'your game files are your server files' but remember that us dedicated server owners have to get all that data from our gaming pc to a remote server.

It isn't ideal, but you can download and install the game on EC2 and upload to your server from there. It will only cost you $5 at most to download and transfer a full CO installation to a server. (The actual amount should be less, but it depends on the data transfer.)

If you have a Windows server and bought the game via Sprocket, you can simply download the sprocket files directly from the server, install the game there and then run the dedi.exe - this also allows easy installation of beta patches. :)

EDIT: I do agree though, having the relevant data files in an online repository would be ideal for server owners.
