stevos758 10 Posted March 6, 2013 Is it possible for me to run an arma 2 server and a arma 3 server on the same PC at the same time? I just built a new PC and my old PC should be quite capable of handling the work load. I just was not sure how to do this to avoid conflicts in network traffic etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iOGC_Aenigma 1 Posted March 6, 2013 You should be able to run the arma 2 dedicated server tool along side the arma 3 client as server. Just set them to different ports to avoid conflict. I know the arma 2 sever automatically changes port if it detects the one specified is in use. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevos758 10 Posted March 6, 2013 Excellent. So say I switch to port 2306 i should port forward 2307 and 2309? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iOGC_Aenigma 1 Posted March 6, 2013 You can run one on 2302 and one on 2303 Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheKhann 10 Posted March 6, 2013 ^ Dont do that, arma uses base_port, base_port+1 and base_port+3, at least arma 2 oa does, so separate them a bit more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iOGC_Aenigma 1 Posted March 7, 2013 I found that using port 2302 and 2303 is fine. Always has been for me. It means 2304 and 2305 are unusable but then 2306 and 2307 are okay. I have never noticed an issue running on the two ports next to each other. What issues could this cause that I haven't noticed yet?

Eggsandwich 1 Posted March 7, 2013 Yes this is possible but just make sure you have your ports set up for both servers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2 This should not be possible, a default dedicated server actually uses 3 ports: 2302, 2303, 2305. For safety, I always space mine out by ~ 10 ports anyway, and I've set our Arma3 server up using 3302. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevos758 10 Posted March 8, 2013 I found that my arma 2 server picks port 2313 automatically when the arma 3 server runs on 2302. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavageCDN 231 Posted March 8, 2013 ^ Yes Arma will pick another port if the current one is in use. For example we have 4 A2 servers 2302, 2312, 2322, 2332 and just firing up the A3 -server it picks 2326 as it's port Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
