spitfire007 10 Posted November 21, 2013 The dedicated server will only show up in gamespy if I join it via the IP and remote. After that it shows up. I have set persistent=1 What could I be doing wrong ? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1124 Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) that's normal as the mission INIT don't happen until client (player type) joins what you may use is commandline to start dedicated client and autojoin the server (change IP to what you need if not local) arma2oa.exe -client -localhost=127.0.0.1 -port=2302 -name=TriggerInit123 -maxmem=250 -nosound this will force the dedicated server to start mission Edited November 21, 2013 by Dwarden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spitfire007 10 Posted November 22, 2013 Hummm.. that did not work for me. It started the game no problem and I saw both the client and the server in taskmanager but I didn't see it connect to the server client. I typed it into a batch file exactly as above. They were both run locally on the same machine if it's any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1124 Posted November 22, 2013 well make sure the IP and port is correct one, that was just example of client started ON same OS instance where server runs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spitfire007 10 Posted November 23, 2013 The server and the client are both being run on the same machine. So the local IP above should be right ? The port is 2302 as above. The client should try to join the server ? But it does not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
