Commander Salamander 10 Posted August 3, 2017 Instruction: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server#Instructions_.28Windows_o.2Fs.29 - Step 6. Failures: Installing Compatibility Manager and attempting to locate the file, running the ArmA3_Steam_updater.cmd instead of the #Arma3server_steamcmd_example.cmd file, & attempting to open the Local Security Policy configuration. Issue: when I attempt to run the the #Arma3server_steamcmd_example.cmd file located @ E:\Games\ArmA3\A3Files as stated in Step 6, I receive the "This App Can't Run on Your PC - To Find a Version for your PC, check with the software publisher" error. Additional Note: I would like this issue to be resolved in the next few hours as I have an operation for my unit, of which I am the leader of, @ 8 PM EST. I would like a dedicated server to be established before then so as to minimize the probability of critical errors caused by hosting temporary servers from one's own computer.

I cannot install Arma on my C: drive because of space limitation. Can I install it into my E:(\games\steam) drive? The drive that you are referring to is the drive that also includes the A3Files & A3Master folders, correct? I also have a file that's named the same (steamcmd.exe) in my E:\Apps\Steam folder, yet it has a different image/thumbnail. Because of these potential conflicts, will I need to remove all of my previous progress from the other instruction linked in the description, or are there no conflicts and I can proceed with what I already have installed in accordance with the other instruction, yet follow the instruction that you typed and linked instead?

yxman 90 Posted August 4, 2017 no you don't need to remove anything, just try the steps above. you can choose whatever directory/harddrive you want, just replace them. this is so far the easiest step, its just dl the server sw, configure & opening ports and optimizing is another fun part ;D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been rather busy with my arma unit as of late. I completed your instruction, but when I continued that of the original instruction ( https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server#Instructions_.28Windows_o.2Fs.29 ) I was again stuck on the step #6/7 even when I passed step #6, what step #7 stated didn't happen. You said that after that: "it's just dl the server sw, configure & opening ports and optimizing"; should I download the server sw (I don't know what that means) next, and if so I would like for you to provide instruction upon how to do so, or should I continue with the original instructions, which, like I said, I got stuck on. I would like a response soon if you can provide one soon, but if not it's no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
