No splash startup?

[ratslla 0]

Hi,

Couldn't find this anywhere, but i remember back in my OFP days that we could add ~-nosplash (or something similar) to your .exe file which would skip the intro. Is this possible. and if so does any1 know the trick to do so?

I'm not using the quicklaunchtool as thats not working properly for me.

Cheers,

Allstar

-nosplash

still works

What Shadow want say is:

right click your ArmA shortcut, options and add the -nosplash

into the target field at the end.

Just adding this since i thought you were asking more for the

how than the what.

The real benefit of -nosplash is overrated, in reality it is very small with ArmA, as data are loaded in the background while intro screens are displayed. Did anyone really measured the speedup gained by using this flag?

Seems no faster at all for me - I still have to wait the same amount of time just with no splash screens

Yeah, you're right Suma it has more the psychological

aspect which makes one think everything is under his

control in case of ArmA with or without splash screen.

I must admit it's been same for me only when i read

your post realizing that there's not a significant difference

in loading speed.

i always use a -nosplash type flag in any game because i hate branding everytime i load a game "EA SPORTS ! ITS IN THE.......... oh shut up."

i think it is a bit faster but i'm using mostly Arma Spy anyway which connects me directly to the multiplayer section really fast

just seen the changelog for the public beta

"5136 - New: -world=empty command line option for faster game loading (no island and no menu animation loaded)"

wicked :-)

Use ArmA Launcher, it has a option to remove the splash screen in just once click ... and you can also join servers straight away without having to go through multiplayer ingame

those flags didn't seem to shorten loading times when used by themselves, but both together they do, i.e:

arma.exe -nosplash -world=empty

certainly made for a much quicker startup on my system, anyway...

good to see that it still works, but i keep getting the message that its an invalid path.. Sorry i'm a noob at this, can you gents please specify how to put it in the target box ?

Lets say i put it like this..

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" arma.exe -nosplash -world=empty ?

it states the error invalid target box? I remember i had it with ofp too but i can't figure out the way to fix it..

Thanks again gents!

Remove the last "arma.exe"

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -nosplash -world=empty

sweet! i figured it out already.. when hitting apply it gives the error (figures as the target does not excist) but when i just hit "ok" instead of apply it puts it there anyway and it goes pretty fast for me.

Thanks again gents!
