Beat 1.12 problems after reinstall

[nobrainer 0]

Installed Armed Assault DVD UK version 1.04.

Installed Queens Gambit DVD UK version and patched it to 1.08.

Started up ArmA and it fails to start because of lousy graphicscard, but it creates all the files and directories.

Patch up to 1.12 beta.

This one starts up 1.08 ok:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">D:\ArmA\ArmA_Server.exe -port=2302 -nosound -world=empty -cfg=D:\ArmAFiles\Cfg\startup.cfg -profiles=D:\ArmAFiles\Cfg\ -config=D:\ArmAFiles\Cfg\serverECL.cfg -mod=@ECL

This one gives me an error:

As you can see from my startup line I us "D:\ArmAFiles\cfg\" as profileplace, so it uses "D:\ArmAFiles\cfg\Users\NoN\" as the place to store all profile changes.

The 1.08 server reads the profile "NoN.ArmAProfile", which contains:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">version=1;

But the 1.12 which gives me error just make a new file called "NoN." and don't use "NoN.ArmAProfile".

Can someone please help me with this one???

Are you making sure that the beta\ArmA_server.exe is getting run from your normal ArmA folder?

In your case, the shortcut link under "Start in:" should be "D:\ArmA" and not "D:\ArmA\beta". Is this the case?

I simply copied the arma_beta.exe from the beta folder into the arma root, as i had other errors and problems with the profiles.

This just made the server start in 1.08 and with a error saying:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Addon CA_Hotfix requires version 1.09 of application

Here I did not get any errors and the server started 1.12. Seems to be ok.

But it's a bit strange since I got 2 servers that should be looking the same, but they act different.

But who cares...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, both of you have made trial easier and I made the server run again.

The problem here was that running any ArmA or ArmA server exe from the beta folder means that it cannot access the ArmA files properly, unless you make it run in the standard ArmA folder - either like Mr.G-C said by copying it in there, or by changing the folder it is executed in (though it seems you misunderstood me there).

You can leave the server exe file in the beta folder if you change the shortcut like this:

Target: "D:\ArmA\beta\arma_server.exe" .... params

Start in: "D:\ArmA"
