Modfolders useless with Win7 64

Recommended Posts

I tried many times more and more combinations and still i have to put the mods altogether in the addons folder with a clear slowdown of speed.

Modfolders as well as game launchers are not working with this system; at least i thought it would be because of this seeing others suggeting...

Some help ? i need directions ;)

Has you installed the game in C:\Programms (X86) installed? so the Standard Folder.

if yes then the UAT is the problem that it not work.

A friend reinstalled the Game in an another Folder and it works

Odd because I'm using Win7 64bit with ArmA2 installed on E drive too ... but I have no issues at all with Mod folders.

You using Kegetys launcher ?

You probably checked this, but I screwed myself this way time and time again, and just the other day too...

I'll use "@CBA" Mod (community based addons) as an Example

1) To run a mod, you MUST use a Shortcut, Do not click on the exe!***

the below is an example of one of my shortcuts:

Target: "d:\games\arma 2\arma2.exe" -mod=@CBA

Startin: "d:\games\arma 2"

P.S. I think the quotes are needed as they nest the Command from the switch

2) Also make sure each "@Mod" folder has its own "AddOn" folder.

For instance I have my install on my RAID (D: drive) in the games folder:

D:\Games\ArmA 2\

D:\Games\ArmA 2\@CBA\

D:\Games\ArmA 2\@CBA\addon\

D:\Games\ArmA 2\@CBA\Keys\

All "*.PBOs" and "*.Bisign" files of that mod must be in a "Addon" Folder, as you know it could be any AddOn folder like the default .\ArmA 2\AddOn.

3) Also if still having problems, try using an Absolute Path in the shortcut, I'll give you my current shortcut which is what I use everyday...

"D:\Games\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -nosplash -mod=g:\arma2\@CBA;g:\arma2\@ACE;g:\arma2\@ACEX;g:\arma2\@ACEX_SM;g:\arma2\@ACEX_PLA

My mods, in this case, are on a USB stick andf ArmA in the RAID array.

G:\ArmA2\@CBA\addons\(*.pbo)(*.bisign)

G:\ArmA2\@ACE\addons\(*.pbo)(*.bisign)

G:\ArmA2\@ACEX\addons\(*.pbo)(*.bisign)

G:\ArmA2\@ACEX_SM\addons\(*.pbo)(*.bisign)

G:\ArmA2\@ACE_PLA\addons\(*.pbo)(*.bisign)

***troubleshooted with a friend who assued me he was starting from the dewsktop shortcut, after 3 hours I asked him to re-create his shortcut, to which he said, "oh that's a shortcut..." ....just an experience

***Side note, if I hear you right once you get this figured out and are still having problems with speed while using the mod, try the last option and use a USB stick...

Good Luck

Yup, I get that :P

Oh and I just thought too, iff all that does not work, see windows defender, consider running as an admin... just a long shot guess... and something to do if you still stuck

Good Luck
