Additional information

Running the Arma 3 installed with GU

You cannot run directly Arma 3 from the installation path, Arma3 will use the default addons directory (from the Steam installation). You need to use Arma3GU.exe to force Arma3 to use the Addons directory of your new installation.

Arma3GU.exe accepts the same arguments as Arma3.exe. examples:

  • Run Arma3diag.exe with the mod @debug

Arma3GU.exe /diag -mod=@Debug

  • Run Arma3.exe with the mod @debug

Arma3GU.exe -mod=@Debug
