This article deals with the server.armaprofile, describing all the visual and difficulty settings in Arma, like friendly and enemy AI quality, HUD, crosshair, 3rd person view, clock indicator and so on.
Extension
| Game | Extension |
|---|---|
| Armed Assault | .ArmAProfile |
| Arma 2 | .ArmA2Profile |
| Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead | .ArmA2OAProfile |
| Arma 3 | .Arma3Profile |
Location
The file's location is different on each operating system:
Windows
The default profile named after the system user can be found at:
- Vista/Win7/8/10/11: C:
\Users \%username% \Documents \<game name> - XP: C:
\Documents and Settings \%username% \My Files \<game name>
User created profiles with a different naming are found at:
- Vista/Win7/8/10/11: C:
\Users \%username% \Documents \<game name> - Other Profiles - XP: C:
\Documents and Settings \%username% \My Files \<game name> Other Profiles
Profile Name
In there is a folder and within it a file which name is based on your profile name:
\<game name>\MyProfileName\MyProfileName.<file extension>
You can define the profile to be loaded with the -name parameter.
Define a different location
You can specify the location by using the -profiles parameter.
For example start the server with
arma_server.exe -profiles=D:\<game name>\Users\ -name=server
You can find your file in
D:\<game name>\Users\server\server.<file extension>
Linux
The name depends upon the -name parameter when starting the Arma server.
Having started the server with "./server -name=server" (-profiles seems to be useless on Linux) you'll find it as a subfolder of your arma-server directory, for example "
If you are not using the -name parameter, the default name "player" will be used and you'll find the Arma profile in player
Example Configuration File
The server has less values compared to a client version.

Arma 3
Since 1.58:
One of the main changes that came with 1.58 is that the difficulty levels were transformed to true presets (Recruit, Regular, Veteran).
Each preset has exactly defined value for each difficulty option. If any of the options doesn't match the preset, the preset is changed to Custom. The particular flags stored in profile are only for the Custom preset, since Recruit, Regular and Veteran are fixed ones and predefined in game's data in CfgDifficultyPresets config class.
- Documentation of presets and data config as well as a list of the most significant changes in 1.58: Arma 3: Difficulty Settings
