Configuring the game service

The file C:\TCAFiles\Users\admin\2\arma3server.exe does not exist

 

When I try to create an arma 3 server it wont work even if I try with another user.

Can you confirm that the arma3server.exe is actually at that exact path?

You'll need to download the files first.

[Zapmaster14]

I artificially created the files and directory (By downloading them manually) but got another error about the folder already being there.

 

I'm quite confused with this.

Have you installed the game using the build in tcadmin game installerbefore creating the server ?

[Zapmaster14]

I've tried installing Arma via SteamCMD and still wont create.

You need to be logged in with a account owning a valid arma3 license in order to get the files over steamcmd. Worked fine for me

go into your C:\TCAFiles\Games folder

 

make a file called download_arma3.bat

in that file have

 

@echo off

steamcmd +runscript download_arma3.txt

pause

 

then create another file calling it download_arma3.txt

have

 

// download_arma3.txt

@ShutdownOnFailedCommand 1 //set to 0 if updating multiple servers at once

@NoPromptForPassword 1

login username password

force_install_dir C:\TCAFiles\Games\arma3

 

app_update 233780 validate

quit

 

then run the download_arma3.bat, after downloading then try to install the game via tcadmin.
