Re: Arma 3 unmanaged setup
Are you using the SteamCMD tool to install the server (full Arma 3 installation), or are you using the standalone dedicated server files? Are all the BattlEye files in place?
Re: Arma 3 unmanaged setup
I followed this link
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arm ... xample.cmd
The only thing i changed creating this bat file was SET STEAMLOGIN=mylogin mypassword with my own steam login.Also in the bat file i changed SET A3serverPath=C:\A3server\ to SET A3serverPath=C:\Games\ArmA3\A3Master
I created a shortcut (arma3server.exe) and set the target line to C:\Games\Arma3\A3Master" -port=2302 -config=CONFIG_Vanilla.cfg -world=empty
So i had the same issue ,so i tried another method using steamCMD and added
to overite the files
Same problem.

Re: Arma 3 unmanaged setup
The appID 233780 refers to the standalone dedicated server, which is still a bit problematic (think there are missing keys according to the feedbacktracker...). Best is to use the client install with the appID 107410.
Try to delete all the previous files and start clean with the appID = 107410 using the steamCMD tool. You can also use the arma3launcher.exe to start the dedicated server if you want to. Then try to disable BattlEye and check if the server starts successfully.

Re: Arma 3 unmanaged setup
Good to hear that it works without any problems now.
If you are using the arma3launcher.exe, you can add the mods by adding the folders via the mod field in the interface. Point and click to the target folder.
You can also create a shortcut on your Desktop pointing to the arma3server.exe and then edit the created shortcut in the target field with the -mod=@mod1;@mod2;... command, where you add the mods you want to start the server with by pointing to their folders.
You can also define the -mod= parameter in a parameter file, which I usually prefer, as it offers one place to store your server configuration in a neat, ordered manner.

How did you fix the directx problem? I have the same issue on 2k12 dedi .
Re: Arma 3 unmanaged setup
Cant remember but that missing dll file is part of directx.
You need to install directx for your server,Goto windows update and update your server,should fix the problem

Re: Arma 3 unmanaged setup
Don't nail me on this, but I think this library is part of DirectX 2010 package. You can find it in your Arma 3 installation folder under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\_CommonRedist
Or wherever you installed Arma 3 to.
