Description

when i tried to launch arma 3 through PWS like normal (at this point i did not know about the launcher being mandatory today) it launched up the arma 3 launcher so i got confused because it normally just loads up the game and im away....

so i click play on the bottom of the screen and it loads arma 3..

with the game loaded i noticed that none of my modifications are active...
so i quit the game a tried again. same thing occured.

so i spoke to a fellow developer on Skype and he said try "-nolauncher"
this worked 50%... it did indeed stop the launcher from starting BUT still none of my mods were active.

can anyone help? what info do you need?

Same problem here

Hello,

from what we can tell, this can be solved by going to the Game settings of Arma 3 in the Play withSix and unchecking the option "(Legacy) Launch with Steam Launcher".

Please give it a try and let us know if it helps.

Adding a -noLauncher parameter won't be of any help in this case; as we find out today, Play withSix doesn't pass the parameter to the Launcher.

I will try this and get back to you.

Many thanks
Tyler

ok that has resolved the issue.

i dont know why i didnt look at the game settings sooner...

may be worth mentioning it in a sitrep to all PWS users or maybe a twitter post or something

Hello Tyler,

thank you very much for the confirmation, I'll post this in the BI Community forum and tweet about it.

It worked yay , many thanks

I don't play with "playwithsix". once I downloaded it, check the setting menu, "(Legacy)" was already unchecked. .... I some please give me reliable information.
