Doesn't startup with parameters by shortcuts
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When I add parameters to my ArmA 3 Shortcut on the desktop and i start the .exe i can see just the name like @mod" but they won't work.

I'll post some screenshots

Mod Directory - C:\Users\<User>\Desktop\MOD ARMA

What I write on parameters - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe" -mod="C:\Users\<User>\Desktop\MOD ARMA\@agm";"C:\Users\<User>\Desktop\MOD ARMA\@cba_a3" {F26223} {F26224} {F26225}

Hello,
try to change mod parameter quotes as following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe" "-mod=C:\Users\<User>\Desktop\MOD ARMA\@agm;C:\Users\<User>\Desktop\MOD ARMA\@cba_a3"

(put the entire mod parameter into a single quotes pair)

Hi Wizard,
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe" -mod="C:\Users\<User>\Desktop\MOD ARMA\@agm;C:\Users\<User>\Desktop\MOD ARMA\@cba_a3" works, thank you for your time.
Probably I've done a big mistake, i suggest you to add an example like this, in the ArmA 3 wiki https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Startup_Parameters (with multiple absolute mod path)

@Didotto from the page on BIKI you linked to https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Startup_Parameters#Spaces

Path >> Spaces
When your path contains spaces, you need to enclose it with quotes, like
"-profiles=c:\arma 3\profiles"

Sorry for wasting your time.
After I tested -mod="C:\path\@mod1";"C:\path\@mod2"(works on ArmA 3 Launcher) I didn't look anymore to ArmA 3 wiki.
