Leaving my guide up for posterity sake, but user Réyole has a better planned out guide, whereas mine was put out as a quit and easy fix. Thanks for rating my guide while you were here, but show some love to the homie too

By default, Arma Reforger downloads mods to your Documents folder on your C: drive, following this path: Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\addons


I have a small C drive, only 120 gigs, and most of it is taken up by important programs. I sought a fix, but found that just like every other thing on the internet the only people explaining how to do something leave out key details that one can only know by having the 'tism, so I wrote this short guide to help you out.


1. Create a folder called addons on your perferred drive. for this guide, I've done so on the D drive.
2. Right Click Arma Reforger
3. Properties
4. Under "Launch Options" add the following

-addonDownloadDir D:\addons -addonsDir D:\addons

Thats literally it. If you already have those files on your C: drive, all you have to do to avoid redownloading is copy the files to the new addon folder you made in step one, then clear that folder out on your C: drive

ikr? I even read over these comments with my therapist buddy and he was like "this guy is retarded"

The dude is 80 y/old, can't type command in cmd or locate the path of a folder in his computer, then he goes cry on the simplest guide in the world which is well rated.

If following instructions or going to steam Launch Options is too complicated, simply leave the computer lol.

Glad i didn't answer him in my guide, it would't have led anywhere.

you're the one crying on a working guide saying it doesnt work, when it quite literally does. You have a better solution? Make your own fucking guide. You cry about value? Where is your value? All you are to me a green bell icon on my steam client


I have personally tested the steps of this guide with many different people and have had zero issues, thats even true for the last month as my community has dipped back into playing arma and i personally helped all of them set up their launch options for arma.

You QUITE LITERALLY are not following the directions outlined.

Again, if you have a better method of doing this, go write your own guide.

why are you being like this, acting with the sense and emotional maturity of 6 year old spoiled girl. what does that get you. ou just have to not hold any conversation and respond when uou dont want to try to discuss anything. you literally could have said nothing and afdded more value and time

youre too old to do something yourself then if age is that important to you. What are you 80?
Quarren King of Q 19 Sep @ 1:02pm 
lol are you too young for this kind of thoughtful discussion
Ben'wah  [author] 19 Sep @ 12:31pm 
You're not my dad, you're not my squad leader. I don't have to do anything. Instructions for the guide work for me, and I have no intention on changing them because you told me to. If you think you have a better way, simply go make your own guide. In the amount of lines of text you've wrote bitching about my guide you couldve simply wrote your own.

So go write your own.

i would expect more from someone to be so inclined as to explore things of this nature. atleast express some good faith discussion lol
Quarren King of Q 19 Sep @ 6:57am 
i was trying to ask ya decided to try to insult someone with a trivial waste of time. im not the only one that noticed this issue. and i have tested it on others as well. atleast 4 people directly and 2 indirectly have tried adding exactly in the launch bar as described with the same issues.

4. Under "Launch Options" add the following

-addonDownloadDir D:\addons -addonsDir D:\addons

i was planning to ask you if you tried just one instead of both as that would be a possiblility of mix up for those that i have seen this with. but bad faith intention and acting just cant help but flare up anoying pedantry, so waste someones time they may just waste yours

Go make your own guide then
