However, setting up an HC is notoriously finicky. The most infamous roadblock? The error.
arma3_x64.exe -client -connect=YOUR_SERVER_IP -port=2302 -password=YOUR_PASSWORD -mod=@yourMods; -nosplash -skipIntro If your main server runs BattleEye (it should), the HC must authenticate through it. Add this: arma 3 headless client steam authentication failed hot
enableHC = 1; headlessClients[] = "127.0.0.1"; // Or your HC IP localClient[] = "127.0.0.1"; However, setting up an HC is notoriously finicky
If you see this red text scrolling in your HC console or server RPT logs, your HC is being rejected by the Steam backend. It cannot connect, and your server will lag. headlessClients[] = "127.0.0.1"
Now go optimize that AI load – your server FPS will thank you.
