- Short video showing the steps required to setup an Arma Reforger Dedicated Server. I've seen lots of people having trouble setting up the Arma Reforger Dedicated server so thought I would create a quick video which you can follow to set up your own Arma Reforger Dedicated Server.

man round of applause the only video with straight to the point but very informative info, finally got people outside my region to connect to the server!!!! bloody splendid
Glad I could help bro!
Mate you are the FIRST person to actually explain that you need to have the internal IP address set up as well. Thats been causing me so many issues trying to set this thing up and literally no one has explained that in a simple manner.
Thank you so much.
Glad I could help! Most people are saying to have your external IP twice or leave the internal IP field blank, which in my case i found was totally wrong. Once you've got both in it runs like a dream!
This worked for me, thanks for that play by play. I was getting somewhat confuesed with the config file.
Glad I could help, the config file is the most confusing part
can you make a updated version please
That's not a bad idea, I made this video almost on day 1 of reforger coming out. I'll see what I can do
Why dosn't this work now? I just get told that there are issues with the config.
If your config is correct, are your firewall settings right?
I wouldn't be surprised that the weirdness around setting up a server is now resolved - Next time I spin up a server I'll document it
I liked your explanation!
Is there any way to host the server on the same machine as the player?
Thanks! At the moment not really in an easy way, you can certainly host on a separate machine on the same network, providing it's in your routers DMZ. You could run it virtually and host the DMZ in a virtual network, but that's a lot of effort!
Thanks!
Everything is working but players cant join my server
Did you open the firewall ports required in the wiki?
@@slughead All sorted ! your tutorial is the best one there i just left some parts of the config.json blank ! Also it seems i had trouble with port forwarding strange thing occurs netstat detects the ports open but every port checker says they are closed but now all friends can join !
@@ledybledybos340 Glad I could help out! Port forwarding is done differently on almost every home router, that's why I said I wouldn't go into it haha :)

I'm getting this, what am I doing wrong? please and thank you.
Did you make a mistake in the JSON? Double check that the IP addresses are correct and your JSON is valid, there's lots of online validators
I JUST GET BLACK SCREEN AND FAILED TO LOAD MODS
Are you sure you've copied my template file from the description?
@@slughead yes doesnt show the picture loading screen and then fails
Does this work on xbox
You'll still need to host a dedi on a PC/Server.
