The Launcher

The ArmA II Launcher will set command line parameter to the executable of Armed Assault II and ArmA II Operation Arrowhead. The application will not modify any of the original files belonging to Armed Assault II or ArmA II Operation Arrowhead.

Please feel free to use this software to adjust some settings to your needs, perhaps it might be able to resolve some issue for you or accelerate starting the game etc.

I will try to test every change before posting a new version for download, but do not hesitate to contact me in case of any questions, suggestions or bugs.
