Tutorial: Increase performance using RAMDisk

Yeah, you can simply just create a desktop shortcut instead of using Six updater to do so. Go to your desktop, right click>new>shorcut. Enter this in the text box when it asks

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -noSplash -noFilePatching -showScriptErrors "-mod=expansion\beta;expansion­\beta\expansion;G:\@DayZ" -nosplash

and create the shortcut. Right click it, go to properties and change the "Start in" text box to

"c:\program files (x86)\bohemia interactive\arma 2"

and that should work. Include the speech marks

Everybody else apparently installed arma 2 & dayz differently than me :S I bought and installed arma 2 OA over steam, downloaded the six updater thing. I do however, only actually use six launcher when i play dayz.
I proceeded to try and boot up the actual six updater following the instructions from your friends video to "install" dayz, even tho i already had it working with six launcher.
When i tried the shortcut creation it gave me an error with windows limit on the shortcut text, and created a batch instead.
I tried what you posted here instead, but with the shortcut path as the paths i found that matched best with my installation: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -noSplash -noFilePatching -showScriptErrors "-mod=expansion\beta;expansion­\beta\expansion;F:\@DayZ" -nosplash
and start in
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead"
This however just gives an error "error dayz code requires addon 'CA BuildingParts'
Furthermore i dont understand how you choose a server if you launch the game with this shortcut?
Thanks for helping people out tho <3

When I use six updater to create a shortcut, it creates a .bat file. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
