How to Run Combat Arms directly

[queenslash]

Hello MPGH users today I will be showing you lazy peoples how to run CA from your desktop in 4 simple steps

1. Locate your Combat Arms shortcut.
2. Right click, and hit "Properties"
3. Go to Shortcut then locate your "Target's" Box text and highlight it
4. Change "C:\Nexon\Combat Arms\CombatArms.exe" to "C:\Nexon\Combat Arms\CombatArms_Direct.exe"

Thank me if this saved you the trouble of going to the website and starting CA

I prefer to use engine.exe directly, that way I don't have to DL ads and click the start button that pops up. But of course you need to add a whole lot more than just where it is to the shortcut if you want it to work.

When I run CombatArms_Direct.exe I get:


Which involves clicking start, waiting for it to load, and then manually login.

Where as I have a shortcut to engine.exe that boots into the game and logs in for me. It should be very similar (if not the same) shortcut as what gets called from the web launcher.

CombatArms_Direct.exe is basically starts up Engine.exe
Engine.exe is the whole game.

strange because when I start engine.exe, it boots up but doesn't go to loading page and nothing happens o.O

That is because engine.exe needs arguments (like rez files and server ip) to know where to look for things.

Here are some of the things that can be passed as arguments (Note: that these are NOT the argument names):

• Rez Files
• Server IP
• Server Port
• Room
• Version
• Title
• User
• Password
• ...

But it doesn't work
