Most Arma Reforger server behaviour is controlled by server_config.json. Use the Config Editor for common values, and use Text Editor only when you need to edit JSON fields that are not exposed in the form.

  1. Open your Arma Reforger server in the control panel.
  2. Click Configuration Files.
  3. Open server_config.json with Config Editor for normal changes.

  4. For advanced JSON changes, open server_config.json with Text Editor.

SettingWhat it controls
game.nameThe name shown in the server browser.
game.passwordPassword required to join the server.
game.passwordAdminPassword used for admin access.
game.scenarioIdThe mission/scenario the server loads.
game.maxPlayersMaximum players allowed on the server.
game.visibleWhether the server should appear in the browser.
game.crossPlatformWhether crossplay is enabled for supported platforms.
game.supportedPlatformsWhich platforms can join, such as PC and Xbox.
game.gamePropertiesGameplay options such as third person, view distance, grass distance, BattlEye, and voice settings.

JSON is strict. Missing commas, extra commas, or broken quotes can stop the server from starting. Take a backup before editing advanced values.
