How to Reinstall Your Arma Reforger Server

Published June 9, 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Reinstalling resets your Arma Reforger server to its default state, all server files are deleted and a fresh copy is downloaded and installed. This is useful when your server is in an unrecoverable state.

Before you start, back up any files you want to keep. See the backups guide for instructions.

Warning: All server files will be deleted (except backups). Download any files you do not want to lose before proceeding.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Game Control Panel.
  2. Stop your server.
  3. Click the More button.
  4. Click Reinstall.
  5. Click the Reinstall button. Keep the Default values option selected.
    The More button in the game panel
    The Reinstall option in the game panel
    Reinstall confirmation dialog with Default values selected

Once started, the process deletes all files, downloads a new copy of the game server files, and installs a default server setup.

Note: This may take several minutes depending on the size of the game files. Wait for the process to complete before starting your server.
