Go full PvP with zero bots getting in the way. Disable AI and push your server resources where it matters: players. Cleaner fights, fewer surprises, better stability.
server.json file via the file managerserver.json file at the server’s config root. If you see multiple JSON files, pick the one containing keys like name, bindAddress, or game. You’ll see JSON content between braces { }.
operating block if missingserver.json, search for a line starting with "operating":. If it’s not there, add it just before the final closing brace }. Minimal line to paste (add a comma before if needed): "operating": { }. If you append it after another key, add a comma first, e.g., , "operating": { }.
operating braces, add this line exactly: "disableAI": true. The result should be: "operating": { "disableAI": true }. If the operating block already has options, mind commas (e.g., "disableAI": true, if not last). A trailing comma at the end of a block will break JSON.

"game": "Arma Reforger",

}. Use straight quotes ", quote every key, and never leave a trailing comma after the last entry in a block. If you see a parse error on boot, it’s almost always a comma or brace issue.
server.json and fix commas/braces. Once running, the "disableAI": true flag is in effect.
– Always back up server.json before editing so you can roll back fast.
– Pair "disableAI": true with a purely PvP mission to prevent script-driven AI spawns.
– After server updates or mission changes, re-check that the operating block persists (some templates overwrite configs).
– Still laggy? Trim mission systems and dynamic objects that aren’t needed for PvP.
Open the console and read the first error. If it says “JSON parse error,” fix server.json: no trailing commas, use straight quotes ", and close all braces. Compare with the sample above, save, and restart.
server.json file?In the Oxygenserv panel, go to “Files” then “Config Files” or the file manager at the server root. The file is named server.json. If it’s missing, confirm you’re on the Arma Reforger instance.
Some scenarios/workshop content spawn entities via scripts. Test without mods and with a clean PvP mission. If that fixes it, keep "disableAI": true and swap the mission or tweak the mod.
No, this is a config-level option. Edit "disableAI": true or false in server.json, save, and restart the server to apply.
You’re set for clean, bot-free PvP. Need a quick reset? Come back to this checklist and tweak your config in minutes.
