LtBlackFire 10 Posted March 17, 2017 Evening, As you know by now that 64bit is out, and i updated then launched the game with out any mods or Prams To be shocked of how low fps i get. In 32Bit i used to get about 40-50 FPS on daily bases but with 64Bit i get about 15-20 FPS LOW Settings. I Derangement the files and verified the integrate via steam and still no improvement, I Have no clue what is wrong here but if any one knows a fix or steps to take it would be appreciated My Specs: Windows 8.1 GTX 850M I7-4700HQ CPU 2.40GHz 12 GB RAM 64Bit Operating System x64-Based Processer 1TB Storage Thank you!

SonterAUS 1 Posted March 17, 2017 same issue here mate. go to C:\Users\*yourusername*\AppData\Local\Arma 3 and open up the latest Arma3_x64*blah blah blah* .RPT file see if the new version is detecting your video card. mine isn't. i have a GTX970m and it is not showing in the RPT file, its only showing the intel onboard graphics :( let me know if its doing the same for you so we can narrow things down a bit. also it is worth mentioning if you launch with 32 bit whether it runs fine or not. for me it does. so it seems like they may have skipped out on a few graphics cards for compatability Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaneToad 4 Posted March 17, 2017 Try opening NVIDIA control panel and creating a new profile in the "manage 3d settings" tab for ARMA3_X64.exe. Worked for me and I had exactly what you guys are describing. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know if you saw it but the smoke disappear running with 64 bit exe. A mission can't be "32 bit based" really. :) The latest version was even created with the 64-bit executable. And the smoke has been disappearing in many scenarios on the 64bit. I think there's a ticket for it on the tracker somewhere. Other than that, I have no idea what could be the problem here. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LtBlackFire 10 Posted March 17, 2017 I have tested all that been said here, Arma 3 64x in the control panel, updated my driver and verified the files again but nope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickeymen 324 Posted March 17, 2017 Hi All. Today I have update 1.68/ For me, the transition to the 64-bit version has excellent consequences. I noticed that the performance was better! As seems to me, the FPS has increased in the range of 10-20 frames. In the end, on average now I get within a - 75-50 FPS. Before was within a 50-35. But this numbers, if not many units in the game! Overall, the picture is more smooth and enjoyable/ my PC: Windows 7 Corporative, Intel Core i7-3930k (C2) 3.2 GHz ASUS P9X79 PRO Socket 2011, X79 16Gb (4x4Gb) 2400MHz Corsair Vengeance WDC WD2003FZEX-00Z4SAO ATA-Device ASUS GTX-670 2048Mb 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGarcia 0 Posted March 17, 2017 I have the same issues as LtBlackFire! And I have almost the same setup. I have to research a little more to solve the problem.... in the 32 bit version works way faster! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Manual add of the 64bit version and the issue is solved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xCloudy 0 Posted March 18, 2017 I have had this exact issue as I pretty much saw coming went from 40 to 50 frames on 32 bit to 15 on 64..........nothing seems to happen as its supposed to on my computer.....idk what info I should give but some of my specs are below. Note I have tried the control panel fix and the validating files and nothings worked...using this info would someone be able to guide me through the best parameters in the launcher that I should maybe be trying? I had to use JE malloc for 32 bit and it smoothed things right out for me however ive been told to not us any mem alloc for 64 bit so for this reason ive left all of my parameters default until I get answers on how I should set it up....theres not exactly a guide on this....or at least I haven't found one Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 14393) (14393.rs1_release_inmarket.170303-1614) System Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard System Model: HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC BIOS: F.43 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4510U CPU @ 2.00GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.6GHz Memory: 12288MB RAM Available OS Memory: 12218MB RAM Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family Manufacturer: Intel Corporation Chip type: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family DAC type: Internal Display Memory: 2160 MB Dedicated Memory: 112 MB Shared Memory: 2048 MB Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz) Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 840M Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce 840M DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC Device Type: Render-Only Device Display Memory: 8129 MB Dedicated Memory: 2020 MB Shared Memory: 6109 MB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
