Aniallator 164 Posted March 25, 2017 Just finished updating A3 and tried to start it up with the mods I normally use. It loaded to the main screen then froze there, and I had to use task manager to close it. Tried starting it again but without mods, and this worked fine until I realized I was getting 11 FPS in the main screen. Loaded up Tanoa and placed a unit, and what do you know, 1-2 FPS. Already tried verifying files, will do a full disk defrag shortly. WTF? Anyone else getting this? I would have thought moving up to 64 bit would increase performance? Completely and utterly unplayable... I mean no shit right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savage_Donkey 243 Posted March 25, 2017 Are you sure that the game is detecting your graphics card? I know some other people had problems with the game selecting integrated graphics for whatever reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beno_83au 1362 Posted March 25, 2017 Have you run it as 32-bit in the mean time? I've had nothing but positives come from running it as 64-bit, but i had a mate say his game became pretty unstable and switching back to 32-bit worked out for him. Not ideal to not be able to use 64-bit but it's kept him going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, from the A3 root folder I've been able to open A3 with the arma3.exe instead of the arma3_x64.exe and the game appears to run normally, the only problem is that that means A3 is opened without the launcher, so it's completely vanilla and I can't select any mods. How do I run it in 32-bit from the launcher? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moon_chilD 200 Posted March 25, 2017 A buddy of mine had hugh FPS and Visual problems when using CPUCount and ExThreads with the 64bit version. Maybe it helps to deactivate these for you?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reggaeman007jah 31 Posted March 25, 2017 Do you have an Nvidia card? If so, have you gone into your Nvidia control panel and set the high performance processor to default for the 64bit ARMA instance? Sorry if that is a stupid question, but that's what I did to fix the 1-2fps issue I had.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beno_83au 1362 Posted March 25, 2017 One of the parameters in the launcher allows you to choose between 32/64 to make it easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I opened the NVIDIA control panel and made sure A3 was using the high-performance processor, and it was. What didn't occur to me is that this was arma3.exe that I was looking at, not arma3_64x.exe. Just checked the control panel, added arma3_64x.exe as a program, and sure enough it's using integrated graphics. Thank you and everyone else for your help! /resolved 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
