ICE_PIC_JAPAN 7 Posted June 8, 2021 Hi all! I have an experience my game is laggy because I placed many objects on the map like this pictures. many objects So, I've been thinking I have to make my own maps, terrain. But when it comes to it, I know nothing. I only know the name of some tools, like arma 3 tools, bulldozer... I tried to install arma 3 tools, referring to the following link. Arma 3: Tools Installation I think I could install it. my arma3 tools.exe is in D/steamlibrary/steamapps/common/arma3 tools. Buldozer Manual bulldozer what does "populate by work drive" mean and couldnt make P drive. When I look at my computer folder, there was no P drive. Plz tell me how to make P drive and can I edit the map I made with eden editor (see the link many objects above)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoF 241 Posted June 9, 2021 Turn OFF auto mount in arma tools Your P drive says 12gb free as you are using a folder on your C drive. The P drive is a fake drive You need to make the P drive folder on your D or G drive, as it has more free space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
