    Are you OCd? I have the fx 8120, 1gb video card, 16 gb ram. No SSD

    Performance issues and solutions have been highly debated, and seems everyone has different results

    However since our setups are similar I'll share my info

    I have extensively tested every possible performance option just trying to get max potential from my rig

    My best results(and consistent) were when I overclocked my cpu up to 4.0 ghz and beyond. For me this yielded major performance advancements

    Have also OCd my video card to 1.1 GHz

    I am very happy with A3 gameplay performance, and A2 is even better with these settings

    I am no computer expert, just sharing my experience with amd fx cpu

    Also what performance options do you use?

    Thanks for the replies! I haven't done any OCing but each core in 4 ghz and I have a good SSD and a decent vid card and RAM but for instance, in Arma 2 when I host a MSO over LAN (even jsut by myself) whenever Im in a mid sized village and enemies spawn my FPS goes down to 15-20 and even more in larger towns. I have process lasso and have tried all of the tweaks and alterations but they havent helped unfortunately. I really dont want to buy another CPU but if Arma 3 is going to be anything like Arma 2 they won't optimize it. WHen I play ALIVE missions in Arma 3 I also see massive FPS drops

    So Im getting pretty frustrated with the AMD FX 8350 I bought 6 months ago and the performance on Arma 2 and Arma 3 (MSO and ALIVE) and Im looking on ways to increase my FPS. Right now my rig is

    AMD FX 8350

    Nvidia GT660

    8 GB G-Skill RAM

    2 SSDs (Corsair for OS and Samsung for games)

    Would upgrading my MOBO and CPU to an Intel make a large difference? If so what would be my best bet?

    Thanks! Just wondering what other people are experiencing

    I don't think anyones expecting 100 fps, we just want at least a stable 30 fps which I don't think is an unreasonable thing to ask. Every other game has seemed to be able to it. The evidence of an unoptimized game is changing settings has little to no effect on FPS, the game barely utilizes resources, the extremely low FPS most people experience regardless of what hardware or hardware brands they use, the fact that this thread is 321 pages long, the fact that it's been voted 2300 times on the feed back tracker (and thats just from the people who took the time to register and report feedback)

    I'll look into how to adjust civilian types for the next release. I'll also look at the script error (I think that is from COS). I should probably turn random clothing off by default too.

    As for frames, try adjusting the number of enemy groups and the group sizes in AO\Preferences.sqf. The ambush, militia and vehicle groups are the most important. You can change POI and Zone groups to zero without too much effect on gameplay. Also, I'll add some caching in a future release, and maybe replace some groups with DAC.

    I find the Takistan version has better performance than Altis, and requires less enemy groups for a good game. An early version was on Stratis, I'll update that and include it in the next release.

    @ICE_AGE0815

    Look three posts above yours.

    Thanks for your help bud! I put the POI and zone groups to 0 and it helped. A caching system or DAC would be great! or an integration of ALIVE. I was also thinking a hostage rescue mission (for blufor AI) would be awesome or a HVT to capture. Also one weird thing I notcied was during the rescue mission where one group of players spawns at the crash site, the OPFOR just stand where they spawn and don't really move in.

    Thanks!

    I have

    AMD FX 8350

    Nvidia GT 660

    8 gb G-Skill RAM

    Samsung EVO 840 SSD

    and Ive always been looking to get decent/stable FPS instead of high detail and I usually play with VD of about 1000 m and have everything turned off that can be off and most other options adjusted according to http://day0.com.au/forum/arma/638-arma-3-performance-tweaks-and-settings-guide for maximum performance but I still get medicore-poor FPS in many cases (goes down to 15-20 fps in towns especially if there are any OPFOR located in them) and my hardware is barely utilized (usually around 20-25% of CPU and 40% of GPU). Ive also taken my computer into a computer shop to make sure nothing was wrong with my hardware or software and they said everythings working perfectly, Ive also performed benchmarks so I know it's not my hardware. I think one of the biggest things is taht switching setting types (low, medium, high) has little effect on FPS. Im just saying this because I think it's unfair to group everyone who has performance issues with those who max out settings, if I could get Arma 3 to run at an even 30-40 fps but look like Arma 2 i'd be a happy camper, just my opinion

    Great layout! Thanks for adding this. I was wondering how I can switch the OPFOR faction to CAF Agressors Middle Eastern tribals? I deleted the old OPFOR group and replcaed them with the Tribals and put nul = [this] execVM "AO\Spawn\DefineEnemyMen.sqf"; in the init fields of the group leader and make a second group where I put nul = [this] execVM "AO\Spawn\DefineEnemyLeaders.sqf"; but it seems like it keeps spawning FIA resistance fighters with AKs. pkms, etc. I was also wondering how I can change the civilian faction to the middle eastern civilians from the CAF agressors mod?

    EDIT: Nm I disabled the random resistance clothing and it works now :P I am still wondering how to change the civ faction though. Im also getting an error "open addscript_unit.sqf to apply pedestrain script" when trying to say hello to civilians, how do I fix that?

    Thanks for your help!

    Be fair - the engine for watch dogs was written in 2013 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disrupt_%28game_engine%29

    There comes a point when you push a technology as far as it can go. It is unreasonable to expect an engine rewrite for a game at this stage in its development.

    The most helpful thing we can do is find out when these engine hiccups are occurring and report them.

    I do agree that it is frustrating to not really see an improvement in 1.18 and to actually get something that feels less polished than 1.16

    Yea for sure I agree, but I thought that RV4 was written in 2013 as well (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Virtuality_(game_engine)#Real_Virtuality_4)? My main point with bringing up watchdogs is that multi cores can be utilized effectively and efficiently. Also, there were plenty of 6-8 cores even before 2013 and being such a CPU intensive game you'd think that they would include better CPU core support/optimization

    yea I think people are just getting frustrated with the lack of optimization being pushed out. I know I'm kind of sick of not having my resources utilized as are others and the fact that this has been a long term issue since Arma 2 but seems to be getting ignored for things like Zeus. I know it's hard to optimize the engine but it's something thats greatly needed and just because something's hard doesn't mean it shouldn't be done, and I know it can be done (many other games have figured it out and games like watch dogs actually recommend 8 cores). Just my two cents

    Hmm Im having some issues using mods I have used before in LEA. I set it up the same way as I did before (Named, description, version numbers, mod folder, extract directory, etc) but now the same mods that used to work now only show up with a single uniform (Im talking about mas SOF pack, used to get all the uniforms but since I switched to a different SSD its not working). How do I fix this? Just a side not too I removed al the old stuff and started fresh on the new SSD. It also looks like it's missing pictures from all of the items within the addons (which it didn't before) if that helps. Also doesn;t seem to make any difference if I choose within the addon itself to extraxt to/analyze or my external hard drive (which is what I did last time and it worked)

    EDIT: I saw MAS DEVGRU in the repository and it turns out it's all the factions so I just used that instead. Im still having the same problem with the PG services PMC mod, any ideas?

    Thanks for your help!

    So Arma 3 randomly just started minimizing itself whenever I launch it. It's still responding and when I click it I can see the menu for a second then it minimizes itself again. Does anyone know how to fix this? it's super weird
