    What if the big mod teams or new mod teams popup and make Arma 4 amazing? 

     

    Worst case - we still have ARMA 2 (yes) and ARMA 3 and maybe DayZ engine to play with... As long as the game engine is moddable, ANYTHING is possible.

     

    Look at how ARMA 3 become a great milsim but modders made great mods like RHS, Cup, Cytech, Ravage and incredible cDLC?! 

     

    As long as the engine is open and has a great framework, it (eventually) can be wonderful!

    Remnant/Aradus for Reforger is something I've been thinking about. Some aspects like assets and terrain creation will be easier I reckon, plus, I can see a 'shoes wearing out' script, now that the loadout system is more detailed. ^^

    Phantoms may be tricky though...

     

    Maybe for DayZ SA since that game is more mature? or does Reforger have Enfusion Script which does not exists in DayZ SA?

    I'm still on the classic ARMA workhorse of 4790K + DDR3-2400CL10 + 1060 GTX.

     

    It works well at most online scenarios and when I review what is available to carry into the future, I am excited but also deflated when I look at today's or yesterdays pricing.

     

    I think a good budget buy is really a 5600X or 12600K with FAST DDR4 on a B series MB and call it day. Some OC must be done to get the max out of it.

     

    Or buy better like a 5800X3D with FAST RAM and good quality AIR cooler. This is one setup that really stands out in terms of HEAT output vs performance at NEAR 12900K levels in most games. Just amazing buy for the money actually with no need to worry about water cooling.

    Until Nvidia and BattleEye fix their problems, play ARMA 3 off your PC, NOT Geforce NOW.

     

    Just set your settings to STANDARD if your PC is not fast enough to increase performance at the expense of graphics quality. You can raise the TEXTURE quality to high or very high and it will be nearly the same as Ultra visually but keeping much better performance.

    You can count me out of that!  The conversion to physx alone sapped my will to mod and frankly I don't plan to convert anything yet again.

     

    There is a near complete asset migration path from RV to Enfusion to be made available, not counting upgrading any of the assets. So models, geometry, textures, sounds and maybe animations should still work as is.

     

    But developers do need to learn Enforce scripting but I am sure there will be samples to show how to do it. It does not mean there is no work to be done but we can look at the examples in DayZ SA and the related workshop to see examples now.

     

    Lastly, HOPEFULLY Reforger will be made available with asset samples as baseline so just "port" over only assets that do not exist in Enfusion/Reforger to kick start it. 

     

    I know easier said than done, but it is a start and ARMA 4 will be based on Enfusion anyways so all that new skill will go towards that game when it comes. Hopefully before many of us retire! :P

    You know that weird Geforce NOW stream gaming is actually a cloud server running ARMA and streaming the video over to your PC.

     

    BattleEye is probably detecting it is not running on its own PC, but in a software "virtual" PC as you stated and not allowing it. There is nothing BIS can do about it. You have to contact the BattleEye team to update their protection to allow running on Virtual Machines like GEFORCE NOW game streaming.

     

    I can understand if you have a FAST internet connection but relatively weak PC, but if you have a GOOD PC with FAST CPU and RAM with at least a 1060 GTX video card, you can run ARMA 3 on your own PC really well.

     

    On Sale ARMA 3 is like less than $10! Christmas sale is coming up so I recommend you consider this option.

    Hit 92.1fps, better but still far from ideal

    Try to OC your ram and LOWER the latency. I think you can increase the voltage a little then lower the latency. You should try to place a fan over the RAM because it will get hotter with more performance but ARMA eats up lower latency fast ram along with high IPC cpu.

     

    Do a search online for your RAM model and type in OC to see what settings other have used.

    opteryx: np, we are looking for poachers to hunt 😉 haha

    On more serious note, does any 3d/a3 guy know how much work is involved putting this into arma?...

    p.s. willing to pay

     

    @icebreakr I suggest you add a cheetah or pack of cheetahs as well based on my Safari trips.

     

    Also, you can try to contact Devourer King and A Small Dinosaur for animation help. He IS an animator and also made the really cool EMU (Australia only) pack for Liru

     

    Which is included his Necroplague Mutants Pack: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2616555444

     

    You might be able to ask to scale up the EMU (Australian Bird) to an 9 foot tall Ostrich (African Bird) and offer you a custom version for your terrain.

     

    This is the invite for Devourer's discord so you can contact the dev team and see if they may be able to assist you: https://discord.gg/g3aKAfu7

    My bad. I forgot about mod inheritance. Yes. CBA is required for many mods as pre-cursor mod.

     

    You can try these other mods to speed up the slowness in the game:

     

    Ladder Tweak - climb up ladders about 3x

    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1803586009

     

    Swim faster with any uniform:

    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1598735666&searchtext=swim+faster

     

    Enhance movement rework  so you can perform running jump over things instead stepping over it- make sure to download the old Enhance movement as a dependency

    https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2034363662&searchtext=enhance+movement

     

    And turn OFF stamina limitations under GAME OPTIONS so you can run all day. If you do not, you will get tired and slow down. 

     

    ARMA is a huge game and you need all the speed you can to get across the terrain to get an objective if you are being hunted by a ton of AI. 

     

    Enjoy.

    Thanks I would do that and let you know the results, I would also like to mention Im getting 15 fps on main menu and I've read about the 3-4 fps bug I hope its not that. 😞

     

    In Vanilla ARMA, I get about 90 FPS in the main menu with these settings on my old system (I7-4790K + 1060 GTX)

     

    Set graphics to Ultra

    Set the SHADOW distance to 50m or less <I have 1060 GTX that is why>

    Set Shadow QUALITY to LOW or NORMAL

    Set Vsync to OFF

     

    After you have set up your CPU and RAM settings, you should get something crazy like 100+ with your old setup. 

     

    You can adjust the SHADOW quality and distance to see how it affects you. I would max out shadow at 200m at best to keep  FPS high yet look nice. My 1060 GTX gets killed on shadows.

     

    If you want even MORE FPS

    Set the TERRAIN to LOW or STANDARD - it will basically limit all the objects

    Set the OBJECTS quality to STANDARD 

    But keep textures to ULTRA so it looks sharp

     

    I do this sometimes on Livonia or a PVPVE server such as ARMA 3 Survivor <basically a Dayz clone> as the entire game is PVP. 

     

    For coop or SP games, I set all the graphics to Ultra except for shadows quality to low and distance to 50 m or less.

     

    Lastly, if you OC or tune up your RAM, set a fan to blow air over it. My RAM is DDR2400 CL10 and I have to keep a fan on it as it gets HOT during ARMA. 

     

    ARMA eats the CPU and RAM performance all day.

    I am unsure if your RAM is Samsung B-Die or Hynix. So what you can do is download the Ryzen DRAM calculator https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ryzen-dram-calculator/ and run it to advise you some better RAM performance settings and try it to see if it works.

     

    If it does, then re-run ARMA 3 with the new RAM settings.

     

    If stable, then try to set your CPU to turbo at least one core up to 5 GHZ if possible using this guide on Ryzen Curve Optimizer:

     

    https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/amd-curve-optimizer-5800x-5100mhz.435146/

     

    Try to get your system stable at the highest speeds.

     

    It should help boost your ARMA performance tremendously.

    What kind of motherboard and RAM do you have? You need to setup your CPU to turbo at least one or two cores to the max and tune your RAM settings. 

     

    Your RAM SHOULD be set to 3733 MHZ with the lowest latency and 1:1  Infinity Fabric lock if possible. It will boost your CPU to RAM performance tremendously in ARMA and other applications.
