Hi Arma lovers We have been playing since the release date of the Arma 3. Our Association exemplifies the Turkish Armed Forces. Our association is preparing a simulation every Saturday with serious entertainment. Official duty Special Mission Legends We are looking for groups where we can organize joint operations. Thanks For Support! Major Spartacus Commander of the Turkish Virtual Armed Forces

my game runs at 1 fps or sometimes a i get lucky with 2 or 3 fps. i have tried a lot of things but nothing is working. specs: i7 6700HQ 2.6 GHz GTX 1060 6GB Notebook 16 GB DDR4 2400 MHz

As in title. Recent i discovered with my group and our own server (i7 6700k, so not problem here) that fps slowly takes down after couple of minutes, probably tied to units count. At start we have 50-70fps, and after a test fight (with disabled damage for us) in 15-30 minutes we all have 20-30fps, and after a while it goes down to 5-15fps! No matter if we play with mods or not. It stays at low fps even if i remove every unit on the map, disconnect from the server etc. still low fps in menu/editor, for everyone on the server. Its just arma being arma, or what the hell is going on? Its frustrating af, make me wanna unistall this game and throw the server out of the window.

Having an extremely strange problem here that I can't seem to find anything about anywhere. Been on Windows 10 build 1607 for the past 8 months after rolling back from the original creators update (audio issue), had updates disabled but Windows 10 ended up pushing the Update assistant that forced me onto 1709 (Fall Creators Update). Still had the audio issue, so I did a fresh install of the Operating system to the Fall Creators Update (1709), installed latest chipset, etc drivers from motherboard website and Nvidia driver 388.31. Tested out my games, Battlefield 4, Rainbow Six Siege and Rocket League seemed to be performing fine, may have noticed some more FPS drops in Battlefield 4, but I've honestly never really played that game on this computer. Battlefield 1 performed absolutely atrociously (but we're not here to talk about that). Tried out the regular Exile mod server that I play on (AWG Winter Altis). At first I noticed that the performance seemed to be just slightly lower than before. But after playing for a while, I noticed there was always constant frametime stuttering. There would be small spikes in the frametime that would occur every second. This made even a constant 60 FPS look like 20-30 FPS. Ex: http://s86.photobucket.com/user/Wooohah/media/Arma 3 frametime stuttering 2_zpsbll0u7gg.png.html?o=0 Tried out a different Exile server (Infinity Exile) (and here's where it gets strange), I also got a frametime stuttering issue there, but it was different and a lot worse. Only here, the frametime would be constant, then it would experience a huge spike every 30-45 seconds. Basically, buttery smooth, then a small freeze/ hitch every 30-45 seconds. Ex: (Infinity on Chernarus and Lythium) http://s86.photobucket.com/user/Wooohah/media/Arma 3 frametime spikes infinity_zpsokjwd1bx.png.html?sort=3&o=2 I got similar results on another server (Premium Exile). Ex: http://s86.photobucket.com/user/Wooohah/media/Framerate Chernarus_zpsn7vvefsi.png.html?sort=3&o=1 Then, as you can see here, here is the FPS for Chernarus, even if the Frame rate is fine, there is still frametime spiking. http://s86.photobucket.com/user/Wooohah/media/Frametime Chernarus_zps7snsmfzx.png.html?sort=3&o=0 Then a 4th server a low population DayZ server had slightly less issues, but still experienced frametime spikes here and there. I have 1400 hours logged on Arma 3 (1300 of that being Exile) in the past 6 months. Game definitely should not be doing that, all of those servers are servers that I have played on before (two of which I have about 800 hours combined on). It seems like these issues came after the Creators Update. Things I've tried: Disabling GameDVR/ Fullscreen optimization, disabling game mode, tried 378.78 Nvidia drivers and 388.31, tried with and without Gsync/ Vsync, tried stock launch parameters as well as enabling nologs and hyperthreading. Tried drivers without Geforce Experience installed. Tried closing MSI afterburner (I only use it for monitoring and fan curve) Strangely enough, I have a Lenovo Y520 Laptop that I use for school (seriously I've gamed for maybe 30 minutes on it in total since buying it in September), and servers seem to have terrible frametime spiking issues as well. That Lenovo laptop has completely different hardware and even drivers than my desktop, so I'm confused as to why its happening on two computers but I haven't heard much about it on forums, etc. Specs of my Desktop: (No OC, temperatures are fine) (Everything is at Max performance) -i7 6700k -EVGA GTX 1080 FTW -16GB Gskill TridentZ -ASUS Z170 Pro -Samsung 850 Evo SSD (OS) -Mushkin 240GB SSD (Arma 3 install) -ASUS PG279Q (1440P 144hz Gsync) -Windows 10 Pro, Ver 1709 latest updates. (Currently on Nvidia 378.78) (Tried 388.31 too) Specs of my Laptop: (No OC, temperatures are fine) -i5 7300HQ -GTX 1050ti -8GB DDR4 -128GB m.2 SSD (OS) -1TB HDD (Arma 3 install) (I'd love to run A3 on my m.2, but I don't know how to keep mods on my HDD while doing that). Would really appreciate any help anyone can provide! Going to give it a shot to try and fix this issue before just going back to 1607, since I know Windows is going to likely force me again, and I'll have to deal with it eventually.

Hello, I bought myself a Logitech G430 and reinstalled Arma 3. Everytime I go in a vehicle in first person my sounds starts to stutter, my FPS drop and finally my game freezes. I saw this bug is around since nearly a year now, but I didn't find any fix for it. The game is unplayable for me right now so I hope someone can help me out quick. Here are some related topics: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T124112

Hi, I have bought a new PC and in Arma 3 I usually get 40-50fps and decreases to 30fps. My PC settings are: GPU: MSI GTX 1080TI 11GB Mother Board: MSI x299 Pro Carbon CPU: i7 7800x (8 cores) HEAT SINK: Noctua NH-D15S RAM: 32GB HARD DRIVE: Samsung 960 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD PCI-e 512GB Is it normal to have these FPS in Arma with this PC settings? I read Arma 3 used more CPU than GPU. I have also read that for games its better a cpu with 4 cores and more latency (like 7700K) than my 7800x. How can I get more fps or more stability in the game? Is anything wrong? (CPU ~40-50ºC in game) HELP PLEASE! Thanks!

Hola Gents, I wrote this guide about 3 years ago, but since have moved it to a blog site that is dedicated to providing the best quality content on the market. (shameless self-promotion) This guide is to help teams get better at communicating with each other and develop good communication habits. There are many other blog posts all based on items and strategies that I learned while playing Arma 3. I hope you enjoy them all. They apply to pretty much any FPS game out there and it is good tools to put in your team's toolbox. Hope you enjoy them. TwistedxVs www.fpsgamers.co

Hello everyone. I want to ask a question on the well-known problem. On our server we have a problem between count of people and server FPS. When we have low people (10-20) we have good fps 40-65 stable, when we have a lot people, more then 30 (limit of server 100 people) we have 25 fps and lower... At all situations we have much AI. Our map is very big and all ai scattered enough. And we don't know how to use all resources of our specs (Intel Xeon E5-2660v3 - 6 vCPU- 2.6 ГГц-24 GB (DDR-4 ECC)-80 GB SSD RAID-1 and virtualisation VMWare ESXi) , of course we have 64 bit server arma 3. And why only about 50% of all resources are used, i don't know??? At start of server we use simple commands of course (-loadMissionToMemory -nologs -port=2302 -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi_x64 -name=deepzone "-mod=@deep zone" -autoInit -enableHT -maxMem=24576 -serverMod=@inidbi2;@obfusqf;) So may someone give advice what to do?

One of the reasons i bought a new PC was arma 3, now i have a different better new Gaming PC but i get some deja vu FPS drop spikes like nothing, the problem is my friend with normal setup can play and record the game at the same time with stable FPS. My specs: CPU : I5-7400 @ 3.00 GHz (4 CPUs) RAM : 8192MB GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 / 8GB total Memory Windows 10 64bit When i record other games with nvidia shadow play replay feature i feel no different at all, but on arma it dropes from 41 FPS to 29 instantly and outside of cities (on Altis Life Mode) even tho recording is off i still get freezing 1 FPS for 4 secondes when getting near a town, could it be my settings is something wrong ? should i let go of Arma 3 ?

Recently, I've been optimizing my arma 3 and have got it to be a steady 50 fps when playing everything except Tanoa. I have been noticing an unfixable issue where the game will stutter when it seems to be loading buildings quickly, such as when driving in a car through a city, or when zooming in through plus on the numpad. It also does it when I start being shot at for some reason. The only fix I have found was to buy an SSD and run arma 3 on it, but I REALLY don't wanna drop $100 on one after just buying an external hard drive to load stuff on. Does anybody know any fixes for this or can Bohemia themselves optimize their game to make it use less of the hard drive to save space for loading things without stuttering. Any help is appreciated!

I've been tinkering with A3 performance for a while now and I'm led to the conclusion that I have a rather severe HDD bottleneck, running YAAB I get ~15 fps no matter if I'm on low or ultra preset and my CPU and GPU usage are around 50%, that is single core usage for the CPU, and resource monitor tells me there's massive read activity going on on my HDD, prior to the 64 bit patch my RAM usage was around 95% and after the patch it remains around 95% with no change in performance, the only difference is that now arma itself is using the RAM instead of the windows prefetch service. This is a rather annoying issue, while I get pretty good frames in short missions long or large missions eventually grind to a slowdown, are there any steps I could take to reduce HDD read activity? An SSD would be an obvious solution and I will probably buy one somewhere in the future. Specs: Phenom II 960T @ 3.8GHZ GTX 660 8GB RAM

Bought the game a while back and have been playing it on and off a bit, but the FPS frequently drops to a range of 10 - 20 when playing online. It was originally only ~15, but after searching for some fixes online I've managed to get it to ~20. Does anyone have tips? I've turned graphics settings low, and did the recommended editing of the Arma3.cfg file. Specs are as follows: Intel i7-6700k CPU @ 4.00 Ghz 16 GB RAM GTX 1080 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So a mod locked down my other thread because "there are already threads that talk about performance." So here I am saying the EXACT same thing hoping to actually get some help this time. And to the mod that locked my thread, why would I be posting a new thread if I didn't look at the others? Common sense people. Common sense. So here is the stats of my computer: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/4552703 For some reason, even at all the lowest settings, I can barely get 30 FPS. Can anyone figure out why this is happening?

hi guys! following the suggestions of great teachers around here, i did my best to search google, this forum and other forums, and got pretty far for a noob like me. now sadly i'm at a dead end, and really dont understand where point my next step....here's the details: i'm trying to get an FPS display on screen, so everyone can know in every moment if its the server or theyr PC slowing down (or if everything is fine!) dont want to use hint space, already needed for mission infos. reverse-engineered an old work of Xeno (he edited a domination for me some time ago, and allowed me to edit it, sadly now are months that i dont see him online), and got useful infos here and there in topics like this one: ...i think to be at more than 50%, having it work for client FPS, but i cant understand how a " _this " in the original script could have worked, since it should be local to script, and at what it was referring to! (anyway was working on original mission). here is all the thing i have put togheter: a script named Dfps.sqf a file named Define.hpp than i have a file called RcsTitles.hpp as i saied, it works perfectly for client FPS, but returns an error about Dfps.sqf on line 10, about the " _this " not being recognized. ....in my very limited knowledge, is clear that "_this " is actually not referring to anything, but cant understand how it could have worked or with what i should replace it! really thanks for any help! EDIT: forgot to say i added to description.ext #include "define.hpp" class RscTitles { #include "RscTitles.hpp" };

At Argo ive got very low FPS ( 33) and i dont know why... ive got a gaming pc with all ne updates.. at games like GTA 5 or BF1 i dont got this problem.. what can i do to fix the problem?

I have created various large objects for a Mod I am developing, they work fine, collision, roadway. The issue is, when someone is injured or killed in the presence of my custom buildings, the have MASSIVE FPS drops and even crashing. Is this something to do with Distance LODS? The complexity of the object? Edit * [SOLVED] Issue was with RoadWay LOD having far too many polygons, will have to adjust and lower the polygon count.

I think it has been 4 Years since release and still on the most servers you get like EVERYTHING under 60 FPS in towns? I have a good setup and always had the most recent CPU/GPU in the last 4 Years and the FPS was always the same... So are you ever going to Optimize the game?

I have a i7 6700k clocked a 4.4ghz, 8gb of ddr4 (2400mhz) and a ASUS 1070 oc edition card. I've tried running the game at the "Standard" pre-set and the "Ultra" pre-set, i get on average 30-40fps. Please help me figure out why im getting such low frames on what i think is a beast pc. Thanks!

Hello. Since last week (nothing was changed on system or arma 3, no viruses downloaded and etc...) I have fps dropdown in arma 3. This happens everywhere no matter what Im doing. In editor for example: for goes down to 25-33 for sometime and then goes back to normal state (50-70 and more). While this dropdown happens, you can't really even scroll the map in editor, because the game slips somehow. if you aim, it looks like the mouse responds with a delay of milliseconds. No mods enabled. The only 1 thing I done was: cleared the Arma 3 folder in %appdata%\Local Here is the last .rpt:

Hey, as the title suggests, I have performance problems in Arma2 OA. When I play on a local server alone, I get around 40 - 70 FPS with maxed out settings (without Postprocessing). But when I go and play on an server with ~50 people online, my FPS drop with the same settings to 20. Another point is that when I have texture detail higher than normal, everything flickers like hell! My rig consists of: AMD FX-6300 (Bottlenecked like hell, I know) Nvidia GTX 1080 8GB(!) 10 gigs of RAM Arma2 runs on a pretty fast and modern HDD (I forgot the name) Any obvious reason for the performance problems? I don't have those problems in Arma 3 or other games! ~David

Hi.I need some tips to improve the fps.Specs i5 2500k oc to 4.2mhz and gtx 1060 6gb , 10gb ram . Playing on a wasteland server with autodetect settings which makes them high and ultra ,i get around 45 50 and some area maybe lower.If i set everything on low it barely changes the fps.Any tips?

hi all, after the jet dlc update, i noticed a way longer loading times to join a mission, or editor, and games freezes at some times (apparently random), and (in Altis) sometimes fall from a steady 38-40 fps to 1-5 fps, alt+tab the game sometimes solves the issues, sometimes not, can't understand whats wrong! please help, it become unplayable, even on empty stratis it can suddenly go from 50+ fps to 1-5 fps for no apparent reason !! plz help !

Hello, I recently started playing the Exile mod for Arma 3. I was having no issues and getting around 60-70 fps in game. After the recent update I am only getting around 20 fps in game. I haven't changed any settings so I assume that it was because of the update. I was told by the admins of the server that it was something to do with the recent update and that there would be a fix released for it soon. I was wondering if anyone had anymore information on the problem and if there is or will be a fix? Im running the game on windows 10. Thanks for any help,
