How do i get the game to lag less?

[MrPanthouse]

Everytime i move my camera it has some sort of lag is there away to reduce it. if i let the game auto detect my settings it sets it to ultra high but if i lower that i still got lag so??

How much RAM do you have? You need at least 16 GiB to play Arma 3. What specs does your machine have?

[palm beach]

you poor, poor fool

[Shenji]

System specs?
SP or MP?
If SP, which mission/map? If MP, which server?
Playing with mod(s) or vanilla?

Generally turn off shadow, set less view distance(<1500m), turn off visual effects, may help to reduce display lag/stuttering.

Yes i got that.

I got these which should be twice as good as recomended:

GPU GTX1660 super 6GB
CPU Ryzen 5 2600
Ram 16GB
board B450 ds3h

Im playing a singleplayer game not sure what the name was but i had to fly with a chopper to a mountain top jump out and drive a truck. and had to look out for goats. then we had some. (but all maps have it so)

And yes i currently have mods but without them i got the same result so.

But to go over what happens, Well everytime i move a couple of meters it has a lag spike when i turn my camera it has a lag spike wqhen i drive a truck a couple of meters i got lag. so bassically continue lag. even on the low settings. But its weird that i can play Cod Cold war and BF1 with out problems which are in my opinion heavier games due to the graphics and 100Gb each.

Also i see a lot of people have this lag problems but yeah its a bit sad ive spend 5 hours trying to get it to work so a refund aint possible anymore. Not that i want that i just want it to work propperly but ive i cant get it to work its just money waste.

Are you running the game from a harddisk or SSD? What's the view-distance setting?

Turn your graphics on low? When i used to play on a 1080 gpu the game lagged alot, right now im using a 2080 super and the fps is around 50 or so

[Machiavelli]

wait for arma 4. all attempts to make arma 3 smooth end in failure and frustration.

[Isthatyoudave?]

You can't get it smooth if you monitor the frametime you will see a spike every minute exactly that causes the frametime to go to around 30 ms and there will be a stutter.

You can somewhat hide this by limiting your fps to around 40 and you wont notice this ingame but when you look at the graphs of the monitoring you still see the spikes.

Its crazy what is this game doing every minute? can the devs look into this please.

Arma III needs SSD to run properly. The difference between HDD and SSD is like a night and day on Arma III – it is impossible to get smooth framerates without one.

The other two things to consider are single core performance (Intel has an edge) and RAM speed. However, your setup should be powerful enough to run single-player missions just fine.

yeah i changed the distance to a lower 1 and still had it. it was 3800 and i changed it to 1000 so.

yeah i got 1 m2 ssd of 500Gb but thats for like important things i got my games on a hdd so i guess thats the problem ill still look for a SSD of 1TB that is less pricey.

so get a better PC

[Oh crap, it's him!]

Unlock serverfps (-limitfps=1000 for server startup parameter) if you play on a dedicated server. Also set the MinBandwidth and MaxBandwidth accordingly. Finally set MaxMsgSend to 256. This is done in the basic.cfg.

Usually on sale every few weeks for around 50 to 60 Euro.
