Bad Multiplayer FPS (SOLVED)

[IBeDesh]

Probably been around 1231231 posts about this but I tried looking at them and none of them gave good answers apart from 'Lower your settings'.

any better tips out there?

Play single player on 50-70fps

Multiplayer 5-20fps.....

I've gone through tones of servers, played with setting and i've got good internet and still it's absolutely **** FPS

Try breaking Point mod.
Most of the bad/low fps is crapy servers and the coding of the game mode.

There isn't much more to it than lower you settings. If you have 50-70 frames in singleplayer, than your problem is connection to these servers. Here is what I can think up for you:

- Check to see if you have a solid Internet connection. If not, upgrade.
- Join servers with a decent ping. This means don't join poorly optimized, or far away servers.
- Make sure you don't have a memory leak when running a mp mission. Bohemia kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up with the whole 32 bit thing, so watch your memory issues.
-Lower things like PIP to reduce stress on your system.

Right click on arma 3 in the steam library and click properties then click launch options. Now copy and paste this in.

-high -exthreads 7 -maxMem=<4094> -cpuCount=<4> -nologs -nosplash

Change cpucount to how many cpu cores you have.

I think the biggest factor to how high or low your fps is in multiplayer is ping, like wolfy suggested you should join low ping servers. lower ping = higher fps / higher ping = lower fps.


You can also use a program called game booster that was bought by razor, it closes all applications you don't need and gives your computer a bit of a performance boost.

Tried every one of the start up parameters then bench-test
The result was: placebo's

Here's a guide that made a difference for me: http://day0.com.au/forum/arma/638-arma-3-performance-tweaks-and-settings-guide

Especially the part about memory allocation, page file, vsync and GPU FramesAhead.

BTW: there is no such thing as "-high" parameter in the game, it does nothing. If you really want to change the priority of the process use a tool like Process Lasso.

The bad FPS was what appears to be BE conflicting with antivirus, I uninstalled the anti-virus, disabled the Firewall and that fixed the problem, was running at 7-15FPS and now it's 30+.

thanks for all the comments.

You're prob joining ♥♥♥♥ servers, try my server. People report 60-120fps on it.

Here's my copy/paste I give players: Try us out on BECTI Warfare Seattle, WA www.ofps.net. Buttery smooth PUBLIC server with typical #'s between 20-40 people playing in the afternoon (PST, MST, CST, EST) and most players are in the USA with others being in Australia, Europe, Japan, China. It's a Team VS Team environment with AI also in the mix to make it interesting. We have an army of admins to keep it civil and a mission dev team to iron out bugs as they're reported. I've worked hard to make it one of the BEST public servers out there. Also, the guys communicate quite a bit via text/voice so be ready for that. Hope to see you on there! Here's a video to demo the mission: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvrfBM8Wd5g
