There’s a major new expansion launching next Monday, April 29th, bringing the military sim back to its Cold War roots. Impressively large as it looks, Global Mobilization isn’t by Bohemia Interactive, but the first release from their “Creator DLC” commercial mod program and produced by small team Vertexmacht. Mods going commercial isn’t a new concept, but it has backfired for a few studios, including to get the idea off the ground with Skyrim, and Blizzard’s for StarCraft 2. Still, Bohemia’s approach seems more structured, at least so far.Global Mobilization looks to be practically a new game built on Arma 3’s foundation. Set across 419 square kilometres of divided 1983 Germany, the developers boast fifty settlements with fully destructible buildings, and an alternate winter version of the environment with matching camo for its 42 new units. It’ll include a ten mission single-player campaign, although as with all things Arma, multiplayer (launching with 17 scenarios) and the editor will extend its life significantly. Much as I enjoyed Arma 3’s move into near-future tech, drones are fiddly, and I’m interested in seeing how ’80s gear feels again.
That, and maybe create some ‘past Vs future’ scenarios, if that’s an option.As for the Creator DLC program, it seems roughly comparable to Blizzard’s premium mods for StarCraft 2, possibly even more structured., modders cannot just pull a previously-free project from pages and turn it commercial. It needs to be an entirely new project, pitched to Bohemia and approved.
Interestingly, Bohemia’s policy is to not even announce Creator DLC until it’s nearly ready to launch. On the technical front, it’s a little different from regular Arma 3 DLC – it’ll be an optional install, as opposed to mandatory, as all official DLC has been so far.Their approach feels like an interesting mid-point between ‘modders becoming full-time devs’ and ‘modders putting some work on sale for coffee money’.
I’m personally hoping it catches on, although I’d not be too surprised if there aren’t many more releases after Global Mobilization. While their centred on the new DLC, Bohemia also mentioned that their free epilogue scenario “Old Man” for Arma 3 Apex is stuck in limbo. They’ve stated that “we’ve not yet hit our goals” for the mission, and “It’s currently yet to be decided how we want to move forward with it”.Global Mobilization launches on Monday, April 29th, and will cost £17/€20/$23. You can find it.
Let's start with basic info: setting cpuCount, exThreads or most other parameters does nothing, they are correctly recognized and set by ARMA on it's own (and exThreads overrides cpuCount anyway, so if someone says to set both then you know how much he knows about optimizing ARMA;) ). If you set them manually you are just overriding something that was set correctly anyway.In this guide I'm going to show you how to really improve performance. However don't expect miracles, in ARMA limiting factor in 99% of cases is CPU. ARMA puts 95% of work on one thread, so what you need the most to get good FPS is CPU with high IPC and high clocks.Mods also reduce performance, so if you use many mods you should disable them one by one, check which one reduces performance the most and then decide if it's really worth to use it.
In my case all mods I use are reducing performance by 20fps (!) when compared to vanilla.Important: Advice given by author in this guide were personally tested by him and are used by him.

Editing Arma3.cfg. Go to C:UsersyourusernameDocumentsArma 3. Open Arma3.cfg with text editor of your choice (I recommend notepad).
Find GPUMaxFramesAhead and set it to 1 (GPUMaxFramesAhead=1;). Find GPUDetectedFramesAhead and set it to 1 (GPUDetectedFramesAhead=1;).
Arma 3 D Day Mod
(Optional) If you have monitor with refresh rate above 60Hz set refresh to your refresh rate (for example: refresh=144;). Save changes and close fileWhy do you change these things? It will reduce input lag, it can increase performance. However fps drops will be more noticeable, but overall performance should be better. Editing.Arma3ProfileThis is optional, it's not going to improve performance, but it's recommended anyway. Go to C:UsersyourusernameDocumentsArma 3. Open yourusername.Arma3Profile with text editor of your choice (I recommend notepad).
Find mouseSmoothing and set it to 0 (mouseSmoothing=0;). Find mouseAcceleration and set it to 0 (mouseAcceleration=0;).
Find fovTop and set it to 1.03 (fovTop=1.03;). Find fovLeft and set it to 1.83 (fovLeft=1.83;).
Save changes and close fileWhy do you change these things? First two will allow game to accept raw input from mouse instead of game trying to correct mouse movement. Second one will increase FOV from claustrophobic 70° to 90°.
You can set FOV how you prefer, just use this great hia3.com so you will know how to set values. You will find comparsion of different FOV settings in my other guide. If you are one of guys that rely on setting parameters for exe instead of using ARMA 3 Launcher then you have to apply appropriate changes on your own.
Dwarden (ARMA 3 developer at Bohemia Interactive) is releasing improved exe files after every patch. I highly recommend using them as they do make a noticeable difference.
There are two ways to download them, automatic (many thanks to Greenfist/Sams for pointing this out as I wasn't aware!) and manual. It's safe to use manual, but please remember to ALWAYS download files straight from Dwarden's dropbox or google drive, never use some 3rd party reuploads as they may not be legit performance exes, but may contain malware.You can find Dwarden's post that links to new exe files forums.bohemia.net. Performance exeAUTOMATIC (Recommended):. Open Steam. Open ARMA 3 Properties (right mouse button on ARMA 3 in library). Go to BETA tab.
Enter following code and confirm it: CautionSpecialProfilingAndTestingBranchArma3. Select 'profiling - Performance Profiling Build'This will automatically download newest performance exe once they are available.MANUAL:NOTE: You will have to redo this after every ARMA 3 update as every update will replace exe. You need to pick proper exe for your OS version (32-bit or 64-bit) and your game version (currently 1.92). Go to Dwarden's drive.google.com or www.dropbox.com and download newest performance exe (currently: 192perf - perf02 - performance exe). If you use 64-bit OS and 64-bit ARMA client download arma3clientx64performance and if you use 32-bit ARMA client download arma3clientperformance. Unpack downloaded exe to SteamsteamappscommonArma 3. Rename your current exe, for 64-bit: arma3x64.exe to arma3x64.exe.backup, for 32-bit: arma3.exe to arma3.exe.backup.
Rename your performance exe, for 64-bit to arma3x64.exe, for 32-bit to arma3.exe. Download and install bitsum.com. Start Process Lasso. Start ARMA 3 (game, not launcher).
In Process Lasso click with right mouse button on Arma process - Priority class - Always - Above normal (do NOT ever set it to realtime priority). Click with right mouse button on arma process - CPU affinity - Always - Untick CPU 0 (do this only if you have 4 or more cores)NOTE: Alternatively if you don't want to use 3rd party software you can use Task Manager to set priority and affinity, but you will have to do it EVERY time you start game (while with Process Lasso you do it once). Drivers updateKeeping your driver up-to-date is important, because that way you always get new fixes and performance improvements for games. However it's especially important to update your drivers if you are using Windows 10 as May Update will be released shortly and with it WDDM 2.6 (windows drivers architecture). Standby list cleaner. Download and unzip www.wagnardsoft.com. Start ISLC.
Mods For Arma 3
Set 'The list size is at least' value depending on your available RAM (less RAM = set it to lower value). For 16GB of RAM I recommend 1200MB, for 8GB probably 800MB should be good. Set 'Free memory is lower than' value depening on your available ram.
For 16GB of RAM I recommend 2000MB, for 8GB probably 1500MB should be good. Press Start button. DO NOT close the app (it needs to be running in background)Clearing standby list is performed by CPU, so do NOT set values too low as it will just force CPU to clean standby list very often and can negatively impact performance in game. You want it to be cleared as rare as possible but before you will be left with small amount of free RAM.
General tabDO NOT reduce sampling unless you have tried other options and still struggle to maintain playable FPS.If you struggle with performance you should start decreasing settings in following order: Cloud, Shadow, Particles, Terrain, Objects. Try to keep Objects as high as possible, they are quite taxing, but important (they decide how complex a scene can be).PIP: If you have performance issue in vehicles or in any other situation where there are mirrors or dashboard cameras you should reduce or even disable PIP.
It basically render another scene (what you see in car mirror in game is not a reflection, is new scene rendered from different camera position and displayed in game)Textures: If you have enough vram (4GB and above) you are free to set it on v. High or ultra. Unless you don't have enough vram there is no need to set it differently.When it comes to visibility IMO there is no need to go over 5000 with overall (I recommend 4000), 4000 with object (I recommend 3000) and 100 with shadows (I recommend 50). After you completed everything ARMA should be running better. FPS improvement largely depends on hardware you own, mission you play, mods you use.
For me on average it was 5FPS while using fully modded game (almost 80GB of mods) and up to 10FPS while playing KotH. On the top of that stuttering issue I had is completely gone, but bear in mind that freezes/fps drops caused by loading terring while you move are not same as stuttering (to fix/reduce those you need SSD).

My fps were locked at 58 and I couldn't understand why, checked MSI Afterburner, ArmA config, Nvidia control panel, all VS locations, but nothing got me out of this hole. THEN I read a post somewhere about removing Nvidia Inspector and the fact that it leaves everything ON that you set, even when NI was deleted from your PC. I reinstalled NI, reverted the settings to default, and everything is hunky dory! Back to 150fps -/+ but with VS on in ArmA, it hold it at 60 and smooth as budda!Just wanted to throw that out for others.
