I’ll look into the SSD I’ve never done that before! 1 Quote Link to comment

Literally don’t know the first thing to even do haaaa. I have no pride so I don’t mind looking like an idiot Quote Link to comment

THIS Arma is one of those weird games that if you have a shit CPU, raising some settings will actually improve frames... there is no 'magic formula' you kinda just need to play around until you get better stable frames...also if your going to upgrade soon, you may as well try OC your CPU, theres plenty software out there that'll help with the testing... 1 Quote Link to comment
Icy 127 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I've been following this post but not responding because I didn't have anything useful to say, but now I do. has anyone else noticed the title is ARMS 3 not ARMA 3? 1 1 Quote Link to comment

MAV 1617 Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Actually, there are a few launch options you can try using as well that could help (albeit marginally) ... I'm at work now and teaching tonight, so if your on TS around 11:30ish EST DM me and ill send them over... at a minimum your should run '-NoPause' (no quote) as it will help keep arma from crashing when you tab out / back in.... others i have enable hyper threading, allocates max ram/vram, cores, kills the startup vid and other bs to launch faster, etc... may only get you a few fps, but worth a shot..
