@ArmedLightning With the new multithreading changes in Arma3 (available in the "profiling" branch) the performance is way better. Can you increase the distance of clutter?

@galaxy Regarding the memory allocator "ArmedLightning" (the author) wrote this: "Using the JEMalloc allocator helped alleviate crashing under those scenarios."

is there a specific memory allocator that should be use with this? I think the crash many are having, myself included, is identical to the ones people have from using the wrong memory allocator.

update?

this crashes my game :(

Are these mods going to be updated to work again? I miss having grass that better matches what the bots see.

I've used this mod in the past and it worked fine, but recently that i've been using I've noticed no difference?

@ArmedLightning according to config viewer,
clutterDist = 100;
clutterGrid = 1;
clutterRadius = 1;

... was late to the party on the S.O.G. Prairie Fire DLC. Anyway, support will likely come in a separate add-on. Unfortunately, my hands are tied until B.I. updates the .ebo files to .pbo format. Adjustments will likely be minor with tweaks to draw distance (it's fairly good as is). Though just looking at grass density on the map, I suspect the real FPS killer lies within the "clutterGrid" variable. Reducing this value too much (lower values INCREASE density by decreasing the space between each clutter object placed in the scene) in combination with a high draw distance can quickly eat up frames. Also, as stated in my last post (few and far between), the JEMalloc allocator still remains the the most stable memory allocator on my side. Lastly, when (if) the day comes that I finally get a new GPU I'll see if there is any more juice to squeeze concerning draw distance/density in the form of an "Insane" version.

Would this work with the new Vietnam CDLC terrain?

Kuddos for the update!

... and if you're still out there "Slingshot", Malden 2035 has been fixed just for YOU!

v0.2 - Removed a bunch of unnecessary code. Increased both density and draw distance to better utilize the capabilities of modern GPU's. As a side note, instability was noted during testing with extremely high values (beyond what a OC'd water-cooled 980 Ti Classy can handle for practical use). Using the JEMalloc allocator helped alleviate crashing under those scenarios. You may want to experiment with different allocators if you encounter the same.

Way better than vanilla, but on Malden 2035 is no grass at all with this mod

is there a noticable fps increase?

All original and DLC maps were considered up until the "Contact" DLC. It's unlikely I'll be taking a crack at that one. The style doesn't pique my interest and I haven't touched ArmA 3 in a while.

Do this and your other mod work on ALL maps or just vanilla?
