just note there were some significant changes to LS for Win11 users recently. Win10 stayed the same.
Basic thing is - lock game fps ingame and/or in driver(Adrenalin settings for AMD) 1 below half of ur desired screen refreshrate e.g. 59, lockfps in driver for LS 3 fps lower than the screen refreshrate eg. 117.
For freesync/gsync enable in driver for game, but not in driver for LS. But enbale gsync option in LS itself. Done

@RunForRest Hey man, any chance I can grab your settings for Lossless Scaling? What do you have your stuff set too?

Dunno if you can write it here, or if you can maybe add me / message me or whatever.
Hopefully I've actually replied to you properly and you'll actually even see this. xD haha

This Arma 3 Performance Extension mods average performance metrics printed above are incorrect.

Its conflicting as per my findings as well as OperaterDrewski and others.

The average FPS with the mod not loaded with 35 or more A.I. is roughly 24fps with an average budget server.

With the mod loaded it climbs to about 30fps.

For DOUBLE fps through frame generation only (or even more with upscaling on top) get

As long as the GPU has headroom this will work and u will have no input lag.
For me this means im finally able to play above 60 fps 90% of the time, with very very high graphic settings, high viewdistance, no matter how bad the situation ingame is. Only a hardware upgrade of 2-3k € would normaly achieve this. Try it!! (im on 5600x|6700xt - 100fps in Arma is now not rare anymore)

this mod decreases performance heavily, do not download.
Cursed 24 Aug, 2024 @ 6:01am 
such a waste for not updating, might rename this an schizophrenic mod :steammocking::steamthis:
ItsManamus 13 Aug, 2024 @ 12:06pm 
Wish someone would update this and fix the last few issues.

AI disappears (Literally blinks out of existence) with this mod. I was 300m away from the AI and they crouched and completely disappeared off my screen while they were firing at me. Removing this mod because it's just not worth it.
ElPedroChicoRaulAlfonsoTejada 22 Jun, 2024 @ 6:19pm 
Would be great to have low res soldiers instead of them just disappearing
Lufian 3 May, 2024 @ 7:07am 
yes
DatChico 18 Apr, 2024 @ 9:30pm 
Can someone explain to me what he means by the AI hiding? Like what im getting is that lets say the AI is hiding behind a wall, I can't see him unless he comes from out of cover or I walk up to him and see him.

Is that what he means by this?
cadu_guimaraes 21 Mar, 2024 @ 9:38am 
this mod conflits with in-game Zeus Arsenal.
TSG621 16 Mar, 2024 @ 1:00pm 
can't wait to try this mod bro!1
The omega crazytails 11 Dec, 2023 @ 12:32pm 
Must have
sovietpeanut173 9 Dec, 2023 @ 1:22pm 
bruh things despawn from me even when i am looking at them ,especially bodies ,its annoying please fix pleasee
DeadEye 1 Nov, 2023 @ 11:32pm 
Can you fix when AI goes behind a bush or small fence, they disappear, and also when in long distances the AIs disappear in my visual, so im having a hard time to spot them pls fix thank you, your mod really helps in optimizing the game
ItsManamus 21 Sep, 2023 @ 5:04pm 
I wish they updated it a little bit more where it fixes the small bugs. Like when people are prone they sometimes don't show. it 100000% works with FPS but those bugs make it impossible to use.
Reticuli 21 Aug, 2023 @ 12:02pm 
I keep getting shot by people I can't see. I also didn't notice much improvement of performance in SP mode on my own PC.
Cap10_Nade 3 Aug, 2023 @ 3:31pm 
On a machine, > 10 years old, this seems to not have that big effect in saving fps (2 - 5 in my test) but it has an effect for saving (invisible) enemys life.
If enemys can shot first, a second or two before they became visible ... then it is a to big impact on gameplay ... but a nice idea ... i fear it's time to buy a new PC instead crying about low fps :steamsad:
CarlSaganT3 29 Jul, 2023 @ 8:56pm 
Easier than setting up dynamic sim for every group. Noice
JohnnyHamastix5643 15 Jul, 2023 @ 4:23pm 
Would you be able to implement more objects to be hidden as well? Such as buildings, etc that aren’t in the active field of view. This is a great mod I appreciate your work!
sungjemjamir 6 Jul, 2023 @ 2:08am 
dont use this mod with other performance mods. It heavily slows down the loading time.
nanner 4 Jul, 2023 @ 2:45pm 
Your mod was featured in this video! Performance RDLC https://youtu.be/aqn8vraVaZw

Everyone the key Is U to activate. If you use zeus unfortunately if you control any units in a distance you won't see them.
Lezard The Only One 8 Apr, 2023 @ 9:48am 
Is the mod already loaded or i need to press the key to take effect ?
GAMMA SECTOR 24 Mar, 2023 @ 2:31pm 
how does it effect battles between ai
FraggerNut 8 Mar, 2023 @ 5:49am 
Can you add an option to make performance mode the default mode when connecting so players don't have to press U?
InnocentDeadly 7 Jan, 2023 @ 12:28pm 
Thank you so much bro!:steamhappy:
gbr000 29 Dec, 2022 @ 4:28am 
This mod is great to clear buildings in First Person but I wasn't able to be full satisfied with this MOD yet! I deactivated because enemies were able to ambush me laying on the ground and I couldn't see them walking in the corners by distance. It would be great if instead you set a limit for km/miles, for example all enemies close to 100 meters would appear but not far from that and you could adjust to 200M-1KM etc. Also the ability to make weapons dissapear or select just enemies.
nanner 16 Jul, 2022 @ 5:24am 
@Ace This mod needs to run on the server AND the client.
Ace 13 Jul, 2022 @ 3:39pm 
Wait, maybe I'm just stupid. This isn't meant to run clientside. That might be why everyone is having bugs.

Are you guys all running this from your computers, or from a server?
Ace 13 Jul, 2022 @ 3:38pm 
Way too jank at the moment, but watching this for future updates.
R. Gonzalez 24 Jun, 2022 @ 10:39pm 
Not working well as it hides AI from our plain sight.
Wolf Heart Industries 10 May, 2022 @ 10:51pm 
The performance gains, at least on my system, aren't worth the immersion breaking bugs. Simple stance changing up and down deletes enemies, while they can still shoot at you. Neat in theory but has its kinks.
Omega_Tm 6 May, 2022 @ 4:11pm 
performance increases by a couple frames when on, but it makes enemies pop in and out like crazy even when right next to you
Jorgen 10 Apr, 2022 @ 4:37am 
some times when i switch units i cant see allys and enemies that are in front of me but if i press u a few times it fixes itself
TroubleAlwaysInbound 9 Mar, 2022 @ 1:44pm 
enemies disappear when in basically plain view.

too bad!
GH0$T 7 Mar, 2022 @ 3:01pm 
is there any server that uses this mod?
R. Gonzalez 2 Dec, 2021 @ 4:32pm 
@battlekeeper, the keybing always changes back to "U" after I've changed it on a new Arma execution... How to change it in the config files?
SSG 22 Nov, 2021 @ 7:34am 
I also guessed it shouldn't...

local editor, just had a benchmark on Stratis Agia Marina with 12 CSAT enemy men, and noticed removing the Performance extention only could raise fps from 75 to even 90...retained only CBA with Performance Extention, and U key on/off did not affect FPS at all...
Battlekeeper  [author] 21 Nov, 2021 @ 11:58am 
it shouldn't be, are you using it on a local computer or on a dedicated server? (ill look into it)
SSG 21 Nov, 2021 @ 7:44am 
Hi, is the computation also running when the mod is turned off? I noticed a near 10 fps drop even when the mod is not toggled on...thanks!
Jaguar-zxz 18 Nov, 2021 @ 12:24pm 
it is should press the key to activate or without pressing it already on ?
Jaguar-zxz 18 Nov, 2021 @ 11:48am 
gonna find it
Battlekeeper  [author] 17 Nov, 2021 @ 7:15am 
@DxG6767 yes it should

@Zal_DVSN there is an addon option for it

@Seb yes it works locally and it should work with UAVs and stuff like that
DxG6767 17 Nov, 2021 @ 7:04am 
does this work with campains like the original campaings?
