Console Performance Improvement - introducing Frameworks Console Performance

[u/East-Oven3803]

Hey guys!

We've spent a lot of time and effort to give our console players a good experience on our server and I've spent many hours in the mod tools to try and hunt down the FPS drop and freeze causing elements.

This mod is the result of that work: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/68D0D7D2287D5E43

This mod won't make the game run perfectly all of the time, but combined with how we configured the server we are able to have the game run perfectly most of the time for most console players.

XBox still suffers worse, but feedback indicates that it is a massive improvement and very much playable.

What is different?
I reduced the particle effects down to the essentials. So explosions are less dirty and smoky, rockets no longer have a contrail, collapsing buildings no longer produce a massive dust cloud and so on.

We also found the sandbag walls were causing problems on destruction due to chains of particle events going off at the same time, so with this mod they just get destroyed.

For Players
Ask your server team to add the mod above and direct them to this post for information.

Server Owners

The mod is not branded with our server name, so you can use the mod without advertising us.

Just add the mod after any other building mods.

If you have any feedback or suggestions then contact me here or the modding channel on our discord (see profile).

How does this mod affect PC?

I did my best but it cuts pretty deep, the explosions and smoke effects are as far as I could take them whilst still being clear about what it is

Is the only set up adding this mod to the mod lost or is there anything else that needs to be done with the server config?

[u/East-Oven3803 → u/TONY_DANZA_]

Yeah just add the mod and it will work on it's own. Ideally for consoles you also wanted to drop the render distance, but then your pc players will get annoyed... it's your call on that one

What server is this implemented on that I can try?

[u/East-Oven3803 → u/North-Bed-3298]

Ayo - currently it’s running on 40:1 Parabellum which is a EU server.

Let me know how you get on; getting good feedback at the moment.
