Reduce screen shimmer and stutter in Arma 3.
I'm having trouble with my gameplay getting unstable lately. I think my PC might not be powerful enough for the game, especially during intense scenes or loading times. It often crashes with a black screen or freezes, and sometimes the console works but then logs out. I have an i7 6700k with an MSI GTX1070, 16GB RAM, DDR4 2400, a 250GB SSD, and Hyper X Fury.
It's typical to adjust settings for better performance. Performance tends to suffer on servers like Life, Exile, or heavily scripted ones. King of the hill can be demanding but usually manageable with ~30 FPS even at 100 players. Lowering AA and avoiding PIP (especially in vehicle mirrors) helps. Distance matters significantly. Crashing and black screens are uncommon issues.
Recommend textures and terrain for ultra/high settings with clouds off, low/pip off, minimal AO, 2x AA without post-processing, trees and grass off. Disable caustics, post-process filters, and shadow distance (at least 50). Adjust view distance based on perspective (foot, car, air). Using an SSD drive will assist slightly, particularly during fast movement.
