Arma 3 Exile
Due to the number of mods that are loaded at start-up, it is important to use an SSD hard disk or an NVMe hard disk. These sometimes work hundreds of times faster than an outdated HDD hard drive.
The processor is also important for Arma 3. Contrary to what is usually claimed, it is not the number of cores that is important, but the clock frequency. Accordingly, we recommend a processor with at least 4 cores (with Hyperthreading 8 cores), which has a clock frequency of at least 3 GHz. However, the most common processors from Intel and AMD already achieve higher values.
In addition to the processor, the graphics card is also important. Do not use old graphics cards or the integrated graphics unit of the processor.
At least important is the main memory, whereby we recommend a minimum of 8 GB. Please note the clock frequency supported by the mainboard and processor. You can find information about this on the manufacturer's website or in the manual.
You can also find more information about the hardware on these websites:

Best advise: To further improve the performance of Arma 3, you can use the Performance Branch of the game. You can find more information here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Steam_Branches
Also you can boost the performance with the following settings in the Launcher:
A customized Memory Allocator can be one like this: https://github.com/GoldJohnKing/mimalloc
You can also find more information about Arma 3 on the official Discord of the Arma family: https://discord.com/invite/arma
1. Find a nice place where you want to build.
2. Use 'Can I build here?' on the XM8 front page and check, if this place is available.
3. You can buy yourself a flag at the Trader. It costs 75.450 Poptabs and requires 50.000 Respect.
4. When you place the flag, please use a proper name. Otherwise admins will rename it.
5. Players within a group are allowed to have a maximum of two territories.
6. Bases have to be renewed after 30 days.
Vehicles may remain on the server for 48 hours and are then automatically deleted. For the benefit of the frames (FPS) of your fellow players and of course yourself, the vehicles should be parked in the virtual garage. Bases must be paid for every 30 days.
Please also take a look into: https://avmg.eu/index.php?faq-…t-my-own-customized-flag/
The flag can only be moved by an admin. You can request this via Ticket.
Yes, this is possible. Please open a Ticket in Discord. The following requirements need to be fullfilled:
- only allowed file format is PNG
- allowed size of image is 512x256px (not more, not less)
- image doesn't break any copyright of a 3rd party
In some cases a base can be restored. The maximum time to restore a base after deletion is two days. You can request the restoration via Ticket.
Mission vehicles in that sense no longer exist.Most vehicles, except for rewards from static missions, must be claimed. Claimed vehicles run on the player's own account and can therefore be replaced. All vehicles that do not run on the player's account will not be replaced.
Vehicles from static missions are generally not replaced.
The question marks mean that you do not have enough respect for the item to be displayed.

Since the Arma 3 launcher has been constantly improved over the last few years, we recommend using it.
We are aware that there are still players who use the A3Launcher http://a3launcher.com/. Due to the limited support, we strongly advise against using this launcher. Also, there are always errors caused by its use.
If you need help setting up or understanding the onboard Arma 3 launcher, please feel free to join the Arma 3 Discord: https://discord.gg/arma
Hint: before you do the following things just take a look into that FAQ article: https://avmg.eu/index.php?faq-…ce-des-spiels-verbessern/
At first please verify the game cache of Arma 3:
If it's a mod, you also can repair the mod via Arma 3 Launcher:
Important information: after repair you need to restart the Launcher.
First of all, please create a ticket in Discord so that we can help you with this.
Please download the following file: https://sourceforge.net/projec…tr/files/WinMTR-v092.zip/
Extract the file WinMTR-v092.zip and open the folder WinMTR_x64. Double click WinMTR.exe. Now a program should open which looks like this:
In the "Host" field, enter the IP address of the server on which you are playing. You can find the IP address as follows:
Please leave the MTR open for at least 1000 runs. Please send the MTR data in the ticket you opened. Please also give us your public IPv4 address (you can find this, e.g. via https://whatismyipaddress.com/) so that we can also perform an MTR from the server.
Yes, this is generally possible. However, this ability is only unlocked for special vehicles, as you can craft. You can find these in the Vehicle Crafting list with the name “Dynamic Loadout”. Alternatively, you can find all unlocked vehicles under the specification “Customizable” here: https://avmg.eu/index.php?faq-…d-deren-f%C3%A4higkeiten/
You can open the Pylon Manager at all hangars (also available for your own territory) via the scroll-down menu.
This is a known bug, especially in RHS vehicles. Mostly Russian T-tanks are affected, but also helicopters.
The problem can be solved by setting the graphics settings PiP (Picture in Picture) to Very High or Ultra.
Due to the physics in Arma 3, any use of the parachute, e.g. replacing in inventory or catapulting out of an aircraft, will cause the backpack to disappear or be deleted. We therefore advise against carrying a backpack in aircraft. If the backpack is lost due to something like this, it will not be replaced.
First of all, we would like to point out that any violation of the rules will be punished.
Since this is a high-value vehicle, we have to differentiate to what extent previous rule violations influence the punishment.
Generally, we give a warning for the first offence. In case of a second offence, the vehicle will be deleted after consultation with a higher team member. If there is another offence after that, a ban on using that vehicle will be issued.
- parking on objects is dangerous as there is a very high chance that the vehicle will explode
- you can use a defibrillator to resuscitate your friends, which saves time
- vehicles can be spawned via the XM8 for a low cost; you will also need Duct Tape
- for Radioactive Zone Missions you need a full Hazmat Suit (Contact DLC may be required)
- use your environment to craft things
- the most powerful helicopters can also lift tanks; to prevent bugs, the pilot must be the last driver of the lifted vehicle
- a large number of vehicles can be crafted via the CDAH Vehicle Crafting Terminal
- when crafting, the Tempest (Device) can be used to load certain items directly
- Flares in the helicopter can be used by pressing the C key (or CTRL + C)
- vehicles without PIN can be claimed with a Code Lock
- you can plant certain plants by placing seeds like objects
- in Fishing Zones you can go fishing with a boat
- at certain zones on the beach you can craft sandbags
All over the map you can find seeds. You can also find them in Gear Crates, Ship Wrecks and DMS Missions.
When you have found seeds, you can plant them via double click in your territory. You can plant a maximum of 10 plants per species, depending on the territory level. The following levels are needed:
Base Level 1 - 4: One Plant
Base Level 5 - 9: Two Plants
Base Level 10 - 14: Three Plants
Base Level 15 - 19: Four Plants
Base Level 20 - 25: Five Plants
Base Level 26: Six Plants
Base Level 27: Seven Plants
Base Level 28: Eight Plants
Base Level 29: Nine Plants
Base Level 30: Ten Plants
Every plant need to be irrigated and fertilized. You can do both 30 times, but only once per server period. When you plant the seeds, the plant needs at least 5 days to grow. So after 5 days you can harvest it. The more you water and fertilize it, the more it returns when harvested. For every activity you need a tractor. You can check the status of your plants in the XM8 Commander.
The maximum amount of returns is 15 items per plant.
For irrigating you need a Water Canister with Fresh Water or a Bottle of Fresh Water.
Organic Fertilizer can be crafted from: Rotten Item/Meat/Fish (+1 Fertilization level)
Chemical Fertilizer can be crafted from: Rotten Item/Meat/Fish + Gun Powder (+ 2 Fertilization level)
You can craft the Fertilizer with a Empty Food Canister you can buy. The rotten fruits can be found everywhere on the map and also on DMS Missions. Gun Powder can be mined.
A water pump ("Water Pump") can be used to irrigate several plants in the immediate vicinity. The Composter can be used craft raw meat and/or vegetables/fruit in Fertilizer. Note that no Chemical Fertilizer is produced here.
A Composter can be used to convert fruit into rotten fruit (Rotten Item). The Composter can also be used to produce Fertilizer with the corresponding items in the Composter. This is always done at the start of the server.
Some plants give rotten fruits when harvested. The probability is 1:1.
The selling price for drugs per plant is at least 35,000 Poptabs, depending on the skill up to 500,000 Poptabs.
Level 1: 0
Level 2: 3.125
Level 3: 6.250
Level 4: 12.500
Level 5: 25.000
Level 6: 50.000
Level 7: 75.000
Level 8: 100.000

Level 17: 1.250.000
Level 18: 1.500.000
Level 19: 1.750.000
Level 20: 2.000.000
Level 21: 2.500.000
Level 22: 3.000.000
Level 23: 3.500.000
Level 24: 4.000.000
Level 25: 5.000.000
There is a maximum of 10 skill levels. The skills are calculated 100*level. This means that you have to do 1000 activities in one area to get level 10.
Depending on the level, there is a multiplier in the earnings. This is 0.25 + level. This means that at level 10 you have a multiplier of 2. This means that depending on the activity, there is a chance of better items or the output is doubled. The maximum reachable amount of skill points is 999.999.
Technically there is no level limit, but it requires 10 level to reach the maximum output of earnings for the specific activity. Some activity can unlock special rewards at higher levels.
Currently you get for 1 skill point 1 Poptab per hourly through Wages. For the following exceptions you get for 10 skill points 1 Poptab:
- Fishing
- Harvesting
- Mining
- Butcher
An explanation of the specific earnings can be found in the FAQ article on the activity, if available.
There are skill levels for the following activities, and skill points are also shown for each.
- Fishing
- Fishing from a boat
- Sand Bags
- Crafting sandbags
- Salvaging
- Salvaging of vehicles
- Harvesting
- Water plants
- Fertilize plants
- Harvest plants
- Metal Processing
- Recovery of metal through scrap and containers
- Mining
- Mining of stones in the quarry
- Butcher
- Give food and water to animals
- Gut animals
- Wood Chopping
- Chopping trees
- Robbery
- Robbing ATM
A good alternative to buying vehicles is to craft them. To craft vehicles you need your own territory, alternatively building rights are also sufficient. The most important tool is the "Vehicle Crafting Terminal", which you can use to craft vehicles. You also need a "Vehicle Crafting Crate" in which you put the items for crafting the vehicles.
You can view all the requirements you need to craft a specific vehicle directly in the "Vehicle Crafting Terminal".
Note that the "Vehicle Crafting Crate" is emptied. Only tools remain in the crate. Crafted vehicles automatically go into the Refund Queue.
For some vehicles you need a specific Base Level. You can find this in the "Vehicle Crafting Terminal".
Fishing is one of the simplest activities. But how does it work?
- to be able to fish you need a Fishing Boat
- you can buy the boat for level 1 from the Trader
- You get boats for level 2 and 10 automatically when you level up
- after level 10 you automatically get a new boat (until level 100)
- you can fish using the XM8 or via the scroll wheel
- Fishing is only possible in the authorised zones
Functionality:
- the net is temporarily removed from the inventory when you call it out
- after you have had to wait a few seconds, either your net is lost or you retrieve it (= it is added to your inventory)
- the chance of losing the net depends on the skill
- you can either get fish or any other rubbish you can find in the ocean
- the chance of getting a Rubber Duck increases with each level
- your catch is automatically added to your boat; when your boat is full, the catch is released again
- you have to wait 30 seconds between each time; the time decreases by 2 seconds with each level (i.e. down to 10 seconds)
The roaming AI only spawns up to a player count of 15 players. After that, the spawn is deactivated on the script side to save resources on the server. However, existing roaming AI will continue to be processed on the server.
ATMs spawn on all servers. The spawn of these machines is always randomised (= not always in the same position). You can break open the machines with a crowbar. The crowbar will break in the process. The amount you get depends on your Robbery Skill. Vending machines can be used outside the safe zone to transfer money. You will need a credit card for this.
- each robbery guarantees you at least 25,000 Poptabs and 2,500 Respect
- with each skill level the guaranteed amount of Poptabs increases by 10%, so you can get up to 25,000 Poptabs and 2,500 Respect extra
- with each skill point you receive an additional 35 Poptabs and 10 Respect, so you can get up to 35,000 Poptabs and 10,000 Respect
- as your skill level increases, the chance of getting up to 75,000 additional Poptabs and 7,500 Respect increases
- you can also randomly receive up to 100,000 Poptabs and 10,000 Respect by increasing your skill level
- with a certain percentage you have the chance that the Crowbar will not break
ATMs can be located with Radio Service Vehicle/Backpacks.
Keyvaults (containers) spawn at certain positions on the map. To get into these you need a keycard. There are 6 different keyvaults, and therefore also keycards. Each level (Zeta to Alpha) results in better loot. The keyvault can only be opened once per server period.
The following drops appear in Keyvaults:
- Rubber Ducks (2 * level)
- Vehicle crafting items (5 * level)
- Money (37500 * level)
- Weapons (only one weapon per vault and a couple of random magazines)
- Special clothing (only one item per Vault)
- Keycards, Police Safe Keys and Construction Supply Cards
With every Keyvault, you opened, you will get Respect (1.250 * Level).
Keyvaults can be located with Radio Service Vehicle/Backpacks.
Via scroll menu you can add AI to the driver seat of the vehicle. How it works exactly:
- AI can only be added when: no driver, player is in a group (party), system not activated on the vehicle
- will be removed when: player dies, AI dies, player gets out of vehicle, vehicle gets destroyed, player disconnects
- the activation costs 5000 Poptabs
In order for a drone to be connected to the terminal, the player must act as the "owner" of the drone. The following actions make this possible:
- attach the drone to another vehicle (tow system)
- put the drone in the virtual garage (if Trader does not work, use the base)
- hack the drone (activate the Hack Drone system via the XM8)
Rubber Duck Fahrzeuge mit Speziallackierungen (mit dem Prefix "Special") haben eine erhöhte Kapazität (Basiswert * 5), Panzerung (Basiswert * 2) sowie eine erhöhte Endgeschwindigkeit.
Every weapon can load their standard magazines. Magazines for special weapons can be bought at Black Market Trader.
Please be aware that these mods are client-side mods. Other players don't see or hear your changes.
This is a bug in infiSTAR Vision. We do not have a whitelist on the server and therefore you cannot be added. A relog fixes the problem quite simply. A fix for this problem is not in sight from infiSTAR.
Alle Fahrzeuge können über das Vehicle Crafting Terminal gecraftet werden.
There are one or more sand beaches on each map. There you will find piles of sand that you can "mine" with a Shovel (Usable). Depending on your skill level, you will receive at least one Sand Bag. You will need a Burlap Sack to mine the sand pile.
Note: The Tempest Device cannot be used for this action.
There is one or more Quarry on every map. There you will find stones that you can mine with a Pickaxe (Usable). Depending on your skill level, you will receive at least four resources (depending on the type of stone). You can sell gemstones and crystals. You can process metal into ingots, which can also be sold. Stones can be processed into cement (Cement Bag) or mortar (Bucket of Mortar).
