Arma Reforger server RAM: how much do you need?

Enfusion, Reforger's engine, is leaner than what Arma 3 used, yet the same thing sets the requirement: how much AI is in play.

What uses the memory in Arma Reforger

Enfusion runs a given scenario more cheaply than the engine before it, so an equivalent mission needs less. What scales has stayed the same — busy scenarios with lots of AI are expensive, and workshop mods raise the baseline when they load.

Where people get it wrong

Reusing an Arma 3 figure. The two engines differ enough that an old estimate can be off in either direction depending on the scenario, so size from the kind of mission you run, not from what the older game needed.

Rather not run the server yourself?

These tools are free and funded by the two hosting services we run. If you want a server that is already set up, here they are.
