# Arma 3 Headless Client
|
|
### From their [Site](https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Headless_Client)
|
|
What is a Headless Client (HC) used for?
|
|
* Headless Client is used to offload AI calculations from the server
|
|
* Headless Client is integrated into game client and dedicated server executable (WIndows and Linux, use -client parameter)
|
|
* The server doesn't allow arbitrary connections from headless clients if you do not define the headless clients IPs in the server.cfg,
|
|
|
|
### But why?
|
|
If you host an Arma 3 Server with lots of AI in it, the Server FPS will drop fast.
|
|
Since the server files are only 32 Bit you will need some kind of magical assistant to prevent slow AI.
|
|
|
|
### Minimum RAM warning
|
|
This server requires about 2048m to run properly. ARMA 3 is more CPU intensive though.
|
|
|
|
### Additional settings
|
|
Additional server flags can be found [here](https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Startup_Parameters).
|
|
This can help is you see the server using to many cores/threads on the server.
|
|
If you want to know how to implement, take a look at the Wiki [here](https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Headless_Client#Spawning_the_AI) or at a guide in the A3 Forums [here](https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/178434-arma3-headless-client-guide/).

|
### Server Ports
|
|
Since this is basically a client, this Egg does not need a port. |
