FASTER is a Windows-based administration utility designed for Arma 3 server operators who need a streamlined way to deploy, update, and maintain dedicated game servers together with their Steam Workshop mod collections. Developed by Foxlider, the program constitutes a complete rebuild of the earlier Flax tool, integrating previously separate processes into one interface so that installers, updates, and mod synchronization can be launched with a few clicks instead of manual SteamCMD commands. Typical use cases include community clans spinning up campaign servers, hosting providers provisioning multiple instances, and mod-team testers who must switch between large mod sets several times a day; the built-in Workshop downloader resolves dependencies, tracks version hashes, and keeps separate profiles so that different server configurations can coexist on the same machine without file conflicts. The application belongs to the broader Game Server Tools category, yet its tight focus on Arma 3 makes it the preferred launcher for more than a thousand online servers listed by BattleMetrics. Foxlider maintains two concurrent branches—stable release 1.9g and an upcoming 2.0 line that rewrites the scheduling engine—so users can stay on proven code or preview long-awaited parallel update queues. Both versions are offered as freeware, require .NET 6 runtime, and store metadata in portable JSON files that can be version-controlled alongside mission folders. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
