I’ve gotten round to installing Conan Exiles on my Ubuntu dedicated server, and did so by following this guide: https://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Dedicated_Server_Setup:_Linux_and_Wine
Unfortunately, performance is far worse than just playing coop with my friend through Steam. It constantly jumps down from 30 server fps, the lowest it’s gone to being 12fps, with the ping skyrocketing to 198ms or so.
Am I missing something? Surely performance can’t be that terrible. All we did was fight a camp of exiles by the newbie river, and we were rubberbanding like mad. The NPC enemies weren’t any better, and were juddering about the place.
The only ports open (rest are blocked by firewall) are:
22 TCP (SSH)
80 TCP (HTTP)
443 TCP (HTTPS)
27015 UDP (Steam, according to the wiki)
7777 UDP (Conan Exiles default port)
Here is the log for the half hour so that we played: https://pastebin.com/raw/PghLBMHP
The server hardware is:
i7 3770k
16GB DDR3
2x1TB HDD
1Gbit connection
Unlimited bandwidth
For reference, it runs the server for 7 Days To Die perfectly, with double the default number of zombies and animals, with five people playing. It also runs a WoW private server just fine as well. Total CPU usage when running the Conan Exiles server through WINE was 8%.
Any idea on how to solve this issue?
