Performance Problems

Game mode: Online Private
Type of issue: Horrible Frame Drops and Lag
Server type: PVP/PVE
Region: G-Portal East Coast USA


[Describe the bug here]

We are having rendering problems and frame drops. Just started today. We had a few here and there before, but suddenly we are dropping frames today. I have reinstalled my server, turned mods on and off, Restarted the server several times, and still it does not fix.

Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

  1. Log in
  2. Run around for a few minutes and let things load in
  3. Turn a corner, go through a doorway, run toward an object etc.
  4. Lag-out and get frame drops

Any advice? The gc Blueprint has been on false in my pc since last year. Nothing is working and now other people are getting the same issues. Thank you!

Hey @YukiPanda

Are there a lot of player made buildings, or big constructions in that server?

Thank you for responding! We have two major buildings on the server.

There are smaller outposts around the map, but nothing too crazy. A few wheels of pain, etc. We try to keep it minimum to avoid problems. We have a few Map tables throughout the map as well. Only about 7 people max at a time get on the server and we have 10 slots through G-Portal.

Thank you again!

This could be caused by a myriad of reasons. Since it seems it’s been recent, rather sudden and affecting more than one player our guess is that there was some recent construction or piece that is causing this, maybe a mod-related one.

Thank you! We have been taking down bases and such to find the culprit sadly :confused:

You could also try to peek at the server logs to see if there is any anomalous sightings in there that could explain this situation.

Not sure what I would be looking for to be honest, but I did notice when the sun goes up it does cause a drop in FPS. Not sure if it is the Aqualonian set shining too much, or what is happening with that one. :confused: We are still working through it though…

So, we did more testing of it today and it does seem like the sun moving through the desert is a problem. We tried taking down the walls outside of the buildings, and that made it a tiny bit better, but only because the sun was not glaring off of them. I tried taking down my settings, but it made the game look worse.
Thanks!

2 of your outposts are very close to desserters gutter. This area of the map is poorly optimised. This is why many severs ban building in this location.

Garbage collection settings in your ini file doesn’t fix it. It’s been lile this for years.
