I’m just wondering if anyone else is getting this issue. Aside from the fact that one of my 2 servers takes a couple hours to load after a restart, once I’m in… things are fine, once other people join things are fine… after a couple of hours of playing though, the server starts to break down slowly.
For example, after a few hours, trying to replace/remove any building items like floors or walls causes massive lag spikes across the whole server, and will take a few moments to actually make the change… placing any placeable at all usually gets “invalid building place” unless your character is standing pretty far away from where you are trying to build/place down. If you try to do too much at once, the whole server starts kicking people… It’s so frustrating.
If i do a server restart when this starts happening, it goes back to being fine to a while, but ultimately again, same stuff starts happening after some time.
Could I have too many mods? i have like 35. the large majority are just adding different building sets to the game. Is anyone else experiencing this?
That may be the case. I suggest that the game client remotely checks that kind of feedback. Right now, I think a restart is “full”. There was a lag spike not in game, but I skimmed the log. Players don’t seem to know what to do under a lag spike. Some see the infamous 9999 result.
There is currently a known issue as reported (a lot) on the Conan Exiles and the Admins United Discord groups regarding Modded servers - especially long-standing ones.
In layman’s terms. When old mods are removed, etc, legacy artefacts with specific id’s that hang about/squat in the game db file. Something? introduced during the last hotfix (as the lagging to startup started then) started checking for old stuff, making the server do this long check through itself whenever it restarts/mods are updated and server starts. The server logs this in the log files. It takes a while, and the more mods you have, the longer it takes. For moodded servers that have not changed their mods for years, this lag may not be as long - just as long as the mods they have, have not removed items.
