While I was playing with 2 of my friends on the vps which has 3vcpus, ssd drive and 4g ram, its load went around 0.8~1.2. When someone explored and entered many new chunks, it went more and more but we don't feel any serious problem during our play. On the other hand, when I do the same with another vps (2vcpus, hdd, 2g ram. same company), it was always swapping. There was also considerably high latency and we got difficulty in picking up the items. Though it depends on what parts (cpus, rams, and so on) my company is offering and how many people are sharing the original cpu (which I can't know), I dare say your situation is normal. Have you tried running the 7dtd process with nice command? If you are running other processes it might help a little. Maybe you could tweak sysctl variables, however, it won't change the things dramatically since these parameters are already optimized most of the time... Sorry for not being very helpful and my EngRish. Good luck with it

Hi Isalof. To check your server's status, how about using top command. like, #!/bin/sh sdtdpid=$(cat /TO/YOUR/INSTANCE/7dtd.pid) top -b -n 1 -p $sdtdpid > /TO/LOG/DIR/top7dtd.log

Thank you all for answering such hasty-successive questions. Now that I grasped some part of the situation. Knowing that, I want to thank you again, Alloc! ...well, I'd hosted a certain zombie MOD server, so I'm accustomed to waiting(nicely) for the devs!

I ran the script /usr/local/bin/7dtd.sh instances updateengine then created new game instance using new config template, played several minutes and it seems just fine. However, since I'm new to 7dtd itself, I don't know whether the linux_files including "7DaysToDie.x86 engine" have to be updated or not. As far as I know, the updateengine option updates only the game itself via steamcmd. So, I re-downloaded and checked the linux_files that Alloc provided. Their timestamp are still 2 weeks ago, so there's no change at the moment. Does anyone know where to get information about 7DaysToDie.x86? Is that the official one? If so, where can I get the latest build? Anyway, this thread is very helpful. Thanks!
