[Fellow Server Admins - My Server keeps Lagging]

Hey all,

ive been running a 7D2D server for years, and its always been laggy where, when BM comes on the zeds are always lagging, freezing or going around in circles.. gets worse when player structures are created.

I thought this was due to the games state but others who host it arent having the same issue.

 

Any ideas what i can look at to troubleshoot?

 

I run some XML mods on it, but others have said that other servers running the same mods arent having the issue.

ive had this issue for several wipes.

 

Map Size: 10240

Server info including mods can be found here: https://www.gamingalliance.net/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=125

 

Server running it:

Intel Xeon 3.47Ghz
90GM RAM / 29GB used

VMWare VM on SSD

OS: Server 2016 Std

Can you tell us more about this map with the blank spots in it? Are there any custom tiles or settings, like trying to make the city bigger than what TFP defined?

 

I ask because so far the only way I've found to get blank spots (using RWG) is too have to many POI markers in close proximity to each other without a large enough supply of POIs to fit them. There's also a density configuration that I don't know much about. I suspect it has to do with trying to keep the Tris/Polys counts reasonable among POIs in close proximity, else game performance degrades.

 

Just loaded up the game;
used the settings within the game to generate the map, nothing custom

and uploaded to dedicated server

 

I also hit a dead spot, where if i TP here i get 'frozen' and the map doesnt update, even the FoW doesnt go away..
not sure if it was just that generation that had the issue.

using the in game generator the map generator is still borked, there should be buildings here... and i get foot steps when "walking" through it in ghost mode...

doubt this will be updated until they have their generator fixed

[A19e Nitrogen - UNSTABLE]

Hello, I have a question please. I have a dedicated server (BlueFang) and I used this tool to make my map. How do I add the map to my server?

 

I should mention that I did not download any of the files to my computer. I go to the site and edit the files manually. Adding a map is the most elaborate thing I've done since playing this game (if you dont count downloading mod launcher..which I'm not using).

 

Thank you in advance for any help given.

 

Just copy the files to <7days install location>\Data\Worlds

 

Set <property name="GameWorld" value="FolderNameHere"/> to \Data\Worlds\<foldername of world> in your server config .xml file
