Low server FPS since 0.3.1.0?

[Psythrandir]

Hi!

 

I've notice very low server FPS (sometimes going down to 6 FPS) since yesterday. I don't know if its a problem with the new Epoch update or something else with the server.

 

Can't find nothing in the RPT and CPU loadout from server is around 20%, memory around 4. Normaly its around 50 FPS.

 

Anybody noticed the same?

[READTHESCROLL]

Same here. Low FPS, way more desyncing than before.

I noticed very irritating jerky stutters. Not sure if that has to do with Epoch 0.3.1.0 though...

[flow0815]

Can't confirm that. Performance is "good" as allways with arma 3. Stuttering or FPS drops may be caused because of vehicle simulation. Have to put this to true. Server fps will suffer but client fps will be better. BI said they fixed the bug but they absolutly don't. Vehicle Simulation Handler should be false to have more server fps but it is not possible atm.

Did you turn off the vehicle simulation handler in the config?

Did you turn off the vehicle simulation handler in the config?

 

I tested this on my test server.

 

With 600 vehicles and it set to true server fps was 50

The same with it false was 30.

Did you turn off the vehicle simulation handler in the config?

 

Where I can change this setting?

Where I can change this setting?

 

epochconfig.hpp in @epochhive

THX, but I can't find something about vehicle simulation handler in this file.

[READTHESCROLL]

line 32

 

simulationHandler = true;

[Psythrandir]

hmm this line 32 of my file:

 

allowedVehiclesList[] = {

 

 

and there is nothing about the simulationhandler in the whole file.

I'm afraid the installation of the 0.3.1.0 hasn't overwritten the old hpp. But I've deinstalled 0.3.0.4 before. :blink:

Thats confusing!  :unsure:

I dunno man.. This is what I have for lines 1-34

Read it. Replace your file with the new one.

Ok, THX I'll try it out.

[knights†emplar]

i tried playing it for first time in a while and notice really low fps, we tried few servers same thing

That on altis map?

Try out an a2 island map, consistent 50 to 60 client fps for most of the players on mine.

however been playing with the basic.cfg still getting some desync for select few players

[simon1603]

Also having some issues with Server FPS low spikes, currently in process of elimination by removing custom ai base etc and cutting back on ai numbers in missions and reducing number of vehicles on server (40 slots currently approx 300 vehicles) to see if this is causing the issue.
