Server performance, FPS and the Bell Heli

[Adminlaststand]

All credit goes to Nasdero and Kengglol for this.

 

I've been having some serious server fps issues used to run around 45 ish then dropped to 8-15 and i couldn't work out why.

 

I've rented a new Dedi box installed vanilla and then added mods - only 1 player on - same issue as above.

 

I came across this post:

 

 

I removed the Bell heli from 2 servers and bang fps back up to 45+

 

3 steps you need to do.

 

1 delete all pooh_13 objects in your objects_data table

 

2 to stop re-spawning delete all pooh_13 lines in the dynamic_vehicle.sqf make sure last entry comma removed (epoch_server)

 

3 remove the entry pooh_13 in the mission.sqm file (mpmissions)

 

not only has FPS increased but the server CPU utilization improved

 

hope it helps

Cheers

Little off topic but where did you rent Dedi box if I may ask? Looking for one myself.

I can't say i noticed any issues with them either, still there's a few versions so losing one won't matter :)

[MassAsster]

I really like the bells .. 

 

[ruubje11]

We're not having our FPS hit as well...

[Razorman]

We use them all except for the amphibious version, I read somewhere else that it was that one variant of the pook that was causing some fps issues so I removed it just in case ;)

[BetterDeadThanZed]

I haven't noticed problems with them, but if it's the amphibious version, I'm not using them on my server. No dynamic spawn or trader selling them because I heard they don't work well on the water, that they tend to sink.

Random question, I've lost the server debug fps update in the rpt anyone know where to find the command for a lazy person to re-enable it?

 

I've also not noticed any problems with low fps with the Bell's.

This Helicopters never spawned on my server. i dont know why...never ever have seen em :)

[Firefly]

They are probably not in the vehicle list, I had to add them last patch. These are the ones I am using added to dynamic_vehicles.sqf:

 

["pook_H13_gunship",1],
["pook_H13_medevac",1],
["pook_H13_transport",1],
["pook_H13_civ",1],
["pook_H13_civ_black",1],
["pook_H13_civ_slate",1],
["pook_H13_civ_white",1],
["pook_H13_civ_yellow",1],

If put at the end of the list remember to delete the comma.
