Experiencing extreme lag on local server

[saya]

Primary Phenomenon

part 1 (which I think are essentially the same problem)

1. Resources do not pop up when I mine an asteroid, I have to wait about 1 minute to collect dropped resources.
2. In building mode, there is also a 1 minute lag when I try to put a block or turret.
3. Sometimes I get kicked out of my ship and I have to wait about 1 minute to return to my ship after I press T.
4. Nothing happens when I pass through a gate, the loading screen appears after abount 1 minute.
5. Pirates just stand there after arriving the sector, being punched like sandbags by local police force.

part 2

1. I didn't experience this lag in singleplayer, which is weird because singleplayer also needs a server.
2. I have a feeling this is a network issue. After I returned to the main menu, the server started to spam "Server TCP: Error occurred in send: (some gibberish)" in the server log, and the server does not respond to /save or /stop command anymore, I have manually kill it.

Minor Phenomenon

1. AvorionServer.exe uses less than 5% of CPU (i9-10900k), system RAM usage is lower than 25% (64GB total).
2. Avorion.exe has similar low system resource usage.
3. Restart client & server will temporarily mitigate the issue, but the huge lag returns quickly.

Network & Server Configuration

This is a local server, which means client & server run on the same computer.

The lag displayed on the top right corner is about 3~4ms, the lag displayed in the LAN lobby is about 0~1ms.

The server is started with this command:

bin\AvorionServer.exe --galaxy-name galaxy_0 --admin 7656119830450xxxx

In which the "7656119830450xxxx" is my steam id.

Configuration file is included in the attachment.

Size of Save

135MB. A pretty new galaxy created a few hours ago. There is only 1 online player, which is myself, with only 1 ship which has less than 100 blocks.

The sector I was in when I was experiencing this lag issue has 10 stations, 16 ships, 745 asteroids and 30 wreckages as it is displayed on the top left corner in the galaxy map.

System Info

• OS: Windows 11 pro
• CPU: i9-10900k
• RAM: 64GB
• GPU: RX6900XT

Do you have any VPN or Anti Virus installed and running?

I don't have VPN installed. I have Windows Defender and I have tried setting `C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Avorion` as an exclusion, which didn't help.

Can you try to start the server via Multiplayer --> Dedicated Server and then connect with Multiplayer --> Join Lan?
