Hammelpilaw Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Servers on version 0.16.0 got some issues with server load: even with 0 players online, and 0 sectors in memory, the server load is constantly at 100% when the galaxy is huge, the systems cpu usage keeps about 25%. Also there may sometimes be huge lags in game. The server load is related to the amount (and maybe size, can't say) of already generated sectors. If you delete all sectors of the galasy and start the server again, the usage keeps <1% when no sector is alive. I already reproduced this in a fresh vanilla galaxy: when there were about 100 sectors with npc factions generated, the server load was at 2% with no sector in memory. Steps to reproduce: Create a new galaxy at version 0.16.0 Print out server load with 0 sectors in memory: it will be 0% Generate at least 200 sectors with some stuff in it (better 1000 or even more sectors) Print out server load with 0 sectors in memory: it will be higher then 0 and get up to 100% when there are many generated sectors This did not happen in 0.15.8. We are using a Windows server, but I've talked to other server admins, using Linux, and they got the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxelware Team koonschi Posted March 31, 2018 Boxelware Team Share Posted March 31, 2018 So you're saying that server load increases for servers with lots of generated sectors, even when these sectors aren't loaded in memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammelpilaw Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 So you're saying that server load increases for servers with lots of generated sectors, even when these sectors aren't loaded in memory? Yes. The more sectors exist on hard disk, the higher the server load will be. Even when only one sector is in memory, server load increases up to 100% depending on the amount of existing sectors. I do not know if it also depends on entities existing in these sectors or so. But the more sectors exist in the galaxy, the higher the server load will be. When you delete all sectors of a galaxy from disk, the server load will be <1%, even if it was constantly at 100% before you deleted sectors.
