[Server] Overloading

[ThunderDodge]

I have a big server with ~ 26 Players and sometimes the server says in console:

 

Warning can't keep up.

skipping 6-300 frames

 

then the server begins to lag and crash after a time.

Please fix this.

 

I dont know what causes the problem.

It seems to occur, when many players travel to further sectors.

could you post server logs? located at %appdata%/Avorion Folder? Thanks  :)

Server logs is not going to help him. He has too many people and will only get worse. You can't run 26 player server maybe the first day but the more people play the worse it will get sorry.

 

What is your server specs btw?

 

Are you using Steam networking? Make sure it's enabled via logs.

Server logs are for the Devs. The more info they have on what's happening with these overloaded servers the sooner they can fix these problems.

Specs are fine. Right now you cant run populated servers. Seems like anything over 10 people is not stable. Not much to do with the machine.

We getting this error with 6 players too.

 

How do i get a server console via Windows? Does anyone know?

[Naggerknife]

We getting this error with 6 players too.

 

Is it a fresh server with 6 people? Or is it that same server that previously had 26 players and now only has 6?

Reason I said logs are not going to help is because they show shit all. If it's a bad script slowing down or some bad looping or crazy spawns or some physics issues, etc it's not going to show up and give the info you need.

 

Good news is Koonschi working with a group of people to stress test a server he is running and hopfully can solve some the major issues.

 

But most of us running 5+ people servers that have lag issues are not going to have as much luck figuring out the exact causes without better debugging logs.
