Lowering game server FPS (Files Per Second) is a important part in making sure your community has a great experience on your game servers, here are some things you can do to possibly improve the overall server FPS.
1. **Adjust Tick Rate:**
- Lower the server tick rate to reduce processing overhead, especially during high player counts.
2. **Limit AI/Animal Spawns:**
- Reduce the number of dynamic AI, zombies, and animal spawns to lessen the server’s CPU load.
3. **Optimize Network Bandwidth:**
- Set proper bandwidth limits for each client to avoid flooding the network and affecting server FPS.
4. **Limit Player Slots:**
- Reduce the maximum number of players allowed on the server to prevent server overload.
5. **Optimize Loot Respawn Rate:**
- Increase the interval for loot respawn to reduce the frequency of server resource usage.
6. **Disable Unnecessary Mods:**
- Remove or disable mods that add unnecessary objects, AI, or features that increase server load.
7. **Reduce Object Count:**
- Limit the number of objects, bases, or persistent items on the map to prevent the server from being overloaded with updates.
8. **Use a Dedicated Machine:**
- Ensure the DayZ server runs on a dedicated machine with sufficient CPU, RAM, and SSD storage for fast data access.
9. **Optimize Database Queries:**
- Reduce the frequency of database queries or optimize them to minimize delays and overhead.
10. **Monitor and Control Resource Hogging:**
- Track CPU, memory, and disk usage to identify bottlenecks and adjust server settings accordingly.
11. **Set Proper Garbage Collection Intervals:**
- Adjust server garbage collection intervals to manage memory usage and prevent performance dips.
12. **Limit Base Building Structures:**
- Reduce the number of structures a player can build to avoid excess object processing.
13. **Optimize Server Hardware:**
- Upgrade to a higher-clocked CPU, increase RAM, and use SSDs for faster data retrieval and improved performance.
14. **Disable Unused Logging:**
- Turn off or reduce detailed logging that can slow down the server due to constant file writes.
15. **Balance Mods and Map Size:**
- If using mods that expand the map, ensure they are balanced with the player count and server resources.
16. **Use Headless Clients:**
- Offload AI and physics calculations to headless clients or separate servers to distribute processing load.
17. **Limit Physics Interactions:**
- Reduce the number of physics-based interactions (e.g., vehicle collisions, ragdolls) to decrease processing demand.
18. **Use Proper Server Affinity:**
- Assign the DayZ server process to specific CPU cores that are less likely to handle other intensive tasks.
19. **Implement Proper Restarts:**
- Schedule regular server restarts to free up memory and reset the environment, improving server stability.
20. **Monitor Mod Updates and Patches:**
- Keep mods and the server up to date with optimized versions or patches that improve performance.
