[QUOTE="CMOGAMING, post: 31, member: 1"] 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.
