Optimization Tips

Here are some server side options to boost stability and ensure a smooth experience for all the players:

Adjust Auto-Save Settings

  • Increase your auto-save interval from 5 minutes to 10 minutes
  • Disable save compression by setting "CompressSaveFiles" to false in your ServerHostSettings.json. This reduces CPU load during saves.

Restart the Server

If players suddenly report high ping or disconnections, perform a simple restart from your control panel. This can often resolve temporary hiccups or memory leaks.

Check player connections

  • Ask players not to use VPNs or "ping boosters" — these often make things worse.
  • Use wired connections instead of WiFi where possible.

Check for Firewall Issues

If you or your friend are using restrictive firewalls, these might be blocking the connection.
