Need help optimizing my Rust server

    I have a dedicated box running..

    Windows server 2008
    Intel E31270 CPU 8 Cores @ ~3.4-3.6 GHz
    16 GB RAM

    Under task manager i have assigned all CPU's to rustdedicated.exe and set priority to HIGH.
    Server FPS will sit generally around 140-150 after a restart but generally during peak times atm the server's FPS drops considerably, people start to experience delays in the server and rubber banding all over the show. So we have been carrying out a range of plugin culling to try and figure out the problem.

    I'd just like to know if it can be the shear amount of plugins on the server or possibly a Plugin itself causing problems and if there is anyway to figure out how to target the source of the problem.
    Or even if there is anything else i can do to increase the servers performance server side. We are running all of this on a brand new dedicated box so if there is anything i could be doing please don't hesitate to post up. any and all help is appreciated :)

    I'd leave the CPU priority at normal, let the server/OS manage CPU resources itself.

    Install this plugin, upload the config first it will help to clean up your server and will help with lag in time you will notice after about 2 hours and as time goes on it will get better

    I will pm them to you

    No, he just listed a bunch of plugins that in his opinion cause issues, but most of them won't generally. Some may use timers which can cause more load, but generally should not be an issue unless they are being abused. Most of the plugins listed are standard plugins that only do something once a hook is called.

    I'd recommend starting with just a handful of plugins until you find a good setup instead of adding a pile of plugins in at once.

    Fixes should be contributed in the plugin's thread, not as a rogue version. ;)

    Some of the ones you removed were pretty basic, you're more likely to have issues with some of the ones you added if there is any lag. ;) Ie. Join Quit Message, ID Lookup, Economics GUI only run when triggered or on command.

    Also, I can almost definitely tell you that if you are using Ping's continuous feature, that is most likely causing your current issue. It's been known to cause issues for others, so I should probably disable it by default.

    Have 70 plugins running and have no lag 99% of the time I find twig decay does help to clean up a lot have it set to clean up twig and wood every 30 mins and it does help. You will never fully get rid of lag but at least what I gave you in pm will help remember no server is lag free

    RustAdmin RCON Tool has a feature to warn/kick high pingers, as an alternative that might work here.
