Server running at 2 FPS, DDoS?

My server keeps having this issue. Drops to 2fps. Even restarting with no plugins loaded, it's 2fps. Maxing out cpu. I notice that the server only has 2kb/s incoming, but 200-300kb/s outgoing with only a handful of people on.

It takes about 15-20 minutes to clear and the outgoing kb/s drops and fps is back to 600-800.

Any idea what's going on?

 

check this
Rust dedicated server stuck at 2fps | Oxide

 

Yeah found that. Not my issue. Unloaded all plugins on startup and it continued for a good 15mins.

 

maybe someone is dropping a bunch of items in game and this is creating lag?

 

talk to your host if its a ddos they will know

 

I'm the host. I can't see anything really. By ddos, I was meaning something like an attack on rcon which wouldn't generate that much traffic.

 

This is my issue

 

If you are hosting from your own pc and running a client from the same this is why the fps is so low

 

Don't be silly.
[DOUBLEPOST=1487466355][/DOUBLEPOST]Happened again. it's not this plugin.

 

Never said it was a plugin no idea where you got that from I have already said what's causing it

 

yeah, and you're wrong. It's on a dedicated host. The plugin bit wasn't directed at you.

 

When you said you where the host it sounded like you where hosting it from your own pc at your house

 

Well, sorry if that confused. it's dedicated at a datacenter.

 

I see then ask your host it might be something they can fix like a hardware issue

 

I own the gear. It's 2x 2.4ghz cpus, with 8gb memory allocated. It's fine until suddenly sometimes it drops to 2fps and dies. Even upon reboot it sits at 2fps. I've seen other reports of this. Nothing else is running on the system.

 

Just to clarify: A DDoS attack will not lower server FPS. It doesn't have to do with the Rust server's actual performance.

 

Failed join attempts and such shouldn't cause lag. What type of errors are you referring to?

 

Can you disable console output?
