Hello Everyone!

I would appreciate some tips/suggestions regarding server performance.

A few weeks ago, I made a server using Kittens DayZ:SA. Was just meant for me and a few friends, however, it has taken off more than expected in a short period of time. Averaging 50 to 90 players daily. I had to upgrade the server.

We were originally using 400 Zombie NPCs using FCNPC.

Most of our players are from Russia, and other countries. My friends and I are in the U.S.

Here's my dilemma:

As players start increasing, movement of players and zombies start "jerking" or "sliding", even for me with my ping averaging 60 to 90.

Here's my servers specs:

Intel Xeon E3-1270v3 Quad Core 3.50 GHz
16GB RAM
160 GB Samsung SSD
1GB Network Card

This is a Dedicated server, NOT a VPS.

We've tried decreasing to 200, still, players movements are not "smooth".

Any suggestions/tips would be appreciated.

The specs you mentioned here are way more than, enough for your server.

The lag could be due to your gamemode.
Is your hosting provider's network stable? The connection issues can be due to unstable data center's network.

Some code optimisations - https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=57018

As mentioned above, the lag could be due to several reasons. If you use MySQL, are you using threaded queries, are there useless variables declared, is your mysql_debug() mode on, are there unnecessary loops or extra loops (use foreach) or are there huge enums like [MAX_PLAYERS][MAX_VEHICLES] which use (500 * 500) cells. As such no direct solution exists, but you can always use Zeex's performance profiler.
