Hello,
I've recently setup a TTT server running on a VM. The VM is on a dedicated ESXI server with an Intel Xeon E3-1245V2, 16GB RAM and a gigabit NIC. At the moment, the GMod server is the only VM running. It has 2 vCPUs and 4GB RAM assigned to it.
When the player count gets above 20 players begin to experience movement lag. This occurs most noticeably at the start of a round once the preparation timer hits 0, but is intermittent throughout the duration. I've checked resource usage on the VM when this occurs, RAM isn't above 50% and the overall CPU utilisation sits around 30% (core #1 hovers around 50%, core #2 around 10%).
I'm running in the region of 65 addons, the majority of which are maps. The only addons to the actual game mode are ULX and around 10 additional weapons.
I've attached my config below, off the back of the lag experienced, I've lowered the tick rate from 66 to 33 but it has made no noticeable difference.
Any guidance would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

In game enable the net graph with "net_graph 1" in console. When the server lags does anything in the net_graph window change or dip below what a number it's normal at? From what I can tell when the text lerp starts getting yellow it's due to the servers cpu maxing out. If packet loss increases is could mean not enough bandwidth.
Also, TTT isn't well optimized, you might want to profile the gamemode and tweak it yourself.
Check all yours addons with [url]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=682765484[/url]
And delete the useless addons from tour server.
It's maybe surcharge of CPU you Can use : [url]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=793317003[/url]
Tickrate : 25
And test value of netcode on your server
