My issue is that my Sandbox server lags on some light player usage.
We can get it to around 16+ players with some small creations but it seems to get plenty of lerp.
I was wondering if there was any commands for the server console to heighten the abilities of the server. Currently it is only using around 5-7% CPU Usage at max and around 800MB of ram, which is not much at all.
I have scoured for hours and have had no luck as I cannot find another place this question is asked and answered.
Hoping someone can give me an answer to help with making my server stronger.
Uh.
More information....
RAM, CPU, Network speed, etc.
8GB ram, a E3-1271v3 processor, and a 1Gbps link. It's a decently powered dedicated box.
Windows server 2012, garrys mod is the only server running on it currently.
Anything else?
Bump? I really hate struggling with a seemingly weak server. :/
Edit:
Maybe its a tickrate issue or something? I really need help with this: though if it is tickrate, how would I go about changing it to a stronger number to handle the server load..
Still searching and haven't founded anyone.
What issue are you actually having? 'Plenty of lerp' isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Essentially unplayable amounts of lerp, e.g. some simple creations and tons of people just running around doing around nothing, yet I lag just handling 20-30 players.
Anymore than a few contraptions and 14-20 players and we're lagging around the same.
My big issue is that I would like to help take care of this issue by having the server work harder, which it isnt doing quite much at all being that it rarely uses more than 5% of my CPU usage.
Can you share your server's config and a list of installed addons?
autoexec.cfg
[CODE]hostname "Nano-Gaming |SProps|WireMod|AdvDupe|M9K|MORE"
rcon_password "HIDDEN"
sbox_godmode 0
maxplayers 32
map gm_flatgrass
host_workshop_collection 434484850
sv_alltalk 3[/CODE]
Startup Command
[CODE]srcds.exe +maxplayers 32 -console -tickrate 100 -authkey HIDDEN +host_workshop_collection 434484850[/CODE]
[URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=434484850"]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=434484850[/URL]
That is my collection that is used for the server.
Other than some lua to help with forcing addons through resource.AddWorkshop, there's nothing else really custom other than some administration addons and configuration with ulx.
Wow, 100 tickrate.
What if you put it down to the standard 66 tick???
I honestly dont think -tickrate 100 works. Its something I put it after looking up original Source games like CS:S and HL2DM use those, but they don't quite work right. Nothing was noticed different or changed.
Anything at all guys?
-Seriously don't know if it's against the rule since this is technically a bump.
maybe try removing
m9k addons
all npc and npc tools
playx/media player
hitnumbers? (not sure)
pac3
piano
This might not change a thing, if it doesn't then you're free to add them all back.
If it does change a thing then reenable them one at a time until they are fixed.
you can also type net_graph 4 in console to see what the highest volume of netmessages etc is. If something sticks out over others then you have a culprit and you should work to see which addons will fix it.
Thank you, I will attempt this when I get home from work, hopefully I can find something.
Currently we moved slot amounts down to 20 players to cap our server to stop overflowing amounts of players.
Still wondering if anyone has found a way or if I'm missing something to enable higher cpu and memory usage

There is no magic command that unlocks your server. Either yo have addons that are lagging, something poorly configured (that tickrate) or a shit hosting platform. Higher tickrate is more intensive but for sandbox possibly 33 will be fine.
