Ok mystery lag - Garry's Mod

Well the problem is that players arn't lagging but if theres alot of props then the props start moving slowly anyone know the cause of this?

Most likely the cause of this would be the server is being overloaded with props. It depends on the specs of the server machine, How many players, How many addons, And how many props are on the server at once.

well there doesn't have to be alot maybe 40 then the props start to lag maybe my tick rate is to high Edit well it used to run fine it just started this i dont really know why

Specs please.

3.00 GHz dual core not sure about the ram Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edit: oh i forgot to tell you i once had a hacker and he uploaded some bad lua somehow threw the source engine glitch i cleaned out the lua folder so idk

That doesn't help us at all. What type of CPU (be specific, not just Pentium, say Pentium 4 3.0Ghz), and what is your down/up internet speed.

List addons and your lua/autorun/ folder

Uh, an addon causing direct server lag, what are you smoking.

Check physics timescale. Whatever hack Lua may have caused problems with it and/or spamming a code to reduce it.

Install FPS booster, set fps_max to 600 in your server config, install pingbooster and set the tickrate to 33. Set sv_maxupdaterate to 16000. [editline]01:13AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Cubar;21174164]You're an idiot.[/QUOTE] You overuse that phrase Cube. Get a new one.

Anyway i think i found the cause it was a addon it was Overv's layers tool i think the module was doing that

[QUOTE=Phoenix_20;21175974]Anyway i think i found the cause it was a addon it was Overv's layers tool i think the module was doing that[/QUOTE] It could also be the mentioned hacker's code. Most malicious Lua code latches on to, or infects other addons. Don't freak out though; there is a lot of security built around Garry's Mod, so the most that Lua viruses can do is, well, this. As in it can't infect the system itself.

yeah but im pretty sure i got it out Edit: just on a sidenote the lua had the url of perp in it when i still had it in the autorun

You still didn't tell us, what fps is your server running at? [editline]06:18PM[/editline] [QUOTE=HeadInjuryGames;21176613]It could also be the mentioned hacker's code.

err i dont know if this is ok but its running around 512 FPS

512FPS is more than enough. As long as the FPS is a good bit higher than your tickrate, it should be fine. You're running on 33 tick, yeah?

err i dont know what im running maybe 100 idk Edit: yeah its 100 should i change it?

Reduce it to 33.

k its 33 now

Yeah the 100 was probably the reason for the lag, too many updates/second for srcds and your server to handle.
