Dedicated Server Recommendations

[FKingDegen]

I currently use GPortal and have used Bisect in the past. Bisect was great for a time with other games and I'm having nothing but issues with GPortal. I have a regular 8 to 10 players at all times of the day. Who would you guys recommend and why?

(Issues with GPortal extend from player disconnections, extreme lag on all player counts, frequent crashes, trees bcoming magic and flying into the sky never to be seen again)

Assuming you're all sharing an open world that you're having the issues in, it might be a case of the save file getting too bloated to run smoothly. Basically too many structures/deployables/tames on the map. I can't offer a recommendation for a server but switching providers wouldn't really fix that, right?

You can try setting your prospect up on your own rig to see if you end up with the same issues. Or create a fresh map on GPortal to see if the issues are save related?

We've tried and the same issues conastantly. When we have 3 players online and everyone and the map is fresh it does this.

We are curious about This. We have Been using gportal and experienced quite a lot of lag and server instability. However, We always assumed Its more to do with game performance and optimization in terms of time spent in the same open world and the amount of stuff built, tames etc.

Anyone Got better experiences with other providers?

I've started testing with Sparked and my players and I put some stress on it. There is way less lag. When my players with higher latency get on we have to double harvest, but so far thats it. I had 6 players online at once and with GPortal we would have crashed 72 times by now.

I imagine connection speed to the server is a BIG factor...
20 Mbps maybe too slow...
300 Mbps... Now we're talk'in :)

Having players connect to the server with the same speeds would be ideal...
Probably having the same service provider may help too...
Spanning a connection, over multiple network services, may experience lag or disconnect problems...

Unfortunately, I have players from around the world and having the same everything is impossible.

Spanning the world...
Old network elements may still exist that need replacements or upgrades...
Upgrading or replacements can be...expensive.

Believe me when I say, "I've seen it..."
Sometimes, I am surprised it even works...lol :D
Not this piece of network equipment...again... :(

I thought the max players in multiplayer is 8. am I wrong?
