Dedicated server performance issues

[wrex]

We play on a dedicated server from the service provider g-portal. There are only three of us playing on a 6-slot server. After a few days on one map (Olympus/Prometheus), the server becomes extremely laggy or hardly playable despite various restarts. Mind you, I'm not talking about fps problems. The fps are fine. Incidentally, the ping is not the problem either and is always between 20 and 50 for the three of us. We are now looking for another provider. Does this make sense at all or is the game still so underperforming that it can't handle three players who also want to build a bit (not even excessively)? We would be happy to receive tips if you have any! We would like to continue playing the game at the end of the day. Many thanks in advance!

Try taking your server files from g-portal and setup a server on one of you or your friends machines. Same PC you play from is fine too. If you run the same prospect on one of your machines and it runs fine then it's definitely the g-portal server sharing model that's tripping you up. You don't get your own server on those providers, they give you an allotment of resources on a virtual server that are "yours." Doesn't mean those resources will ever have priority or full unfettered access to the data bus ect. The physical server is juggling all the virtual servers on it at the same time.

Yeah most server providers have "grades" you can pay extra for. Like higher cpu priority, higher ram etc
