High server load

[GreyDev1l.TTV]

Hi so uhh... made a post before about bad ping and such a bit ago.
long story short, ran server through 'survival servers' and they had ♥♥♥♥ service.
moved to gportal and it runs fine when by myself but when a mate joins me it is unplayable for me.
i keep getting 'high server load' warnings but i dont understand, if you are recommending Gportal to run the server then... why should this be coming up? theres only like 2 people on the server.
wonderin if other aussies are suffering like i have cause i love this game and want to experience it with mates.

Mate, have you spoken to Gportal? What did they say, post their response here.

As an Aussie i can say with 100% confidence i don't have this issue, i play on a Gportal server with friends here and NZ and no issues.

I will say though that i think dedicated servers are a waste for this game and only really needed if you don't have the same gaming schedule as your friends as game chunks that haven't been touched in 2 hours will reset anyway.

Something you need to know about Gportal or game server companies in general. They load tons of servers onto the same hardware and we all share the resources. Also enshrouded seems to have a bit of a memory leak issue. If you see that log into your server portal online and create a backup of your world also turn on automatic backup to be safe. Next restart the server. If you still have the issue the server is likely overloaded and you can use that info to get a transfer to a less populated piece of hardware. But you will need your backups to recreate your world. This is not a Gportal specific issue its an everyone issue all companies do this to save the most money and maximize profits.

yeah figured thatd be the case but if you are gonna be all "hey use this company" think there would be i dunno.. better service? the server i got is only limited to 4 but even then... it runs better than survival servers xD
i'll give your recommendation a try, cheers

I'm having the issue and it's just me and my wife sitting in the same room and we are the only two on the server and ping is great but for some reason it started saying high server load and it would cause issues. What is causing it? Is it just the game itself? I do know that we can't play with our friend in Australia because the lag is horrible and it's only that bad with this game. We can play valheim and all other games just fine with her, but this game is basically unplayable if you live far away from each other. Which is why we haven't played with her for a while but my wife and I have been playing the entire time without any issues until today. Just wondering whats going on.

Started getting the same thing this weekend and me and my wife are on a Lan.
Dedicated server in the loft, me and the wife in the same house as the server and we are the only ones on but still getting this msg "High server load" or sometime even "Overloaded server".
This only started to happen this weekend and we have never had it happen before now.
Maybe something in the last update ???

Yeah! This game's netcode is disgusting. I have exactly the same situation. I've already tried everything. I fed it something like ~Ryzen 7 7700 and 32 GB of RAM on a virtual machine. The server is not loaded more than 30% judging by the task manager, but it still writes this crap.

[Scribl]

I'm upset that I can't play with friends on a dedicated server and I want a refund

[Garit Jax]

Well as far as i can see these messages are popping up now and then BUT the server seems to be under a low load.
So i would say it's reporting false... as in there not linked to what the server load actually is and reporting.
I still get these messages but the server runs fine.

Io ho un problema diverso: fino a due giorni fa il servizio di G-portal funzionava egregiamente, da ieri ho dei grossissimi problemi di lag Estremo!!
Ho aperto un ticket e inviato i dati richiesti (WinMTR). Appena mi rispondo vi farò sapere qualcosa.
Unico dettaglio in più che posso fornire è che il mio upload è molto alto e il download è spesso anche inferiore... quando funzionava c'era una proporzione di "1" up e "7" down, ora sono fortunato se sono 1:1...

Just got a notification from GPortal:

" Dear customer,

We would like to share an important change regarding your server with you today.

As you may have already noticed, Enshrouded currently still requires an intensive use of hardware resources in order to offer you the best possible game experience on our servers. Of course, this also has an impact on our costs.

For this reason, we unfortunately have to adjust the prices for our Enshrouded servers.

The good news is that with this price adjustment, we can ensure that your gaming experience is still provided on a stable and reliable server. In order to make the use of resources even more efficient, we are working closely with Keen Games to further improve performance for you as a player.

The current price for your Gamecloud Enshrouded (US East) (8 slots / 30 days) of 12.90 USD will be increased to 17.20 USD. This change comes into effect at the beginning of the billing period following March 22nd.

We understand that price increases are never pleasant and want to assure you that we have not taken this decision lightly. We are aware that this may be an unexpected expense for you.

Please note that the price increase will automatically take effect from the next billing period. However, you do of course have the option to deactivate your server beforehand if you wish.

We at GPORTAL value you as a customer and want to ensure that you continue to be satisfied with our service. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always available to help you.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support."

As of November 10 2024, this issue still persist.

I'm self-hosting my game for 1 other person and I'm getting the exact notification. So far, it seems to pop up when we are really far apart (probably the game engine has to load more stuff?).

No visible impact but who can say.

[GreyDev1l.TTV]

ended up buy a server but even g-portal had issues when i did months ago, the game just eats up so much ram or something, its weird.
I hope they fix it as i do enjoy the game an its visually great, plays fun and building it outstanding!.... but cant enjoy it if i swing, dont hit enemy or enemy instant transmissioning around xD

Necro thread, but still an issue. I play on a hosted server and at times it can give us the 'overloaded' message (and the associated issues like lag) when there is only 2 people on while other times there are 6 people on and the thing runs fine...for a bit.

[RedRedKrovy]

Same issue here. I give it 6 cores and 8GB of RAM. Running it in an Ubuntu container using WINE. CPU usage with two people is around 50%, 30% with no one which is crazy. RAM usage with 2 people stays around 2GB. Still getting server overload with some lagging. Hopefully they make some changes soon. I run multiple home game servers and this is by far the most demanding.
