Server hosting issues from in game ?

[WhoIsThisDuffin]

I need to some help here
i am running on AM4 here with a 5800x3d with 128gbs of ram and with 6tbs of ssds on hand and rocking with a 7900xtx amd gpu why does this game when hosting run smooth at the start but once me and my pals run around say 30 mins into the game the whole server starts to lag and its unplayable is their any way to fix the server issues like hosting heavy loads and stop the errors from happening i was unable to cook food for 1 whole hour until 2 people quit playing the server my pc should be more then enough to host this game for 6 people easy and yet my pc is using almost 50% CPU useage while hosting this game it makes no sense on why this is happening any help on fixing this issue would be helpful

also i run this hosting from ingame i use no other hosting service u have 800mb download speed this should not be a issue

You're right; that's a beefy machine, and it should (in theory) make an excellent server.

Unfortunately, games tend to be single-threaded... and Enshrouded is no exception. What this means is, you're running your local game and your network host on the same thread (ie, CPU core), because they're both running inside the same parent process... which means you've got a single core trying to do all of everything.

Run the dedicated server instead of just hosting your game from the process you're playing on; spreading the workload to additional threads (ie processes, ie CPU cores) should solve your problem.

thank you for the help i have found out that for me to host the game and connect to it i needed to run the enshrouded server exe file not from steam by from the file it self since trying to run the game and host on steam at the same time was causing a error so now i know this issue me and my pals can now enjoy the game while it works i am noticing that with more and more people added to the server the server has component loss for some reason and if the server cant fix it self in time it spirals out of control until it fixes it self and causes lag for server
