Small Lags during lots of Zombies

[Tef-Tef]

So I'm playing on a closed dedicated server, no mods... and whenever there's a lot of zombies involved, say Horde night or we're doing a Tier 5 mission... we get small but very annoying lags... Like Zombies all freezes on place... then warp few Meters away/closer to you then Stops... and then warp again few meters.

Specially noticeable during horde nights... you aim at a zombie... its not moving... pull the trigger and it warps away 2-3m... stops... you aim again, shoots... warps away...

I'm playing with friend.. I got my game all on max settings so I figured even with a 2080GTX it COULD be my computer lagging... but a friend of mine plays on LOW settings to have a maximum performance, dont care about graphics... and he gets the same lagginess as I do at the same time.

Is it a "normal" known limitation of the Game Engine? or is there a setting we can fix for this?

Thanks!

GPU doesn't matter. Game is CPU and HDD intensive. Sounds like you are either running out of usable RAM, or bottlenecking on the CPU.

Could be on the clients, or could be a server-side FPS issue as well.

More details on the hardware involved, and on the server settings, would be useful to help you work around it.

As mentioned by Sylen it sounds like a CPU issue if it's caused by active zombie count.

As for it being a known limitation of the game engine, I play on an old I7 throttled down to 2GhZ (for heat issues) and a 1070ti, and I do not get the rubberbanding you describe during a 64 zombie blood moon. So I would have to say no, it's not inherent to the engine.

Check the servers power profile and be sure it's set to 'high performance' mode. Do a clean install with the latest gpu driver just to rule that out. And, be sure the video settings have things like shadows and reflections turned down or off....this will greatly improve performance.

i have same the problem but... But they appear after a few hours of playing, the original zombie of the game runs but doesn't move and the mod zombie is working properly. I use with some XML mods! my server is e5-2690 32gb ram dd3 ecc main huananzi x79! 128Gb ssd!
