Dedicated Server lag driving my crazy. Help

[Naféasonto Ku'Jashir]

So I run a server with a healthy population. After a few hours the server starts to lag. I use all the tools available, such as RAT.

Now, here is my stats, I run my server on a 2016 VM on a Dell host. THe stats are:

1. PowerEdge R720 with Duel E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz

2. 256GB of ram, of which 16GB is dedicated to the VM.

3. 8 CPU's are dedicated to the VM.

4. The server is running on a 10 RAID of 10K drives.



The server lagging after awhile makes no sense, this is with about 25 people.



It gets annoying to the players that I have to restart every few hours to fix this. What is causing this lag after awhile. Everyone's ping is below 100, some as long as 10.



What is causing this, the rubber banding gets worse and worse etc. Zombies don't move.



Can I get some help on this please.

I'm not going to have the same discussion on two forums. I already responded to you here[community.7daystodie.com].
