Wyvern Spawn Out of Control!
Almost 50 here (only what's visible on screenshot):
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1506599929

And I have no idea here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1506537244

On the first screenshot, I had no idea there was a cave there. Above ground there are hardly any creatures and the place is normally filled with beavers, brontos, stegos... etc. Also, my framerate drops to almost nothing here.

What is going on? I have done nothing to increase the spawn rate of wyverns and there is no reason to increase it anyway.

No this is is perfectly normal. It's the other wyvern spawn area on Rag besides the volcano scar. with 4300 hours I'm mildly surprised you weren't aware of it already, but to be fair to you there is a lot to see and do and find on Ragnarok alone. I'd consider 50 in the realm of overspawning though. On my server we have gone into that cave to get eggs as a tribe event before, and while there were plenty of wyverns around, I don't think there were 50.

There were enough that it is reducing the overall spawn of all other creatures and the framerate when I am over that area.

Btw, can you tell me where the entrance is? I was using ghost to see if any dinos had fallen through the ground and were causing the massive framerate drop.

There is definatly something wrong there. There is usually 8-12 wyverns in the cave and about 20 outside. A wild dino wipe might fix it.

Seeing that ball of wyverns behind you is pretty amusing though. And a ton of experiance if you can kill them all.

Yeah, I am max level and so is my Argent. I tried it though... In the middle of the battle I changed my mind and took off. My Argent is only a tad faster so couldn't outrun them but they did eventually give up.

I did do a dino wipe but this isn't the first time this has happened. I had this framerate issue in that area before and a dino wipe fixed it but I didn't know at the time what had caused it.

I tried using DestroyAll Wyvern_Character_BP_Base_C but it didn't work. I don't want to have to do dino wipe every time it happens as there are dinos out there waiting to be tamed xP

What if any mods are you using on the server? Sometimes the interaction with a particular mod and map can cause issues like this.

If you had a high level wyvern, easily. Especially if you dont mind cheats in your SP game.

I've read multiple times that Classic Flyers does that to Wyverns. Last I time I checked was 6 months to a year ago, so might not be the case anymore. Still a place to start looking.

EDIT: Just double checked and it still seems to be a problem. From Classic Flyers FAQ/Bug Report.

"Wyverns/Pelas/Quetzals overspawning all over the place? This is what we've termed the overspawn issue. Particular species of dinos overspawning on a map is a core-game issue that can happen when any remap mod, like this one, is used. It is a recognized bug by WC but is not considered a priority fix by them. Please see the FAQ and Changes to CF's Culling System discussion for more information on the overspawn issue and how CF corrects for it."

I have experienced the same bug. I also have Classic Flyers. This is how my argie maxed it's levels on my hunt for a wyrven egg. I'm going to try the fix from the classic flyers FAQ:

Thanks. I have never noticed an overspawn of Quetzals. I have barely seen any at all O.o
