Hello folks,

Firstly i would like to thank you for your awsome mod and this community where i learnt a lot as i tend to lurk in these forums a lot.

I'm having a strange problem while hosting a particular Alive mission on a rented server. (Not Dedicated)

While on my PC* while i host with TADST the server performance ranges from 15-50 (15 on big cities with alot CQB) on my rented server i'm starting with 0 server fps and mission doesn't spawn the virtual groups when i'm on top of them nor the CQB units.

Players can join, move and do stuff normaly.

Some notes, i use 2 AI Commanders with ~300 Objectives each. Map Al Rayak.
Mods: Alive,CBA,CUP,RHS

Other Alive missions hosted in Tanoa with around same Objectives load fine on rented server with fps range 15-46.

Any advice? (I might need to just lower the AI Objectives to 80 each?)

I can provide the logs if needed.

*i7-4790k @ 4,5Ghz / 16Gb DDR3

Thanks a lot for your answers. I'll do the changes and i'll report back.

Alright after the changes i have some better results but not quite as i would expect.

Both AI Commanders have ~130 Objectives each.

My system runs everything 30-50 server fps, even the CQB in towns with 30 server fps while hosted with TADST. (Mission load time 3-4minutes)

On the other hand rented server is struggling with 5-10 server fps. (Mission load time 15+ minutes!)

I guess i have to keep on reducing objectives? Is it the map that has this problem? Is it my host?

By the way since i saw some people are hosting ALiVE in servers, do any of you have a good one to recommend that can handle the above? (If it's allowed to link that is)

Update: I downloaded the Operation Landlord and it runs butter smooth on the rented server.

On another notice i saw that with my mission the RAM hogs at 2Gb which is i believe the cap for the Arma executable, and with Operation Landlord i'm just at 1,1Gb.

It might be RAM issue?

Heya,
I have been having a raft of fps slow downs. Almost like a memory leak. Plays fine and 10 to 30 minutes in its a slideshow.

Have been testing performance exe's from here:
https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/160288-arma-3-stable-server-162-performance-binary-feedback/page-80#entry3068279

Big improvement for me.

Thanks for the info.

I'll try to contact my host and replace the executable on the server.

I'll update with results.

And yea if you know a host that works good with ALiVE please let me know.

Hello SavageCDN,

I run the Operarion Landlord from the mission here on forum and run perfectly fine with the server fps ranging pretty high. (That only needed ALiVE + CBA)

I also run an Asymetric full map Tanoa with very good results. Server FPS around 20-25 playable.
If i take some time to optimize it for less Objectives it will be much better.

All those on the rented server.
On my machine i never had a problem with anything.

I suspect the problem might be the map? I think it got updated some days ago.
Does that need re-indexing?

I couldn't paste the log because of size.

I uploaded them here: https://mega.nz/#F!lUIXFLqK!oU2BnAkXFIylwN0OEQf9CQ

One file is with ~130 Objectives and another one with ~60 Objectives.

One think i don't get is how can i manage to host + play fine from my machine with TADST but rented server struggles so much. (And i run the game from HDD not even SSD)

I'll try with -noLogs when i'll find some spare time.

Thanks for your time looking at the RPTs.

@SavageCDN I already used Operation Landlord as described above.

@Ludi I'm using the performance executable v10 on server right now but no change on FPS.

Now on some interesting notes. I noticed that when i uploaded the same mission with NO CQB modules and having both AI Commanders linked to Military Module (1200 units) and Civilian Module (1200 units) full map battle in Invasion mode (instead of Invasion-BLU_F and Asymetric-OPF_F) it runs perfectly fine with ~250 Objectives each Commander and server FPS at 30.

Any thoughts on this? Is Asymetric mode + CQB modules heavy for the CPU?
