Hey everyone!

Im struggling with balancing my server. A few times when weve onyl had 6 ot 7 players on in the same location the server gets bogged down to 10 fps for all clients and then damage stops registering for AI. Im using the script version of Vcom, ALiVE, CBA, TFAR, RHS, Spyder addons, CUP terrains, and Isla Duala. The server is a i7-7700K @4.20 GHZ, 4 x 16 GBS of RAM, 2 x 450 GB hard drives.

Im getting a lot of Object not found (Message type_93) and Object not found (Message type_121) messages but it looks like those are related to things depsawning.

Then for my HCs I have two Headless Client modules placed on mission way off to the side that are both playable with the roles descriptions of hc1 and hc2. I added

// HEADLESS CLIENT
headlessClients[] = {"127.0.0.1","My server IP"}; // list of IP addresses allowed to connect using headless clients; example: {"127.0.0.1", "192.168.1.100"};
localClient[] = {"127.0.0.1","My server IP"}; // list of IP addresses to which are granted unlimited bandwidth; example: {"127.0.0.1", "192.168.1.100"}

to the bottom of my server.cfg

I open two terminals and run
./arma3server -client -nosound -connect=localhost -port=2302 -password=ServerPassword -mod=My client side mods.

then the HCs connect to the server and fill the HC slots as they should

Hey guys thanks for the replies! Heres my rpt

I haven't had a bunch of people on and testing since I added HCs so hopefully that will help as well. Thanks Ill try turning down camps too

@marceldev89 Probability is set to 2%, density is set to "off". ^^

What would you recommend for density?

Thats what I always thought too

Ohhh so very high is the lowest density of CQB buildings?
