#Frame drops and freezes for no apparent reason despite having a decent PC

Hi there!
Recently I have been having sudden and random frame drops and freezing that causes my game to crash on servers I Host... I checked if it could be from my PC Hardware with my limited knowledge and with some help, but all seems fine... I can run other games with no stutter or freezing.
I have quite a few mods on the server, but I had no issues like this in the past.
PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6 Core Processor
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT
RAM: 16GB
I'd appreciate any and all help to fix this issue, thanks 🙂

Can you share your logs.zip file found in C:\Users\YourUserName\Zomboid?

Here, this is it, hopefully

#

The logs show that you assigned 12gb RAM to your game out of your 16gb max

#

A server generally needs a minimum of 4gb

#

Meaning with that, you are already above your total RAM

#

Which would cause a lot of issues

#

On the server that i am currently using, i have assigned 6GB.

#

So i assume i should drop it to 4GB?

#

Sorry i'm far from tech savvy so to be honest, i have nearly no clue what i'm doing hahaha

You should not have assigned 12gb to your game for example

#

You have 16 available, the PC itself needs at least4gb to run, leaves you with 12

#

Go 6 to the server and 6 to the game

#

sorry, how do i change the GB for the game?

trim rune
#

You have already done it, I assumed you would know, since the default is 3gb

#

You edit the ProjectZomboid64.json file and change the -Xmx value
