this is the current mods list, that we have installed:
The Walking Dead Project-Pack;desperateCrafting;lgd_antibodies;ReLght;BetterSortCC;RainCleansBlood;TheStar;QuitSmoking

Are you able to replicate this without mods? Since these types of errors are mainly caused by mod issues

I haven´t tried it yet without mods.
I have to say that I haven´t played PZ for like 10+ years and just started a few days ago again with a friend. Can we safely uninstall all the mods without damaging the safegame? Or do we need to start a fresh game?
And thank you for your fast reply! ❤️
And to confirm - this RAM usage and the dozens of exact same zombies is definitely not normal, correct?

This depends where you got the RAM usage from. Because the server RAM usage can be seen in the Admin Panel > Show Statistics screen
You have to first be an admin to see it with the /grantadmin "Username" command
As for mods, removing them during gameplay is mostly safe, but it will remove the mod items permanently.
Therefore I recommend making a manual backup of the save before you add or remove any mods
The saves are in C:\Users%UserProfile%\Zomboid\Saves\Multiplayer

I have rented the server from g-portal. I rented 7168 (7GB) RAM. The consumption told me up to 7400 MB RAM
I just have deleted all mods and restarted the server.

I would not trust the RAM reports of the hosting services

oh I see what you mean

The way Java works is that it reserves the RAM for itself, meaning you have to check the actual RAM usage and not a RAM monitor
Since Java can reserve 7gb RAM but only use 3gb
But a monitor would still show 7gb "used"
When in actuality it is not
teal grail
how do I do that ingame?
plucky geode
Did Gportal give you an admin account?
teal grail
I have an admin password, yes
plucky geode
It is unliklely that it is a RAM issue though as explained above
teal grail
if that is what it is 😄
plucky geode
You can connect to the server with the "admin" username and that password
Then you have access to the admin features
teal grail
that looks ok, it seems
this is without any mods
I´ve seen there is an admin feature "remove all zombies" when I right click
does that delete ALL zombies, or within a range?
plucky geode
Within the loaded range
You can see the max is set to 7.5 so Gportal might report it as such
Either way the garbage collector would clean it even if it hits the max, you should basically never run out of RAM

Basically how far your character can see
