B42 server lag zombies disappearing

[maiden oar]

My friend and I created a server, and we don’t have any issues with RAM or CPU usage. We allocated 15 GB of RAM to the server. However, when we encounter large hordes, they start getting deleted, and I experience lag. My friend doesn’t have this issue because he’s hosting the server on his own PC. What can we do to fix this? we almost see no zombies now very few

Did you increase the zombie numbers significantly? Servers only allow around 300 - 500 zombies in an area before they are removed

If the spawn is too high, they will be often removed

no we didint touch anything we even reduced zombie count before deletion but it didint help

[tame flume]

You mean increase it?

Decreasing it would delete more zombies

[maiden oar]

Sorry, I mistook it for the dead body deletion option. I didn’t change that setting.

Try increasing it to 500, might help a bit in your situation

but the problem is when zombies get to much i get lagged and the host too and i have to leave and restard the server

[tame flume]

Lower the zombie population then

[maiden oar]

but we want to keep the population isnt there a log or something to see whats the problem?

[tame flume]

I am not sure I understand
You are saying a lot of zombies lag your game since your PC cannot keep up and you crash

But you do not want to lower the zombie population..? So you stop crashing?

[maiden oar]

no im saying we are getting server lagand we have no pc problem

[tame flume]

Right here, if you have too many zombies you have issues

So the answer is less zombies

[maiden oar]

so there is no way for us to improve the server without lowering zombie population then?

[tame flume]

Not based on the info you provided, since you said that large zombie hordes cause lag for you
