Server usage

Post by TacTicToe »

Has anyone else seen a massive increase in server CPU usage? Sitting empty now my server is hovering around 28% CPU.

Seems a bit high. Just curious if it is happening to anyone else as well?

CPU usage went way up with the latest update because of the new AI pathfinding code (which is also why servers take so long to start up now -- it calculates the mesh that it uses later in that code). Pathfinding can't currently be disabled, but supposedly they are working on a release that will allow it to be disabled.

Makes sense, but damn. When you launch that server it bogs down my entire monster Chicago box. Needs to be addressed asap. First time I thought the box crashed and did a forced reboot of the box. Its ridiculous. Especially as often as there are updates.
