95% Usage GMOD, help please.

[grox422]

My server is hitting the 95% usage because it using darkrp with addons from the workshop that is really needed for the server. In the past I was able to disable the 95% usage if I made a support but now I am told that its being more strict about it, I am wondering if I could get it disabled again?

I have done so far:
*tickrate 22 (Any lower and the server's addons act funky.)
*Lowering settings of addons (Doesn't help)
*Player slot is 40 (Used to have 80 slots with you guys and it was full alot of the times but only worked when the 95% usage was disabled.)

I just request for the auto-restart to be disabled.

Ask for it to be disabled in a support ticket. High CPU usage is very common and expected on a large RP server.

Thanks Soja, but they won't do it, unless a tech or something looks at it.

You may need to rent a managed VDS then. GMOD is a sandbox game and its very easy to max out a core with any player count. I'm surprised NFO won't remove that restriction though. As far as I know it is meant to stop servers from improperly using CPU, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

On a VDS you will have the ability to remove the restriction on your own.

@Soja, thanks probably planning to do that in the future again, but I was just wanting to start off small and this is crazy with a 40 slot atm and won't even support it.

[soja]

at 40 slots your price would only go up $4, and you would be able to run another 40 slot server on top of what you already use.

[grox422]

@Soja which one would you recommend with room for future servers? like cores and stuff.

[soja]

4-core to start is your best option

A VDS is a good option, but it's hard to say how beneficial that will be to you. Eventually, you will hit a point where you'll have to fix the CPU issue. My concern is that you're at 22 tick and using more then a core. If this hasn't already happened, ask us if there's a faster machine at your location. If there is we'd be glad to move you to it. Though, again, that won't solve the problem forever.
