Windows Heavy Lag/ Freezing on Dedicated Server

[pvtdragon]

I have been having this issue with my Dedicated Server Recently, and Cannot for the life of me figure it out! We are getting Extreme Freezing/Lag/ Disconnects when opening containers, Picking up vehicles and Driving. This has recently became unplayable in the Desert region and is extremely bad. This however is only when there is more than 1 Person on the server.

We have tried the Following:
Restarting entire save over
Verified Files
Entire new instance on server with fresh files!
There is no Mods on the server!
We have tried with and without EAC!
We have also allowed through firewalls/antivirus on both client and server sides!

Server is Hosted by a Company, and RWG MP

Try adding this to your boot.config file:

This will increase memory utilization doubling it. If it is a memory issue this woudl resolve things.

The other question how long is the server running between restarts?

Are any mods installed? If so remove all mods and see if behavior continues.

Has the OS been stripped and hardened? (removing all unneccessary settings)
I have it working fine on my physical server running Ubuntu server 24.04 with a similar amount of memory with a xeon processor.

Check the OS settings, something at the OS level may be causing issues. If there is antivirus ensure that the 7days folders are exempt from scans as that will cause issues seen.

I have tried adding that to the boot file but the issue is still there!

No mods are installed

Still does it after reboots and all. nothing changes.

Have any windows updates applied recently? There could be a miscreant windows update that is causing the performance issue. Examine task manager to see what is killing the server performance. (vstask.exe)

Examine with a microscope what has changed in the environment.

This could also be a pending hardware failure(memory or hard drive) so you may want to discuss the issue with your web host. And if possible try rebuilding the VM or having them move it to a new hardware host which would eliminate their hardware as being at fault.
