OnyxShadow Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 At first I couldn't figure out what it was. Today I found out what was the cause of all the lag that's been consistently increasing. I've been adding a few mods at a time to the server I host with a friend. The difference is astounding. With ten mostly very minor mods I show up as a "bad host", and the game is barely playable even for me. After having a light bulb go off in my head I turned off all mods, and the server suddenly runs perfectly. Instantly I'm a "good host" (not just "okay host" like a few days ago with only about 6 mods). For the record, here are all the mods I'm using (going from first added to most recently added): Where's My BeefaloMinimap HUDSoulmatesGesture WheelDisplay Food ValuesCraftable GearsWormhole MarksDetailed TooltipsRegenerationSmarter Crock Pot Maybe its just me, but none of those seems like it should have a very significant impact on the game's performance and network latency. I really hope that functionality with mods improves because those things add a lot to quality of life and even moreso to the game's replayability.

tetrified Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Turn them on one at a time and test them. I recommend a binary search approach instead, it'll get the job done faster if it's just one "problem mod".

OnyxShadow Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Turn them on one at a time and test them. There is a problem with that solution. Its not one specific addon that is broken and causing an enormous amount of lag by itself. I added the mods gradually over time, and the lag gradually increased. Its not like I had six mods and everything was fine, and then when I added two more suddenly it was unplayable.

Ridley Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I assume that the game is having to check on the mods more and more as you add them. When 4 people are playing with 6 mods, it may be straining the game to check the conditions of 6 different mods on 4 different computers. Or I could be completely wrong. Maybe grouping the small mods together into one mod would reduce the load.
