Hello! First-time owners for an FTB server here and we could definitely use some help.
We are renting our server on BisectHosting since I have had a good experience there in the past. We are currently running FTB Revelation and a few plugins.
We have pre-chunk loaded a huge area of the world so as to prevent the server from having to work very hard generating new chunks (That’s how it works right?) Although we seem to have consistent lag spikes every 15-20 seconds or so and it lasts for a few seconds and if it’s really bad it can last up to 10 seconds. These are the messages we receive when stuff like this happens:
“Can’t keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? Running 2866ms behind, skipping 57 tick(s)
Can’t keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? Running 6425ms behind, skipping 128 tick(s)”
I have been reading up on a few different articles for FTB Server optimization and someone recommended to remove Aromacore, which we did and it may have helped a little, but still having pretty rough lag. What additional things can we do to prevent as much lag as possible? Thanks!
BackGround info:
Memory: 4608MB
No way to run our own .bat file on startup, unfortunately, so no way to modify that.
