Factorio Forums

Hello All,

i dont really know if this belongs here, but i run into a problem on my actual play on my server. In general the performance of the game has been really good but with the growth of the factory and the expanding railnetwork the game starts to slow down for a few seconds just to get to the normal level later on. This happens more or less depending on how many trains are on the way (i think, maybe its not).

When i press F5 i see the small clock in the top right corner and flashing really fast during the slowdown and the buffer is going from 1/0/1 to 0/0/1 all the time by constand 60/60 FPS/UPS and is not depending on how many actual updates have to be calculated. I saved the session and tested it offline just on my PC and it works without trouble. The server is running headless on win7. At the time the server is running nothing else is disturbing the calculations and this wasnt a problem in earlier versions of Factorio even at expanded progress.

I can provide the savegame,screenshots and videos if needed.

Greetings,
exi

What about the server log?

The serverlog shows nothing special what could hint into performance or lag issues. Only the savings and the connections from players.

I tested a bit around and even when i reduce the gamespeed to 0.5 the "lag" occurs. So at this point i have absolutely no clue if this is a bug in some calculation from the factorio server or the server itself.
But the fact that this is not dependend on how much updates the server has and that this happens more often when trains are moving around i sounds more like a bug from the server.

Server log has specifications and stuff like the command line and configuration, though.

How can i get these logs? Do i have to switch something on or what?

So here is the serverlog, if anyone want to take a look on this issue...

disable v sync?

Without a save file and steps to reproduce the problem there's not much I can do.

You could also try running some profiler against the process to see what it's doing.

However, since you're the only person Iv'e seen report problems I suspect the issue isn't a problem on our end but some misunderstanding on yours.
