Factorio Forums

my friend got some strange issues if he joins our Multiplayer Factorio Server which is hosted via Nitrado.net

its unplayable for him .... frames stuck at 30-40 fps
UPS are stable at 60

if he hosts a game with the same savegame there are no FPS or UPS drops

System Specs:

i7 6800k (not clocked)
Gtx 1080
16 gigs of ram

mods we use :

- ghost-copier_1.0.0
- ModuleInserter_2.0.5
-upgrade-planner_1.4.11

logfile is attached



so thank you in advance!

and sorry for my bad english gramar xD

Tell him to read all of this: 51319, and to post all the requested information if he has further questions.

The log is from your friend, he is hosting (UPC Switzerland) and you are joining (Swisscom).

You mentioned that there are no issues if he is hosting and others join (as in the log file), but there are issues if he joins the Nitrado server. That log from your friend when playing on the server might be helpful.

I noticed however that your friend has set the Steam launch options to "--force-opengl --video-memory-usage=medium --max-texture-size=4096".

He should be able to remove the --force-opengl if his graphics drivers are up-to-date and also the --video-memory-usage since he has 8GB of VRAM. The --max-texture-size was used as a workaround for an issue with new graphics drivers (actually --force-opengl was another workaround for that) but both were resolved when 0.14.22 was released a few months ago.

He should try removing all these launch options (they are all graphical settings), maybe that will help.

If not, then have him post a screenshot with show-time-usage and show-fps enabled (F4 --> 'always' tab --> enable these options).
