Hey, thats an error from the game itself. It could be a connection issue or someone in the group has a high ping. CPU should handle the load though.

But for better help, try searching or asking in the Enshrouded Discord. There are also reports from people running it on native windows as well.

Hey @SugiuraAyano, did you find a solution for your problem? Is there anything I can do?

from enshrouded-server.

I got the same issue, as soon as a 4th guy connected server put out the above error, and crashed shortly after.
I set the player count manually to 6 and it worked but was supper laagy afterwards. There is something wrong with the netcode of the game i think.

Yes it's the same for me. I have a VPS with 4 cores, 8GB RAM and SSD. That should be enough but it's very laggy.
The log is full of this entries.

My guess we can for now only wait for updates and in the meantime beef up the hardware the server is running on.

@immertroll The 4 vcores are probably not running at high clock speeds. You should check your system utilization. And check if you are using the proton image. That helps at least a little.

This is definitely a game/netcode optimization problem imho.
I will note that after moving my VPS to a closer host location I noticed a big improvement in server "stability" and a reductrion in Pending packets list is full logs.

Ping before moving my VPS location was ~70-80ms, after moving it's ~30-40ms. I feel like the reduction in round trip latency has helped the server "keep up" so to say.

Thanks for your hints. The proton version is much more performant. Now it's playable.

from enshrouded-server.

I'm closing this for now. I switched the default image to proton to get the most performance out of docker.

Feel free to reopen if there is something I could change to optimize the image.
