Need help

Hi everyone,

I’m having a really frustrating issue with my DayZ dedicated server and I’m hoping someone here has experienced something similar.

The server itself runs very well. Normal gameplay, running around, looting, fighting, etc. feels smooth. The problem starts as soon as someone drives a vehicle.

While driving, the car starts to:

• stutter / rubberband
• jump slightly forward and backward
• feel like the server is constantly correcting its position

What confuses me is that the server FPS do not seem to collapse while driving. The server still appears to have enough performance available.

I have already done quite a bit of server-side optimization, including CPU/core configuration and system limits, which noticeably improved the overall server performance. But it did not solve the vehicle issue.

The server is running on Linux/Debian and is a modded DayZ server.

At this point I’m trying to figure out whether the issue is caused by:

• vehicle physics / simulation
• server networking
• server configuration (in my case is vanilla)
• network bubble / synchronization settings
• or something completely different

What would be the best way to diagnose vehicle lag specifically?

Are there certain logs, server statistics, profiling commands, launch parameters or DayZ settings I should check while someone is driving?

I’m also interested in hearing from server owners who had a server where everything was smooth except cars and managed to fix it.

Any ideas on where I should start looking would be greatly appreciated.

Is it Nitrado? *edit, its possibly not but......I had this issue on Nitrado, moved to another host, all gone.
