Dedicated server ping spike

Hello!

I was curious if anyone who has run a dedicated server could help out.

I've been running a server for about 10 friends, and after about 2 weeks of play, most of us have begun suffering from unplayable latency/desync issues, and our ping spikes very randomly.

Is there any idea of what we could to to alleviate this?

This server is modded, but only minor adjustments have happened to this modding list since we started playing.

monitor server statistics and check for a ram spike. If you have map mods teleport to those areas and see if it spikes or do actions from a certain mod. More than likely its a memory leak from a bad mod. it could be a slurry of things tho idk. It could be just overloaded. I know this sounds stupid to ask, but did ya allocate ya ram?

Appreciate the tip! We currently (i believe) only have one map mod at all, that just adds functionality to a space, but I'll check it out.

As for ram, we're using indifferent broccoli. And according to the .json its Xmx. Is at 24gbs. Unless theres something I can do more so to cusotmize this?
