The server console can help you to do that. Try to fix errors to improve server performance. If your server consumes many resources without a connected player (CPU is> 5%), likely, the configuration is not optimal.Ĭheck the server logs regularly (live console accessible through your manager). Some tracks to check if you have a crash/lagĬheck the CPU consumption of your server (visible in your manager). This is especially true on servers with more than 30 players a wrong configuration of your server can quickly cause a drop in performance/stability.


Raw power can not make up for everything!

It should not be overlooked that Garry's Mod server-side is not multi-threaded ( the server application uses only one processor core at the same time). Most of the time, it does not come from a lack of resources, but from a wrong configuration of the server (a poorly coded plugin, the presence of errors in the console, missing models/textures, etc.). GMod doesn't crash or lag without any reason.
