| 8 | +# FiveM Server Performance Optimization: Best Practices & Tips |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +Running a smooth FiveM server requires careful optimization and regular maintenance. This comprehensive guide will walk you through proven techniques to enhance your server's performance and reduce lag. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Understanding Server Performance Metrics |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +Before diving into optimization, it's crucial to understand key performance indicators: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +- **Server tick rate**: Ideal range is 48-60ms |
| 17 | +- **CPU usage**: Should stay below 80% |
| 18 | +- **Memory consumption**: Monitor for memory leaks |
| 19 | +- **Network latency**: Target < 100ms for optimal gameplay |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## Essential Server Configuration Tweaks |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### Basic server.cfg Optimization |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +```lua |
| 26 | +# Performance-related settings |
| 27 | +set onesync on |
| 28 | +set onesync_population false |
| 29 | +set sv_enforceGameBuild 2944 |
| 30 | +set sv_clockSync true |
| 31 | +set sv_scriptHookAllowed 0 |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +# Connection settings |
| 34 | +sv_maxClients 48 |
| 35 | +set sv_endpointPrivacy true |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +# Network optimization |
| 38 | +sv_scriptHookAllowed 0 |
| 39 | +set sv_forceIndirectListing true |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +### OneSync Configuration |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +OneSync is crucial for server performance. Here's how to optimize it: |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +1. Enable OneSync Legacy |
| 47 | +2. Configure entity culling |
| 48 | +3. Set proper population density |
| 49 | +4. Adjust streaming range |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +## Resource Management |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### Script Loading Order |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Optimize your resource loading sequence: |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +1. Core framework resources |
| 58 | +2. Database connections |
| 59 | +3. Essential game mechanics |
| 60 | +4. Optional features |
| 61 | +5. Non-essential scripts |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +### Resource Monitoring |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +```lua |
| 66 | +# Add to server.cfg |
| 67 | +set game_enableTaskScheduler true |
| 68 | +set game_enableOptimizedScheduler true |
| 69 | +``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +## Database Optimization |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +### MySQL Performance Tips |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +1. Implement connection pooling |
| 76 | +2. Use proper indexing |
| 77 | +3. Regular database maintenance |
| 78 | +4. Query optimization |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +```sql |
| 81 | +-- Example of an optimized query |
| 82 | +SELECT * FROM players |
| 83 | +WHERE last_seen > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 7 DAY) |
| 84 | +INDEX(last_seen); |
| 85 | +``` |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +## Common Performance Issues and Solutions |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +### Script-Related Problems |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +1. **Memory Leaks** |
| 92 | + - Monitor resource memory usage |
| 93 | + - Implement garbage collection |
| 94 | + - Regular server restarts |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +2. **CPU Bottlenecks** |
| 97 | + - Identify heavy scripts |
| 98 | + - Implement async operations |
| 99 | + - Optimize loops and functions |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +### Network Optimization |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +```lua |
| 104 | +-- Network configuration |
| 105 | +setr voice_useNativeAudio true |
| 106 | +setr voice_useSendingRangeOnly true |
| 107 | +set sv_maxConcurrentResources 100 |
| 108 | +``` |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +## Advanced Optimization Techniques |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +### Entity Management |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +1. **Entity Culling** |
| 115 | + ```lua |
| 116 | + -- Add to your resource manifest |
| 117 | + lua54 'yes' |
| 118 | + game 'gta5' |
| 119 | + fx_version 'cerulean' |
| 120 | + ``` |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +2. **Stream Distance** |
| 123 | + ```lua |
| 124 | + -- Optimized streaming distance |
| 125 | + SetStreamDistance(500.0) |
| 126 | + ``` |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +### Performance Monitoring Tools |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +1. **Server Monitoring** |
