- Over the past two weeks, we have seen a sharp increase in 75th percentile MSPT (from 45 to 70) and a drop in TPS (from 20 to 14).
- Significant amounts of performance loss are coming from Observer blocks and their interactions, which are responsible for 13-17% of Towny's average MSPT.
- To help alleviate these performance concerns and ensure that all players can enjoy a lag-free experience, we have implemented changes to per-chunk block limits.
- Observer
- top loaded chunks: #1 = 96, #5 = 80, #10 = 80, #20 = 80, #30 = 50
- old limit: 128
- new limit: 80
- Barrel
- top loaded chunks: #1 = 6840, #5 = 388, #10 = 374, #20 = 233, #30 = 212
- old limit: infinite
- new limit: 400
- Dispenser
- top loaded chunks: #1 = 64, #5 = 48, #10 = 42, #20 = 33, #30 = 32
- old limit: infinite
- new limit: 48
- Dropper
- top loaded chunks #1 = 56, #5 = 42, #10 = 36, #20 = 30, #30 = 21
- old limit: infinite
- new limit: 48
- Top loaded chunks are the number of placed blocks observed sorted and grouped by chunks.
- For example: Observer #1 = 96 means that in the given scan of the loaded chunks in the world, 96 was the highest amount found in any chunk.
- We will continue to monitor server performance and community feedback closely, making further adjustments as needed to maintain an optimal balance between gameplay and performance.
- Thank you for your continued support as we work to improve performance and maintain a smooth gameplay experience!
