Generally, doing the map design with what I'm presuming is going to be photoshop will always lead to issues with the weird mountains and stuff, id recommend getting an actual terrain editor and making the map that way, or at least importing the heightmap into it and editing it there. a good, free pr...

the terrain buffer saves all paving and terraforming the objects buffer saves things like chests, barrels, carts, etc. the buildings buffer saves things like warehouses, walls, anything thats built Id recommend putting the buffer for all of them at around 4-6 depending on how much you want to save f...

Its a combination of High CPU priority and 6 GBs of extra RAM, the ram was the main part holding me back because once you reach the cap the server terminates the file. so make sure you get the extra ram

Found out some more info, make sure you use 6gb+ of RAM, thats what it took to get a full DB restore and eventually a full map refresh, i'd be on the cautious side and get more than 6 but right now 6 seems to be working.

Yeah it was PingPerfect, granted at the time i didnt know the person i was developing for didnt have high CPU priority / extra RAM. So make sure if you do use them to get the high CPU priority and extra RAM usage for the custom maps.

Figured out what it was for people also having this issue

In essence, the server provider was throttling the CPU when it started to load all the geo_patch changes to the navmesh, the only way to get around this is to purchase high CPU priority or have your providers do it for you.

yes but is it normal for the server to go to PID of 0 (in essence full shutdown) when it reaches this point? i have since done a restore and im now just trying to gather info for my next attempt.

Also the server will stop running when it gets to that point as well after hanging for a few minutes Just did it again ECHO 2019-01-04 11:41:04.235 {02} <createWorld> [0] applying 9584 obj changes of ter#442 to navMesh#1650 ECHO 2019-01-04 11:41:07.958 {02} <createWorld> [0] applying 3209 forest cha...
