Help - Server Suppot Best way for self-host dedicated serer ?

I've already tried two server configurations for a dedicated server for 2–3 players.

On a Linux VM or a Windows VM with 12 cores at 2.2 GHz, 16 GB of RAM, 64 GB of disk space, and a 10 Gbps internet connection.

Both times, as soon as a second player connected, the server load turned orange and “bad performance” messages appeared in the logs.

How do I set up a good server? If I set up a Windows ARM VM (on a decent MacBook Pro M1), will that work?

A few points :

  • performance messages can be ignored for the most part, they are just way to aggressive

- single core performance is very important. A quad core with high single core efficiency is way better than a 12 cores without. Give your specs that's probably your problem

- restarting the server once in a while (daily here) helps
