I’ve been hosting a Tarkov server for some friends (SP Tarkov with FIKA). I also set up a headless client to run the AI calculations and WOW it is RAM hungry. The server froze several times after running out of memory.
Just upgraded from 4x8 to 4x32 GB.
Good lord that is a lot of memory. The last game server I ram was Minecraft and that took up only 8 or so with lots of mods and players. Their AI system must be ridiculous.
It’s good having lots of spare RAM in servers as it prevents a lot of disk access by caching all previously read data in free RAM
It’s from a memory leak. The server is a Docker container that uses WINE to run Tarkov.
