When running your FiveM server, you may encounter warnings indicating “server thread hitch” or “sync thread hitch”. These alerts typically arise from poorly optimized scripts that take an excessive amount of time to load. To resolve these issues and optimize your server’s performance, follow the steps outlined below.
Step 1: Check Your Server Hardware
Ensure your server has sufficient CPU and RAM resources by monitoring Task Manager for usage levels and verifying compatibility with FiveM. Make sure your CPU model is compatible and not underpowered.
Step 2: Profile Your Server Scripts using txAdmin
To identify the scripts causing hitch warnings, use txAdmin to profile your server scripts:
a. Run profiler record 500 to capture profiling data.
b. Save the results with profiler save xyz.
c. View the results with profiler view xyz.
This process will provide a link to analyze resource usage and identify slow-loading scripts.
Step 3: Optimize or Disable Unoptimized Scripts
Once you’ve identified the problematic script(s), take one of two approaches:
a. Optimize the script to reduce its load time.
b. Disable the script in your server.cfg file or delete its folder.
By optimizing or disabling these scripts, you can resolve thread hitch warnings and improve overall performance for a smoother gameplay experience.
Conclusion
Diagnosing and resolving server thread hitch warnings is crucial for maintaining optimal FiveM server performance and providing an enjoyable gaming experience for You Community. Regularly optimize your server hardware and scripts to ensure seamless gameplay.
