• Vintage Story currently can have latency issues if players connect from a different continent to where the server is hosted
• In game version 1.16.5, there are reports that a mod (we do not know which one!) can cause multiplayer connection issues or disconnects. If playing with a large mod list and you have connection issues and you have control over the mods on the server as well, try reducing the mod list (for both the server and the players) until the issue is fixed: as a start, test whether you can connect to the server with no mods except Vintage Story's "vanilla" mods Survival, Creative and Essential
• If you are the server owner:
  • The Server might be struggling. Be sure to meet the server's minimum requirements. Many concurrent players requires extra hardware. You can also try adjusting the Magic Numbers on the server.
  • Also check out the Debugging page. You can use tick logging (logticks) to perhaps identify the specific cause of lag.
  • Auto-save every few minutes will cause 1-2 seconds of lag when it saves. That is unavoidable if you want to protect the game progression using auto-save (strongly recommended). A fast CPU and a fast solid state disk system can improve this but it will always take some time.
  • Generally use the latest version of the game available: Tyron and team continually make performance improvements and optimisations to Vintage Story, including specific optimisations for multiplayer servers.
