Everything is pretty much client sided unless it’s supposed to be on the server such as data, etc. Pretty much when each player joins, there is a PlayerManager module in ServerScriptService which creates a new player module for each player, this holds things such as requesting teams, assigning overhead tags, etc. As far as I’m aware, there aren’t any loops within those 2 scripts, so I really have no clue.

Watch the first 2 clips and you’ll see me using them. You clearly only looked at the 2 microprofiler images I gave and not the videos.

I didn’t watch the videos no.
Does it show high percentage for some (server) scripts?

When I was tracking them, I didn’t really see anything out of the blew but I’m also not an expert on it so I’m not sure if anything was bad or not, which is also why I provided the clips.

This is the playeradded function in PlayerManager if you woud look to see it
function PlayerManager:PlayerAdded(player : Player)
if self.clients[player] then
return self.clients[player]
end
if not player then
repeat task.wait(.1) until player
end
local loaded = Instance.new("BoolValue", player)
loaded.Name = "_LOADED"
self.clients[player] = playerModule.new(player)
local client = self.clients[player]
if not client then
player:Kick("Could not get client. Please rejoin")
return
end
task.wait(1)

local dataStore = DataService:Retrieve(player)
if not dataStore then
local maxAttempts, attempts = 5, 0
for i = attempts, maxAttempts do

break
end
task.wait(5)
dataStore = DataService:Retrieve(player)
attempts += 1
end
if not dataStore then
local str = string.format("Could not retrieve %s data within %s attempts", player.Name, attempts)
warn(str.." | Player Manager")
player:Kick(str)
return
end
end

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)

I see than it can be either some sort of memory leak or the player data is too much for the server.
example of a memory leak would be not disconnecting things like connections or not cleaning up after players leaves if the players had anything associated to them.
you can look up more examples of memory leaks if needed, a lot of times it goes unnoticed and can cause a pile up. Which common after either a lot of people are in the game and the longer the server is up.
Can also be network receive (replication) lag.
This van also be checked from the f9 menu.
Roblox automatically disconnects all player connections when the player leaves. I also try to disconnect any connections for the player.

Adding on to this, I did see at one point in the scripts profiler a unknown script usage activity of 43% to 86%
Consistently spiking up/down

This is also pretty sure shown in the 2 clips, I would very much recommend scanning through them because you’re just telling me stuff I am already aware of.
In the second clip, you can see when a bunch of people join in, a bunch of Total Data KB/s get spammed.

Yes I also saw that, but I have no idea what scripts those are. I know roblox just displays random scripts it can’t display as Unknown. Any idea what they could be?

Honestly, it could be from some sort of free model or “backdoor” from a plugin, this includes plugins for everyone work on the game. (I would absolutely not go full terminator mode) this is just a worst case scenario. It could also be that maybe your map has some unanchored parts, its also know that having a lot of humanoids together causes lag.
I’ll send you a link of a guide that goes over most performance impacting practices.
In our game, we pretty much have a bunch of free model vehicles but as far as I am aware they’re fine as they were in our previous game which ran fine with 60 people. I do not believe it’s the map as in the clip with no map, it also has unknown spiking a ton.

Yeah, no clue if your other games were working fine with the same assets thats a real head scratcher. The first topic explains what unknown could be, so good luck, sorry I couldn’t be of more help

Don’t worry, like I said any help is appreciated, atleast you’ve been responding, usually on some of my posts just nobody responds.
Gaps in graph indicate too much data is being sent and some has to be dropped.
Possible causes of high replication bandwidth are server-sided part position, attribute, property etc. updates.
Make sure to check your scripts for constant (every frame) updates to properties. Those are automatically replicated to every client by the engine.
I think I found what it was, it was a module I was using for the weapons called SecureCast, I think it was just too much for every client. I did a 30 player test like 10 minutes ago and it went pretty well, no lag at all. Later I’ll try and get a test with 50

Awesome, I’m glad to hear that. if you mark your comment a solution the thread will close up.

I’m waiting for the full test, who knows that could not be it.
