Script Lag (MS) Detection with Resmon Feature on FiveM Servers
The biggest reason for instant freezes (Stuttering) and FPS drops experienced by players on FiveM PVP servers is not the machine hardware, but incorrectly optimized scripts (Resource) added to the server. Offered by FiveM game engine Resource Monitor (Resmon) Thanks to its interface, you can instantly see which script is consuming the processor (CPU). In this guide you will learn about MS optimization.
Step 1: Activating the Resmon Interface
To see the consumption values of scripts on your server while in the game, follow these steps:
- from your keyboard
F8Open the FiveM console by pressing the button. - to the console
resmon 1Type and press Enter. A panel will open in the upper right corner of the screen where all scripts are listed. (To closeresmon 0you can write).
Step 2: Reading Values (CPU msec and Memory)
There are two critical columns in the opened panel. For the health of your server, you should analyze these columns as follows:
- CPU msec (Mil seconds): It is the processor time a script spends per cycle. The amount a healthy script spends idle 0.01ms to 0.05ms It should be between .
- Even if you're sitting idle in the list 0.50ms, 1.0ms or higher If you see a script that consumes value, that script is coded incorrectly. Generally open-ended in code
Citizen.CreateThreador working every split secondCitizen.Wait(0)cycles cause this. - Memory: It is the space occupied by the script on RAM. If there is a memory consumption (Memory Leak) that constantly increases over time, that script will consume RAM as long as the server remains open and will eventually crash the server.
Step 3: Exact Solution and Optimization
- By examining the code blocks of scripts that consume high MS, add distance controls (while loops) or loop wait times (which will only run when the player interacts (e.g. approaches a marker)).
Wait(1000)etc.) - If you cannot optimize, choose to use alternative, optimized updated versions of that script to alleviate the load on your system.
