Enshrouded - high load and poor performance with resources to spare - Part 2

OS Name/Version: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

Product Name/Version: 2.6.0.4 - 20241106.1

Problem Description:

ONLY HAPPENS WHEN WE HAVE 2 OR MORE PLAYERS IN THE SERVER.
NOT USING DOCKER CONTAINER.

The game frequently shows warnings in the bottom left corner of the screen about high load and server overloaded. The server does seem to have some amount of perceptible lag all the time, but sometimes it becomes unplayable until I restart the instance. CPU usage hovers around 10-15% load during these times, so I don’t believe that is the issue. RAM usage is shockingly low, typically hovering around 1GB according to the top command (though the AMP website shows 0.55GB). According to the Enshrouded Dedicated Server FAQ, this should be higher at around 4.4GB: https://enshrouded.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/16056312924957-Dedicated-Server-FAQ. The machine this is running on has 32GB of available RAM.

As an aside not, I do find it odd that the metrics show incorrect memory usage values (0.55GB vs top showing ~1GB).

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create an Enshrouded instance (non docker container)
  • Start the server
  • Get a few buddies to join
  • Witness the in-game high load and server overloaded errors

Actions taken to resolve so far:
Fully updated ADS and Enshrouded instance
Frequent restarts of the instance and the entire machine

Questions:
Is there somewhere I can configure the max allowed memory for the Enshrouded instance?

I am having the same issues as well, and have seen others posting on reddit with the exact same problem.
