Is this an issue? Would it be better for me to close it for now?
I donāt see anyone complaining, at least it doesnāt bother me. So I donāt think there should be any reason to close it

Okay, I was just curious. Itās at least out of the way of the main city. Iāll have a road leading to my home once itās finally finished though, so hopefully the bug will be fixed by then.
Unless people donāt care and want the extra experience. Thenā¦ Iām not too worried.

It was only an issue in Elop Portas because people were trying to build, and there were mobs everywhere.
Does anyone have any information on where mobs can spawn? Iām under the impression they donāt actually spawn on beacons.

I know that spot in Solum is below a gigantic thing in the sky that may or may not have portals inside, idk because I cannot reach it, lol.
I can check it out around the area though.

@Pseudonym84 i think maybe (as @Arkefyre told me on discord) it MIGHT have something to do with the sky portal and suicide drop to the floor portal - where the server is like ahah! there you arā¦ Huhā¦ waitā¦ where id you goā¦ AHAH!.. errrmmmmā¦ AHHā¦ errrā¦ GO GET EM FFS!!! 
i already suggested that in this thread mate [quote=āArkefyre, post:24, topic:8210ā]
something to do with a portal placed above the maximum spawn height for mobs.

but michaelb explained it kinda[quote=āmichaelb, post:27, topic:8210ā]
there is an issue that its not scaling correctly with the number of players in some cases.

itās def a bug
I have a portal in my WIP base you are referring to. Thatās probably causing it.

It takes more than 1 person to bug the animal spawning?. Try taking 4 people when you do.
Elop Portas was nice and peaceful tonight.
Our fearless leader @Jeffrotheswell was online, having missed all the fun the night before, so I reopened the portal, and moments later Armageddon all over again.
āOnce more unto the breach, dear friends!ā
Anyway, itās 100% confirmed that sky portals are the issue/solution.

You should leave it open and let me spawn the havoc inducing evil

I closed it because it was lagging @Jeffrotheswell out. I made a Scratch-ton of shards anyway, so feel free to open and close it whenever. The whole build team are on the beacon.
Oh, and the mobs donāt despawn when you close it - it just stops more from spawning, so youāll still have to clean up a few hundred mobs once you close it.

Massive lagg at Therka market at the moment. Seems one of the portals has been reopend, possible itās the one at Karokendoās place but Iām not sure.
Client is lagging out at 12FPS, game became more something like a slideshow. In the debug window I found out that the client is recieving over 400 server commands a second. Seems quite high to me. Almost got me killed by a wildstockā¦
Screenshot with debug info:
Hardware specs:
Intel Core i5 4590 (3.3GHz Quadcore)
16GB DDR3 RAM (dualchannel)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
Thanks for the details. Does restarting the client have any effect?
Yep - these high up portals (or players) will trigger the continuous spawning. This will increase the networking to all near players. Which will effect performance. We need to get the fix deployed.

Kept ours closed until the fix is in place. It was originally supposed to be the new infinite drop portal - all the mob spawning was an unexpected side effect.
And another one, hope the fix it out soon. Maybe the devs can remove / disable portals that (ab)use this issue in the meantime.
Another screenshot with over 700 cmd/sā¦ It even spiked above 1000 cmd/s after which the game became trippy and had to restart.

Try speaking to the portal owner. If it was just recently opened then the player is no doubt active.
I imagine this is a priority for the developers right now @NL-Tim. Hang tight.
(loving your restaurant by the way.)
