@-NRU- Tjoepapke how complete is this map as a whole?
Tjoepapke  [developer] 21 Mar, 2017 @ 6:54am 
hellow, it will be around 35% on this moment

Somehow I am trying to get this information over to you, developer. You have a big Memory Leak issue with your dinos. Having a Memory Dump is very bad for the future development of your map. If your not sure what it does let me explain. A server will go from 3GB of memory to 8GB within hours. This cause the crash and if you are using server hosting like most of us are then they will stop your server once it exceeds the limit allowed. You cant make the map bigger if the dino spawns etc. are not under control on 1/4 of your map. Thank you

Hi! I also observed something strange. Our server needs up to over 18GB RAM. Thats not normal. Somehow the last big update caused some issues. I also tried already reinstalling everything... No success...
Tjoepapke  [developer] 28 Mar, 2017 @ 2:16pm 
Hellow yes, there was an issue with the spawn of deepsea creatures that life on the ocean floor (the boundings where not setup correctly) with the next update those boundries has been fixed, if you use the command killallwilddinos, this issue will be resolved on your server.
