The configuration of a game server can vary depending on the game you want to host. However, here are some general steps and considerations that can help you configure a game server.

RAM consumption in game servers and the number of players are closely related and play an important role in the performance and stability of a game server. Here's what you should know about it:

1. number of players and RAM: The RAM consumption of a game server usually increases with the number of players present at the same time. Each player playing on a server requires a certain amount of RAM to load and process the game world, objects, NPCs and other elements.

2. game type and modifications: RAM requirements can vary depending on the game type and the modifications installed. Games with extensive worlds, many players or complex modifications usually require more RAM.

3. minimum requirements: The minimum RAM requirements are often specified by the game manufacturer. These specifications indicate the minimum amount of RAM required to run the server. Therefore, at FameSystems the GameServers for the different games differ in the minimum RAM you need to select. However, it is important to note that this often only applies to small numbers of players. More RAM is often required for stable operation with many players.

4. influence on performance: If there is not enough RAM available, this can lead to reduced performance and stability of the server. This manifests itself in the form of increased loading times, stuttering in the game and possibly even server crashes.

5. scalability: In order to maintain performance and stability as the number of players increases, it may be necessary to increase the RAM capacity of the server. FameSystems makes it possible to scale the server's resources as required.

6. monitoring and optimization: It is important to monitor the RAM consumption of your game server and optimize it if necessary. This can include removing unnecessary modifications or updating plugins and extensions.

Overall, it is crucial to keep an eye on the RAM requirements of your game server and ensure that there are enough resources to guarantee a smooth gaming experience. The exact amount of RAM required depends on various factors, including the game, the number of players and the modifications used. If you are unsure, do not hesitate to contact our support. We will be happy to assist you, advise you and answer your questions. You can also order your GameServer with less RAM initially and upgrade it later via the web interface if you need more resources. There is no additional charge for the RAM upgrade - you only pay the difference in the RAM price for the remaining term of your server.
