Resolving server thread hitch warnings in FiveM

Is your FiveM server lagging? You might see warnings like "server thread hitch" in the server console. These messages mean your server scripts are taking too long to load, slowing things down for everyone. Don't worry, here's how to fix it:

1. Make sure your server has enough power (CPU and RAM) to handle everything running. Use your server's Task Manager to see how much CPU and RAM is being used.

2. Find the defected script

   1. We need to identify which scripts are causing the lag. Use the txAdmin server console to profile your scripts:

      • Type profiler record 500 and wait for it to finish.

      • Type profiler save xyz (replace "xyz" with any name) to save the results.

      • Type profiler view xyz to see the results. This will give you a link to open in Chrome.

      • The link shows how long each script takes to load. Find the scripts with the longest loading times.

   2. Stop the laggy script

      1. You have two options for the slow scripts:

         1. Fix the script itself to make it load faster (script optimization).

         2. Disable the script in your server.cfg file or delete the script folder entirely.

By fixing these slow scripts, you can banish those server thread hitch warnings and make your FiveM server run smoothly for everyone. Remember, keeping your server hardware strong and your scripts optimized is key to a lag-free gaming experience.
