We are thrilled to introduce FluxOS v8.22.0, an update designed to provide a smoother gaming experience by completely eliminating game server CPU throttling. Traditionally, hosting multiple game servers on a single machine requires implementing CPU limits to maintain system stability. While an unpopulated server operates smoothly under these restrictions, a busy Friday-night lobby will inevitably hit that limit. This results in delayed server ticks and the frustrating rubber-banding effect for players. With our latest update, those artificial barriers are gone. Whether you are hosting a small group or a full 64-player lobby, your server will receive the exact CPU power it requires to run flawlessly.
In addition to unrestricted processing power, app ports are now fully proven to work over UDP alongside TCP. The distinction between these two protocols is crucial for gaming. TCP guarantees delivery by retransmitting dropped packets and delaying everything behind them, which is excellent for loading web pages but disastrous during an intense gunfight. Conversely, UDP simply transmits each packet a single time, which is exactly what modern game engines are engineered to handle.
Rounding out this release are crucial database and host-stall resolutions. If you manage servers that remain online continuously for months at a time, you will directly notice the enhanced stability these specific fixes provide.
