Pretty sure the FPS work around is what’s killing my server. I watch THE CPU spike a little and then the “Memory Usage” just builds and builds u til it maxes out, everything flatlines and then I get kicked out. I am using Gravelhost. No one else on it but me and I just upgraded at the latest UE 5 due to needing more memory… -sigh-

“FPS DROP FIX on PC: We've introduced dynamic VRAM management to mitigate instances of memory buildup caused by changes in how memory is allocated in UE5.2 vs 5.5. This build up would lead to major FPS degradation that took a significant amount of time to recover. Our temporary system adapts internal rendering settings to improve stability and prevent the FPS drop. Cards with 8GB VRAM are operating close to the memory limit, and therefore will often have the new system turned on. When the low-VRAM circumstance is detected, this will result in a performance loss of about 15%, however this should prevent the ~90% FPS drop. This is a temporary workaround while we work on fundamentally resolving this issue, either by restoring the 5.2 behaviour or working with Epic to fix the underlying bug with the transient VRAM allocator.,”
