With the right settings, you can optimize the balance between visual simulation, AI calculations, and server load.

Navigation
You can configure the performance settings in the ServerConfiguration.ini file. Edit it in your game server dashboard under the Configuration tab: select the ServerConfiguration.ini file and click Edit directly to change the raw text. The tab also displays many values as form fields with explanations. Alternatively, open the file in the config folder under the Files tab. The file contains the following parameters:
TargetFPS = 0
NavCalcsPerFrame = 2000
NavMeshFrames = 1
NavMeshAutoSeed = 5
ResetIfNoPlayers = 1
TargetFPS defines the server's performance profile
0 → Standard1 → Optimized for higher player counts2 → Optimized for very high player countsNavCalcsPerFrame controls how many navigation calculations are performed per frame
NavMeshFrames determines how often navigation meshes are updated
NavMeshAutoSeed affects how AI navigation paths are generated
ResetIfNoPlayers automatically resets the server when no players are connected
0 → Disabled1 → EnabledAdjusting these values can improve server performance, especially when many bots are running or large battles are taking place.
After changing the ServerConfiguration.ini file, save it and restart your server. The new performance settings will then be applied automatically.
Your changes to ServerConfiguration.ini are retained after restarts. The only exception is WhiteListIsEnabled: ZapX sets this value at every startup using the Enable whitelist startup parameter. The server name, player count, and passwords are not stored in this file; you can set them under Startup Parameters in the Configuration tab.
Congratulations! You've successfully optimized the performance settings for your Over the Top WWI server. With the right fine-tuning, your server will remain stable and deliver smooth gameplay, even under heavy load.
