Server crashes repeatedly when a player joins the game

Hi everyone,

I've been noticing that the server crashes repeatedly, even when just one person joins the game.

Here are the server specs:

VPS on Contabo

• 8 CPU cores
• 24GB RAM
• 1.2TB SSD

Using Grafana, I observed some unusual CPU spikes. When these occur, the player currently online gets disconnected, losing their character and inventory. This player becomes permanently offline, and upon logging back in, a new character is created.

At first, I thought the issue might be CPU-related, but now I’m wondering if it could be an I/O problem instead.

For context:

I'm using Docker Compose with satisfactory-server:latest.
Grafana stack is also part of the setup.
I've attached some Grafana screenshots for reference.

Have you experienced the same issue? How did you solve it?

Hey @alessandrolomanto, this sounds like a game bug. Could you please provide the debug output of the container/fill out the normal issue template please? What CPU does your VPS use?
