I created my own server to play with my friends, but I ran into a problem, they enter the server and everything is fine until online increases, there are more than 6 players, at some point, for some unknown reason, the ping of the players in the game becomes 7, and all of them , and the values of saturation and TxQueue become high, more than two thousand, and the ip addresses of the players from the list disappear, the players themselves have red monitors on the screen and the game freezes, only restarting the server manually helps. Please help me, tell me what could be causing this.
I will add, I played with the firewall, for the sake of experiment I forbade connecting to the server port to all ip addresses, after the ban all players lost contact with the server and in the status it looked exactly the same as I described the situation earlier
those. it turns out that the server port just stops responding at some point and it is treated only by manually restarting the server.
when I removed the rule from the firewall, the players logged in again without any problems, while the server itself did not have to be rebooted, the conclusion is that the freelancer server itself crashes, because it is treated by a reboot, but it is not known what causes it
