Nwserver 100% CPU bug

Has anyone else seen this issue? It doesn't matter if it's an empty module with no scripts or one with a thousand, one player or ten, it happens on Windows and Linux. The old server did not do this.

Thanks,

    The old server would sleep for 10ms each game update. This was fine on small servers but caused severe performance issues on large servers. We added a new config option called Clients Required To Disable CPU Sleep (under Game Options) with an integer value which can be used to toggle this behaviour back on. By default, the server will retain the old behaviour until one or more players join, then it will enter high performance mode without any sleeping. You can change this value to something that is greater than the maximum players allowed on your server if you never want the server to enter high performance mode.

    Thank you for this information, it is really helpful. Except for docker images, it works great.

    Btw, not sure if you also maintain the nwnxee docker image. But in case you do, it ignores the nwnplayer.ini changes. I verified that it is getting copied from the local volume(~/./server) over to the container(/nwn/run and /nwn/home).

    I'm new to docker, so perhaps I am missing something?

    Thanks,

    Thanks Raz. But unfortunately, it doesn't address this specific issue.

    It's like what is happening to this guy. -> https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/68874/nwnplayer-ini

    But there isn't resolution. When you run nwserver in the nwnxee docker it doesn't recognize the nwnplayer.ini. Even though the modified nwnplayer.ini is copied to the container, and is there.
