How To Lower the Memory Usage of Your Schedule 1 Server

Note:

High RAM utilization on a Schedule 1 dedicated server can cause tick stutter, slow response times, and abrupt container crashes from Out-Of-Memory (OOM) kills. Memory bloat typically stems from Unity IL2CPP garbage collection delays, uncollected scene references during long uptimes, client-only UI mods spamming exception loops in headless mode, and 24/7 world simulation running when zero players are online. Implementing memory optimization mods alongside key configuration adjustments keeps server RAM stable over extended multiplayer sessions.

1. Download the Memory Leak Fix Mod

Selecting manual download for the MemoryLeakFix IL2CPP version under the Files tab on Nexus Mods

2. Extract the Memory Leak Fix Mod

Extracting the downloaded MemoryLeakFix IL2CPP archive using WinRAR in Windows File Explorer

3. Log In to Your Panel

4. Select the ‘File’ Tab

5. Select the ‘Mods’ Folder

7. Restart Your Server

8. Remove Incompatible/Client-Side Mods From the Server

Installing client-side UI mods on a headless dedicated server triggers severe NullReferenceException spam, creating rapid memory leaks and spiking CPU usage.

Setting pauseGameWhenEmpty to true under the gameplay section in server_config.toml

12. Optimize Auto-Save Intervals

1. In server_config.toml, locate the [autosave] section.

2. Set autoSaveIntervalMinutes to 10.0 or 15.0 to balance data security with memory overhead:

[autosave]
autoSaveEnabled = true
autoSaveIntervalMinutes = 15.0
autoSaveOnPlayerJoin = true
autoSaveOnPlayerLeave = true
Configuring autoSaveEnabled and autoSaveIntervalMinutes parameters under the autosave section in server_config.toml

13. Click the “Save Contents” Button

14. Restart Your Server
