I do have a decent dedicated server from OVH, which is an Advance-1 located in France, Gravelines.
I'm running into a very weird issue where all my players complain about how heavy the gameplay is. Most of them have a ping of <100ms, which is OK, but trust me, the gameplay experience feels like you're playing with 200-300ms jittery ping (and I feel the same).
Tried using a $2.50 server from PebbleHost, and guess what? It was smoother than my $100+ dedicated server. What's going on here?
I'm hosting a competitive PvP server (where everything needs to be very smooth) using a popular and reputable Spigot fork called ImanitySpigot3 (1.8.8 version). It was very good back in 2022, and I still know servers running the same Spigot fork and having a very smooth PvP experience while I'm not.
I've tried these before and it didn't help:
Use default Spigot/paper or change Spigot fork.
Tweak the configs (spigot.yml, bukkit.yml, etc...)
Remove all plugins (default setup)
Change Linux distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Rocky, Alma, etc...)
Change hosting provider or plan.
Not to mention that the TPS is always 20 with almost <5% CPU usage.
What else should I do? I really need help here. If anyone knows or has run into a similar issue before, please let me know. I'm offering $20 for anyone who helps me fix this issue.
