Eco Dev Tracker

With default settings (No Collaboration) you don't need settlements to get more land claim papers, you will still get unrestricted ones like before in Update 9. You can reduce the amount of players needed for a town in the Settlements.eco config file, located in /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/Configs.

Change the 3 in "MinCitizensToFoundSettlement" to 2.
The fastest way to apply default settings to your world in regards to the first thing I said is just creating a new world with default settings and any adjustments you may have made in the game, then delete that world and load the old one. The configuration will also apply to that one.

The version is an identical build, just with development mode on.

It's not easy to replicate. Contrary to common belief these issues do _not_ happen for everyone. I don't get any of them, for example. My memory build up was solved with 10.0 and the microstutters I once had were fixed in 9.0. Issues we experience ourselves we address as quickly as we can. The survey we lately did also showed that while a notable amount of players undoubtedly get such issues, the vast majority noted explicitly that they do not have any.

The only way we can identify these issues without getting them ourselves is what I mentioned in my comment above. We need players actually experiencing them to use a development build and provide investigation data to us. That is a complex task to do, but there is no alternative to it. So every player willing to get their hands onto that is extremely appreciated and likely allows to address another performance issue for multiple people. It's just important to see under which circumstances and which server environments issues...

To the reporters of this post:
It does not technically violate rule 4 as it is not a server advertisement. It is kind of a new type of posts we see here lately where players that play on any server not owned by them search additional people for a settlement they are part of on a server. Such posts would not fit into the megathread. We have not yet decided how to deal with such posts, but for example posts by users to find a server were allowed so far and only actual advertisements by server staff (or the same but hidden through a third-party user) are requried to go into the megathread. Feel free to comment on how you would like us to deal with them.

If you want to help getting such issues fixed, you can follow the steps lined out in that screenshot, it's the only way to get any useful data.

Delete your /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/Configs/WorldGenerator.eco file, maybe that helps.

That is already the case since 10.1.4.

The streams are made available on YouTube after the weekend and can be watched there.

Naming a month is already way more concrete as we usually get, but if I was forced to say something, likely yes.

That issue would cause this behaviour, so try the registry fix, maybe it helps for whatever else you're experiencing.
