Thread hitch warnings in a FiveM server indicate that a resource is consuming excessive server processing time, which can lead to lag and poor performance for players. If left unresolved, these issues can drive players away and harm your server’s reputation. This guide will show you how to diagnose and resolve thread hitch warnings using TxAdmin and the FiveM profiler.

What Are Thread Hitch Warnings?

Thread hitch warnings occur when a resource takes too long to process, exceeding the server’s frame time budget. This can result from poorly optimized scripts, high CPU usage, or excessive resource demands.

Step-by-Step Fix for Thread Hitch Warnings

1. Open the TxAdmin Console

TxAdmin provides an easy way to manage and troubleshoot your server.

Steps:

1. Log in to your TxAdmin panel.
2. Navigate to the Console tab.

2. Run the Server GUI Command

The svgui command opens a graphical interface for more detailed monitoring.

Steps:

1. In the TxAdmin console, type the following command and press Enter:

   svgui
   

2. A new window will pop up. This is the FiveM Server GUI for advanced monitoring.

3. Activate the Resource Monitor

The FiveM resource monitor (resmon) lets you identify resource usage in real time.

Steps:

1. In the newly opened window, type:

   resmon 1
   

2. Press Enter to activate the resource monitor.

You’ll now see a list of all running scripts along with their CPU usage in milliseconds (ms).

4. Identify Problematic Scripts

The resource monitor displays the performance impact of each script.

Guidelines:

• Any script exceeding 0.25ms is a potential issue.
• Focus on scripts consistently above this threshold, as they are likely contributing to thread hitch warnings.

5. Remove or Optimize Problematic Scripts

High-usage scripts can often be removed or optimized to improve server performance.

Actions to Take:

• Remove Unnecessary Scripts: If a high-usage script isn’t essential, consider disabling or removing it.
• Optimize Critical Scripts: For scripts that are necessary but resource-heavy, reach out to the developer or check for updates that include optimizations.
• Replace with Alternatives: Look for lightweight alternatives to scripts with high resource demands.

Best Practices to Avoid Hitch Warnings

1. Monitor Regularly: Use resmon 1 frequently to ensure no new issues arise.
2. Limit Active Resources: Avoid running unnecessary scripts or mods that add strain to the server.
3. Upgrade Hosting: If your server is consistently struggling with performance, upgrading to a better hosting plan with higher CPU and RAM capacity may help.
