Server lag problems.

[Otakis]

Whenever someone joins my game, it lags and freezes my game for a long time.
Did anyone experience this before and know the solution? or something? i really need help.

Yes this happens when your first client joins. If this still happens after others join, I dunno.

it's creating the file manifest for players to download (or something like that)

This Happens to me Too, Just be patient. This Is something you have to deal with because it is creating the Downloads for addons A connecting Client needs, Plus it has to Load THEM.

exactly this
the game needs to know what files to send to the client when they join, and if a file manifest hasn't been created already it will be created when the first client joins
