Hello Perpheads players! We recently installed Cloudflare for our website in attempt to mitigate the recent DDoS attacks, hopefully it will help but it has had some side effects.
Some players choose to connect to the server by typing "connect perpheads.com" into their consoles, sadly this no longer works with that URL, but those who use the server browser should feel no change. Instead now you can use the following:
  • perpheads.win​
  • gmod.perpheads.com​
  • 94.23.153.193:27015​

Similarly, the TeamSpeak 3 server suffers from the same issue, please use one of the following to connect/adjust your bookmark:
  • perpheads.win​
  • ts.perpheads.com​
  • 94.23.153.193​

If you spot any other issues please let us know!

Known bugs:
Televisions not displaying correctly
Loading screen not working

Update Log 10/08/2022 - Lag Fix Attempt 1

Today's update is aimed at improving the server's performance, specifically the issue of massive lag spikes that would happen roughly every minute if the server is near capacity. We have identified the issue to be related to the server using too much memory and Lua's garbage collector not working as well as one would expect. Due to this we had to take drastic measures to reduce the memory footprint of the server.

If you noticed that you have far fewer drugs in your storage than previously, do not worry. This is an intended part of this update.

As might come to some people's surprise, the main culprit of the high memory usage are actually items. On our server, each item is modelled as its own individual object. So, if someone has 10,000 drugs in their storage, then that is 10,000 objects in memory. Unfortunately, it turns out we have a lot of item hoarders among us, which is why this has become such a big issue...

Image Entities​

Today's major update is the addition of image entities. These entities allow you to display images from imgur on them, as long as they have been approved by the staff team.
This is similar to how TVs were used previously, but unlike TVs there is no limit to how many of these signs can be displayed at the same time. (Although there currently is a limit of 4 image entities per player, extended props 8).

@Lelios1 was very busy and added a wide variety of different image entities, such as simple signs, illuminated signs, image frames and flags (which can also be used as posters). Illuminated signs work similar to TVs in that they can be self-lit by pressing E on them, while the other image entities are lit purely by the environment.
