When the SWG server is booted up it will default to allowing as many instances as required by the player population to spin up as needed. While that is a perfect setting for servers that expect larger populations, it's not great for resource constrained local servers for either solo players or small groups.
To allow more granular control of how many instances are permitted to spin up, a load manager has been added to the system. It will allow you to edit a cfg file and specify what level you prefer.
The cfg file you need to edit is : **/home/swg/swg-main/exe/linux/localOptions.cfg**
You will find an entry in that file which looks like this: **serverLoadLevel=heavy**
To specify the level you want, set the value from these options:
1. **light** _You should use this a solo play up to a full group (8 players)._
1. **medium** _You should use this for multiple groups (up to 4)._
1. **heavy** _This is the default setting and is intended for having as many instances as the population requires._
Once you choose your setting, save your changes to the cfg file and reboot the SWG server for the new setting to take effect.
