No other way to recreate the issue aside from what is mentioned above. The torches requiring a stick and rags for crafting is the only light source I have issues with after update 1.21

I ran the above you mentioned and the lag reduced slightly in the large cities by 1 - 5 FPS, it increased slightly in areas outside of towns/cities do to the Mushrooms, Pears, Apples, Plums constantly spawning around the player... The results are not good do to the issue is with the 1.14 update, Nitrados poorly ran servers do not always help either XD

Most of the changes are made within the Events.xml, cfgEventspawns.xml and Types.xml, the Types file has a lot of loot at vanilla amounts or it is reduced so nothing crazy happening in that file and the changes in Events file are a follows:

not sure if it's the same bug but in yesterdays session I noticed car doors, hoods and wheels were spawning INSIDE the wrecked vehicles?

I am not sure. I have only encountered the issue once do to not using the Canopy tent and despawned the only one I had in game, it is possible that the lag was caused by something else in game. I do appreciate your help for checking into the issue.
