Also, and maybe unrelated, lots of times a convoy on a road stops when one of the vehicles encounters problems. This can be : a damaged vehicle that cannot move anymore (should be abandonned) a vehicle that is blocked by a wreck (when all other vehicles pass through the wreck as if it was a ghost) some other cause that I don't understand

Well, I don't know what happened in a week, but since my last post it seems to have been somehow corrected. no update applied (DCS 2.7.0.5118 was already installed last Thursday) no change in configuration no reboot of the Windows machine lots and lots of server restarts (they restart approx. every 4-8 hours) Now that I think about it, we don't use the local webgui, but instead the one available on ED website. Could it be possible that something was changed there, a few days after patch 2.7.0.5118 which fixed it locally ? @BIGNEWY, I think you can consider it solved.

Thanks for the clarification, Taz. I didn't have this information. This is, indeed, not cool. Even if you kindly don't mind, it's not good practice.

Hello@BIGNEWY ! I haven't had the problem since the 2.7.0.5118 update. So, from my point of view, it seems fixed. Thanks !

@zildacED certainly changed their particle engine, which gave us nice, fluffy smoke and beautiful flames, and probably helped with the clouds (although I don't know about this). To say that they used Taz' excellent mod is an exageration, in my humble opinion. Of course, you're right, in the past they sometimes used community work in the game ; but they always recognized the author (I know this, I'm one of them - an ancient one, at that ^^). I think that they simply changed the smoke and fire of their engine in a way that paralleled Taz', which is logical : both are beautiful !

I've already seen this RegMapStorage.cpp error in another older report ; at that time the dev team answered that this was a problem of map object count (too many, not enough ids)

Did it ? it wasn't solved on my servers.... Wonder what I have to do...

Good report ; it's been like in 2.5 also, so the supposed "fix" probably didn't fix a lot

I agree with @Maverick87Shaka : we've had 2 servers running 2.5.6 for ages. It started bugging on 2.7

I get this one each time one of my dedicated servers is stopped.

Great, thanks !

I encountered a problem that may be linked. Just a headsup in case you have the same issue.

The WebGUI (either local on on ED's website) is not showing what my servers are sending. This concerns (at least) the current mission. It's displayed correctly on the servers list (both "public servers" and "my servers") as you can see : But if I use the WebGUI, another mission is selected in the list (1) although the server data is correct (2) : I've edited my serverSettings.lua file as advised by @BIGNEWY to include the new ["listStartIndex"] variable : cfg = { ["current"] = 5, ["listStartIndex"] = 5, And this is what the server is sending (trace mode, obviously) : 2021-04-16 11:40:12.176 TRACE WebGUI: Request from remote: 54.36.51.100 2021-04-16 11:40:12.176 TRACE WebGUI: request: getMissionInfo

Dedicated server, sorry

I've got a similar problem, I posted here.

I've got a problem with my servers which may be linked to this other problem (unresponsive DCS process when the dedicated server window is minimized). We've got two servers. When we start these servers concurrently, after a while (less than 60 minutes, I haven't been monitoring more aggressively), the servers get deregistered from the public list, and it seems that new connections are refused. I just noticed that, when I click on one of the dedicated server windows (note that they were not minimized, merely inactive because other windows went active instead), it starts registering itself again : One server 2021-04-16 10:24:53.731 TRACE SECURITYCONTROL: do_check_resource(models/p-47d_lod4.edm, # 2021-04-16 11:13:53.927 ERROR NET: Server update was late, registering again... 2021-04-16 11:13:53.927 INFO NET: Registering HTTP control interface as 178.33.154.23:22080 (port is assumed to be open) 2021-04-16 11:13:53.927 INFO NET: Registering server as 178.33.154.23:10708 (port is assumed to be open) And the other 2021-04-16 08:24:26.559 INFO Dispatcher: loadMission Done: Сontrol passed to the player 2021-04-16 09:13:52.599 ERROR NET: Server update was late, registering again... 2021-04-16 09:13:52.599 INFO NET: Registering HTTP control interface as 178.33.154.23:21080 (port is assumed to be open) 2021-04-16 09:13:52.599 INFO NET: Registering server as 178.33.154.23:10808 (port is assumed to be open) I was wondering if had something to do with the process being inaccessible whenever the window was not active ? I'm available for testing, and our servers are in trace mode.

Apparently it still doesn't work.

@BIGNEWY told me that the ["current"] field in the serverSettings.lua had to be replaced with ["listStartIndex"] Hope it helps, worked for me.

Well, too bad, it seems that it does not work in 2.7.0.4625 either. I tried with the same code (mission attached), and I recorded trace logs both in MP (on the server) and SP (on the standalone client) (attached). I'd love some help from the developers, maybe I can make more tests if they give me directions ? Thanks, as always. veaf-demo-mission_20210415.miz sp.log mp.log Edit : I just noted something weird : when the spawn works (that is, in single player), the spawn event is emitted before the log from my code had been written...

I read this in the articles you shared : If I understand correctly, it's impossible to disable real-time telemetry and still let players record their own ACMIs with no delay whatsoever ? We're not concerned about cheating, only about server performance in our heavy missions. Tacview consumes a lot of resources when recording the players flights on the server. We simply want to deactivate it, but still not have the 10 minutes delay.

Thanks @BuzyBee!

Hello @Vyrtuoz, I'm searching for the delay option (anti-cheat) in my DCS 2.5.6 client with Tacview 1.8.6 installed. There is no option for this in the Special / Tacview page ; did I miss something ? My goal is to set this option manually on our servers ; is this the correct syntax ? ["Tacview"] = { ["tacviewAutoDiscardFlights"] = 10, ["tacviewBookmarkShortcut"] = 0, ["tacviewDebugMode"] = 0, ["tacviewFlightDataRecordingEnabled"] = false, ["tacviewModuleEnabled"] = true, ["tacviewMultiplayerFlightsAsClient"] = 0, ["tacviewMultiplayerFlightsAsHost"] = 0, ["tacviewPlaybackDelay"] = 0, ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryEnabled"] = false, ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPassword"] = "", ["tacviewRealTimeTelemetryPort"] = "42674", ["tacviewRemoteControlEnabled"] = false, ["tacviewRemoteControlPassword"] = "", ["tacviewRemoteControlPort"] = "42675", ["tacviewSinglePlayerFlights"] = 0, ["tacviewTerrainExport"] = 0, },

That's not possible Drexx, at least not in 2.5 ; and the use is, to rearm and refuel, close to the front, in order to make multiple passes.

I found a way : using `trigger.action.explosion` it is possible to destroy weapons and planes, human or not ! https://youtu.be/4ZY7SC3MOHI

Thanks, you're always helpful and that means a lot to the community !
