Confirmed on Blue Flag servers as well. Disabling the Voice Chat does help with the lag, but the voice chat is not actually disabled, connecting to the server and I can hear people talking.

Thanks BIGNEWY & Nineline for giving a voice to the MP.

@c0ff & BIGNEWY Adding another log file with added logs for connecting / disconnecting / slow switching / killed events. I had a quick look, but it seems like some ids are assigned to the same connected players (check id - 3) dcs.log.old.zip

Issue reproduced again, people were thrown out to spectators while others were being killed and in game scores were giving wrong information Adding the dcs log file we got that should include the issue, hope it has enough information to showcase it. dcs.log.zip

For the explanation, we have seen 2 incidents - 1. We have a script using the API that throws players to spectator after they get killed, this is working by the DCS API. What actually happens after updating to 2.5.6 - Players who weren't killed, and are in the 3D, get thrown back to spectators once other players on the server get killed. This is the part that throws the players to spectators - net.force_player_slot(playerID, 0, '') The players which were killed were identified using the onGameEvent function by using the PlayerID - function onGameEvent(eventName,arg1,arg2,arg3,arg4) --"friendly_fire", playerID, weaponName, victimPlayerID --"mission_end", winner, msg --"kill", killerPlayerID, killerUnitType, killerSide, victimPlayerID, victimUnitType, victimSide, weaponName --"self_kill", playerID --"change_slot", playerID, slotID, prevSide --"connect", playerID, name --"disconnect", playerID, name, playerSide, reason_code --"crash", playerID, unit_missionID --"eject", playerID, unit_missionID --"takeoff", playerID, unit_missionID, airdromeName --"landing", playerID, unit_missionID, airdromeName --"pilot_death", playerID, unit_missionID end 2. Without relation to the API, we also notice that the in game score board is updating wrongfully. Players who did not get any kills start to get kills which were not related to them in the in game score board. these get included once other players get killed. The 2 above points lead to believe that player ids are duplicated between different players online. The code on our part that throws players to spectators after they got killed, did not change between the versions, the actual file haven't been changed for the last month at least. To get more information and help out with the investigation, I'm updating to the latest Open Beta and we will ask our players to fly and try to get this issue reproduced so logs can be generated and we can provide more information. If you need more logs generated or any specific data from the API generated into a log file, let me know and I can set it up on the server while this runs.

With the latest patch, there's a new issue with player id duplicated between different online players. This is shown in a few ways - 1. players who did not get any kills, get kills on the score board from other players with the same id. 2. get player id and use callback actions from the API will work on the 2 players at the same time, for example move to spectators. net.force_player_slot(playerID, 0, '') This is effecting single unit groups, haven't managed to reproduce this on demand, but it reproduces sporadically on Blue Flag.

I wasn't able to reproduce it neither. To run the track it self you would need the Blue Flag scripts, because things are dynamic it would probably be impossible to reproduce the exact state of the mission. If I can have an idea where the crash is originating from, I can check further. but the thread dump doesn't show all the related methods.

Hi, One of our servers is having random crashes, I've exported a crash log and generated at least 2 ACMI files.

@BIGNEWY, any ETA on the fix? Big issues on the our 3 servers as well.

Hi all, Wanted to post these streams here for anyone who might have missed them. Bottom line, the JF-17 is a really great module, it has great multi role capabilities and very interesting features. You can see some first impressions in the full streams, note that these are pre early access and some issues have already been fixed by Deka's team (really nice guys!) full streams - #1 - #2 - #3 - Below there are some of my trial and errors for the various weapons I checked out. These are not "guides" per say, they simply show how I learned how to use the weapons on the JF-17 - Testing JF-17 with various weapons on Blue Flag (attacking a FARP) - A/G & NAV: Weapons introduction - CCIP - BRM-1 (Vikhr equivalent) - Jettison + CAT + WP input - 71 IR & TV (Mav equivalent) - GB-6 (Glide Bomb - JSOW equivalent) - LD-10 (SEAD & AA Anti Radiation & SPJ) - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/515308880 A/A: PL-5 (IR) & Guns - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/515308881 SD-10, PL-5, Guns & Dogfight maneuvering - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/515311736 Although most of the quality is bad (sorry in advance!) I think it's good streams that show the relevant points of the module. Again, overall, great work by Deka, very nice module with great capabilities and nice amount of stuff ready on early access.

you need to run it with -server argument or simply run the dcs dedicated server install.

I can recommend Blix - https://www.blix.com/

Nice work!

Thanks BigNewy, will adjust our 3rd server to a different account

Stats have not been reset. The Stats work by tour, if you go into the tour stats for Persian Gulf and select on the top right September, you will see the relevant stats for the official tour. The tour has ended, we will update on the winners on our Discord, here and in our stream - http://www.twitch.com/buddy_spike We appreciate your support - https://patreon.com/buddyspike

Thanks Mav! We will look into the items you sent! There's already a first round winner, redfor has won the first round and the map has been reset. Remember, teamwork and dedication will win this tour! Good luck to all participants!

Update about side switching - During the official tour in PG (September), we will accept side switch only by 2nd of September 18:00 Zulu. After that time, we will no longer be accepting side switching unless it's a new player that just joined and entered his desired side wrongfully. Notice - such cases will be checked and would require more time then usual.

Reminder, the tour starts tonight at 16:00 Zulu. Good luck to everyone participating!
