Check you firewalls are disabled and try again, both windows and router. Other than that, There's not much we can do, it could be a routing issue between you, ED master server and our server.

Yeah, thanks for the report, will fix it!

Updates on Blue Flag: Removed objectives - Alagir, Goryachiv, Ochamchira, Lanchuti, sukhumi SAM, terek. Changed objectives - Tkvarcheli to Zemo-Azhara, Oni to Tianeti, Martvili - Kuizu, Hataldon to Kazbegi, urup to Habaz, Chikola to roadbase. Added missing intercepts to all airbases. Fixed placing. added missing static objectives. Removed irrelevant units in objectives. Added helicopters to all airbases. Added minimum planes for each side in each airbase - F5e, a-10c, mig-21, su-25t, tf-51. Server is already up and running, please let us know how it runs and if you find any issues. See you in the skies! Buddyspike Team.

check your firewall on windows and router. make sure you have the latest - https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3430583&postcount=6 You can also try to connect by IP - 91.205.184.66:10308

Server updated to latest 2.5 version.

There are stats, notice when going to the live map you have Statistics tab at the top. Currently they are offline but we will bring them back up soon.

released

This is kind of a problematic report, the server does not actually crash, but it hangs and becomes unresponsive, unless I don't kill the process, it will keep running. I'm attaching the mission it happened with and reproduced on 3 times after running the mission for around 20 minutes, the logs are not very helpful as they are also hanging, the resources on the server didn't show anything special. But it is definitely because of the Harrier, once the Harrier was not used, the mission ran fine with no lag what so ever for 14 hours. Added the mission file and 3 ACMI files from Tacview that shows how it crashed. Link to ACMI showing how it worked without the Harrier - https://www.dropbox.com/s/kvegdw3bo746zbq/Tacview-20180222-224327-DCS-OP%20Turkey%20Shootout2.1.zip.acmi?dl=0 Edit - notice one of these missions in the ACMI is a little different as it does not include all the triggers in the attached mission, this was a test to see if the issue could be related to the triggers, evidently it wasn't as the mission crashed more or less after the same time as it did with the triggers.

Guys, we will take a look at the Harrier and hopefully find a solution either by adding it to the bases or/and finding a solution in the Road bases. Yes we are on 2.5, check your firewall.

True, we will have a look at it.

Steps to reproduce: 1. start a dedicated server. 2. load up a mission on the dedicated server that has 2 of the same units inside, one is already there from the start and one is late activated through spawning with coalition.addgroup 3. enter the server with a separate client. 4. enter a forward observer slot and try to move the already present unit - unit should not be moveable as you are in forward observer and not ground commander. 5. once the unit is spawned, try to move it and you will be able to move it like a ground commander. Hope this is enough to report the issue.

When spawning in a static object or a fortification object, it is spawned in invisibly when doing so through a multiplayer server. The units are shown on the F-10 but are not shown in the 3D world. Logs didn't indicate any issue. Was spawning both with http://wiki.hoggit.us/view/DCS_func_addGroup and with http://wiki.hoggit.us/view/DCS_func_addStaticObject Both showed the above issue. Let me know if you need further information, this is affecting our Blue Flag mission severely as we have many static and fortification units which are spawned invisible.

BIGNEWY, thanks for all the help in getting these bugs escalated to ED! We are trying to help and report any bugs as well to progress 2.5 stability.

Update - Crashing has been mostly fixed, it was identified to be related to units dispersing after being attacked. Ciribob updated some of the scripts to make sure this option will be disabled. We are hoping this issue and the invisible fortification and static objects spawning will be resolved with next patches by ED. Currently we are proceeding with stabilizing the server and stress testing. We will run further stress tests during this week to finalize the stability, please let us know if you encounter any performance or lag issues specifically in our server.

Hi Doom, Please see my attached lua file here - https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3223589&postcount=1209 The way to use this mod is as follows - You edit the miz file and place a new folder - Config\View\ Inside there you place the Labels.lua You need to make sure the mission is running with labels on. You can also edit the Labels.lua file as you wish, but I find this setup quite good for WWII. Xcom

Update - We have optimized the server performance and we are getting good and stable 40 players so far. Notice that there are still server crashes due to a bug we have already reported to ED, so when flying in the server currently, you can expect the server to crash unexpectedly until ED fixes this bug.

Thanks for opening a new thread. I reported the crash information here - https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3389628&postcount=30 As it is happening in Blue Flag also since 2.5 was released and both hotfix1 & 2 did not solve it. We also don't see the issue related to scripts, but rather to commanding of newly spawned units. We have also tested in Blue Flag. In Blue Flag we didn't use tactical commander but actually used forward observer to avoid people moving units around, I believe all other dynamic servers have done the same after we noticed that moving units in a large scale create lag. We have noticed 2 issues thus far: 1. After units are spawned in, they are controlable although they are not supposed to be, this can be part of the issue or a whole other issue all together. 2. Spawned in static (Fortification) units (such as bunkers and barracks) are spawned in invisible. This tells us that there might be issues with the spawn mechanism, maybe the transport.dll issue is related to the first issue I mentioned.

Crashed again, had no crash log for some reason, but error was again on transport.dll

Server is updated to the latest 2.5 hotfix 2 update. This should eliminate the crashes that have been happening, but still not eliminate the issues with static units spawning invisible, hopefully that will be resolved in next patches by ED. Please give us some feedback on stability and Lag.

neg, mission was not resaved. I will try that now and see if issue reproduces. We have many scripts running, this is from blue flag :)

Mission updated! Please let us know if you find any new issues.

About the crashes of the server, we identified an issue with Transport.dll that causes a crash with serveral servers. It has already been reported and hopefully will be identified and fixed by ED as soon as possible, until then, please refrain from using any built in transport capabilities of the Uh-1h or Mi-8 (CTLD is allowed ofcourse). In a few days we will update the map with several fixes from your feedback and some coalition changes. We will try to improve on stability more and more to allow smooth game play as much as we can. Please keep up with the reports, it helps us identify things we would not be able to identify any other way. Updates: - Fixed some positioning of units and statics. (please check and let us know of specific locations you can find with problems). - AJS37 and AV8B are seperated to different coalitions to be available in road bases. - Reduced some unit count to improve stability. - Coalitions are split between the modules so friendly on friendly action will be minimized and to try out some challanging setup for both sides. Red: Helicopters - Mi-8, Ka-50. Aircrafts - Mig-21, Mig-29S, Mig-29A, Su-27, Su-33, Su-25, Su-25T, AJS-37. Intercept - Mig-29A. Recon - TF-51. Bomber - Tu-22. Blue: Helicopters - Uh-1h, SA342M, SA342L, SA342Mistral. Aircrafts - F-5, Mirage2000, A-10A, A-10C, F-15C, AV-8B. Intercept - F-4E. Recon - TF-51. Bomber - B-1.

Adding to this, we had the same in Blue Flag with 40 players. I'm guessing transport.dll means the transport functions are being used somehow and probably creating this issue. 2018-01-31 17:54:53.875 INFO NET: onPlayerSlot(23, 3260) 2018-01-31 17:54:53.875 INFO NET: passed onPlayerTryChangeSlot 2018-01-31 17:54:53.875 INFO NET: release unit 3262 2018-01-31 17:54:53.875 INFO Scripting: event:type=relinquished,initiatorPilotName=clutchcity,target=Pilot #760,t=46842.841,targetMissionID=3262, 2018-01-31 17:54:53.876 INFO Scripting: event:type=under control,initiatorPilotName=clutchcity,target=Pilot #758,t=46842.841,targetMissionID=3260, 2018-01-31 17:54:53.877 INFO NET: player 23 occupied unit 3260 2018-01-31 17:54:53.977 INFO LuaNET: No Specific lives for F-15C Loading Standard 2018-01-31 17:54:54.706 INFO Scripting: event:type=shot,initiator=Unit #190,t=46843.464,weapon=9M38M1 Buk-M1 (SA-11 Gadfly),initiatorMissionID=1000288, 2018-01-31 17:54:57.921 INFO NET: remove: client 40 2018-01-31 17:55:01.268 INFO LuaNET: wrote file: BFPlayers.json 2018-01-31 17:55:01.268 INFO LuaNET: clients.json updated 2018-01-31 17:55:02.927 INFO SCRIPTING: Sending UDP Update to GameGUI - remove-life 2018-01-31 17:55:02.937 INFO LuaNET: Received: {"data":{"count":0,"player":"Baguette 1-3 | Kathryl","unit":{"category":"helicopter","coalition":"red","groupId":2200,"groupName":"Tuapse #003","point":{"x":-96765.991999999,"y":387572.28657143},"type":"Ka-50","unitId":3795,"unitName":"Pilot #900"}},"type":"remove-life"} 2018-01-31 17:55:02.937 INFO LuaNET: Changing Player Life for d29057f58295fdf3cf1c2748cfc01a44 Group ground-attack to 3 2018-01-31 17:55:06.807 INFO EDCORE: try to write dump information 2018-01-31 17:55:06.858 INFO EDCORE: # -------------- 20180131-175506 -------------- 2018-01-31 17:55:06.908 INFO EDCORE: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\Transport.dll 2018-01-31 17:55:06.958 INFO EDCORE: # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at E54A5727 00:00000000 2018-01-31 17:55:07.011 INFO EDCORE: 00000000 00000000 0000:00000000 2018-01-31 17:55:07.062 INFO EDCORE: E54A5727 0016F010 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\Transport.dll ?getEquipmentArgValue@Vehicle_Descriptor@@QEBAMPEBDM@Z()+5337 2018-01-31 17:55:07.112 INFO EDCORE: E54A557D 0016F050 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\Transport.dll ?getEquipmentArgValue@Vehicle_Descriptor@@QEBAMPEBDM@Z()+518D 2018-01-31 17:55:07.212 INFO EDCORE: E5445CEB 0016F0A0 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\Transport.dll ?groundAndNavalAiInit@AI@@YAXXZ()+7CAB 2018-01-31 17:55:07.262 INFO EDCORE: E5452699 0016F0D0 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\Transport.dll ?update@wcColumn@@AEAAXAEAN@Z()+29 2018-01-31 17:55:07.312 INFO EDCORE: E54576C1 0016F100 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\Transport.dll ?setOption@wcColumn@@UEAAXIAEBVParameter@@@Z()+1361 2018-01-31 17:55:07.362 INFO EDCORE: EBC0C373 0016F180 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\World.dll 2018-01-31 17:55:07.412 INFO EDCORE: EBC0C921 0016F1E0 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\World.dll 2018-01-31 17:55:07.462 INFO EDCORE: 3F760536 0016F250 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe 2018-01-31 17:55:07.512 INFO EDCORE: 3F770DF5 0016F2B0 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe 2018-01-31 17:55:07.562 INFO EDCORE: 3F3DB53B 0016F2E0 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe 2018-01-31 17:55:07.612 INFO EDCORE: 3F3DD099 0016F9F0 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe 2018-01-31 17:55:07.663 INFO EDCORE: 3F8EF733 0016FA30 0000:00000000 C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS.exe 2018-01-31 17:55:07.740 INFO EDCORE: 777359CD 0016FA60 0000:00000000 C:\Windows\system32\kernel32.dll BaseThreadInitThunk()+D 2018-01-31 17:55:07.790 INFO EDCORE: 7796A561 0016FAB0 0000:00000000 C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll RtlUserThreadStart()+21 2018-01-31 17:55:08.058 INFO EDCORE: Minidump created.

@Maverick, very nice stuff. I will surely come in to try it out!
