Thanks for your reply, Maverick. I began considering that last night. You’re probably on the right track and as a result, as am I. Thanks!

Hello All - I've managed to get the open beta dedicated server running but I have a strange issue I'm not seeing anywhere. When I launch the game (whether I use the shortcut the app creates that runs the updater first or a direct shortcut to dcs.exe), the server window will appear ok at first, then go to "Not Responding". If I leave it there to do its thing, it eventually starts (after 5 minutes) like nothing happened. It shows up in the public global list of servers and anyone can connect to it. But when they connect, they're stuck at the "loading" screen for 5 minutes again. Then they're suddenly in like normal. I have more than enough horsepower to run everything needed. This is a new install of the open beta dedicated server. Specs below: Windows Server 2022 6 CPU Cores @ 4.9GHz 16GB RAM 500GB on locally attached SSD array It is a virtual machine running on a Linux KVM host. No other VMs are running at the time so the VM has all of the resources of the host available (which are considerable). When I use the Windows Resource Monitor to analyze the wait chain, it indicates two threads of dcs.exe are waiting for network I/O. I'd love to know if any of you have seen same

RedBeard2 - I...I...wow. Thank you! Not only for this guide but your work in the F3 community and IHHD. You're a true legend in my book. I'm just getting started in the DCS arena but am damn glad to see you here, sir. I suddenly have much higher hopes for the future of DCS.
