I just happened to see this. The best way to reach us about server issues is through our Discord server, but I'll make a note to move away from 38.

The AIM-9L, AIM-9M, AIM-9X, and CAP-9M are available at airports for the F/A-18C on pylons 2 and 8 even when inventory is set to 0 for all AA missiles in the mission editor. Repro steps: In the mission editor, disable Unlimited Munitions for an airport and set AA missiles initial value to 0 for all rows using Clear col. Do this for all other categories as well (AG missiles, AG rockets, etc.). Ensure there is at least one F/A-18C spawn at this airport. Save the mission. Load the mission as a new multiplayer server and use the F/A-18C spawn. On the refuel and rearm menu, observe that the following AIR-TO-AIR missiles are available for pylons 2 and 8: LAU-115C LAU-127 AIM-9L Sidewinder IR AAM LAU-115C LAU-127 AIM-9M Sidewinder IR AAM LAU-115C LAU-127 AIM-9X Sidewinder IR AAM LAU-115C LAU-127 AIM-9X CAP-9M Notes: The mission editor refers to these armaments under a different name: AIM-9L AIM-9M Sidewinder IR AAM AIM-9X Sidewinder IR AAM CAP-9M Additionally, if those missiles are selected as available in the mission editor, the F/A-18C is capable of loading AIM-9 munitions on other pylons beyond 2 and 8. This bug may have come into existence with DCS World 2.5.3.21144 following a crash bug described in this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=218255

I actually don't know the address of the master server. I could probably figure it out, but if you have a quick reference to it, paste it here. I'll see about adding some additional diagnostics that get performed when my session manager catches those error conditions and forces a server restart.

I have been seeing Aerobatics Online continue to drop from the ED master list. This has been happening more frequently. In all cases, there are indications in the dcs.log that the server has dropped offline, however, the only way to recover the server is to restart it. As of right now, I'm catching three conditions: 2019-11-19 05:50:52.233 ERROR DCS: Failed to get authorization data. Error code is: 502 or 2019-11-19 19:41:36.446 ERROR NET: Session check failed: 401 or 2019-11-24 03:00:08.839 ERROR NET: HTTP request dcs:checksession failed with error 28: Timeout was reached Once these start appearing, the server is guaranteed to be off of the master server and the only way to get it back is to restart DCS. As you can see from the date stamps, these are all recent errors. There are two issues here: 1) something is happening with the master server <--> game client where the application enters an error state, and 2) the game client running DCS Dedicated does not know how to recover from this error state. These are independent issues and ideally, both things should be fixed. This seems to be happening more as of late, but these problems seem to have been a part of DCS world for about the last six months. Logs attached. logs.zip

This is still an open bug on the latest OpenBeta. Please don't merge this with release until it's fixed. 2019-06-22 13:38:20.699 INFO EDCORE: try to write dump information 2019-06-22 13:38:20.744 INFO EDCORE: # -------------- 20190622-133821 -------------- 2019-06-22 13:38:20.759 INFO EDCORE: DCS/2.5.5.32533 (x86_64; Windows NT 10.0.14393) 2019-06-22 13:38:20.774 INFO EDCORE: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\Flight.dll 2019-06-22 13:38:20.790 INFO EDCORE: # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 7F22D795 00:00000000 2019-06-22 13:38:20.821 INFO EDCORE: SymInit: Symbol-SearchPath: '.;C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta;C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32;SRV*C:\websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols;', symOptions: 530, UserName: 'dcs' 2019-06-22 13:38:20.837 INFO EDCORE: OS-Version: 10.0.14393 () 0x100-0x1 2019-06-22 13:38:24.633 INFO EDCORE: 0x000000000004D795 (Flight): ClientData::Position + 0x35 2019-06-22 13:38:24.650 INFO EDCORE: 0x000000000006B5E6 (Flight): LSO::onTouchDown + 0xC6 2019-06-22 13:38:24.665 INFO EDCORE: 0x000000000007BFC0 (Transport): woShip::onTouchDown + 0x170 2019-06-22 13:38:24.680 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000004CC541 (DCS): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.696 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000002705B1 (DCS): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.711 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000004CE9B1 (DCS): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.726 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000004D13F7 (DCS): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.742 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000004CF6E8 (DCS): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.757 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000000002D11 (World): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.773 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000000031DF (World): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.788 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000000555102 (DCS): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.819 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000000564808 (DCS): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.835 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000000537BE4 (DCS): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.850 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000001B012F (DCS): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.866 INFO EDCORE: 0x0000000000719166 (DCS): (function-name not available) + 0x0 2019-06-22 13:38:24.880 INFO EDCORE: 0x00000000000084D4 (KERNEL32): BaseThreadInitThunk + 0x14 2019-06-22 13:38:24.896 INFO EDCORE: 0x000000000006E851 (ntdll): RtlUserThreadStart + 0x21 2019-06-22 13:38:26.321 INFO EDCORE: Minidump created.

Our server crashing never abated either, even after my mission modification and after the Friday OpenBeta update. @NineLine, has this been reported or acknowledged yet?

On AO Caucasus OpenBeta, we have a static carrier (Admiral Kuznetsov) near Batumi that is opposite coalition (blue) of all player aircraft (red). By landing on it or doing landing operations nearby in an F-14, I've caused the server to crash twice. Attached are two crash logs for context: * hookDown_dcs.log: after initial approach, I broke for the pattern and put the hook down. * landed_dcs.log: landed on the carrier with a straight in approach. I was not able to reproduce this using an actual ship, just a static ship. Both the F-14 and F-18 seem to cause the crash in these circumstances. I've removed the static ships on the map temporarily until this is fixed. hookDown_dcs.zip landed_dcs.zip

Confirming that this is also happening on Aerobatics Online, and started with the first 2.5.5 update. I have also seen this SymInit: Symbol-SearchPath crash associated with Transport.dll, but it is predominantly with Flight.dll.

I am the maintainer for Aerobatics Online. Ultimately, the rules exist to keep things fun for everyone, but shouldn’t get in the way. I’ve already posted the below response in our Discord server’s #admin-help channel, but I’ll cross post it here as well: For everyone, admins, moderators, and players alike - keep rule #2 in mind: Show respect to other players. Do not engage in personal attacks or trolling of other players. This includes being courteous with where and how you fly and to not interfere with another's flight experience on the server. We have discussed what to do about the increasing number of player to player ramp strikes from low passes, as well as the new persistent airport damage that was recently implemented by ED. Our moderators were asked to police high speed, low pass flights over the ramp to reduce trolling, but there were no explicit guidelines on how to accomplish that. At the moment, we're considering scripting to prevent people from doing high speed passes over the ramp at very low altitudes (e.g., 50') but this idea is still being evaluated and there's no ETA for implementation. At present, we will continue to enforce rule #2 only. Low passes are not prohibited on Aerobatics Online. We ask that if you do them, be careful and do them over the runway without crashing. Moderators will continue to evaluate player activity and determine if rule #2 is being broken or not. The moderator team is here to make your playing experience better, not worse. If there are issues, please approach the admin team and we will try to find a good solution for everyone.

The Aerobatics Online servers weren't affected by this bug for a long time, but it's crashing us multiple times on every restart now since the last two updates. To put some numbers behind it: 2018-09-19: 6 crashes 2018-09-20: 8 crashes 2018-09-21: 4 crashes 2018-09-22: 12 crashes 2018-09-23: 5 crashes 2018-09-24: 4 crashes 2018-09-25: 8 crashes My automation scripts detect the failure and restart the server, but it takes time and significantly delays server availability when multiple crashes occur in a row. Keep in mind there are only four scheduled restarts in a 24 hour period on AO. I'm just curious what mitigation steps people have taken with regard to automation. I presume that this is related to players connecting early during DCS loading, but my logs don't show evidence of that. Assuming it is that, though, are you server operators manually setting a Windows firewall rule when DCS starts loading and then change it back when DCS is up? Or are you doing something else? I've been able to live with this bug for awhile now, but it's gotten way worse and need to do something. Two crash logs are attached which represent the many others that collect. dcs.log-20180925-200440.zip dcs.log-20180926-020037.zip

Yup, this bug is squashed. Thanks Rik!

That's good, because my solution did not fix things.

I hadn't considered the possibility of the load out being corrupted. I can generate a fresh F-18 load out and apply them to all the F-18 spawns. I'll try that. @USSR_Rik: thanks for looking into this. I'll package up the back-end logic and send it to you privately.

And again, a few minutes later. dcs.log-20180902-211213.zip

Nope, this is still a problem. Yesterday, I first ran the DCS repair, and the server crashed a few hours later. Today I migrated Caucasus OpenBeta to a different server, uninstalled all of the Visual C++ Redistributables, and installed a fresh copy of OpenBeta. I also let it generate a fresh Saved Games\DCS.openbeta profile folder. It didn't take long for the server to crash twice from this same bug in under an hour. Log attached.
