I am trying to debug why so many clients seem to get timeout when connecting to MP servers. Can I get some info on how the mission is downloaded to the clients ? What port does it use, is there any limiting of how fast it can transfer the mission ? Is there any way of optimising this (a config change etc)? Any ideas from our software creators ?

No I don't think so Bignewy, the mission had been running for ages (4hrs) spawning stuff without issue Just to be clear, the same mission in 2.5.0 did not have this issue Server gets restarted every 6 hrs

Indeed it did effect many servers a week after I reported it .. when they updated to the same build I had been running for a while Just trying to get ahead of this one dude

I defo get that Bignewy, it is a bollocks to track, but none the less it is defo an issue Last time I reported an issue like this was several months ago in another Beta I was kinda ignored, one week later you guys moved that patch into release and on that very same day every server started to crap itself a lot, MP was crippled with that patch for ages See this thread -> https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=194085 It took ED to host a large MP session with debug running to get to the bottom of it (the great ED MP test of 2017)

It is not a crash as such the UI freezes, when you try and click in the window, you get the above message Log just keeps logging ..... then stops, UI freezes, game over man .... game over 2018.04.27_8.51.dcs.zip

Testing out 2.5.1 on our Dedi server Getting some issues with the UI freezing (goes un-responsive) Players cannot connect and current players connection drops If you are on the server when this happens everything in the sim stops When one of our admins clicks on the DCS World host window you get this error Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: DCS.exe Application Version: 2.5.1.16543 Application Timestamp: 5adf71a0 Fault Module Name: StackHash_a61e Fault Module Version: 6.1.7601.23915 Fault Module Timestamp: 59b94ee4 Exception Code: c0000374 Exception Offset: 00000000000bf3e2 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.272.7 Locale ID: 2057 Additional Information 1: a61e Additional Information 2: a61ed5f0ae206f263668709e74a61d72 Additional Information 3: d3d1 Additional Information 4: d3d11d07f390a64c2fdcc38873975310 2.5.0 Was not doing this, 2.5.1 is doing this a LOT

I steam possibly trying to re-install (to the original location) after you moved it maybe ? How did you move it ?

So to re-cap, DCS has now gotten more ineffecient or uses more resources than before Missions designers need to use less resources in their missions .... but ED has no idea of what these limits are ?

I wonder if making a junction point link in Program Files to point Program Files (x86)/DCS World folder would be a work around ? Open a DOS window as admin cd /D C:\Program Files mklink /J "DCS World" "../Program Files (x86)/DCS World" In windows explorer go to C:\Program Files\DCS World\bin right click on DCS.exe -> select Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut) Try running you new desktop shortcut and see if that works ?

Stupid question time ..... DCS is 64 bit, why is it not installing to Program Files instead of Program Files (x86) ?

I wonder if this Shader problem is because people are NOT running DCS as admin?

+1 I have witnessed the crate levitating in the air several times see this thread for some screen shots of it https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=205934 player 1 sees cargo on ground (the silver tank to the right) Player 2 on the server sees the same cargo floating the the sky (silver tank in the sky)

IS this for air units or ground units ?

Our server will has a batch file that only allows people to connect after the server is fully up and running (mission loaded and ready for players)

Testing out the new 2.5.1 on the server now

Silly question about mini gun ... If a person not in that slot does AI mini guner take over ? and if so how do I control him (hold fire etc)

no actually the easiest way would be if polychop did it then it would take us zero seconds

Interesting, though IRL a pilot could indeed himself put on a pair of NVG's onto his helmet anyway ? I like others have posted on this very thread would like NVG for all variants, there is nothing to stop people who want moar realism from ...... not using them by not pressing the NVG button when flying at night That would be a simple way to keep both parties satisfied

One of the variants has NVG, the others do not, I would prefer if the dev would give us a decent reason for why they are resistant to doing this

Ah well thats is a shame, so we will have to edit the config file ourselves to enable NVG for all variants then, bit of a shame you guys cannot do that

+1 for sling loads Also would love NVG to work on all variants

Are you wanting to home in on something ... in single player or multiplayer ?

If you are very lucky you might get away with buying more of exactly the same type (make and model) of RAM and to 16G When I tried that a few years ago it did not work and I ended up having to sell both 8G kits and buying a single 16G kit

Best of my knowledge multi GPU = no improvement Compare the IPC of your current CPU and the 2700x to see if it worth it DCS is pretty much single threaded so more cores aint gonna help you
