I thought it would be cool if in the future the DCS multiplayer could evolve to allow a player on each team become the battefield commander with the ability to direct air and ground assets, including other players. Have it so that there is an on going ground war with clear objectives and that players joining in progress could be assigned strike orders directly from the human commander. The multiplayer session could last for many hours with many players joining and leaving and there being a conclusion if or not ones ground forces reach their objectives. :) Hey, a guy can dream right? ;)

Another crash for me tonight. It's funny, if it doesn't crash in the 10-20 mins range, it won't crash at all. I played the same mission for 2 hours earlier until my tanks went dry, no problem. Try to fly it again later tonight, and in just ten minutes I get this: --- # -------------- 20090117-065440 -------------- C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 0220FC2D 01:0000EC2D # # EAX = 00000000 # EBX = 40F39078 # ECX = 00000000 # EDX = 00000589 # ESI = 5310DE78 # EDI = 5310C518 # CS:EIP = 0023:0220FC2D # SS:ESP = 002B:0017F840 EBP = 5310CC88 # DS = 002B ES = 002B FS = 0053 GS = 002B # Flags = 00010246 0220FC2D 5310CC88 0001:0000EC2D C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll ?getLength@Road@roads@@QBEMXZ()+D 0220FC2D 5310CC88 0001:0000EC2D C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll ?getLength@Road@roads@@QBEMXZ()+D 3F800000 5310CC8C 0000:00000000 --- What gives?!

I hate to ask this very noobish question but here goes. How do I setup the graphics settings for the multiplayer component? I tried playing multi today but found everything in what seems to be a lower rez and no menu to change it. Single-player works and looks great for me with medium to high quality. Am I missing something?

Hey, In one of your crash logs you got this: --- # -------------- 20090115-013130 -------------- F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 0214FC2D 01:0000EC2D # # EAX = 00000000 # EBX = 45AA1EE0 # ECX = 00000000 # EDX = 8000372F # ESI = 788821F0 # EDI = 7887AE00 # CS:EIP = 001B:0214FC2D # SS:ESP = 0023:0012F840 EBP = 7887DCD0 # DS = 0023 ES = 0023 FS = 003B GS = 0000 # Flags = 00010246 0214FC2D 7887DCD0 0001:0000EC2D F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll ?getLength@Road@roads@@QBEMXZ()+D 0214FC2D 7887DCD0 0001:0000EC2D F:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll ?getLength@Road@roads@@QBEMXZ()+D 3F800000 7887DCD4 0000:00000000 --- I thought I'd let you know I got nearly the exact same crash today and yesterday relating to edTerrain.dll ?getLength@Road@roads@@QBEMXZ()+D as I posted a short time ago in this thread. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=36861 I also have a very different rig from yours being a Q6600 Quad, nVidia 8800GTS, 4 gigs of RAM at 800 and running Vista64. But I do have an Asus P5K-VM motherboard which is somewhat similar to yours I suppose. Anyways, hope this helps squash this bug.

I've had this occasional crash occur while playing the Single Player mission called Battle. My sim will just freeze after about 15 minutes and when I ctrl-alt-del, I'm able to get back to the GUI along with a warning saying DCS.exe stopped working. Sometimes I can play the mission just fine. I need to know if something is wrong with my rig or is this simply a bug which can be fixed in a future patch. --- # -------------- 20090115-064919 -------------- C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 0230FC2D 01:0000EC2D # # EAX = 00000000 # EBX = 3E583470 # ECX = 00000000 # EDX = 00001D06 # ESI = 4A11D3A0 # EDI = 40D0B240 # CS:EIP = 0023:0230FC2D # SS:ESP = 002B:0017F840 EBP = 4A1181D0 # DS = 002B ES = 002B FS = 0053 GS = 002B # Flags = 00010246 0230FC2D 4A1181D0 0001:0000EC2D C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll ?getLength@Road@roads@@QBEMXZ()+D 0230FC2D 4A1181D0 0001:0000EC2D C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll ?getLength@Road@roads@@QBEMXZ()+D 3F800000 4A1181D4 0000:00000000 --- --- # -------------- 20090116-005709 -------------- C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 0094FC2D 01:0000EC2D # # EAX = 00000000 # EBX = 3C029930 # ECX = 00000000 # EDX = 451BA523 # ESI = 3E6FC7D8 # EDI = 4C263528 # CS:EIP = 0023:0094FC2D # SS:ESP = 002B:0017F8B8 EBP = 10FC9A50 # DS = 002B ES = 002B FS = 0053 GS = 002B # Flags = 00010246 0094FC2D 10FC9A50 0001:0000EC2D C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll ?getLength@Road@roads@@QBEMXZ()+D 0094FC2D 10FC9A50 0001:0000EC2D C:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\bin\stable\edTerrain.dll ?getLength@Road@roads@@QBEMXZ()+D 10FBBBB8 10FC9A54 0000:00000000 3E6DC7C8 10FC9A58 0000:00000000 3E478AD8 3E6DC7C8 0000:00000000 63772073 73616C63 0000:00000000 45C7F04D 73616C67 0000:00000000 --- --- Error running Config/autoexec.cfg: cannot open Config/autoexec.cfg: No such file or directory 1/15/2009 19:48 V808201900 World::LoadPlugins: Loaded plugin module CockpitBase.dll Dispatcher: initial random seed = 6954871 Dispatcher: apply random seed = 6954871 Cosmos: Mission date assigned - Year:2009, Month:6, Day:1 loaded from mission Scripts/World/GPS_GNSS.lua Map objects for beacon site Потийский NOT FOUND!
