FlightControl Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Message from mission creator GORI VALLEY... When logging into the DCS Belgium server, running dcs world version 1.2.14.36041, and hosting the mission Gori Valley, have now the that the clients crash... Actually all players now trying to play this mission are complaining. These are clients running the latest version 1.2.14.36041. The server runs smooth, nothing to see there. I've reverted the client back to version 1.2.14.35734, and the client can login without a single crash. To ED dev team: 1. Why is there a beta test stream if ed doesn't allow server hosters and mission designers to test first... Beta versions seem to pop-up at random and without clear communication. 2. Production releases are one or two days after released after beta. Can we please arrange that when a new release or patch is published, that some people hosting complicated missions are informed on time and get the chance to test before the release??? It would improve the stability of your releases. Anyway. Can this message please be forwarded to the dev team? So now the clients are crashing this time... Fixes will take again weeks probably.

tob.s Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Hi, i can confirm that i wasnt able to join this particular server after the latest update. heres a crashlog of when i tried to join the server.

Grimes Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 The crash has already been reported. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Invisibull Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 The crash has already been reported. Yes, and thanks for that, Grimes. The issue is that missions taking hours upon hours to put together and being enjoyed by full servers of pilots are suddenly booting all clients with no word whatsoever from ED about when we can expect them to work again. i9 9900k - GTX 2080 Ti - MSI Z87 GD65 Mobo - 64GB HyperX Predator RGB DDR4 3200MHz - Win10 64 bit - TM Warthog w FSSB R3 mod - TrackIr 5.
FlightControl Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 I am shutting down dcs Belgium server running Gori valley until a new patch is released. No use to see people logging in and then logging out within 1 minute due to their client crashing. Next week I am not far from home, so if ed dev and quality assurance team wants me to assist with any testing, I would be happy to test a patch on beta!

Midnight Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Hi sven, yes I lost functionality in 90 percent of my missions too. I will only be running basic free flight missions till the issue is resolved, very frustrating!
Derbysieger Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 +1 I thought the Beta version was there to test for bugs like this. This isn't a minor bug. It affects a lot of missions we play so I hope ED will fix it ASAP.

xaoslaad Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 @Op if you want to know when there are beta ipdates maybe subscribe to the news forum? Maybe even uses Tapatalk or something to get push notifications. Then you'll know when there is an update? Then you can check it out ASAP without expecting ED to notify you personally and wait for your approval?
tob.s Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 hi i already wondered why there are less and less "real" missions despite from free flight and target pratice maps - so as we now know the problem and we dont know when it will be fixed, i think we should spread the knowledge and make the pilots revert to 1.2.14.35734. Maybee by adding a "Attention - this mission requires a downgrade to version ... or youll crash to desktop - see forum post...for instructions" at the top off the mission description ( i guess many pilots wont know which exact version number theyre running, so just adding 1.2.14.35734 to the server name wont help much ). greetings tobs

Wolf Rider Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Things are tested as much as they can be, then released "into the wild" (so to speak) whereupon, more bugs are found and squashed.

FlightControl Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Debatable. One of the core functions is causing the crash. If it would have been tested, it would have been identified immediately. So it was not tested. Note that half of the mp servers are now not hosting any mission that uses coalition.addGroup(). The suggestions were proactive, not destructive in nature. You'll find on the forums beta test threads on 1.2.7 and 1.2.8. Why not 1.2.14 and sequent?

xaoslaad Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) The News forum did not communicate when the beta was available. ... Sven Any update to Stable or Open Beta is ALWAYS announced in the Official Updates sub-forum. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135945 Jan 16 OB Jan 21 Stable All that was changed between Open Beta and release was a manual and logbook fix. Would ED have stopped the release if they were alerted? I can't say, but you had time to test. You as a hoster were in no way prevented or discouraged from participating. I host a dedicated server as well. I was able to test. I'd love to sign an NDA and be a super secret ED tester, but the argument that hoster = special attention is a pretty weak one to me.

I see. And you are right. The patch was available in open beta from the 16th right? Well, in that case i should have tested on beta and the problem would have been identified earlier. So all the posts above are obscolete. I will remove them. I need to read more carefully the update posts then.

maks Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Hello sven, Did not know we had a hometown server in antwerp? 8) Have to jump in and finally hear some antwaarps in dcs ! Maks
FlightControl Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Hey Maks, Yes we do my friend, and right from the center of the city :-) recht bij 't stadspark. And the missions hosted are a bit more challenging and full, than virtual flying around pilot stuff :-) Watch for DCS Server Belgium somewhere in two weeks (currently shut down).

FlightControl Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Dear ED, When is the bug with the addGroup going to be fixed??? This is now taking more than 1 month... I mean, most of the great multi player missions at DCS are out of order due to the addGroup bug. Hope you understand. Can something be communicated please on this one?

Marioshata Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 They don't seem to care much. Very, very disappointing. :drunk:
audax Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I don't see anything related to this bug in the new patch notes for .15. It would be a new low if they didn't fix it :D
FlightControl Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 It is on the list: Fixed cliënt crash with coalition.addGroup... Sure the issue will be fixed now.

FubarBundy Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 "Fixed client crash on script coalition.addGroup()" is this what we were waiting for?... not tested yet but hope so :)
FlightControl Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Yes. This is what we all have been waiting for :) I have an ready test. I'll start Gori valley mission on my server tomorrow, because most units are dynamically spawned in this mission.

FlightControl Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 DCS Belgium server is up with Gori Valley using DCS version 1.2.15 beta.

FlightControl Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 I have the fear that the addGroup bug is still not fixed... I've been running the server beta today, seen 2 users logging into the mission, but they were kicked out immediately. Can you please do an effort for those running beta 1.2.15, to log into the DCS Belgium Server, and check if the login works for you. If not, please report here your experience. Thank you.
