Coop Campaigns

Recommended Posts

Simple wish: Make coop campaigns possible. I'm a bit puzzled why this is still not a thing. The DCS campaign menu doesn't even allow for multiplayer coop...

It would require a little extra tweaking but I'm sure they would sell more campaigns as well.

Depends. For multicrew aircraft it would require no tweaking at all. All it requires is that DCS would provide the interface to play campaigns online. So far you can only play them as single missions... if you have the missionn files, which is not the case for paid campaigns.

So many great campaigns are being released currently and NONE of them can be enjoyed together with friends in coop! It's so frustrating! :mad:

Yeah, and it should be an easy addition too, literally copy and paste the missions and just alter the slots. Should take seconds to do per mission.

The missions are not really the problem, as it is already very easy to convert a SP mission for coop use. The problem is the DCS campaign framework, which doesn't allow for multiplayer. That needs to change!

Just click on "Campaign" in the DCS main menu. It's totally seperated from multiplayer and offers no possibility to host a session.

The multiplayer menu on the other hand only allows for hosting single missions, but not campaigns.

 

So ED either needs to create the option to host campaigns through the multiplayer menu or include the option to host a session in the campaign menu.

I thought you could populate the the multiplayer host's mission list for the campaign with the individual missions, though it would be kinda annoying having to shut down the server and start it up again every time you switch missions. Unless there's something that lets you do it.

You can actually switch missions without restarting the server already. That's not playing a campaign though, that's playing single missions.

It does work as a workaround for unprotected campaigns, where you can access the individual missions. It's not very user friendly though.

It does not work at all for protected DLC campaigns though, as you can't access the individual missions because of the copy protection.

Yeah, I guess so.
