D4n Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 So ED have you found out what the cause is? Is this the SAM code or caused by players totally somewhere else on the map (but in same server) crashing or getting shot? We need a hotfix, urgent!

counter25 Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 I am having the same problem. Multiplayer is mostly not enjoyable anymore. That makes me very sad, especially so short before the launch of the long awaited F/A-18C. :(
counter25 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Hey! I just found this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=203614 It solved all stuttering and joining problems for me. The game is smooth as silk now. It is just a bit annoying to manually trigger the RAM trimming periodically. I can finally play online again.
D4n Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 "RAM trimming" ? What sort of magic is that?

counter25 Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 It forces DCS to give up some allocated ram and return it to the OS.
D4n Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 But I have 16 GB RAM and never more than 15.5 GB in use while playing DCS...

counter25 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 That seems to be the issue to me. I also have 16 GB and it uses more than 15 GB as well. As soon as I click on the smart trim function the RAM usage from DCS goes down significantly without noticing any change in the game. When playing on large missions the trimmed RAM is low but when playing on average missions it can be multiple GBs. Since I am doing this I have significantly less problems. I still have a freeze here and there but very rarely.
Dagger71 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Issue that's been around since 2.0 Open alpha days (mid 2017 at least) This is probably going to take months possibly years to fix. No hotfix is going to stabilize the entire netcode. Daniel I thought you were told multiple times to just report bugs and NOT place time constraints. You obviously have no coding/programming experience, so you have NO idea how long it will take to fix a bug/issue. counter25, I also use process lasso and recommend it to anyone having issues. However it will only help the client side, not server lag caused by various units in game. Edited June 4, 2018 by Dagger71
D4n Posted June 4, 2018 Author Posted June 4, 2018 I heard (and believe) that it really is an issue with the collision/damaged 3D models loading the moment some aircraft crashes/gets hit. ED should be aware of this and pre-load all damagemodels upon joining a multiplayer server. OR it is variant 2: SAM guidance code interfering with multiplayer experience DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.
