torpolm Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) When I selected F-14 in multiplayer role select window,DCS stopped and timed out after some minitue. I tried following:reboot PC,repair DCS,uninstall and reInstall F-14 modules,check other modules(A-10C,FC3,F-18C,AJS-37 etc...)

fl0w Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 EXACT same issue! I tried deleting my shader folders and did not get lucky. I think HB has so many F-14 files and not compact that it takes awhile to load. So much memory is used while loading that you run out of usable memory, thus. TD.

195th_Magic Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'm having the same issue. I'm able to get in ounce in awhile when i enter the server in spectator . let it load for a bit. then i would select a tomcat and finally able to get in, sometimes FC3 | UH-1H | A-10C | F/A-18C | F-16C | F-14B | P-51D | F-5E | AV-8B | Caucasus | Nevada | Normandy | Persian Gulf | The Channel | SuperCarrier | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backspace340 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Sounds like you're all running out of memory - some guys on the server I was playing had this issue and had fixed it by making sure their page file was on a drive with enough free space (at least 40-50gb) and set to system managed (or at least not set to something less than 40-50gb).

bpremus Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Similar for me, however i was able to connect to one server. When i select a tomcat pilot role, the game would freeze for about 10 sec (with brief not responding message), and that is enough for most servers to kick me out due timeout ( i guess a ping spike ).

Larkis Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Had the same issue. I connect to a server, get a timeout after a while but when i click ok the loading screen stays and i need to kill and restart cause there is no way to go back into the menu.

Very few people have more then 10Gb free. How come we need 40gb to be possible get in a server? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make any difference, my page file is over 50gb and I still get timed out. I've never had this issue before. I can load into the server fine, look around in free cam with smooth performance. The second I select F-14, very long load times resulting in connection lost. I get long load times/freezes in Single player too, most of the time resulting in me closing the game. I don't get this in OTHER aircraft, only the F-14 Edited March 14, 2019 by dave9810 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpolm Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 After I did this procedures , sometimes I could fly F-14 in multiplayer. At first,Change graphics setting to "Medium" from "High". Play instant action of F-14 several times (I called this "Preload"). It's effective for small-scale private server only. at larger server like 104th phoenix,DCS always timed out.

bpremus Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 When i was connecting to a server yesterday directly into pilot seat, on a successful try, people reported during that time there was a huge lag spike on a server. Also later test what i did was that i joined as a RIO to one of the in game planes and tomcat loaded right away, then rejoined into front seat instantly on a new slot, can also someone verify if you can overcome server timeout by doing this on your side?

Blackbird30 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I'm having the same multilayer issue, other modules load in no problem. Had this problem in 2018 and it seemed to get fixed after an update. I have 16Gb and 30Gb page file set. I've tried system managed setting as well but no joy.

ElementLT Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Same here ... well almost mine is not actually timing out but it does take a while for the F15 B to load in a mission. Coming Soon...

OnlyforDCS Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I've had this a couple of times, sometimes I could get in the mission fine (after an agonizingly long time of texture pop in) sometimes I timed out. However today I upgraded to a RTX2060 from the GTX970 4GB and the problem is gone. I believe it's a VRAM issue. I believe that 4GB of VRAM seems to be too low for the Tomcat, at least in multiplayer where there are a lot of other player models.

Blackbird30 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Ok update, I just managed to get in 104th server in F14 after adjusting my page file from 30Gbmin 30Gbmax to 50 50Gb. Not sure if it's a one off yet but will keep testing. Intel Core i7 3820 @ 3.60GHz Sandy Bridge-E 32nm Technology Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd.

ED Team m4ti140 Posted March 16, 2019 ED Team Share Posted March 16, 2019 For me it seems to always time out on the first attempt to enter cockpit and then it works after a subsequent reconnect, although it still takes a while to load into cockpit. Loading from SSD with a page file on it, 16 GB RAM. Reducing cockpit texture quality didn't change anything. This was all on a small server, haven't tried a more crowded server yet.

torpolm Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 I tried page file increase 64GB from 10GB,it's too effective! now,I can use F-14 in any multiplayer after once Timed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSX737200 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Very disappointing with Heatblur i can not join any server as it lags out i spent 50 mins trying to join a server and nothing at all they need to Fix it now or im asking money back Poor Effort ED and Crapblur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=OPS=Slider Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) 1st of all, you can't get your money back, read EULA. 2nd, stop crying and upgrade your PC if you can't join any server. Let me guess, old PC with probably 8GB of RAM and HDD... Go back to FSX if you are disappointed. F-14 is a heavy module, if you can't understand and accept that, no one can help you. P. S. Everyone has crashes and timeouts, and the module is out for 5 days... Edited March 17, 2019 by =OPS=Slider1709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
