Statics not appearing in Multiplayer

[ultrablue2258]

Afternoon,

 

I am working on a mission for a multiplayer operation and when hosting the mission on someone else's server I can't see any of the static units. When I test on my server and in single-player they are there. Any ideas?

[BIGNEWY]

Hi

 

are they all ED statics or are you using mods?

 

can you attach the mission for us to check?

 

also check the server is up to date

Hey Biggy,

 

They are ED statics but I have the Civil Air Craft mod installed, Servers are up to date. Here is the file as requested. I also included the version of CAM which just needs to be dropped into here Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech . https://cam.em-key.de/download-2/

Thanks

 

But any chance you could attach the mission without the mod,

 

If we have an issue and it needs reporting I can not do it with mods attached sorry.

[ultrablue2258]

I'll get you a version without the mod in a few hours when I wake up. But if you would like to do it yourself in the meantime just delete all the units in the top left in the ME.

Hey Biggy,

 

Here is the mission without any mods, the issue still persists.

Thanks for the mission.

 

Was the server up to date?

 

Was it ta dedicated server or a normal server?

[ultrablue2258]

It was on an up to date dedicated server that I'm having issues with, on my "normal" server it worked fine

Thanks,

 

was it any statics in particular, I seem to be seeing them myself.

[ultrablue2258]

It was all of them. Not sure what's up with it. Did you test on a normal or a dedicated?

dedicated server

I've got no idea then. None of the static aircraft were showing up only the vehicles

Try a cleanup and repair on the server.

 

retest and send me the log from the server.

 

thanks

[ultrablue2258]

I'll get it done and sent to you ASAP

As requested here is the DCS.log (in a zip because you can't upload log files apparently) from the server after a repair and cleanup.

Thanks,

 

 

can you run the server without the unofficial mods as well, just to see if you see a difference.

 

As far as I am aware your server is the only one seeing this issue so far.

 

Seeing this error also

We just ran a mission with static C-17s and some ground vehicles on the same server, no mods and still ran into the same issue of not being able to see static aircraft. The same mission was ran on a non-dedicated server and it worked fine. So either is a dedicated server issue or we have a dodgy install on our hands but that should've been fixed by the repair and cleanup right?

[BIGNEWY]

Yeah the cleanup and repair should have been enough.

 

It just can not work out why your server is having the issues, the screenshot I took was from my dedicated server.

 

I will show this thread to a team member and ask for some ideas.

 

thanks

[ultrablue2258]

Cheers, I'll attach in the log files for the C-17 static mission that we used to test on the dedicated and normal servers too, to see if that'll point us in a direction.

Hey Newy,

 

Just tested the mission after this latest update and it the statics now work in vanilla, not to sure about modded yet, so I'll let you know the final result but thanks for the first fix.

Thanks for letting me know.

After some more testing, we have found the issue to only arise when the client has a mod that modifies and adds navigational beacons. We have re produced this with several clients enabling and disabling the particular mod and the statics come and go depending on whether the mod is installed or not.

I would recommend they remove the mod :)

We appreciate your time with helping with this situation, especially with it being an unofficial mod in the end.
