bumblebomb Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 Strangest thing today in multiplayer: en route to the action I fire up the TGP and crosshair comes on, I can't slew though. Exited the page and wanted to re-enter, from that on all SA pages were unavailable. Button would move when pressed but MFD = no response. Open Beta, patched to whatever is latest on 08dec2019. AC was auto-started, so was another player's which worked fine. Mine showed quite a few BIT tests not good, but whil flying I was tracking the wing on Data Link, so it did work for a while till I fenced in. Bug? Feature? Wrath of the gods?
atazar Posted December 8, 2019 Posted December 8, 2019 Red side or blue side? In the previous update, the red side did not get AWACS data. For that reason I had to suppress an online cooperative mission.
Ziptie Posted December 9, 2019 Posted December 9, 2019 Sounds like an isolated bug. I'd suggest running the DCS openbeta repair tool (which you can find from the start menu of your computer, located within the DCS installation folder).

bumblebomb Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 atazar: blue. daarseth: can't hurt, but still would be weird. what sort of bug is fixed by running file repair when the disk is ok.

It is simply related to DCS files. Sometimes things go awry - and is a tool that I run every day (personally). Never found a downside to doing it.

ED Team Wags Posted December 9, 2019 ED Team Posted December 9, 2019 Weekend before last I spent a good 8 to 10 hours online on various servers (under an alias). I did see this on a few, but with others I never saw it. Given this, I suspect it has something to do with how the mission was created. I'm afraid though that I don't have an answer yet as to what mission creation variable is causing this for some online servers.

bumblebomb Posted December 9, 2019 Author Posted December 9, 2019 It is possible that the mission was created before a patchday, but then again, we had 10 Hornets in the air and nobody but me had any issues with it. I could ask the author to provide the miz file, if it helps.

I could ask the author to provide the miz file, if it helps. To be fair, that makes me think even more that it is something related specifically to your files.... Have you tried run the repair tool yet?
