Long wait times to jump into MP slots

[frostycab]

Guys, I've run into a major problem when flying on some multiplayer servers recently. I regularly fly on a private server with no problems, but today we tried flying the Vegas_Helo_Deathmatch mission on it and it took over 12 minutes to actually load into an aircraft every time I tried.

 

This is not specific to this mission and server. I've run into this on various servers from time to time. If I try another server then I can usually load in within a few seconds. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? It doesn't seem to matter if the server is busy or not. It can happen if there are 30 clients or just 3.

@frostycabTry adding DCS main folders as exceptions to your antivirus:

• C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS (or DCS.openbeta)
• \DCS World\ (or \DCS World OpenBeta\)

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Currently downloading 2.7 though, and that'll take around a day, so I'll probably have a go this weekend. Will let you know the results.

There are long wait times getting in and closing down DCS .

Hi @Con. Have you tried adding DCS folders as exceptions yet? If not, give it a go.

 

If things don't get better, your issue may be caused by a faulty drive or a faulty SATA cable (it happened already). You can monitor your drive response time thanks to resmon (Windows Resource Monitor). More info here.

Thank you , i think i found the cause , its Multiplayer . If i load into hoggit takes a while and when i finish DCS is still running in Task manager for quite some time . I think it has to do with memory leaks or 2.7 when using multiplayer . 

If i go single player 2.7 or stable all opens and close as should .
