Multiplayer server killer bug

[Mustang]

just want to bring to ED's attention a bug in LOMAC which can kill the server, i'll try my best to explain what it is.....has anyone noticed the dramatic server wide FPS drops in certain servers? well i think it's a bug with the RECOVER option....when someone dies, their old aircraft stays in the game warping through the terrain at incredible speeds, but pressing F2 view also shows the same person respawned spooling up on the apron.

over time, if it goes unchecked, the FPS steadly starts to drop eventually resulting in screen freezes and other unpleasent things, such as a total server lock-up....oh, and this can be an absolute nightmare when the externals are off, you have no way of telling if it's occuring or not until the FPS starts to fall......

We have many fixes for 1.1 including asincnet (internet MP) protocol.

I hope MP game will more stable.

Yeah I have noticed that. Me and my squad were in a training mission and then one of our pilots crashed. His plane (an F-15) began flying over the black Sea at 100 000 Km/h!

 

We started laughing and saying that was the new version of the Eagle, the F-15X lol.

 

Then when the mission was finish and we started landing the FPS became sooooo low, and then my screen freezed...the problem is it was not only my screen to freeze, others did as well.

lol ... Chizh... you hope ? wasn't this tested ? Don't scare me here...

 

also I'd like to know if overall performance was improved... Right now it's disapointing that people have to use very low settings on decent machines.

for example I have a P4 @ 2.1 9800 pro and 1.5 gig of DDR 333 and I still have to set everything to low to have a barely playable multiplayer experience...

 

I have also noticed that one of the reasons for warping planes is that the player's machine is lagged out ... If more people would be able to get higher FPS the mutiplayer play would be greatly improved.

 

Don't get me wrong, love this sim , just thinking that if it was "optimised" maybe we would see 900 people in HL under Lockon too...

 

and that my respected ED friends would mean $$$$$$$$$$$

 

Keep up the good work

I think Chizh means 'It worked fine under laboratory test conditions, but you never know 'till you let it out i nteh wild'
