Unable to multicrew in 2.8

[Diesel_Thunder]

Been having an issue since 2.8 released in that I am unable to join another player in multicrew capable aircraft. I don't get any errors or crashes with this. What happens is that I will select the role, the pilot will get the message popup on their end, hit accept, and then nothing happens at all on my end. I don't get the acceptance message and my name does not appear in the seat on the selection screen. I've had this happen over multiple sessions, and it does not matter where the aircraft is spawned. I don't know if this is related to the F-14 RIO crash to desktop bug or not, but I've heard of similar issues happening with other multicrew aircraft (Apache).

Here's an example of what is happening. This screenshot is after the pilot accepted the request, it will just sit here with no status change. I've waited for several minutes with no luck. No problem though with hitting cancel and jumping in a single seat aircraft.

Hi Flappie,

I was able to reproduce the problem. Attached is my DCS log. I've also linked a short video that I captured showing what happens as well.

Can you please try entering a RIO seat on another server with a different mission? Does it work?

Experiencing the same issue in AH-64D. Will try to post a track later today.

It can be something related to the mission that is running or some specific server settings?
We've already flown several missions with AH-64D Pilot and CPG in multiplayer without any problem.

Try on another server or hosting a mission with your friend and see what happens.
