Tuuvas Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 In light of the announcement from Enigma Cold War's Discord Server, it may be best to look into a fix/feature that addresses the issue described below: It seems there is significant server lag caused by many users spamming the join option on a full server, effectively resulting in an unintentional DDOS attack. Perhaps a simple queue system would help prevent this? What are your thoughts? 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naudiz Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 If the issue is as described by the Engima’s team, a solution is sorely needed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma89 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) This problem is unique to our server and is not worth the effort IMO. We are going to be giving our V1 code base publicly to help the other servers. It is not fair for ED to dedicate resources to fix something that is unique to one server. edit: Since the addition of MT there has been a ballooning multiplayer population and now other servers are getting hit so I retract my previous statement, this is probably worth the dev time as multiple servers are getting hit with this now.

SpectreBit Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 No trackfile included, issue not repeatable. Works as intended. Closed and banned. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadel Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Quote This problem is unique to our server Maybe the DDOS component is most commonly an issue for you, but this would be a great quality of life feature for people who regularly play with friends. There's plenty of times on the weekend where servers fill up and if you're trying to fly with a few friends, a queue would be very helpful! I've definitely resorted to attempting to join every 30-60s before, rather than waiting for the god awful refresh rate of the server browser. Good to know that causes performance issues at the server end though. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rurounijones Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) This feature would be very useful for friends wanting to play on popular servers. I have 0 expectations that ED will actually implement this feature in a reasonable timeframe. Please prove me wrong, ED.

SnappyComebacks Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 A server queue feature would be great. There are several servers that I want to play that get full frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gate Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 A server queue would be an incredible quality of life improvement. While it’s only effecting one server at the moment, the player base could grow and this could keep other servers from running into the same issues.

There are other servers in the weekend where spamming the join button is the only way to join with your friends, especially if you're in a medium group of ~6 people. The queueing issue is definitely not an issue solely applicable to your server. Aside from this, a queue system is anno 2023 definitely not some luxury/high-tech feature. It very much complements the MP experience of the online playerbase and could almost be seen as a standard option for the game's online component.

This problem is absolutely not unique to your server. It affects any server that reaches cap, and there are plenty of them. A queue system for servers would be a great improvement to DCS.

Pikey Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 There's a lot of interest right now, the top few servers are full and its not even prime time. I expect it would calm down, but a graceful way of handling this without dumping the problem on the community to fix would be appreciated. You can block slots, I know people aren't releasing anything mainstream and servers seem to compete a little for IP, but there's no reason it cannot be coded right now by allowing 70 players in, but only opening 65 slots with whatever logic you like in between to return those five queued in Spectators. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
