SgtPappy Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 I have attached the latest log and tracks I managed to collect after my game would freeze today, every time I attempted multicrew with my friend. This happened on two different servers and even after a PC reboot. It happened the last time while using the single threading exe but happened all other 2-3 times on multi-threading. Essentially what we experience visually is that for the CPG, there is regular desync (I do not see it as pilot). Then after we fly for a bit (can be as low as 10 mins, as long as 30 mins or so), my screen will freeze and a few seconds later, my CPG is kicked from the aircraft but remains in the server. Being on a time crunch, I was not able to just wait to see if the game actually crashes after it freezes, but my friend who is flying with me as CPG gets kicked out of the slot (but not the server) every time. At that point I would just bring up task manager and close DCS. Only "mods" I have are SRS, skins and I use AIRIO for Voice Attack (which I was not running at the time).

JSpidey Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 How far away is your friend in relation to you? I have a friend in Germany and we have a really hard time flying without major desync and disconnects with me being from the US. He got a VPN which helps but the further away your crew member is the worse it'll be.

Could it be as simple as just very different ping causing the issue?

That's very likely the case. The only way to work around the problem is a VPN, there might be free VPN services you or him could try but the stability of the connection won't be as good as a paid service. Other than that you could try to find a server that sorta meets in the middle so to speak but the best way to solve the problem is with a VPN unfortunately.

I will try testing this... hopefully we can find a server where our pings won't be too high. Edited May 1, 2023 by SgtPappy 1
