Patch notes discussion June 2023

What is the name of the DCS Sinai Map module for the command line installer?

Thanks

[IceyJones]

servers down for 3 hours now..

this is really really a bad performance and pre-planning by ED.

i guess when the f-15E comes to the harddrive, its better to not even worry about trying to log in for 2-3 days, when such a laughable map release leads to this abysmal performance

 

the the main cuilprit is, that i cant even play the stuff i spend money on here OFFLINE!

what a fking joke this all is

terrains are much larger than modules, so hopefully not again, we have of course passed all of your feedback to the team already and can only apologies about the server issues

Great, thank you

@BIGNEWY

little suggestion for the devs; do not host the locense checking service on the same domain/server.

the fact no body can acces the game due to overload of the website is very stupid.

I have passed on the feedback. 

The problem here is the saved auth that would allow you to continue is tied to a version number, and as it is an update to a new version number and you can not login the saved auth is not applying. It needs to be addressed for sure as it is a weak spot.

Wut? A week spot!

-Kidding.

I guess that we need the service to be autoscale in order to take the traffic on demand....

From the funny side

 

Why everyone going for Sinai vacation at the same day ?

Having a hard time seeing the patch notes (Due to heavy Load)  Can anyone tell me if a fix for spotting in 4K High Res setups was added?   

If it was not, is there a timeframe for its completion? 

i think they are still working on making it useless, once it's either showing no improvement or renders distant contacts as giant blobs that take up half the screen then we'll see it released.

@BIGNEWY     Is there a ETA regarding the Spotting fix for 4K High Res setups?

This has happened time and time again with preorders on popular modules, releases of popular modules etc.

They'll never take this feedback on board. Scaling costs money and there'll certainly be no appetite for spending more money, as little as it costs for droplets, on splitting the auth API out.

 

Nonetheless, great to see Sinai released. In reading some thoughts in various Discords, it apparently has some great performance in VR while also looking great.

@BIGNEWY  Dear ED Team, it has been 3 hours now, is there an update with regards the servers please ?

I hope not, not even I have that much patience

I'm starting to think this is EDs attempt to promote Ralfi's Su 25: Hero to Zero video series, given the Su-25 and P-51 are the only aircraft available.

On a slightly more serious note this is concerning, because (most) software companies have a grace period for click licensing that allow use without server contact for some period of time, and it would appear ED does not.  This is by no means certain, but it's certainly what I see based on the errors.

One DDoS, one bad server day, and all the people who bought licenses are out of luck.  Like I said, Hawk flashbacks.

spotting changes are being tested currently, but I have no ETA to share at this moment

Heya, folks

 

Think about world we are living right now...

 

Think about being gentle... Not upset on everything ! )

It will work again !

[zildac]

Autoscale on any CSP is an option, but primarily splitting out the resources used to service the auth and licensing versus the content download would alleviate this issue. CDNs were built for exactly this. But, it likely requires an architectural overhaul to implement, and I'm guessing that would be no small feat. Be nice....
