virgo47 Posted November 13 Posted November 13 This is my first hour with the dedicated server - I just needed to check one mission on the Caucasus, so I installed only that. I was quite impressed how well it all started, I like the console, etc. However, just the first attempt to stop one mission and load another one ended with the following error: ERROR ASYNCNET server_start failed: game already started Server UI clearly indicates the server is offline. I thought the DCS game itself collides with the dedicated server - but no, that is not the case. I always need to close the server window (that splashscreen) and restart it. Then it works. But obviously, that takes much more time. What can be the reason behind the server thinking it is running when it is indicated not to?

HC_Official Posted November 13 Posted November 13 you dont stop the current mission, you just (if necessary) add the new mission to the list and then run it 1 No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .
virgo47 Posted November 13 Author Posted November 13 Ah... so there are buttons that are kinda dangerous... My problem was I was trying to develop a mission so I needed to upload a newer and newer version. You can't delete an unused mission - the file is still locked - so I added more missions instead. But eventually, the UI reported different mission as already running in the list than the one that was shown in the upper half and I couldn't switch it no matter what. So for reliable testing, the best course of action is to restart the server occasionally. Better be sure what is happening than being confused. Normally I just run the mission from the ME, but here I was hunting for an event that didn't work on MP dedicated server. But I figured it out and the dedicated server served its purpose.

But the last advice was not relevant for me - because I really have as simple totally fresh setup as possible.
