It's becoming extremely difficult making DCS videos now

[Gunfreak]

When 2,9 came out, the tracks improved, meaning that as long as I used a dedicated server (that gives me two tracks) I had a 90% chance of the track working 90% of the time.

However with the latest patches, the tracks are now worse than ever, weapons don't release from aircraft during tracks, your fighter will fire into empty sky.  On top of that I've now started to get "mission load fail" on my tracks, something I never did before. Now I have less then 50% chance of getting anything useful out of my tracks. (unless I get mission load fail, then I won't have any useful track file)

There are many reasons for a track replay not playing correctly. Usually with multiplayer track replays it is due to scripts or external databases not being available for the replay. 

if you want us to check something specifically please give us more details about the session and include a track replay / miz of the mission so we can take a look. 

thank you

No external scripts. No mods.

Track file is too big to load up

[BIGNEWY]

You can try to reproduce in a shorter track which would be helpful. 

Or you can try a cloud link to the file.

The DCS track 200 is the one I get mission load fail on and is the one automatically save in my DCS multiplayer track, I never got mission load fail until a few weeks ago.

The one called dedicated server track, is the one that is automatically saved in my dedicated server multiplayer folder. This one "works" as in it runs, but nothing is where it should be, I just shoot into nothing instead of aircraft.

I‘ve had this a lot as well. It completely stopped occurring when I started to quit sessions with the „Quit to desktop“ option instead of „Quit“ or „Leave server“.

YMMV.

For me the same since some Patch in August Sep, every MP Track quits with "Mission Load FAIL", not matter witch Server or i quit to desktop or main menue.
Not singel one that was working for me at least in MP, no Mod's installed.
Like gunfreak said absolut impossible for me as well unable to make sadly any video content out of the replays.

I've tired the several times now. And i still get mission load fail

I've spent several hours making and flying a mission to make a good exiting mission.

Now all that is wasted as both tracks (dedicated server and dcs track) get mission load fail.

I know if use an HMD for locking up enemies and you don’t stay in the cockpit view that replicates your head movements, you will not actually lock anyone up in the replay track and therefore your missile will not track once fired. That one is annoying.
