Maverick87Shaka Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Hi all, We ware usual to restart all our instances, up to 4 but 3 at the moment due to RAM excessive usage of server, whinith 4 minutues of span between each other. What we've notice lately is that the DCS master login server becomes less reliabale, cousing our server to fails to start. Most of the time the fail occurs at 8:00 CET, but we've experience the same behvioour also during other restart window. Any chance we can get an investigation on this? Thanks.

Actium Posted February 16 Posted February 16 I've stumbled over this on a few occasions, too. Unable to reliably reproduce. Server hosted in a proper data center (and the VNC session showing that amazing popup message worked flawlessly), so I'd pinpoint the issue on the ED side of things and not with our respective network connections. The login* failure is exacerbated by the need to acknowledge it manually. This defeats the purpose of a dedicated server, which is to operate autonomously, without the need for admin intervention. Better to either automatically retry until the login succeeds* or fail with a non-zero, documented** exit code (i.e., not a popup message) and let the OS decide about restarting the service. *) Why would a dedicated server need to login before serving a mission anyway? Just start the mission immediately and register with the master server in the background (retrying until it succeeds). What's the potential (financial) harm of letting a free dedicated server start without blessing from the ED master server? **) Sorry. Couldn't help myself. 2
Actium Posted March 3 Posted March 3 @Maverick87Shaka I took the liberty to file a bug report related to this. Not regarding the sometimes unreliable master server itself, but instead about DCS_server.exe bricking itself when it happens: 1
Maverick87Shaka Posted March 4 Author Posted March 4 Thanks to link also the other thread, the unreliability of master login server is still an issue, and it looks like it's still more often around the 08:00 CET rather than others reboot. @BIGNEWY can you raise the attention of the team on this issue pls? It's already reported internally? Actually on facebook groups I see even more frequent error comes for the client too, the feeling is that the situation is not getting any better, maybe worst than before Regards, FlighRIG => CPU: RyZen 5900x | RAM: 64GB Corsair 3000Mhz | GPU: nVIDIA RTX 4090 FE | OS Storage: SSD NVMe Samsung 850 Pro 512GB, DCS Storage: SSD NVMe Sabrent 1TB | Device: Multipurpose-UFC, VirPil T-50, TM WARTHOG Throttle, TrackHat, MFD Cougar with screen.
