Bug – Missing ground and building textures on Cold War Germany map in multiplayer


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello,

Since the release of the "Cold War Germany" map, we have encountered a problem in multiplayer only:
✅ The map loads perfectly on the server and in single-player (textures and buildings display correctly).
❌ However, all connected clients do not see the ground and building textures (textures are missing or incomplete, despite normal loading).

➡️ The server and clients are on version : DCS World 2.9.16.10523
➡️ Hardware for both clients and server:

  • Server: i5-12600k - i5-14600K, 32-64 GB RAM, RTX 3080TI - 4070 SUPER, Full SSD (system and games)

  • Clients: high-end configurations, at least 32 GB RAM, SSD, RTX GPUs
    ➡️ Same issue with a very light mission (only one aircraft and no scripts).
    ➡️ No differences in version or patches between the server and the clients (on Win 10 , ou Win 11, same issues).
    ➡️ Tested after:

  • Clearing caches (fxo, metashaders2)

  • Running a full dcs_updater.exe cleanup and repair on both server and clients

  • Completely removing and redownloading the map on the clients

➡️ This issue seems to occur only on the Cold War Germany map in multiplayer.
On other maps (Caucasus, Persian Gulf, etc.), everything works fine in multiplayer.


🟠 Summary of the logs (clients)

  • No critical errors (no crashes)

  • No widespread missing shader messages, but some warnings like:

    texture not found
    render target not found
    negative drag of payload
    
  • Ground textures are not loaded in multiplayer (float over water).


💡 Hypothesis

  • Possibly a synchronization issue for ground textures in multiplayer (server/clients).

  • Or a specific bug in the Cold War Germany map for multiplayer use.

  • Network connection is not the issue (tested on LAN – same behavior).


❓ Questions / Requests

✅ Is this a known bug with the Cold War Germany map in multiplayer?
✅ Is there an existing fix or a way to force texture synchronization for clients?
✅ If not, can we provide more logs or access to help investigate?

Thank you in advance for any feedback!
