Draken35 Posted August 5 Posted August 5 (edited) I have one mission that generates a complex menu using scripts, it works as designed in SP and local MP but when launched in a dedicated server, the menus are no generated correctly. Both, client machine and dedicated server, are at the same patch level. No errors in the DCS log and bread crumb tracing indicates that the menus are generated in the same way in both computers...This is how is should look and how it looks in SP & local MP: Now, this is how it looks in the Dedicate Server: Now, I have done some testing (simplified mission, different map) that seems to indicate that this is not a general DCS MP bug but an issue related either with the mission or my dedicated server, but I ran out of ideas at the moment of what to check or how to troubleshoot further, so , if you have any ideas or pointers, please, let me know.

HC_Official Posted August 5 Posted August 5 disconnect, then reconnect to server does it show up now ? No more pre-orders Click here for tutorials for using Virpil Hardware and Software Click here for Virpil Flight equipment dimensions and pictures. .

I've seen that before and IIRC (not our server guy) it came from too many options/layers in the menu. Ended up rearranging things to get it to consistently show.

Ended up rearranging things to get it to consistently show. There might be something to this... Just did a quick test limiting the number or "missions" displayed in the menu to 1 per category and it does render the menus correctly... I will do some more testing and analysis tomorrow. Puzzling things is that the standalone client has not issues and the dedicate server does... Perhaps the menu rendering code is not the same. (BTW, my client PC and dedicated server differ only in GPU and total HD size)
Draken35 Posted August 6 Author Posted August 6 It was definitely the amount of menu entries... Had to rearrange some mission flows to fix. My estimate is the the dedicated server supports only between 10 and 20% of the total menu items supported by the client.
