Please ED, stop denying this issue. There are multiple threads about it for several months, but no reply from ED. The community is very annoyed with this error.

Again, here is what happens :

Sometimes when people start up multiplayer, enter their name and password and press connect, the program ctd's before the list of available servers is printed on the screen. It can take up to 30 minutes before they can get to the masterserverlist again. During that time the program will ctd each time the player tries to connect to the masterserver. And then (after those 30 minutes) -without anything being changed on the computer (no reboot, no parameters changed)- all of a sudden the player can connect again. When this happens it is not a single pilot that can not connect, but multiple players from different continents are experiecing the same thing at the same time.

So somewhere in the communication with the masterserver there is a flaw. Is it in the (players') client or is the masterserver not replying in time/sending invalid information ? That is for ED to find out. But the problem is real. I've asked in posts in this forum if ED is aware of this problem but did not get an answer.

 

Second problem that we're dragging along for a long time (too long ?) is that servers get dropped from the masterserverlist after some time, eventhough they are still up and running and can be joined by using direct IP. This issue has been discussed with Ed and I (and several other players) have provided log-files of this issue to ED. We even had a reply two months ago that ED got usefull information from those logfiles, but the issue still exists today.

 

So, again, does ED know about these issues, and is action being taken to fix them ?

Able to log in now, no reboot, no changes made just able to log in all of a sudden! Strange!

Finded a solution: close Teamspeak, run DCS World Multiplayer, connecto to Master Server and then launch Teamspeak again. You can also mute TS instead of closing it. It worked for all of us today.

[JorgeIII]

Well after reading the forum this problem seems to be related to Master server, to come and go, last arround 30' while most or all the players can't log in and get a CTD and then go away and everything its working ok again for a few hours.

It's very funny, most of us started changing things in ower PCs while the problem lasted (booting, unplugging peripherials like trackir, muting TS, etc) and after 30' when this problem temporary remited from de M Server side we asociated what we where doing with a solution. Many "solutions" posted in other threads...jaja.

Hope it dosent take too long for a real solution.

 

Of course, next time it happeds, the first thing i'm gona do is close TS...

I didn't have TS running when I experianced the problem. I didn't have any external programs running just DCS World.
