Michaelc136 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Found the solution today 1. Run DCS as ADMIN!!!!!! 2. If you are on Windows 8 Beta like me, make sure dcs is put as backwards compatability for windows 7 SP1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder55 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm running Windows 7 64bit and at least 2 times a week I can't login to multiplayer. As soon as I connect to master I get an application crash. Try again an hour or two later and all seems fixed. It's happening right now. Running as admin doesn't solve it for me unfortunately.

BigBlack Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I think ED have changed something recently, I've been away for about a week and haven't changed anything server side or client side. Pre 1.2.0 I paid for two A10c product keys with my account, I put one on the server and the other on my gaming PC and that always worked well, I could have the server running a10c multiplayer and I could have my PC running a10c multiplayer. When DCSW was lunched I could still run both in multiplayer no problems, I only paid for CA once and put that on my gaming PC and could still have both server and PC running multiplayer at the same time. now Im back after being away for a week, I checked that the server is running, I then launch DCSW multiplayer on my PC and get this message. "DCS has stopped working" I though that was odd so I stopped the server and then launched DCSW on my PC sure enough it would start, so then I tried starting the server and got the same message "DCS has stopped working" on the server. My server is a dedicated server at a data center so it's not on LAN. ( [OCB] Server) Can one of the ED people confirm that something has been changed on the "Master Server" or not. Do I now need to pay for CA and put that on the server as well? Maybe there is a thread I have missed that explains all of this? If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

BigfootMSR Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'm sure you can read through this thread and find some solutions that others have tried that fixed their individual problem, but no "real" (I use the term lightly) has been found. At this point, I am sure ED is aware of the issue. My suggestion would be quit completely out of the program, both client and server, and restart them. This fixed MY problem. Only real suggestion I can give you would be to just keep trying till it works and pray there is a fix for it in the next build :) DCS: A10C Warthog JTAC coordinate entry training mission http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/99424/ DCS: Blackshark 2 interactive training missions http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=84612 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlack Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) My suggestion would be quit completely out of the program, both client and server, and restart them. This fixed MY problem. Hi BF, Yeah I tried that unfortunately that didn't work now Im back after being away for a week, I checked that the server is running, I then launch DCSW multiplayer on my PC and get this message. "DCS has stopped working" I though that was odd so I stopped the server and then launched DCSW on my PC sure enough it would start, so then I tried starting the server and got the same message "DCS has stopped working" on the server. That tells me that the master server is seeing my server and gaming PC has the same product key, witch they do not. I'll swap product keys no my gaming PC and report back. Edit: Hmmm yeah I think the old master server is playing tricks, I just did the old " To force activation dialogue to appear hold down Shift button on keyboard and then launch multiplayer game shortcut." and swapped out keys and then put the same key back in and hey presto I could have my serve and PC both running multiplayer. There's no rhyme or reason for all of this, ED I have to ask WHAT IS GOING ON MAN!

VMFA117_Poko Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hmm... I'm not the only one at the moment? I repeat myself from another thread: I noticed that this might not be a master server problem. After loading up MP before login press cancel, choose source "HISTORY" or "LAN" but NOT "INTERNET" then login. It won't crash. You can even connect via IP. It crash only when loading the servers list... Maybe this happens when someone's server name uses strange letters, signs or else...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishMaster Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Poko24, That was the first thing I tried but it won't let you connect via lan or ip until it connects to the master server.

Gisen Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Workaround: When you first start DCS world multiplayer, click CANCEL instead of CONNECT. Then change the source in the top right from "INTERNET" to "HISTORY" (or "LAN"). Then Click "login" in top right. You can now connect by IP to your favourite server. Explanation: It's crashing when it tries to refresh the master list of servers (don't know why but I'm going to say poor programming). Doing the above means it doesnt refresh the master list of servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, running DCS as administrator is a good idea, and it's probably one of the first things you should do when having problems with the game.

ralfidude Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I know this is weird and shouldnt fix things, but it does. Inyour multiplayer options, switch your connection speed to LAN or the highest available option ther, but I think its lan connection. Its weird, btu it has stopped a lot of people from crashing mid game or getting kicked, etc n so forth.

Yes, that's the work-around for the connection interrupted/disconnection/warping issues in multiplayer. Obviously, it is not applicable to the crash on connection to master server issue.

I'm not following all the threads so I do not have the complete pictures of this problem(s). This is "Very frustrating to see a product I payed for simply does not work..." I agree. I don't think a quick fix going to solve this problem(s), do that LAN etc.. click here etc..is not the path to go. I got all the sim's since the Flanker will get all the next ones. Don't get me wrong. Maybe it's time for some more info from DCS regarding status Please? All the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
