Multiplayer Crashing on Sign-in

[Mosley]

so this also means we are not seeing all the servers available correct? Seems like no one is playing MP

 

From the way I understand it once the ammount of servers goes over a certian number due to the bug in the 3rd party dll the game crashes. So the solution is to wait until the bug where servers no longer show up on the master list (seperate bug), once its below the crashing number we can all login again.

 

They tried limiting the number of servers the master server would respond with to say 20, but this solved nothing and the game still crashed... they reverted it back to the normal setting...

 

Hopefully they have actually found the problem and it gets fixed.

Yep we noticed this as well, not all servers are listed even now. Not much we can do untill the patch comes out. Tunngle works every time though if you know everyone you fly with.

yes had the same tonight, after I had a weapons.dll crash I could not get back into the shrek server as it had dropped from the list, also could not connect via I.P as it just said connection interrupted all the time. :(

Hi,

 

Problem: Connecting to the multiplayer login masterserver causes a CTD after a successful login and before the serverlist is being loaded.

 

Occurance: Since the connection to a gameserver was lost. Since then, everytime I try to login to the masterserver. The crash does not produce an errorlog normally located in "Saved Games\DCS\Logs".

 

Windows "DCS has stopped working" error window says that MSVCR100.dll is causing the issue. Reinstalling the MS C++ Redistributables fixed the problem temporally, but after disconnecting from a DCS:W gameserver and trying to reconnect to the masterserver, the same problem occures.

 

Last message written to dcs.log:

00025.068 INFO NET: sent serverlist request

 

Looking forward to provide further information as requested.

 

I am glad I stopped by. I just downloaded the DCS World Update 2 days ago, the Warthog and Mustang. I am not getting the World servers in MP. It is very sporadic. Wonder if it is just World or the others, too? If you'all are experiencing this, then it isn't just isolated on my end. I do not want to have to reload it all over again. I am using a SLI GeForce nVidia video cards setup.

 

Wish you guys better days.

Sorry, unable to reproduce.

Did this behaviour start at some date / day?

- If so, I may suspect it may be something related to the master-server updates.

Or has it been like this since you installed the game?

 

Noticed it worse today, Sunday, September 16th, 2012 on my World 1.2.0 new setup, 2 days ago. Maybe it is worse today as more guys home on weekend off work.

 

I wish to know how multiplayer runs in my C: Windows operating system, Win 7 Pro, 64-bit once the Multiplayer clickable is clicked on in World. What is the path to its being launched?

Hey all, I found this works:

 

Upon starting the the multiplayer client, follow the following steps.

 

1. Cancel the login to master.

2. Select LAN from source and try to connect to the master again.

3. Wait for a period of time (I found it fluctuated between 30 secs to 1 minute)

4. Then select internet from the source and servers should start to populate your list without a CTD.

 

Hope this helps you all experiencing crash to desktop issues. This has worked for me as a fix until ED publish an official one, but I don't want to rush them, waiting for FC3

[ErichVon]

Also make sure with a new install or re-install you are ok with your firewall letting you(plural) in and do a defrag once or twice.

[BIGNEWY]

none of the so called fixes work, its just coincidence.

 

It will only be fixed once the patch has happened.

 

Had the issues tonight getting into our server even though it was in the list, gave up in the end. :(

 

Looking forward to the end of the month FC3 and the mother of all fixes :)

[Biggus]

CTD before the server list comes up at the moment, and has done so for most of the last hour.

[16th Widowmakr]

Two nights in a row now I get the CTD when signing into the master server! NO FLYING for me again tonight! THIS SUX!

[Tailgate]

Master Server CTD happened with me and a few others trying to sign in tonight. It seemed to right itself around 6:00 PM PDT / 0100 Z.

[almonds]

I haven't been able to log on for several days now :(

[Madone]

Just bringing an other voice over here. That's really annoying, DCS get an amount of CTD, that's a pity. I got the "login crash" earlier, now it's resolved, I don't really know how, I tried a bit everything lol. But the connections interrupted are still there on some servers (which are not listed).

IMHO, the team should test the game with more accuracy, so please focus guys and bring us some great updates!

Actually thats what customers are for.

All right, you have had more than ample time to vent, any more of this will be considered trolling, that means posts will be deleted and disciplinary action applied as fit.

Mosley, are you a part of these guys which are always ready to break the fun at the first trouble and rarely to cheer? A software cannot be perfect, there's still some bugs. Yes there's a CTD's with DCS, but that's not a reason to eclipse all the sim. I have more fun than CTD. If you're not happy play something else.

[BIGNEWY]

well we have waited this long, a little longer will not hurt.

 

FC3 and a new patch soon and we will all be happy again :)

 

ED will have it sorted out dont worry :)

[Hamblue]

Hopefully they get it right this time. I think there are many people not playing on-line and are waiting for things to get fixed up. Fingers crossed.

[sparchy]

I for one am waiting anxiously for FC3 to come out but to be honest I doubt I will purchase it until the server issues are fixed. I am not complaining about the time that it is taking to get fixed I am just stating what I am personally going to do. I have purchased all but Combined arms up to this point starting with the very first version of Black shark. Once the CTD issue is fixed I will rush to get FC3. What is most disconcerting is the fact of a lack of information regarding this issue. All we are hearing is that they are looking at it. Perhaps a Update on how they are coming along with it may calm some nerves amongst the clients that have and are purchasing this software?

[Nate--IRL--]

It will be fixed with the next update.

[sparchy]

Any projected date on the update Nate?

Something I dont understand is you were just complaining about the ctd's an then you turn around and poke fun at me for complaining about the same thing.

 

Now with that being said there is a difference between a crash here and there, and the current state of dcs world. crashing on connect is just 1 part of the issue.. what about connection interrupted all the time. What about the servers falling off the master server list... which also happens to be the only reason that after a while the master server starts working again... ( because the ammount of servers is below the threshold that causes the crash.) How about general unstability of Mutliplayer, and the Master server? Its not like there is one or two problems. It would be nice if there were some answers on the other forum postings but they are just as silent about those as they were about this...

 

Sobek sry if you think im trolling but its true.. look at the past releases from ED and they were full of bugs. Some minor, some not so much. I would much rather be in the pit flying around however I cant it crashes to often in multiplayer. In the end tho Opinion isnt wanted here. Only Constructive Feedback.

 

So Great Job with DCS World and btw I love some of the changes that have been made including better cockpit reflections, cbu animations, new explosion look, the plane handling funny at really high speeds or while stalling. Plus many other countless things. I really enjoy my beta.

Sobek sry if you think im trolling but its true..

 

There are only so many times one can repeat an opinion before it's considered trolling. In your instance you have made your opinion on the MP issues abundantly clear on too many occasions and has now ventured into the realms of trolling as envisaged in rule 1.10 of the forum rules. As such, I would strongly suggest that you refrain from further posting on the issues and patiently await the patch that is due to be released addressing these issues.
