A Question for Online Squads

[Kaiza]

Since around 1.1.1.1, every time we have tried to host a game where we brief and everyone joins together, the server seems to have a tough time. When people join together AI starts warping all over the map and people constantly drop out. It settles down after a while, but warping still occurs through-out the mission. This doesn't seem to occur when the server is open and people join at different times.

 

Additionally if we have more than around 8 players we get guys crashing alot, and it appears that it occurs more frequently when CBUs explode.

 

I was wondering whether any of the squads experience this and whether you have any work arounds.

 

Our server has a pretty good connection, so I dont think it is that.

Can you please give an example of how many are in your squad? Last weekend my friend hosted 6 that all joined at start and there were no issues.

Tonight we had 12 at mission start. From what we have seen in the past, anything from around 8 up seems to cause problems for us?

I've flown in the 104th server a few times the past week with upwards of 20+ in the server, and this is after running for more than 12 hours (quite busy missions too with plenty of AI)

No issues here with 800+ unit missions and 10+ pilots.

Roger, OK thanks.

 

Additionally we get ATC lagging quite extensively, i.e. 'request start' only gets a response after 2-3 mins and when we 'request taxi' the ATC menu is back to 'request start'. This is normally a good indicator that we are going to start having problems.

 

When you do organised missions do you guys all join at once, or do you all jump into spectator first and then join the game once everyone is in?

 

Cheers

For the 476th it's a mix of people joining throughout the mission (large missions running for 24 hrs), or for missions where all flights start at the same time, everyone joining and then unpausing when everyone is in the cockpit and ready to go.

if you have planes warping all over then perhaps your server on its pretty good connection needs a better connection.
