Endy Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Search Forum for Multiplayer crash or lockups. This seems a relatively new problem for a lot of people, most of the material on the forums is about straight crashes. Moreover, in multiplayer games people are getting it simultaneously, a few at a time, without crashing the server. Some people are unaffected while others just freeze midflight forcing ctrl+alt+del. This is a very serious issue, effectively killing larger multiplayer games and difficult to prove with any logs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptako Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I can confirm it too. We've encountered that issue lately (1.2.2.7570) during 7 ships flight. 4 of us reported freeze at the same time, rest of us was able to fly for 1-2 minutes more and then got freezed too. Server survived it. Edited November 30, 2012 by ptako [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] -- "The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good shit.

Endy Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I hope ED are aware of this. It seems to have appeared with 1.2.2.7286 version during our sessions and persists through 7570. At first we thought it only affected FC3 clients but KA-50 and SU-25 pilots got it as well. Same story every time, suddenly a few people out of the server population get a freeze and need to close the client via task manager. Happened 6-7 times to me during a 3 hour session, and it was similar for other people I played with. This is a major game breaker for any multiplayer activity right now.

AussieM8 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I was on the AEF sever last night and had at least 3 freezes in like 30 minutes. It was so frustrating flying over to engage enemy only to get a screen freeze, Crl, Alt, Delete was the only option. Please ED fix ASAP, as said by Endy "This is a major game breaker for any multiplayer activity right now".

I am not sure though if it's the log showing the freeze issue and connected to something else entirely as it seems most freezes don't leave any kind of crash log. The game doesn't crash as such but stops responding forcing ending the task using task manager. If anyone can provide logs or confirm they even have such after this issue it'd be nice. I don't know what else I can paste here but I hope this issue is being acknowledged and it would be awesome if one of the testers or ED staff acknowledged the existance of the problem and that it's being worked upon. I'm not counting on a miracle fix right this moment but I would love to know that the issue is being noticed at all... Thanks!

gregzagk Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hello! We are facing freezes mostly with the use of FC3. I think that the freezes were mostly when many missiles where on the air or something crashed or exploded. For example we had freezes when a MIG-29 client crashed during taking off. At the other hand during our last mission the Red side fighters had freezes always above the same map area (Close to Gori ) Then the SIM has to close with Ctr +Alt + Delete.The freeze occurs to many clients at the same time. But we have the problem when the clients are above 8. I think that we didn't have any problems when we fly missions with 4-6 people. No tracks available unfortunately :( Hope that helped .:) "ARGO" DCS UH-1H DLC SP Campaign 373vFS DCS World squadron (Greece) - www.buddyspike.net "ARGO 2.0 Project Phoenix" UH-1H DLC Campaign - WIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endy Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 It seems it's very hard to put a finger on the cause. People freeze in different aircraft, doing totally different things. And this might cause multiplayer to die out because interest in bigger organized multiplayer sessions (like the ones we would like to play 20+ players)...For me it's the biggest game breaker right now and the biggest problem for organized groups and multiplayer sessions. What worries me additonally is that if the cause can't be easily identified (no logs, nothing) then the fix will be very hard to make... I really hope this issue is known to ED and they're working to identify teh cause and fix it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Screen freezes are pretty much non existent now since 1.2.3, there may be the rare exception but i haven't seen one (only issues now are some CTD's but they're being worked on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
