Ver 1.2.3 News

[Raven68]

Regarding a dedicated server. Work on this has been underway but had to be placed on hold given the current instability in network play. Once we get network play stable again, work on the dedicated server will resume.

 

At least we know its coming one day. Thanks Wags!! Standing by for 123

You must be a fat little dumpy man then ? :)

[SkateZilla]

^ Obviously you are overlooking the changes that have taken place at ED and the Overall TFCSE Code since that announcement years ago for DCS A-10/FC2..

[Hamblue]

True server software doesn't actually run the game with graphics etc. It may run the physics and manage the traffic from the internet but that should be about it. That way the machine wouldn't create any lag etc

[Wags]

WHEN?!?!?!?!? I'm desperate.

 

:notworthy:

 

All I can say is soon at this point. The primary hold up has been trying to resolve network stability.

Which can already be done in DCSW by setting render 3d to false within graphics.cfg :doh:

Which still loads the GUI and Resources, and leaves a "Idle" user logged on.

 

I can wait, as Network Stab. is key, no point in D.S. if people cant connect for one reason or another.

 

Till Then, I use DCSW 1.2.2.7570 to work on stuff, and DCS A-10 for MP.

[Hamblue]

:thumbup:That's excellent news. Will have to give it a shot.

Only one burger? Wimp! :D

nothing that can such a large corporation like ED mess with.

 

ED a large corporation?

Most games released on the market today have more people working customer support than the complete sum total of Eagle Dynamics. :P Hell, from my personal contacts in some other game developers through previous work and engagements showed me that they have more people working marketing than the sum-total of Eagle Dynamics.

 

Regarding the bigger issue regarding multiplayer, there is one issue you are forgetting: Combined Arms. This required a substantial rewriting of related network code. As always, new features inevitably mean new bugs, which is unfortunate but unavoidable, and this is what ED is currently working to address. Once this work is complete we should be able to see a stable network codebase once again.

[SkateZilla]

Actually, Some 3rd Party Studios prolly outnumber ED...

[MTrenda]

ED & Team

 

I say keep up the awesome work, and Happy Holidays. I enjoy your hard

work and look forward all the new releases.

 

Thanks

Tru, the might of work they do is incredible for the money they get. There is just not enough people whit interest towards simulation. One way would be to have biger price tag on DCS modules, It would still not give them what they deserve compere to the workload they have to other games that are easier to develop and get money for. I don't have money growing on trees neither but I would definitely pay double the price for DCS module since community is small. It might not be so good idea to do it on UH-1, But for A-10C, K-50 and when DCS fighters arrive it would be worth every penny and reasonable price tag to get acces to so big simulated theater of war that can be played multiplayer.

remember, additional workload not only DCS:W series. Military and professional branch get a heavy workload over the team, more bigger that the entertainment section.

ME LOVE YOU !!! :)

Reminds me of something I read on here a while back, which really tickled me!

 

...And no old bugs, only brand new ones ;)

 

:D:D:D

Unfortunately Tek, a higher price tag would drive away some more people than you have to hike prices again, it's catch 22. A lot of folks can't be bothered with the steep learning curve among other things, there are only so many of us fanatics :pilotfly:

[SkateZilla]

$10 didnt drive away anyone from Buying Roster Refreshes of EA Sports games every year when they joined the $59.99 group after Xbox 360 launched.

I keep forgetting that they have that demand also to satisfy. It's a good thing for them and us actually, as it allows them to develop new features/addons that may be implemented for entertainment use down the road.

An ancient game that is either cheap or... entirely without DRM. Strike back for great justice against Ubisoft's lawyers.

 

thanks for the tip. I found it, installed the old crap so I could install the module.

I dont know the back-story, but really, what a joke. Similar thing with BS2 upgrade.

[iamlooser]

1.2.3 will be probably released tomorrow :pilotfly:

[SkateZilla]

thanks for Jinxing it.
