AFAIK the Master Server [MP] is just for looking for DCS servers, bit like GameSpy does. It does not effect MP performance stuff.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Not quite true.

 

If there are problems with the master server then servers can become unstable, all traffic and server data must go through a live master server. If it doesnt it can cause servers to crash

I think you're both wrong (happy for someone else to knock me down :) )

 

When people create a server, the DCS MP advertises the servers existence to the master server in the background, so that potential clients can find a game via the master server. i.e. the master server doesn't actively look for DCS servers out on the internet.

 

No game traffic goes through master server, though a hosted server will report number of players connected etc.

I can tell you for a fact that there is a constant connection between The Virtual Aerobatics server and the master server all the while its online.

 

Even if you intend on local lan play it has to go through the master server, for example if you start a lan game and unplug the router from the net it will discconnect you from the lan game saying it cant communicate with the master server

The Master MP server certainly affects the field servers.

 

When a field server 'loses' connection to the Master, the field server shuts down with a Can't Connect To Master message. Poofies, game over.

 

I have been getting these messages on the Hollo Pointe server much more often with the v125 update. Fingers crossed that the maintenance will improve the connectivity.

Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms. All released missions are available for free download, modification and public hosting, from my Wrecking Crew Projects site.

Hollo Pointe has not had any disconnects from the Master Server since the maintenance!

 

No more "Can't Connect To Master" messages, in four days. Nice.
