Current state of dcs world multiplayer.

Attention Matt Wagner, Jim Mackonochie, Jim Mack, Regarding Major Isses with DCS World.

1. What is the state of the Crash to Desktop on getting the list from the master server?

posts 33 and 34 mention the problem is known but dont expect any other information.

This is not acceptable. Entire VFS's are grounded for the duration. We have been mentioning this problem for more than a month on the forums and all it takes to reproduce the problem is an attempt to login. However only 3 days ago did someone finally admit there was a problem...

I could probably find more posts in the forums but in all reality its not my job to fix this problem.

2. What about the Connection Interupted Problems people are having in all different ways.

Sometimes you connect for 2-3 min and then get disconnected. Sometimes the server is up on the master list and when you try to connect no matter what you do it always says connection interupted until the server is restarted. Why cant we direct connect to the server by ip without getting the same error when the server drops off the master list? Sometimes it something else. Nothing more fun than getting 3-4 min into the a-10 startup to get disconnected.

3. What about the servers droping off the master list.

How do expect anyone to enjoy multiplayer when servers fall off the master list all the time. This problem has been reported on the forums for a while but the problem still consists. Also as mentioned before you cant direct connect by ip.

p.s. with the lack of communication on the above subjects and due to how they ruin the experience every time they happen I will not be purchasing the p51, ca, or any more dcs products or any 3rd party addons until there is a stable platform and the communication from ed improves. It is not the responsibility of the gamers to fix these problems yet as a community we try and help as much as we can... Now its your turn... we need some answers.

p.s.s. Im not trying to get banned, and I only speak for myself. However the current state of the game is unacceptable, and with the vague responses I have been reading or getting I have been left no choice. When do we get the version that all major bugs are fixed? How many betas are we upto now?

Im just trying to keep the faith in flight simulators.

I agree 100% Mosley. The state of DCS World is ridiculous. I've dumped money into EVERY BETA and every release. In return we get unfinished products indefinitely (ie Blackshark 1 engine startup sounds). HOT-FIXES need to be implemented. I support indy devs more than published companies. Please use my money and fix these games, and pay yourselves. Another bad patch and your going to start losing hardcore simmers. On top of the broken patches, it takes months to receive them. DCS, your an awsome company, now act like it.

The problems exist... that is for sure... but I think they already made an inhuman effort to get the entire DCS World concept live & kicking...

I think patience (it is summer time and all who deserved it are on vacation I suppose) is what we need now, and there'll sure be nice gifts for Christmass...

Till then, it's "LAN" settings and CA poking arround slippery servers... :smilewink:

That and waiting on TARS is why the 476th stayed on 1.1.1.1. and not moved to DCS World yet...

In my squad we are willing to prepare some multiplayer events for the DCS world with the participation of other squads too but we are really worried about problems like these.

We try to bring and train new members but all these hold us back.

I think with the DCS World and now with the Combined arms there can be awesome events/missions between v.Squads and the community can grow larger!

Please at least tell us if and how close are we to get those problems fixed so that we can continue.

Thanks in advance!

MP issues are known and confirmed as receiving attention. Should any new issues arise, report in the relevant Bugs and Problems forum. Rant threads do little to further the cause.
