----- // AV8B causes server crash \\ -----

Hello,

 

Being a director of a multiplayer server I regret not being able to put harrier on my mission ..

All the servers are not affected by this problem but many meet him anyway, I explain myself :

 

With a mission where there are only harriers, dcs crash at the end of a few minutes, désyncronisation, lag and finally crash in less than 10min .. it's a pity, is there a known solution?

Thats a big claim, do you have any evidence to prove this

Hi, I´m the host of "Kirks-Hangar" and i have the exact same problem. If i put AV8B´s into a mission and at least 2 of them get occupied by players you can start a counter, 5-10 Minutes after the Engines are running the desync starts and will end with a total freeze of all playes expect yourself, a bit further the server comes to a stop and crashes. I would like to put the AV8B into my missions, but for now its just not possible.

A solution or idea why this happens would be highly appreciated.

Server:

i7-6700

32 GB DDR4 RAM

2 x 500 GB SSD

1 GBit/s Bandwith

Windows Server 2016 Standart Edition

LOG attached! This time the server did not crash completly, but it was not responding to windows anymore and totally out of sync. Only 2 player AV8B´s, 1 AI AV8B and a C-130 tanker im the mission.

Same Problem Report by Angus

I want to jump in and say I saw this issue happen on the AO server. If I got into any other plane all the planes would fly around normally. As soon as I jumped into a Harrier (I was the only one to get into the Harrier), everything started desync and fly still and or vertically and all funny. When I jumped out of the aircraft and back into anything else, the server synced up and all the planes were flying normally again.

Thank you, for now the only known solution is that the server has the module like client

I can also confirm the Harrier causes major issues with Aerobatics Online. It took awhile to narrow down, but after pulling out all Harrier slots, the server warping and UI freeze issues have completely gone away.

attach dcs.logs guys

 

the devs will need to take a look at the crash

I'm not sure if ED runs or has ever considered running a proper multiplayer server that users will regularly use, but I think it would be beneficial if they did. That way they can see first hand the issues that we constantly deal with and have direct access to logs and crash reports.

Hello Big newy ,

the problem happens when the host does not have the copy of the module AV8B ( Owner) .

If the host is an owner of AV8B copy there is no problem.

ED do occasionally have public multiplayer session, usually for major issues.

 

I Have tried to reproduce this myself, but was unable. I will highlight this thread to the team to see what they say.

If you really want to see the issue, jump in the AO server (if they still have them in after their last comment) and jump in the harrier - watch the server freak out. Jump out of the harrier and watch the server go back to normal.

Maybe somebody havé solution or new information ? @Razbam @ED

Ahh.. I was wondering why the AV-8B was removed from AO servers recently

We play on my own local server with me as host and player at the same time. Two to three guys having a great time unless I load up the harrier (I'm the only one having it). There is no difference between beta and non beta. The server crashes. I hope you can use my log for something. This if from newest beta.

Feel free to ask for more information so we can have this great plane in mp again...

Cheers

There does not seem to be any change with stability regarding the Harrier in this latest update. Allowing people to fly it in multiplayer chokes the server, makes people warp, and eventually freezes DCS (but not crash). I've once again removed it from the mission to make the game playable.

It's Same for me no difference after this last Update du AV8B ... that's cool, upgrade instrument and other système but if we can't use the plane it's still useless.

I can confirm that this is still the case. DCS logs do not contain anything that seems to relate to this issue. Once the desync happens, DCS on the server is not responding (we get the windows message: DCS is not responding). Also no error in windows logs, only an information entry:

This does not happen if an owner of the AV8 module opens the server. So, when trying to reproduce, maybe try to use a server that does not own the AV8 module.

Any info on this issue with the latest patch? It's pretty critical, to say the least.

Harrier is non playable on dedicated server unless the server owner agrees to spend additional $$ to have the Harrier license installed on the server. That's not even remotely acceptable.

No change with the update of the harrier of May 23, always the same trouble meet ... 2minutes of flight before having an incredible desynchronization because the DCS of the server crash because of haters or something related to the module, when he is present on a mission in playable time, and that the host of the mission does not have the Harrier.

Is there a chance a dev will take a stand on this problem?

We had several crashes a day. After finding this thread we removed the Harriers from the mission.

Now we run fine for already 3 days without a single crash.

Buying a additional copy just for the server is not acceptable.
