Improved stability and dedicated server - Discussion


NineLine

Recommended Posts

Initially it wont be, but perhaps as it develops more options will be available. Has to be done in steps.

 

Is this something already decided by ED? It's intriguing because Microsoft is pushing the Linux subsystem in their Windows desktop OS for quite a while now. Which means that a non-graphical 64 bit Linux program will most probably run without major modification (if any).

Whoever runs a dedicated server will most probably do so on a different box (sometimes even a laptop). A Linux box which does not need an X11 server would be really low in specs but if you'd like to have the same box opening Windows (even Home edition) you would need a system having a graphics card (not sure if DCS today opens up on a system having an onboard graphic card like Intel, that may be very well the case).

In any case, just the news of having a dedicated server makes me very happy (actually even more happier). Don't exactly care if this would be Windows or Linux as long as it works as expected. Linux is a bit more stable than Windows simply because it strips lots of unnecessary $h!t in order to be up and running and it doesn't nags you when you want to remove features deemed as "core" (like sending your personal details to Redmond).

Yep, looking forward to this feature, whatever ED chose as long as it works.

One other option would be to enable multiple instances of DCS.exe to run so

 

 

Proper dedicated server exe allow as many instances as the server can support, hopefully ED will follow this path as well

So in case anyone is wondering, the warping is still prevalent in MP. It get worse the longer the server is up. My wingman crashed into me tonight as we were at the tanker. It makes things quite difficult to get good training with these problems.

Might be off topic here:

 

Seems like my server [Cold War 1947 - 1991 (IP: 158.69.122.193)] doesn't appear on the servers' list for some players. Is that common, or am I overlooking some option?

Autumn is getting close, there are some news about dedicated server developments?

I would really like to read in the DCS World Weekend News some status update on the developments of the dedicated server, related WebUI and other cool stuff. :thumbup:

 

Inside latest builds you can actually spot some interesting reference to the "Dedicated server Game User Interface script" or WebGui.

 

They are clues of something? :music_whistling:

Same as above - could Mr Wags or NineLine give a statement that plans for autums release of dedicated server is still true please ?

 

Don't get me wrong, but it was promised a ton of times over the last 10 years and I want to be sure that this thread will not end up with the classic ED "we will do..." statement with open release day "someday in the future".

I play exclusively MP and dealing with server crashes and glitches is really frustrating. Hopefully dedicated server will help alleviate some of those frustrations.

 

I love this game otherwise!

I don't recall the word promised being used, but currently, work is ongoing, whether it makes it out is all dependant on how it tests.

When its done. Remember, the ED news has plans, not "promises" or dates puts on stone and a plan can be delayed by great quantity of factor and / or develop process.

We plan to release the dedicated server in Autumn 2018. Afterward, we will investigate adding additional features to expand its capability.

Okey, it's a plan and not a release date. But I would like to receive info about that! I would like to know an "overall" status, like 10% ,50% ,80% of task completed, or whatever it is!

 

I would read something that makes me think that they are working on it :thumbup:

 

Look at this:

About 10Gb :doh: of Video memory used? ( options.graphics.render3D = false )

Really? The dedicated server should have been done years ago, not this fall: D

A task complete has a "release" on beta. About "overall" status, from some years ago, ED leave to get some "develop info" by the bad feedback by the community or worse by "promises", include info about functionality / Modules, etc never planned, on requested, planned or in progress, develop times, and a long, etc.

I think it's pretty clear, I only said my personal wish, to read some news regarding the working progress, some sentence inside the weekly news ;)

 

Regarding stability, I just notice another "strange" behavior.

Look at my Auto start script log:

 

20/09/2018 19:30:42,13 DCS Server has shutdown 7 times ... Restarting! 	  	 
21/09/2018  1:30:42,19 DCS Server has shutdown 8 times ... Restarting! 	 
21/09/2018  1:32:06,17 DCS Server has shutdown 9 times ... Restarting! 	 
21/09/2018  1:33:29,13 DCS Server has shutdown 10 times ... Restarting! 	 
21/09/2018  7:30:41,16 DCS Server has shutdown 11 times ... Restarting! 	 
21/09/2018 13:30:42,13 DCS Server has shutdown 12 times ... Restarting! 	 

 

My server as a scheduled shutdown at 01:30, 07:30, 13:30 and 19:30.

As you can see, sometimes run pretty good on first restart attempt, like 7:30, 13:30 and 19:30 in this specific days, and sometimes it's fails a couple of time before start normally, 01:30 in this case.

 

The mission is the same on each reload.

Anyone else has observed something like this? What could be the cause of this? My server and DCS is installed on a pretty fast NVMe SSD, the Samsung 970 EVO, should be fast enough to load DCS without timeout, I hope!

Any FIX for this?

Not the right thread for bug reports.

Yeah, I've posted also here to highlight the current stability.:lol:

If anyone is interested in the AsyncNet.dll ACCESS_VIOLATION problem, read HERE and HERE, a fascinating threads from 2017.

Be aware of the last OB build MP Stability: Build 2.5.3.24436

While we're all waiting the dedicated server, we're currently moved our server from stable release to the OB to make some test.

 

With the last OB build, for us the stability is completely compromised!

Same Missione, same hardware, same clients connected, unable to play at all.

 

Server crash several times, sometimes just after 20 mins after restart. Details in spoiler!
