Getting a little worried that ED are going to roll out the current OB to stable tomorrow, and this bug is going to ruin multiplayer: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=218255 Looks like servers are crashing every few minutes on the OB build. At least 2/5 of the most populated servers have reported the same issue (and I'm not actually sure if the others - 104th, BF, TTI - updated to the OB build).

Surely the point to OB is to test and prove the readiness of an update prior to go live to “prod”.

 

ED, would seem prudent to update OB tomorrow with fixes for:

- this server issue

- the game crash on using a Mav E in the harrier

- the tone for the Aim 9x

System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse.

Server: i5 2500@3.9Ghz, 1080, 24GB DDR3, SSD.

Thanks very much Silver Dragon and Vikko!

 

Wow I didn't even think that MiG-31 (very basic model) would still be that secret, especially when assuming that (my theory) russia upgraded all of them to at least MiG-31M version... (There is also B, BM, BSM and K version already...) And which data about it is that secret? Wikipedia lists a lot of things, weight, engine power, Zaslon-A radar data... (the only things I could imagine being secret would be radar operation modes in the cockpit, and the cockpit instruments)

 

- the tone for the Aim 9x

On Harrier or F-18?

I assume on the F18.

Is it even available on the Harrier?

I don't think so, I just asked to be sure. (you could've meant F-15C for example or so)

We've been on the openbeta build for a quite a long time and the 104th typically stays up for 24 hour periods without stability problems, most times with 40-50 or more clients connected.

Well sounds like 2/3rds are affected then, I'm sure those other server owners would be interested to know if you've done anything special to counter it - I'm hearing its affecting people hosting their own sessions for a friend or two as well.

Stable should be called "Delayed Beta" as most of the time it has the exact same issues as the previous weeks Beta release.

 

Anyone using Stable may as well download OB and have their game broken a week earlier so they don't waste time and can do something else.

Again.

 

Anyone have tested the Crash in the Release version?

 

Again,

There is no need to test. The release is just last week's OB!

Why is so difficult to answer a simple question?

 

Release is crashing with Mav E?

 

Yes.

 

No.

Yes.

 

No.

 

We are answering it - the builds are identical, there are no changes. So yes, it was broken in OB so it's broken in release. If you fire a Mav E on 2.5.2.20601, your game will crash.

I do wonder what criteria are being applied during their impact assessment before making a decision to push a known issue into stable that will result in a game crash.

 

At the very least, I hope they add release notes to warn players against using Es.

Just re-checked.

No warning in the release notes.

 

ED, this really isn’t cool. Hopefully something to learn from.

BIGNEWY is on vacation... and "BillyCrusher" posted the changelog, I've never seen him before. I messaged Billy, ED is now investigating the crash. (yes, now it's obviously too late)

Interesting, in theory ED knew about this a week ago.

 

I've checked the situation and the problem is in DCS. I am forwarding this to ED so they can solve it.

BillyCrusher is by no means new and he has posted the changelog before or something else in ED's name. ED was already investigating this last week.

 

Personally I have a double feeling with ED pushing Beta to Release every other week. On the one hand I think its a bit unlogical to push the exact same Beta with the bugs still in it to release. On the otherhand it makes sense, because the Beta is the testing platform, so you cant expect the Release version to be better (have less bugs) then the Beta. Also people tend to start crying if for example the AIM-9X takes 'too long' to make it to Release. Plus the fact that there is people that do not even fly the Harrier and so on and so on. Yes its a problem, but not the end of the world.
