BSS_Sniper Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Just got kicked out 6 times in a row before I could even take off. Decided to just give up. I see that people are doing a trace and saying it has something to do with where things are being routed but if that's the case, why wasn't it this bad in all the previous rounds? It's never been this bad.

Toxic Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 i gave up too. I just would like to see the server in a stable state. Nothing frustrates me more than doing a 100km flight in an Mi-8 just to d/c from the server.... #CHOPPERLIVESMATTER http://www.aircombatgroup.co.uk/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the explanation. It's become unplayable for me. I've literally spent more time joining, getting disconnected before I can takeoff and trying to reconnect than actually getting up in the air. I think I got a total of two flights in while trying to connect ALL day since this morning until 10pm tonight. I hope they are willing to move the server to someplace more stable. On top of it all, I'd be surprised if this round isn't over by tonight or sometime tomorrow. This setup has things so lopsided that Red has over run Blue in about 3 days. I'd hate to have it end and have to wait another month for this.

D4n Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Well the only issues I had so far were 15-20 fps on landing on that one airfield where there were 10 smoking things at the same time (afaik that was reason for fps drop) and some warping of other aircraft (2 times, once a bandit just disappeared, another time I saw a friendly Mirage smoke trail (it was damaged) going zigzagging...)

Sim Flyer Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I was trying the server yesterday aswell and within 1 hour had two disconnects which can be really annoying when you just spend time alligning the Mirage and setting up the flight plan just to be disconnected while taxiing to the runway (not only me, there were 43 people on the server, when i checked the server just seconds after my disconnect there were only 8 people remaining on the server).

BitMaster Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Useless to try, not worth the time 'n' frustration that comes after it. Last night I had multiple disconns and 2 special disconns like 30min downrange in the Mi-8 taking a FARP when the Pop-Up comes...DCS has crashed....due to disconn. Utmost frustrating, a friend was watching me trying to play and asked me how silly we are even trying this as adult men...LoL but he's true !

This setup has things so lopsided that Red has over run Blue in about 3 days. I'd hate to have it end and have to wait another month for this. I don't think the setup is lopsided.

BodyOrgan Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Greg, do think about removing the kill messages again in the future. They give way too much tactical information. It's really hard to stay hidden in a chopper when you destroy a target, and it broadcasts what was killed, and what killed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMikeJuliet Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Been playing Blueflag now for 2 nights and the Blue team has been greatly pushed back. Problem is, last night I think I counted 6 or 7 disconnects between 1700 and 2030 Z. Also seems whenever you are just about to get something done it disconnects... makes it really hard for blue team to capture anything. Has anyone got any real explanation on this? Surely an event of this caliber should be held on a server that can actually support the planned operation? I mean, tonight on TS people were half-jokingly convinced it's a red side spy conveniently DDOS:ing the server whenever a red FARP was under attack... I don't like to believe such claims without real evidence, so I assume it happened on both sides... I'd say, either get the server stable with what ever means necessary, or call BlueFlag Round 9 cancelled. There is unfortunately no point in flying if all you get to do is set up your loadout and do interior preflight. And don't get me wrong, I've never had this much fun flying sims when it works... but now it seems most of the time it doesn't.

Coxy_99 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 This is certainly turning into a more pay to play for the server. I like it.

Regards, MikeMikeJuliet Just because you aren't able to fly doesn't mean the round should be canceled for others. Also, have you not followed the thread at all? There are many posts from players from all sides having connection issues. microvax (a RED player) went into great detail on where the problem is. Perform a traceroute, and see if you have a hop through Cogent. If you do, then you're likely to continue having connection woes till Cogent addresses the issue on their end. If you pay for a VPN service you might be able to connect through their various different servers to attempt to get a route which doesn't go through Cogent. No guarantee though.

Alpenwolf Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Everybody's talking about the balance. Compared to the last round it's a bit better. I'm more concerned about all the bugs we have! It's not fun any more. The game crashes all the time. If this is fixed on friday, any chance we could simply restart the round? I only managed to have a few sorties without my game crashing.
