D4n Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Can't tell, 2.5 also crashing for me as soon as I join a multiplayer server, same as it was the last 2 weeks with 1.5.8 for me... Hope ED can help me with it.

docWilly Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Excited to get home and try it out. Any performance issues yet? No - at least not with my system specs. Almost everything maxed out: around 60 FPS. Some VR users reported 45 fps. @Daniel_NL: I had (1.5.8OB) and have (2.5 OB) no problems with connecting to MP. I dont think ED will solve your problem. Is it ping related or did you experience a "DCS crash", did you sent a crash.log do DCS with the ticket [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]my rig specs: i7-4790K CPU 4.50GHz, 32GB RAM, 64bit WIN10, NVidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti, SSD+ A10C, UH-1H, M2C, F5E, Gazelle, KA 50, F18C, DCS 2.5x OB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobeshow Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 well, maybe it is mission dependant, but I can't connect to anything that has lots of players/units on it. SP works fine and 16gb ram is definetly the limit for me, my ram gets filled and then it throws me from loading screen into main menu. I remember the same phenomenon when ED switched form 1.2 to 1.5 (or sometime during 1.5, not sure) The old 8gb standart for DCS wasn'T enough I had to upgrade my RAM and it never went above 12GB even in the largest mp missions, maybe now we need even more (recommendet and minimum specs changed by ED a while ago) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "DCS World is the main public build, it has nothing to do with being stable" -Bignewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow KT Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 DCS 1.5 was/is perfectly fine with 8GBs of DDR2 memory as I was using on my old mobo, and so far it seems to be working perfectly fine with 12GBs of DDR3. Join a server and just let DCS do its thing for next couple of minutes, when you get booted back in the menu, just join in again. Don't crash it, don't close it. Now the mission is in your cache and it will load times faster 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetSharKen Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I can load all the servers but the 104th. Sad day for me as it was the only server I flew in. Same problem though. I have 16Gb of Ram and It fills up to 12 in a jiffy then. Ive let DCS sit and do its thing for hours and nothing... 104cdt_SharKen Catch my streams on Twitch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hey guys, the loading issue is known, and although it might seem so, is not related to the server though. On the first load, DCS will build new shaders, fxo files etc... If you do not get it, exit back to singleplayer GUI, reenter MP lobby, hit left alt + enter and try again. this usually helps. also make sure that you deleted your options lua after the update in your saved games config folder and set your settings anew, since in 2.5 the lightning works different than in 1.5 and this might cause additional issues. For most users the first load takes a felt ages, but the second one is super quick.

Swoop117 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Hi All, I have very long (5-10 minutes) time for joining the server. After that I get some table headers over a field picture with empty rows. After that I am brought back to the menu or DCS just hangs. When joining to the server I monitored DCS process activity. It showes memory consumption about 4.5 Gb and property of the thread says that DCS thread is waiting for network IO operation. Some times when I was brought back into the menu if I tried to join again right away I could join in few seconds. But this happend one or two times. To other servers (Burning Skies) I connect with no problems. Edited February 2, 2018 by Swoop117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) ;3380715']For any users that want to try loading the mission first in Single Player before joining the server, here is a copy of the mission - http://www.mediafire.com/file/tykurjk2y4jy3ji/1_Op_Longbow_v2.5.miz Several users have reported this helps to cut loading times dramatically! TY for providing the mission file! With 3300 units the mission is quite big. First i am not an expert in this stuff. I was barely able to load the mission in SP as you can see here : Swap File usuage went over 100% at about 16 GB. RAM is at 80% usuage. I have a SSD so loading time was about 6 min. FPS was fine once loaded in. After that i tried to join the server: Swapfile stayed at 100% usuage but RAM went up to 95%. Nothing happens until you see this: and after that the mission end screen is displayed where i can retourn to mission editor :doh: For your mission DCS needs about 8 + 16 GB for SP and apparently more than that for MP. So for now people with 8GB systems can not join the server. People with more RAM but an HDD will experience long loading times because their swapfile will be used more after they passed their max RAM mark. I don't know if you can increase the swapfile size to more than your max RAM limit (not what you have, but what the mainboard is cabable of) your system. Either ED finds a way to reduce RAM usuage per unit or maybe we will see the minimum system requirements updated.

carss Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I have a quick question. I was on the 104th last night for the first time on 2.5 and found out there are no F-5s or Mirages in the blue side? Only Harriers and A-10Cs. Moreover why are the red side Mirages Chinese (just curious) they could be Egyptian since they operate Mirage 2000s [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
