TEEWURST 0 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Brief description: coop mission, friend couldn't spawnDetailed description, conditions: i was hosting a coop server for me and my friend, for a couple hours we tried to get it working, which we eventually did. He wanted to spawn in as a bf 109 f4 but it said that he is already spawned. He could start his engine, but he still saw the briefing and spawn selction screen. I flew over the spawn area but couldn't see any plane. When i shot at the spawn area he could very well hear all the shots.

JediMaster 15 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 For years, my friends and I have hosted local coop (on the same PC we're flying on) with no issues. We took a break for a couple of months, so I'm not sure how long it's been since we last did it successfully (as in which version we were on). However, as of the last few weeks we cannot connect to each other anymore. Any of us can join dedicated servers, and any of us can host a coop server. When we try to join each others' servers, though, we get a prompt for the password and enter it and FREEZE. If the pw is wrong, it prompts for the pw again. But if it's right, the spinning compass rose icon freezes in place while "Please Wait..." is at the top of the screen and Il-2.exe goes to not responding. Only task manager-kill il-2.exe gets you out. The nvidia FPS counter I have in the upper right drops to 0 at the same time. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround? The host sees the server, can pick a plane, and fly, but anyone trying to join locks up after pw is entered. Link to post Share on other sites

Just for the record, during the past month the server locked up 5 times in total. Every time the reason was unknown but the result was the same: Server load looked just normal (in contrast to the crashes we've witnessed long time ago when the CPU load would always be 100%). DServer.exe becomes unresponsive. Server is listed ingame, but you cannot join it - click on it, and you get back to the server list within a split second. Mike Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 15 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 So...is that a "no" to both questions? Link to post Share on other sites
JimTM 1411 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Try the following: Resave your mission Check the contents of the .list file on the DServer and make sure the directories match where the mission is stored. If you still have no luck, please zip and post your mission. Link to post Share on other sites
Woo66 2 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hi JediMaster, what you're describing is the exact issue I'm having, a friend bought BOS and we've been trying to create coop servers (not dedicated) but as soon as one of us hits the button join, the game starts to freeze or we get error 10019 (after a very long time). - We tried to open ports 28000 UDP + TCP and 28100 TCP - We typed our current router IP address in the "Network settings" in 'Use IP address" - We tried to use default mission (complex template) - We have no issues when joining other servers in both coop and dogfight. - I'm using the Steam version and he uses the IL2 Store version -We are not using any VPN It seems something gets blocked as soon as someone tries to join the server of the other. If someone have any idea if there is a workaround for this problem. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

Detailed description: On our Finnish VirtualPilots server, we introduced a target type that includes a fake_vehicle that has the "spotter" functionality on with 15 km radius. This seems to create an increasing load whenever there are enemy planes in the spotter area. See attached image.

Mike Actually, might be caused by my own booboo of using a single spawner for multiple objects, let’s see. Chatlog entries are the campaign application sending messages to the game and forcing the chatlog writing. Edited May 19, 2020 by LLv34_Temuri 1 Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 15 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 DServer? Do you mean a dedicated server? I'm just trying to create it on my PC. I will try resaving, but when my friend tried and I locked up, he was using one of the coop sample default missions. We weren't going to fly it, it was just a test...and it failed.

Yes, the stand-alone dedicated server (which is covered in Chapter 11 of the editor manual) but your .list file content check can also apply if you start a server in-game. Also, be sure to check the ports and IP address items that Woo66 mentioned. Edited May 20, 2020 by JimTM Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 15 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yeah I've never used the dedicated server, never hosted or joined one. I go into the game, I go to MP, I click coop, and then I click new server to create it. It's worked fine for years. Now no one can connect to the server after it starts, they just lock up. The ports and IP addresses haven't changed. They are listed correctly. This is something that simply used to work with no hassle and now has just stopped. Link to post Share on other sites

Ejolfur 1 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Brief description: Friends can't join anymore since 4.007 Detailed description: Before the patch I hosted a lot self-build dogfight missions (from the in-game menu, not dserver) for me and 3 friends. Since the update it simply doesn't work anymore. They can click on my server, they get a loading screen, they get a notification that some files are downloaded. But as soon as the loading screen is finished they get thrown back to the dogfight-server menu without any error message. I double checked my firewall and port-forwarding, I reinstalled the whole game, I resaved my mission editor files, I even created new missions. Nothing works. I am thankful for every hint that might help. <EDIT 14.06.2020> I tested to host a lot of other games, where I also need port-forwarding. Every single one works! I also tested if I can reach the specific IL-2 ports with a different software , so I know they are definetly not blocked by my router and/or firewall. They aren't. I also changed the ports in the Options/Multiplayer Menu to some others that work perfectly with another game. Still nobody can connect to my server. There is only one weird thing I figured out: In TCP_VIEW for almost every program the local and remote address is <the dynamic name of my pc>. But for IL2 its <the dynamic name of my pc>.mshome.net Does somebody know what this actually means? Thank you in advance for any help. cheers. <EDIT 14.06.2020> ---> PROBLEM SOLVED! It really was a problem with DNS. It's still strange though, because no other game has this problem, but in the end it wasn't that hard to solve. If you have VPN / Virtual Machine / Docker stuff on your computer, il-2 can apparently change your IP address to a remote/virtual one and nobody can join you. In such a case you just have to go to OPTIONS / MULTIPLAYER and look at the list of available IPs. Then you have to manually(!) type the correct one (local address of your machine) into the field USE IP. At least this fixed the problem for me.

Yesterday I have notice that nevertheless that the target camp has been attacked by 2 Tigers on the map there was no icon for tanks next to the target camp icon. Same happen today just last mission.... Have the track file but in the track file you do not see the map - I know, will try next time to make some screen capture recording but just giving you information that there is such a bug.

Retnek 441 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) As I wrote - logs are available, just let me know. (Add-on due to comments: the plane was visible in tacview and in the records - so it's not the usual "invisible-plane-bug" where the planes are invisible even in the log-Files until the moment they fire. I'm still shocked I wasn't able to detect that plane - see pictures. Anyhow - it seems to be no good example for the usual "invisible-plane-bug" ) And another one on a guns-bug I never had before and never heard from:https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/21490-finnish-virtualpilots-dynamic-war/page/71/?tab=comments#comment-974886 Edited July 18, 2020 by Retnek Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 15 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I'm not sure what's left to check, then. No changes to firewall settings in Windows. No changes beyond standard Windows 10 and Il-2 updates. The host can start up a mission and it will load fine and then get in and fly. The client will attempt to connect and freeze and must ctrl-alt-del to kill il-2.exe. If one could host and the other could not I would accept a hidden setting change, but what are the odds both unrelated PCs changed at the same time in the same way? I wish there was a log file created of the process on server and client so what is going on, or not going on, could be tracked. Link to post Share on other sites
