-TBC-AeroAce Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Now straight off the bat Im going to counter that people will say " well comunity made severs are very good, If not better." I completly agree with that ! My problem is that there is no consistency to comunity run servers. No comumication No resets No working through of bugs that have been there since day one No real admin No gauruntee that I can fly my server on a given night No stable server for normal Could you emagine if any other game released without official servers ? I am not saying that the servers that exist are not good. Im just sick of no consistancy and I believe that the team should provide at least 1 hardcore and 1 normal server that is monitored and updated/regulated! MP is this game to me and I did not pay my money for MP to be run by a comunity that is shody. Devs GET SOME SOLID OFFICIAL SERVER THAT WE CAN RELEY ON For example not Normal for many days and WOL that always seems to not count anything in the last hour! These things need to get better !

Willy__ Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 I think the last hotfix broke something. A lot of servers are crashing and since no admin is on we have nowhere to play.
SqueakyS Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 So I tried getting into MP in the last week and I haven't been able to complete a single mission without the server crashing or being buggy. Is it always like this because this is really disappointing and quite off putting. I agree that we need some official servers or just more support for the current servers.
CUJO_1970 Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 I think the last hotfix broke something. A lot of servers are crashing and since no admin is on we have nowhere to play. The situation has been broke long before the hotfix unfortunately with servers down for days at a time, stats offline, and no communication.
=/WoVi/=kirumovka Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 My problem is that there is no consistency to comunity run servers. not that bad No comumication not that bad, there's TS No resets Once a day or something and upon request with a few hours delay No working through of bugs that have been there since day one you'll stil lget them on official serers No real admin Won't be fixed unless the administrator goes online or checks the logs every few minutes No gauruntee that I can fly my server on a given night huh? No stable server for normal There are already offiical songs for expert/normal predefiined difficulty settings btw
6./ZG26_Loke Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Miss how it worked in Hyper Lobby, where every one could setup a game and host. 2

71st_AH_Vertigo Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Hyperlobby style would be too cool..! Just like at this very moment, my favorite server, Wings of Liberty, is either completely full.. or now, out of spitfires.. :/ ... and completely full... lol Instead of me typing this to you, I would be hosting my own Spits vs 109's style server like back in the day..

CUJO_1970 Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 DED Normal lost over 200 players last month, people are tired of server always going offline and stats never working. This is not how you attract new players. As the numbers show, it's how you make them disappear.
ShamrockOneFive Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Why are the servers going offline so frequently these days? Trouble with the server hardware itself? The IL-2 server package is a problem? When they go off do they auto recover or is it a manual process? I'm pretty ignorant about the backend of the new IL-2 multiplayer server and I'd love to know whats up.
Livai Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) For someone who never played MP is MP dying and broken too according to your intel report above? -> trouble with server hardware or software, Server always going offline, stats never working, lost over 200 players last month, people are tired???? About WoL I was reading something similar..............????? Is this the same Server???? Who need a server anyway if your intel report show problems. How about P2P Connection cheaper, stable, more than 84 players to shoot down, best ping...................according to Ubisoft intel report!!!! Edited August 3, 2017 by Livai
=IL2AU=chappyj Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 How does official servers fix problems with server up time and stats? Stats system is an unofical add on to begin with. Official servers need resources to run them people to administer them and content to make them attractive There is a very small team working on il2.. adding this sort of service And service it is Would be a major change to their staffing and resources Imo And it would be unlikely to be any more stable or interesting when compared to what is available via the public already Definitely the better option is to open up hosting and game matching using p2p approach rather than centralised services
ShamrockOneFive Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 IMHO, adding official servers doesn't solve the problem but it does sound like some additional work needs to be done to help the community multiplayer servers survive and thrive. We're working hard to create communities like the new Discord channel which should help in that effort too.
LLv34_Untamo Posted August 7, 2017 Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) S! Our "Finnish VirtualPilots - Dynamic War" server has been suffering from these random hangs very much. We haven't found a reason them in these 2 years. CPU and memory usage on server is low. We have tried to make the mission 10 times smaller, no change. First you notice that the AAA stops firing. Then the radar icons freeze. Then the ground objects become invulnerable. The server stops writing log files (which our backend server script works on). There is no errors in the DServer logs. It's pretty infuriating try to debug things without any usable info... Edited August 7, 2017 by LLv34_Untamo
