Issues with Multiplayer

[41Sqn_Stormcrow]

I constantly get a Time Out after a while. The duration varies before I get it. I cannot tell why because on a direct link it works fine without time out. Just on servers I get time out.

Another issue:
When icons on map are turned off it is impossible to take a seat in a multiposition aircraft as it needs to be clicked upon. This worked much better with the old interface. This needs a fix.

Also it is a bit difficult to see which airfields can be selected and which are not because all are white (and optically a bit difficult to discern from the white grid).

In my opinion, this is just because servers unfortunately crash. When you get a timeout, are you able to join the server you were playing on just after ?

This is why server hosts shoud leave this option. Also, if you want to select another position on your own aircraft, use Ctrl+C to switch position.

Also it is a bit difficult to see which airfields can be selected and which are not because all are white (and optically a bit difficult to discern from the white grid).
Yeah.. I hope we'll be able to set existing airfields red or blue. To prevent from this, we sometimes place empty airfields on our mission in order to show the players which airfield they should click.

I hope those problems will be solved and the servers will be more stable.

But anyway this doesn't prevent us from having fun :p

When mission is loaded ..select your side....after that --->right click on the map and uncheck the "airfield"

Now you can see the airfields you can use

Does anyone have the problem when trying to select a spawn base that you must have your mouse pointer not on the base itself, but away from the base ?

In order for me to select a spawn base and therefore be able to create a plane I must move my cursor around 3cm away from the base in the 5 oclock position before the base name shows up on the map.

Well i think this one should go here.
When i connect to a MP and click create to go to the map my launcher.exe chrashes every time.
Anybody knows of a solution to this?
Game is all patched

Cheers,

Maybe your game is broken. Go to Steam, right click on clod, properties, local files, verify files. Dunno how menus are translated in english, as I have the french language on Steam, but it may help.

Bit by bit this game is starting to run smoothly. I did some experiments yesterday online and hosted a simple mission for my friend.

We encountered some strange problems with spawning. For example when I ditched into AF and tried to respawn with fresh plane I was unable to do it. I was able to click on AFs spawn points, select plane etc. but when I tried click on Create button nothing happened. My friend had also some occations when Create button was not working and he solved it by disconnecting and joining again. For me as a host that was not a allowed solution ;) (the game was getting crowded)

Anyway, is there something we should know about Refly procedure (old IL-2 term) or is this a known problem in MP?

Ok thanks - didn't find it from forum.

It was "Online - Isles of Doom" map

S!

The mp servers constantly timeout on me too. And they don't crash, I can immediately rejoin them, and after a while they timeout again.

BUT when my friend made a server it didn't timeout on me, which was weird, but nice :)

And sometimes, not so often now as before the latest patch, the "Create"-button causes the launcher to crash.

MP is still unstable... get invisible planes... server crashes... and at one point the server made all the clients crash... It is better now need to work on stability issues.
