Multiplayer Sync problem?

[JG52Uther]

I was in Syn yesterday,flew from France to England and back, by the direct route hung around the ships for a while and saw nobody.
Net stats said there were around 20 people in the server. I assumed everyone was hiding somewhere...

I can confirm that this happens from time to time. Lots of people on the server, but I seem to only be able to see friendly aircraft. And a flying pilot with no aircraft here and there.

We are going to try patching the server. From what I read through the chat logs people were playing on it with the beta patch, so perhaps it might have some reverse compatibility for those that havne't used it yet as well.

One error that stands out above the rest is we are getting a P2PConnection error from steam (this shows up in the dedicated dos box from time to time and usually that's what has been closing/crashing the server)

My question to those more knowledgable, is do we need to enter the dedicated server's IP address in the confs.ini "IP=" line?

I just don't get what is causing the issue. The cpu usage is only around 10% even with 40 players and who knows how many AI planes. The server has a 1gbps upload/download connection too.

Has anyone seen this in other servers as well?
