I noticed the same... The first time I was on with 12 others, it was extremely smooth. With the latest Beta I noticed that it slowed considerably.

But it didn't crash for the hour I was on.

Looks like they have fixed the crash problem, server is a lot more stable but there seems to be small lag spikes/freezes at times. And still get bad stutters over 4000m but we are getting there. Getting a lot more people joining mp now, kudos to the SYN guys for sticking it out.

Hi,

I do not know if this has been answered before but:

When I'm trying to conect to the syndicate server I get the message: ServerAuthentificationfailed. Strangely, I manage to connect to other servers...

Any tips?

Thamks in advance

Well it stayed up again for 16 hours until it tried to stop the battle and start the mission again as per the scripts, then it just hung

I am really thankful that it doesn't keep crashing, the problem now is I cannot rotate missions and the current mission runs into darkness. But its a nice problem to have after the last couple of weeks

Hi everybody,

at first thx for this great full real server.

I was enjoying it until yesterday. Today i'm getting the same error as Clovis.

ie - ServerAuthentificationfailed

All i did yesterday was shutting down my rig.
I tried to resync with steam and applied the beta patch again as Sauf had recommended but it didn't work for me. Tried it without beta patch too but no success.

Thx in advance

Edit:
12 hours later it works again, like nothing ever happened

As we have some positive progress with stability, do you think we can further improve the mission running at the server?

I have an impression that 2 bomber attacks we have atm attract too little attention from players because:
1) the alt is a bit high
2) attacks are a bit rare and therefore do not disturb enemy players to make them angry enough (nothing really depends on attack results)

My suggestions:
1) reduce alt of bombers to 4000 m
2) reduce No of planes per attack to 4-6 making an attack actually stoppable
3) increase No of attacks 2-3 times and run them from different directions|with different aircraft and targets. Make them really disturbing.
4) add more waypoints for bombers above mid-channel to make them spend more time there before they strike airfields.
5) add moving ship convoys for both sides with tankers armed with AA guns (selectable as load for tankers) to make some sea battles
6) add smaller bombing runs of 2-3 aircrafts to attack shipping convoys from various alt (Stukas to divebomb with 110s topmast from different directions with say 10 min interval. Same with red aircraft for red side.)
7) add random attacks of 1-2 aircraft on airfields (e.g. Stukas/Baufighters). Let them spend some time over mid-channel first.
8 ) add free-hunting flights of 1 fighter to randomly patrol at 6000+ alt above channel to keep everyones attention up
9) I would be happy to see some land parties of reckon cars|motorcycles rarely attacking airfields.
10) Maybe even tank battles if we have battle of France scenario (e.g. Dunkirk ?)
11) Make on-screen Intel. to report 'hot-spots' on map every 10 minutes depending on current pos of action to gather everyone there.
12) allow players to get into AI planes to let them control bombers

ATM action is split between 2 shores often resulting in long boring flights across channel at least every 2nd mission.
I think it would be great to provide players with variety of action right after they spawn. Probably most of missions (waypoints for AI) should concentrate in the middle of the channel to attract most of players there. If enemy bombers are not stopped while they are making a couple of circles in the middle of the channel ideally they should cause real trouble to airfields (this would be easier to do in future with triggers I guess e.g. prohibiting takeoff from a bombed airfield for 3 minutes or moving the spawnpoint further to mainland).

Anyway the server and the mission are the best! WTG!
