Thx
Seems down again. ^^
ROF likes to bring down servers!
Aye, it's not down, it seems to have crashed somehow. It shows up in the list but the same mission is running for hours now and I can't join :|

as of early this morning you can join the server and the mission crashes within a few seconds of starting , rejoin and it repeats the same fault :(
Which mission? Any? All?
Do you suspect server problem (i.e. RoF dserver program) or something more mission specific?
I just provide the server, and configure it. With regards to missions I'm clueless, so I need some guidance from more authoritative sources as to where the problem might lie.
It did the same several times when I was on yesterday evening and it did it on two or three missions in a row so it might be mission unrelated.
If it's mission unrelated, then I don't know what to suggest. We all know we're simply lining Neoqb's pockets whilst beta testing their software. This, I'm afraid, is to be expected.
Aye, there also don't seem to be many people playing this time of the year so hopefully with the next patch things will change for good. It's really a bit absurd how this patch improving things clientside, for me anyway, by reducing loading times by alot and reducing the number of memory errors (only had them in the train mission so far) yet the server all seem to suffer from weird errors and warping/lag. There are only two server that are running properly atm I believe, the J99 bashing server and the CoCoS one, the latter seems to receive more feedback from the devs than yours. But it's just airquake there with people bombing you and the planeset beeing usually in favour of the entente doesn't really help to enjoy the gameplay there.
Hi Epoch and Team,
I posted a thread on Rof Forum on what MP servers are working well and mentioned issues with T&T. RCoCoCos I can't use as poor connection and don't kno9w about others.
Everytime I try and load RoF on T&T I either get to mission lobby and see no other players or it quits on me before getting to a mission. As such I havn't played on-line now fro over a week and getting very peed off with the whole shananigans (especially as I donated 10squid !!! ). I appreciate that the Rof Devs have messed this up on Multiplayer .
Any ideas on what is going on and can it be fixed. At this rate people are going to abandon servers such as T&T and play on the modded servers . Shame as back in Nov (1.008) - despite faults there were some epic missions with some great pilots/players.
Cheers and Best wishes with getting this sorted

Presently the server is taking far too much time to maintain. This combined with the fact that the few T&T members that play RoF and have the ability to administer it have no time due to other commitments, mainly work.
With this in mind T&T admins are presently debating whether we can continue to run our Rof server, the immediate outlook is not looking good.
Mozza,
Cheers for the heads up. We are currently doing the best we can - but as Tommy mentioned, human resources are limited. We're doing pretty well considering half the time we haven't a clue what's wrong, and we originally got the server running simply so us T&T lads could have a game. We've come a long way. Any further help or information on what could be wrong would be much appreciated.

This is grave news indeed.
I'm linking to this thread on the SimHQ and Rise of Flight forums.
Epoch, Sqn Leader and Mad Tommy,
Salute ! A real shame that the issues created by 1.009 RoF are causing such demands and I think we can understand the time required to sort these out.
I , for one , truley hope that this T&T Rof server can be maintained (despite the band width issues). I only started playing R0F on-line MP in November and the missions and players on T&T were just superb.
It must be very annoying that the Devs manage to screw up such and important part of their product proposition (i.e. Multiplayer) with one of the best used Servers around. :mad: COME ON NEOQB DEVS - Work with the Server guys to get this sorted !
RoF is a massively flawed beauty at the moment. I hope they can get it better before the loyal fan base gets too pissed off with the whole thing.
I have just read the PC Pilot (January 10) edition where Neoqb state "First of all our primary aim is to complete our game engine. This will be accomplished in 1.009 update " .............yeah right !! So we all bought a Beta test version which in latest update is possibly worse (MP) !
Good luck for getting things fixed and keep T&T RoF alive. I will withhold my plans for monthly subscription to the T&T server pending outcomes of discussion as I only play RoF - and if it's broke..............sorry.
Cheers and Merry Christmas

I hope you guys can postpone this decision until the next patch or maybe even help from the devs comes along. If it's still not working by the end of the month I would probably do the same in your place.
I'm planning on reviewing the RoF server near the end of January.
I wouldn't dream of closing it without giving you guys notice.
We appreciate the patronage we've had on the RoF servers from our regulars, and also are extremely grateful to those of you who have kindly made donations towards the server costs.
Perhaps collectively - that is T&T and RoF regulars - we can work out why the server has suddenly started going downhill. If it's patch related - fine - Neoqb better hurry their asses and sort it. If it's mission related, then how? The excellent missions on the server have been created by people who really know their stuff, so I'm convinced it's nothing to do with missions.
As a little test Epoch, can you put on just the stock missions, they are the only things I can get the Hussar server to run at all presently.
Sure. I'll try to find some time over the weekend.
In the meantime, to save me trawling through various threads in various places, please could someone give me a precise list on WHAT the problem is. What error codes are appearing? What do we know of these error codes? If all the 'negative' info can be in one post, it'll help me/us greatly.
Thanks in advance.
Ok chaps.
I'm shutting the server down for a few days. Gonna reinstall RoF, and then we'll stick some stock missions on first, to see how that goes.

Screen caps and accompanied with descriptive and detailed pie charts is what Epoch likes in a crash report :)
It would really hinder my world wide domination plans to lose RoF, I need somewhere to train pilots for the upcoming revolution :(
include as much detail as possible in your crash reports over the next few days to see if we can pin down the problem.
If you have any thoughts, ideas or experience to what it might be (or know someone who does) speak up, we can only do so much...

Right chaps.
I have reinstalled Rise of Flight on the server.
The only missions on there are the stock missions.
Please test for a few rounds, and report back. Then we'll stick the custom missions on, and see how that goes.
Thanks.
I am in the first stock mission, will play a few and report back. Atm it seems to work so far.
Second mission ran fine however only two human players ;)
Third mission crash to desktop ._. Three players when the mission started, after I rejoined only one was left so the other probably had a CTD aswell. Mission is "Battle for Air Superiority". Maybe it just sucks :D

definately an improvement on crashing on joining a mission or just after joining.
sadly I'm at work and wont have much if any free time till sunday to help in the diagnostic process playerside
Will give it a long bash on Sunday tho and see if anything untoward happens .
:salute:
Just went back there again with the regulars and it seems to run fine, the occasional game crash but thats probably unrelated to the server.
No lag for me in cockpit (the odd spike when in spectator mode but not severe).
No getting bounced back to the menu screen either.
Flew a total of 8 missions in there today, some early'ish (maybe 8:30-9:00) and some late on (nearing midnight). Out of the missions I got 1 10019 and one CTD with no error, RoF simply vanished from tasks (maybe my end rather than serverside?).
Stable in mission and none of the "2 second flights" that were happening a few days ago.
Checking the Hussar server info window I have a string off missions that apparently worked too, only a couple of "mis_request_failed:mist_keepserveralive" errors too, which is (I think) a player getting a "10017 File transfer error" their end.
Two missions they were in were "Aerodrome attack" and "N17 N28 Vs Alb D3 Alb D5".
@ Imp - "Battle for Air superiority" gave no errors today on Hussars.
Also spent some time on Tides of War this evening, and though I got the same effect as T&T (ie. no significant lag in cockpit - lag spikes in spectator) the speccy lag spikes were a lot more pronounced but Li'l Sparrow was getting loads of lag both in-cockpit and out, it was running custom missions without many 10019 and no 10017 errors for me.

Epoch,
If and when the custom maps do make it back to the server, please check that you have the latest versions of mine (v12 for all but Dawn Raid on Douai which is v3). These have all been updated to 1.009 and tweaked to run smoother per suggestions made by Chill31.
If you haven't got the latest, you can grab them here:

http://www.tacteam.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=39&d=1260400004
If there are any issues with them please let me know and I will look into it as soon as possible.
Thanks Sensenmann ... I expect to have those missions back up today or tomorrow.
Cheers!
Been on T&T a lot today, just had a rof.exe error and a couple of others did too within a minute or two of "Aerodrome attack" starting.
I think that's a stock mission.
If it is the stock mission of that name Hussars generally shows a few errors when it get to this one specific mission too.
we are just playing now and it seems the stock missions work just fine, it does give the odd crash but thats probably just 1.009 beeing broken
edit: just confirming again, server seems really stable, no crashes no warping, just the odd client crashes but that is very probable related to the game, not the server. So hopefully we can try get the server back to its former glory by tommorrow.
On the whole it works again.
No lag, no 2 second missions, no 10019's for me at least.

Hurrah for Epoch , I'm sure Santa will pull something special out his sack for him.
Hi Epoch aned team,
Played T&T last night Rof on T&T for 2.5 hours - worked well - only got booted to windows a couple of times !
Interestingly - NO LAG - which everyone commented on. Some good players on line (Miggins etc) - but not a very chatty bunch.
Havn't tried today (yet).
So in last 48 hours Jorris Freeflighters and T&T (no mods servers) worked well, (TnT bettter) . occasional skip as planes appeared.
T&T missions were pretty basic - but OK. I flied central powers - but seemed both Alb V and D7 were down on power (my fault I guess on rad and mixture setting).
Hope things improve - but based on last night - a step forward.
Cheers
Mozza

eh we were chatting on teamspeak obviously :p German inliners have no mixture and the radiator needs no adjustment, just open :) but what you might be refering to is that both alb and D.VII are sluggish at sealevel compared to the camel.
I saw some vapour comming out of your radiator the day before yesterday shortly before I made your alb V explode with my N17 so i guess you forgot to open it :p
