ED is holding a stress test tomorrow to help diagnose our perpetual DCS server crash cycle in the hopes that one day we have a multiplayer flight sim with a level of stability that suggests a professionally-developed, paid-for piece of software:

forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=183454

The server will go up at 17:00 Zulu (11:00 CST) and it will be called "ED Debug Server." If you're available, I invite you to come and do your DCS civic duty by crashing the ever-loving excrement out of this server just like we do with our own servers.

Watch, they'll only have like 5 slots and then they'll say "our server performance was excellent, maybe you guys just need to get better servers!".

Sooo.. clusterbombs and smoke rockets it is then! And spam the heck out of the screenshot button.

so how did this test go?

Couldn't tell ya, server filled before I could get in and remained full every time I checked back.

But I bet Tracer's right. I don't think they loaded up much of anything for an actual mission, so I doubt they learned anything useful.

Hey now, we don't have room for your logic and stuff around here.

New to the forums... Hello all.

I was able to join one of the sessions. Not a full plane-set, so I took a F-5E. It was airborne and loaded already, so no ground start. Once the server was unpaused I flew around a bit. They wanted labels on, so I tried to join on a few others and/or get some shots on any REDFOR jets. The lag was pretty high. I'd get about a mile from anyone and they'd jump 5 miles away. Then the server timed out. This seemed to be standard through the entire event. Not sure what they got info wise, but hope it was enough.

Cheers,
Storm

Thanks for the info and welcome to the site!
