well, that did not make a difference. 😒

Windows updates are installing now, I will reboot server and see if it makes a difference.

I've seen it use the 8GB of memory, but I've not seen the high CPU on it before, that is new to me.

I think it is to do with the changes Rog is making. Merging stuff onto one server.

From what I have read on the DCS Dedicated Server: no performance gain there (compared to using --server --norender on a client installation), it may save some disk space. But we have plenty of that. Let's first focus on the missions and their complexity... ?

We are running the normal client, but using --norender parameter, so it loads without any graphics output. Some config files make sure it uses the web interface, and starts hosting a mission automatically. I have not got a clue if a dedicated server version would make a difference.

Sounds like a plan! (Wait, A or B plan?)

After complete re-install of our DCS on the server, I also added this: DCS_updater.exe install WWII-ARMOUR The WWII assetpack, as I saw this in the logfiles: 2024-06-06 11:02:57.774 ERROR woCar (Main): Unit CCKW_353 is unknown , replaced with Leopard-2 2024-06-06 11:02:57.784 ERROR woCar (Main): Unit Willys_MB is unknown , replaced with Leopard-2 2024-06-06 11:02:57.800 ERROR woCar (Main): Unit Daimler_AC is unknown , replaced with Leopard-2 It's just a wild guess though...

Could very well be... I do not see any 'stack overflow' messages in DCS's latest logfiles, but maybe DML has it own? Just to check - what are our next steps to try and analyze and fix this?

Feel like there's a new command needing to be run at some time DCS_Updater.exe install KOLA_terrain

Hm, it's done already. Will fire up the server, and then load up a Normandy map/mission. We need one for tomorrow do we not?

Check in again in about 90 minutes, chances are it's complete by then.

No worries. As long as you do not cancel it's not a problem, its more like watching paint dry...

Indeed. Here's the list I used now: DCS_updater.exe install SINAIMAP_terrain DCS_updater.exe install MARIANAISLANDS_terrain DCS_Updater.exe install THECHANNEL_terrain DCS_updater.exe install PERSIANGULF_terrain DCS_updater.exe install NEVADA_terrain DCS_updater.exe install SYRIA_terrain DCS_updater.exe install NORMANDY_terrain Found this from 2021: "For future reference, here's a link to a table of like all DCS modules, with their names in it: Modules!"

Yep, that was it: My bad!

Ah, I probably missed this one: DCS_updater.exe install NORMANDY_terrain I'll try that one...

"unable to open game on server" Did you ever successfully do that before? I never have, lol. I did not think it was possible ... but, why would you want to do so?

I'll have a look see...

Post the latest patch, I can't see any improvement, mind you I am only talking about the server process here, still 14% CPU load.

Server has been updated.

All done with reinstall, but it does not look like it made any difference, or not much... CPU load while running DDServerPersianGulf-1000hrs is still very high at 12 to 14%, even with no one connected. Could be that it is caused by 'new stuff' running by Rog... I cannot tell.

Kinda had forgotten what time it takes to... install the thing from scratch. So, I was able to start DCS Server, using our standard mission on the Causasus map. It ran. And when finished, to discover... maps... install them. One by one. Oh dear. DCS_updater.exe install SINAIMAP_terrain - done Currently installing these in a batch file, one by one, one after the other, hoping no errors will occur... lol DCS_updater.exe install PERSIANGULF_terrain DCS_UPDATER.EXE install MARIANAISLANDS_terrain DCS_Updater.exe install THECHANNEL_terrain DCS_updater.exe install NEVADA_terrain DCS_updater.exe install SYRIA_terrain DCS_updater.exe install NORMANDY_terrain Tomorrow I will have a look at the result.

Yeah, will try and do that. Or rather leave it. No, wait...

The mods we have on the server are for some of the aircraft me thinks - but I am not sure at all there, whether we could do without. I will start the cleanup - uninstall and shift. First saving all missions and settings to re-use later, possibly... Then reinstall. Add Maps, and settings to run server and web interface. And missions. Starting ... now...
