AA2 v0.9 times out while loading on multiplayer

Post by hess8 » Sun Oct 16, 2022 8:18 pm

I get a slot timeout when I try to fly multiplayer on AA2 v0.9. I didn't get it before with v0.8. I don't get it when loading another large landscape West_Germany UHD.

I have it on an SSD drive that winsat tests to read at 500MB/s

Any ideas on how to fix this?

It takes about 2.5 to 3 minutes to load while not on multiplayer.

Your system is not powerful enough to handle the windmills and powerlines

But I can open it in freeflight, so my system can handle it at least in terms of memory etc.

Is there a way to change the dedicated server so it allows more time to load?

No. There is a fixed timeout on multiplayer loading times.

Sometimes it helps to load the landscape in freeflight before joining a server. Of that doesn't help use what Bre901 suggested above and use the object file without the powerlines and windmills. That vastly speeds up loading times.

Try first to replace the PY-chat.c3d with this one. (Unzip it in AA2/World/Objects)
PY-chat.zip
It is lighter and without shading and therefore faster to download by Condor, and it may solve your problem.

Thanks guys.

The lighter PY-chat.c3d didn't help but the new AA2.obj file without the powerlines and windmills did speed the loading up a lot, so I can join flights on AA2v0.9.
