If you're willing to wait for me to have a good day off, I'm more than happy to burn the installer files to CD and drop them in the mail if it'll help you get up and running. This is why I play SB, great folks willing to help. Just waiting for the pc build. Never had a problem downloading the files. My problem was an old computer with an illegal copy of windows 7 (installed by intell). Could not execute the files. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this still an issue in version 4.3? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraxas Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I've just tested it to be a host in a network session of the same scenario till open the map (Bergen-Soltau-Munster). Results (Win10): Server SBProPE64cm (8 participants): 1 min 35 sec Server SBProPEServer64cm (25 participants): 3 min 32 sec It's not a really problem for me, as I've time and I'm still young at almost 72 years of age and can wait😉 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumituisku Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 For me it takes as well a considerably longer as server than a client. Seen it many times when hosting Kanium games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My times stop when you get to the menu that includes "Network Session" - yours go well beyond that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted June 25, 2023 Members Share Posted June 25, 2023 Can you please launch the PE server and the regular PE version both with TRACE logging (=debug mode) on, then set up a network session with no participants, and proceed to the planning Phase, then end Steel Beasts? Afterwards, please send me the resulting debugLog files. Hopefully there's a common pattern as to which steps in the process take up so much time. For the record, this is bug #8139. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Will do, however it will be in a few hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Identical scenario selected for both runs. 1. Regular PE version: 1 Min 4.73 Seconds to planning phase. Debug Log: DebugLog Regular 2. Server PE version: 1 Min 22.35 Seconds * to planning phase. * perhaps a second lost answering the "your license will expire in X days" warning.

Members Ssnake Posted June 26, 2023 Members Share Posted June 26, 2023 Thank you. In this first case it seems like the PE Server spends more time with the creation of certain minefields. The total time deviation appears not very dramatic, but maybe more test runs with other machines and other scenarios will reveal something. I had expected some network timeouts to be responsible for the delays, but this is clearly not the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxas Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) I have a scenario where mines are scripted to be laid, triggered and can also be requested. We (5x DE, 1x CH, 1x US and 1 AU participant) played it yesterday! Everything works in a test and as a single player. As a host with a total of 8 participants, everything also works. But yesterday with the large server (> 8 participants) there are problems: Scripted cluster mine barriers were not laid or triggered. Only the currently requested cluster mine barriers were fired.
