Heck try having everybody spawn in bombers with formations on. That should put an additional load on the host.

Heck, why not just enable B17 formations for both sides and if the server doesn't crash we can have Death Star Wars!  :banana:

Personally, I think it should be tested with the exact setup we had for FSO last friday when it crashed.  We know it crashed with that setup and should be redone that way.  If you set the arena up with another setup and it doesn't crash, it proves nothing except that it doesn't crash with that setup.  Again, I suggest using the exact setup for frame 2 and see if it repeats as a crash.

BTW, will try to get the AK's there to help.

I agree. However, one of the key things is that we were told the risk goes up with the amount of players in arena. So basically we need to get around 450+ in the arena and spawning at one time to match last Friday's setup. Not sure if we will get that or not.

So probably best things is to go with the setup of last friday. Then if it all goes well with the numbers we have then try to put more stress on the host code by having everybody spawn as bombers with formations. The whole aim here is to induce a crash so that the debugger code that HTC put in place can catch the issue and record it so that they then can diagnose / fix it.

Not sure what setup 68Falcon will have, but you guys go with it. Yes it would be best to have the 'exact' setup we had last Friday during the crash, but that will be next to impossible to do as it is not on a Friday night. Most players set aside their Friday night for FSO, but many can't make it on a Thursday. I doubt I will be able to attend due to my kids sports. We need players, lots of players. Formations is a great idea. We want to load it up as much as possible.

If after everyone launches and nothing happens maybe 68Falcon will opt for everyone upping in B-17's as someone suggested.

Bottom line is just go with the flow. Watch the text buffer for CM messages and do what is asked. If things go our way it will crash. :)

It was a great time B17's with formations playing as fighters.  I think there were over 300 sharing the same airspace the same time.
