ATC and Awacs do not respond on our MP server
-
In case relevant the server has no sound card (same as with 4.33) but has on board AMD high def audio device. It also lists additional ? High def audio device in device manager.

Hold on
I have a terrible doubt here
Do you confirm that your server is actually in 3D before clients joining ?

Ok, guys, first of all, thank you, Mav-jp for giving me a hand on this and everyone who took time to help me here! Well, after seeing Mav-jp saying that BMS needs to be in 3d world to function properly, i decided to test the ATC with the server in 3d, and everything worked! All requests are answered by Awacs and ATC. So the thing is, something different in 4.34 requires the dedicated server to be in 3d world to make it happen, which was not something crutial in the previous version 4.33 (we had been flying for almost 2 years with the server in 2d and nothing absurd happened ever). QUESTION: does BMS 4.34 require anything different from its previous version that makes it inefficient in 2d? I don’t know whether or not this is a bad thing for dedicated servers. I can tell you that the VPS my squadron use to host BMS is not capable of handling 4.34 in 3d world. Think we are going to have to increase our server specs maybe. Anyways, I don’t know if this is the real “fix” for this issue, but this is the way i managed to run BMS 4.34 with ATC and Awacs working. Thank you, guys!!! Hopefully, there will be another solution for this!!!

Ignore anything ive written. Back to square one. Old 433 server did not/does not have any entry in IVC ip but works. Of course it should be 127.0.0.1 Confusion bred confusion.
Back to OP Rioevcfenix while wait for player feedback.
Server in 3D ? Leaving aside any benefits of being in 3D, Not being in the 433 server by choice sometimes has never interfered with the comms. Interaction with clients is often useful/needed so being in 2D (4.33) often preferable. Many clients do not use IVC.Just seen the above post so will try as Mav-Jp said and has seemed to work for Rioevcfenix .

Not only ATC need a server in 3D, also carrier ops need it. All the game initialisations are perfectly managed by a server in 3D which was never the case with a server in 2D

Hey, Cobalt! The IVC errors reported were fixed by turning the windows audio service on and unchecking both IVC options before hosting the server. Now the messages no longer pop up. Thank you and hope you’re right about the fact that BMS shouldn’t require to be in 3d to function just like before…

Indeed clients can not spawn properly on carriers of server is 2D
The trick is to put server in 3D on a distant airbase with minimal GFX settings all shaders off etc…and let it there in hud view mode
And sorry to tell but Bms always required to be in 3D to host properly
Many things are (and we’re) not working in 2D
It becomes more obvious with ATC since before ATC was hosted locally by the client that dragged the airbase , which was one of the reason why ATC was inconsistent and unreliable in MP
Now ATC is hosted by the server /host which makes it 100% reliable

How about keeping server in 3D ejected from his plane? What do you recommend?

Absolutly not
Not only ejection stops running many parts in the code but then the view goes action view and switch all other the place which is not good for stability (terrain loading and unloading)
Keep in in an aircraft in hud view on the ground
With the new ATC this aircraft will not be inserted in the queue and this will not screw the ATC Flo

Thank you very much for explaination. I’ll spread that info to my fellows.
