3 Commando Brigade

We've have experienced two server crashes in the last 7 days where the RPT files indicates ACE tagging as the problem (1 Gbyte of ACE tagging errors).  ACE tagging is used in the ACE spray can feature.

I've run some tests and have not been able to replicate the errors.  It might be that someone is doing something "unusual" with the spray can, which is resulting in these errors.  For now, can people please refrain from using the spray can, or at the very least be vigilant about its use.

If possible, how can you cancel missions on Triglav? We had one occasion where we brought in a vehicle back to the area and it would not finish the the task. We were basically stuck and all I could do was to restart the mission.

There is a way. If you are admin (which I assume you were as you restarted the mission) go to the rear of the mission hanger. There is a second laptop right underneath the large flag. From there you can cancel the current mission. However, I am more interested to know why the vehicle mission didn't work. Did you take it all the way back to the pad and did it automatically disconnect from the recovery vehicle? The mission won't end until the vehicle is detached from the truck. It can only do that if it is within 5 meters of the centre of the pad.

Oh boy. We thought we just had to repair the vehicle (normally) and bring it back to that area on the base. We never used the towing truck.

LOL, fair enough. To be honest, I didn't know that was possible. Still, if it was on the pad, I guess it possibly still should have worked as the trigger is its presence on the pad. But yeah, that is why that truck spawns in when you generate the mission.

I also tried destroying the tank after I tried everything, hoping it would at least call the task failed but that also did nothing.

Well, next time, try using the truck that spawns. All you need to do is drive it up and reverse to the front of the crippled vehicle. It will auto-attach. After that, you can drive it back and then place it on the repair pad. It will auto-detach. The mission should declare complete and both vehicles despawn.

...what truck? I certainly never saw it

And it may have been confounded by Zeus having repaired/refuelled the vehicle manually when it became apparent that it had an empty tank - this would have moved locality to him afaik (and possibly even created a new vehicle ID), and depending how the objective is coded may have stopped it firing.

A tow truck spawns at the base. If you check your map, you will see the spawn area is marked. Also, yes, messing around with the mission via Zeus probably will cause issues.

Yeah I was unaware that was how it was done, is it worth adding a description of that or something in the task description or mission brief on your next round of tweaks?

(I appreciate you've got your hands full with other missions and stuff etc so no pressure )
