Intro. :) I'm using steam version of DCS 1.5. My PC config is more than sufficient to run DCS 1.5., and I have been playing multiplayer and logging-in normally until yesterday. Following problem is not related to my firewall or internet connection I eliminated all possible issues by turning off all firewall and DCS is added to whitelist. Problem: So I was able to normally log-in to multiplayer on 1.5. until yesterday. Today when I tried game at first took a while to process login and then given me error "NO INTERNET CONNECTION" (screenshot 01 attached). This is crazy as obviously, I'm on internet right now and right now game gives me this strange error. :) I tried to spam the login, but it did not help. When I decided to give up, I clicked X above login interface and it gave me new error: "ERROR LOGOUT". (screen 02 attached). I can reproduce this error with 100% success. :( How I tried to resolve: 1. Integrity check - done - DID NOT FIX 2. I don't have special characters in user or password, I logged in to my profile on web-site, reset password, but still NO DICE. 3. I also renamed the folder under /saved games/ to DCS.openbeta which allowed the game to form new DCS folder with fresh configs and logs. - PROBLEM REMAINED. Possible cause? or not Now last time I played game froze due to the fact I wanted to check key mappings when in mission and the information. I had to crash the game through task manager, so I thought maybe game still thinks I'm logged in but I suspect that number 3 would clear out all problems with config or log files. If anyone has a solution before I delete the game and reinstall it, I would appreciate. Thanks

Hi guys! Register me for round 3 Squadron name: TAW Pilots callsign: SeraphimGray Side: Blue

It's Dept of Field setting. Probably set to bokeh. You should be able to change it.

Hi mate! I don't have problem with crashing, so I can't help you on that one. My problem was that after upgrade to 1.5. (steam), my campaign was set to inactive and I lost 16 missions of progress. However I found a way to fix it, see post above this one.

Ok, problem lies in path for campaign. Find logbook.lua, open with notepad. C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor In logbook.lua that was transfered from your old version (1.2.xxx) before upgrading to 1.5. (steam version) path for mission was: ["campaign"] = "./mods/aircraft/Su-25T/Missions/en/Campaigns/Georgian Oil War - Grand Campaign.cmp", while actual path in 1.5. is (at least how logbook.lua records it in v1.5. is: ["campaign"] = ".\\Mods\\aircraft\\Su-25T\\Missions\\en\\Campaigns/Georgian Oil War - Grand Campaign.cmp", also, make sure that you delete any reference to possible "game 2" ["games"] = { [2] = XXXX }, -- end of [2] and to set "last game" to 1 (or your campaign number) ["lastGame"] = 1, Ok, this is manual fix, I believe they will resolve that in patch.

First of all, great job guys! :thumbup: 1.5. is amazing and so far I had not problems at all in running the game. There is one small details that is not right. After installing 1.5., I lost progress on campaign for SU-25T. I still see progress in my logbook.lua, but when switching to campaign with my active pilot, it says that campaign is "inactive" and that I played 0 missions from Georgian Campaign.

Lo and behold... problem again fixes itself. To conclude. Not even reinstalling helped. I called ISP. It was not ISP blocking anything. Only thing that changed in meanwhile was installing new windows updates, but I highly doubt that has anything to do with problem being fixed. Still waiting for official answer from ED support. I flooded them with information about ports and my router settings which proved that problem was not on my end. Sooo... I guess happy times can start, until problem resurrects again

advice from DCS support was: "for logging to Module Manager should be opened an access to http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com with port 443 for logging to Multiplayer game (master.digitalcombatsimulator.com) should be opened port 5222 both connection uses SSL/TLS." I assigned those ports to my router (games and applications) and I used port forward network utility to check ports. All but 443 on TCP protocol are open. (Have in mind, I tried all this also with firewall completely off.) It's odd that 443 is not opened, but it's for Modul Manager which I think don't need since I use steam version, not standalone. From what I understand, 5222 is for server which I can't access. Pingtest - turned out ok. No losses. Ipconfig /flushdns - tried, but no change. Switched internal IP to static, to remove that from the list of possible problems. No change. Now, WinMTR shows some interesting results but I'm not sure I understand them correctly. (attached screenshot). Line 17 - says 63% loss, and it starts recording losses only when I try to connect to multiplayer. So that could be a problem. I guess ISP is doing some blocking? :huh: Attempts to connect to multiplayer almost instantaneously shoot to "can't connect to master" Log: 00021.136 ERROR NET: Can't connect to Master: SSL connect error 00021.136 ERROR NET: Master login : 503 00023.782 INFO NET: client has stopped I guess I'll have to call ISP, but in meantime I will see what DCS support has to say. Also, I'll reinstall the game completely over night and see if that helps. Since I did integrity test, that would be the dumbest solution for the problem, but I'm willing to try it.

Thanx ViFF! I got really swift response also from ED support team. They say it must be my ISP or router. Router is already configured. It's kinda strange that I was able to join multiplayer some day ago and today it's dead. However, in Croatia, nothing should surprise me anymore. Maybe I should have a talk with ISP support first when such things occur.

Unfortunately, in Croatia...

Ok, basically every now and then I get this error when trying to log-in to multiplayer. I read numerous posts but non really explained problem I experience. In short, most of the time, multiplayer works and I can play. However, sometimes and from my perspective too often, this error strikes :confused: :huh: :wallbash: :crash: And now is one of those times that it does not work. Now, it has nothing to do with my: - antivirus - firewall - updated version of the game - integrity of files - reinstallation does nothing for the problem - it's not my ISP provider blocking the traffic I tested above numerous times and any of actions doesn't resolve the problem. Problem as it appears, goes away by itself. Completely random. All that is very annoying. :mad: Especially if you're about to join online event with your team only to find out that you will be taking a forced break and simply there's nothing you can do about it. :badmood: If anything it would be great to see on DCS website that they are having issues with servers :protest:, so I go away can stop trying to fix it or stop trying to connect. :surrender: If anyone cares, logs attached.
