So, downloaded and installed dcs 1.5.x beta earlier this evening (downloaded the latest installation files => DCS/1.5.0.45208.37 on the torrent) and wasn't able to play, so before anything, i decided to update so at least the latest version is installed.
DCS_Updater, however, doesn't agree and i can basically not download anything:
- cannot download the update (attached logfile)
- cannot install a10c module
- cannot run repair
i downloaded/installed the beta via torrent and it seems either the servers are down, or my computer or the DCS server decided that i can't access it.
Whatever it is, i'm stuck not being able to use the software at all.
system:
hardware
i7-4820K@3.7GHZ
16GB RAM
GTX780
software
windows 10,
Oculus SDK 0.8.0.0
Nvidia drivers 359.00
additional info:
installed on non OS drive (size related)
fiddler shows no communication at all
manually browsing to 'updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com' works, shows build statuses
system clocks and dates are fine, doesn't seem SSL/HTTPS related
In a different logfile (appData\Local\Temp\DCS.openbeta\) there is an additional DCS_Updater and a different logfile but the logs point to DCS\1.2.x which seems unusual being in the beta folder
tried runnning a VPN but had the same responses.
needless to say, internet works fine, downloads, including the torrent went very fast (<15m)
EDIT: some more stuff that came to mind:
no update_info.json in appData folder
no firewalls on either OS or router enabled
ensured enough drive space on OS drive (SSD, >25GB available) so appData\Local\Temp folder lack of space for temporary download files
all downloads stop immediately, no timeouts, started downloads or visual progress whatsoever.
retried everything 'run as Administrator', same results
any help would be appreciated, thanks. autoupdate_log.txt autoupdate.cfg
