hello. i translated your message. it mentions HOST file. this file is located here. C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc open it with NOTEPAD and share the contents of the file. if i understand, it has an invalid entry. here is mine. # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost normally there is nothing in this file. anything with # in front is commented out.

hello. you should post the dcs.log created when the dcs freezes. also share the miz so we can try to see what we get.

no AV at all? this message is common with AV blocking. looks like an issue with the KOLA map. if you can get into DCS without running the update, disable KOLA in modules. then update. then re-enable KOLA and try again. i have all the above exclusions in my AV and have no issues with KOLA or any other of the terrains. i have them all on my system.

hello. check to see if your AV is blocking the update. also it is suggested to add exclusions to AV to prevent future problems. also you can download the latest updater here. http://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/files/DCS_updater_64bit.zip replace the current dcs_updater.exe file in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin with one found in zip.

oh so your issue was not resolved? the problem with marking a topic as resolved when it is not resolved is the green checkmark will appear on the post and some poor hapless soul will see it and think YAY and then get a letdown when it is not resolved.

interesting and good find. can the MIZ TRK file be edited to the correct format?

hello. windows defender also with will block critical files for DCS. find exclusions in settings and add these folders. then run a repair.

hello. what AV do you use and what are the exceptions? sounds like AV blocking the DLL. also upload a log. there is not much to go on with what you have shared.

first thing to check is disable your mods in case there is a conflict. also may want / need to run a repair. mods need to be updated to the latest patch level most of the time.

hello. give it some time. if the mod is popular, the mod will be updated to the current patch level.

i regularly get a good download speed. the server is in ashburn va which is pretty close to me. i am in chesapeake va. try to restart all your equipment. restart pc.

@kiss4luna - i do not see in this thread that you have tried to restart your internet equipment. that would be another easy thing to do. eliminate that being the issue. router / modem / etc.

i had this on the day the patch was posted. i canceled my download because it was going to take a while. i restarted my computer, retried, and was back to 90+ MB/s. at the time it sure pointed to my end being the problem. in my case a restart of my PC was all that was need to get it all sorted. i suppose you could try a VPN. some other users have this same issue and VPN is used as a solution. but DCS often has issues with server overload at time of patch release.

@Spanishcop and @Darkdiz y'all jumped on a post more than a year old that was marked as resolved. you should make another post and share all your log files per normal forum procedure. @Darkdiz - your log notes lots of mods. you should disable prior to a repair. mods are known to need an update after DCS does an update.

hello. if your issue was not corrected, you should open another ticket. after all it was @Lord_Pyro topic to open and to close.

if this is true, you have discovered a very counterintuitive problem. this is a good observation. i have seen this type statement in lots of problem reports here on the forums. now that i think about it. the stuttering happening when players are claiming different slots sounds a lot like bandwidth usage.

i had the Experience app prior to uninstalling it and going for the new nvidia app. i have seen people mention the nvidiaware causes troubles in their systems. so maybe. your hypothesis about filtering seems sound. i do not not play much MP. but i do have squadron created missions that are made for MP / CO-OP PvE. i will try one while filtering the AC types.

all of the logs show the freeze without a doubt. it is not crashing. i do not see that you said you did a repair. have you tried that?

you said nothing about loading a track. does this happen with any other server? just trying to help.

hello. the dcs.log is not showing a crash. looks like you are loading a track? 2024-12-26 20:39:16.571 INFO Dispatcher (Main): loadMission C:\Users\AJaromir\Saved Games\DCS\Tracks\Multiplayer\Aerobatics Europe Caucasus-20241226-213916.trk 2024-12-26 20:39:16.571 INFO WORLDGENERAL (Main): loading mission from: "C:\Users\AJaromir\Saved Games\DCS\Tracks\Multiplayer\Aerobatics Europe Caucasus-20241226-213916.trk" not much in the log to diagnose anything.

hello. in the interim, planning makes perfect. keep track of the patching thread. they always have planned dates for updating. unfortunately, this request has a snowball's chance in hell.

guten tag. am besten wäre es, im Defender Ausnahmen hinzuzufügen. Bei jedem Patch werden bestimmte Dateien aktualisiert und können aufgrund von Änderungen an der Datei blockiert werden. tschuss

hello. post your DCS.LOG found in saved games. ensure you have disabled all mods and run a repair is a good start.

good question. i personally had an issue many moons ago with the slideshow for windows desktop. you know where you can pick anywhere to call the images and it changes at intervals? that was causing stutters. disk reads are a real problem with DCS. i do not do anything such as this when DCS is running. so makes sense but does not explain why DCS chokes. DCS is like a beautiful but crazy girlfriend.

there is also a method to have another drive, even an HDD and make a symlinks of the C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\_downloads folder. updates will go there and disappear after a successful update. Je vous souhaite à tous un joyeux Noël et une bonne année! (merci Google)
