Whats up with the updater!?

[SimHog]

Ok I've got two issues:

 

1) For last two updates the updater fails to update, the command prompt box pops up then closes and DCS World just opens up as normal. I have had to revert to doing the command prompt thing in below thread to get it to work.

2) After every manual update however I get the "can't connect to master" when entering MP. In order to fix that I have to do a complete uninstall and re-install DCS World and all the modules.

 

I've setup my anti-virus / firewall to allow ALL the .exe's in the DCS folder and I've even allowed them in my router's firewall.

 

My mate suggested I just install DCS World and install the modules from within the module manager which I'm doing right now. ---> EDIT ---> The module manager won't accept my username / password ... gerrrrr

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Whenever I have issues with the updater, I change my computer time to the day before and re-launch DCS. Then the updater launches automatically again.

Seriously ... oh man.

 

Well I've been trying the module manager thing inside DCS World and keeps saying invalid username / password, yet I have no issue logging into my account via the website ... What is going on here?

You must use the "User Name & Password" that was used when purchasing the module. Frequently asked Questions sections has the info.

Yeah that I know. I was able to login and play multiplayer prior to the recent update, where I had to re-download and re-install everything from scratch for the update before that.

 

Its frustrating because I've got really crappy internet in my area, it takes me 10 hours to download the DCS World module alone, last time I travelled 1.5 hours to a mates house who's got cable :P

Solved the problem ... Bitdefender Internet Security 2015

 

Uninstalled it and now I can install all my modules via the module manager.

 

Can anyone recommend an Anti-Virus program that doesn't conflict with DCS?

Yeah I had that before but thought I needed stronger protection after I installed ImageBurn and it installed some thing that high jacked my web browsers and MalwareBytes didn't pick it up.

 

I think I might research software before installing it from now on.

I use NOD32 V8 without any issue.
