Can't Join Any Servers

[GC1993]

I've recently come back to DCS after several months away at Uni, and can't seem to join any multiplayer servers. My internet connection is up and running, the connection speed is set to LAN in options, and I'm running the latest version of DCS.

 

I've tried many servers and it's the same for all - I click join, the loading screen comes up, goes all the way and is about to jump into the server when "Connection Interrupted" suddenly flashes up and returns me to the server list. I don't think it's a ban message, as if I understand correctly when you're banned "connection interrupted" comes up immediately when you try and join a server, rather than it loading first......also like I said it's ALL servers.

 

Anyone got any suggestions?

are you using a firewall / antivirus that could be interfering with the connection?

Nope, not added any firewall or changed anything on that spectrum since I last played and it was fine before. Been reading around and it might be to do with integrity checks? Only mod I added since it last worked was Starway's afterburner mod but apparently that passes integrity checks fine.......so I'm stumped.

anything showing in your logs after the failed connection?

On event viewer? Nothing error related coming up no :(

C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS

 

you will find your log folder, zip it and attach here after a failed connection

Ok, feel free to have a look at the attached, shout if I've attached it wrong or attached the wrong thing.

The only thing I can think of next is to make a backup of your controls C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input

then delete your dcs folder in the saved games folder, dcs will create a new one when you restart, then you can place your input folder you saved back in.

 

Also try a repair from the start menu.

Just tried the first suggestion, still no avail. I'm hesitant to do a repair because I'll have to put all my mods back on afterwards....do you reckon the issue is mod related with this newest afterburner one I've put on? It's the only change to my set-up since it was working before...

[BIGNEWY]

it is difficult to say, but having a clean install with no mods would be a good place to start from to troubleshoot.

See these posts about the afterburner mod, others were installing it incorrectly and failing integrity checks

thanks mustang

OK just did a DCS repair to make the game clean again, I entered servers fine. I then installed all the mods (about 4 or so) that worked previously with multiplayer, tried again, and it didn't work. So something has changed either in DCS or with the existing mods which is failing the integrity check.

 

At least we've worked out it's nothing to do with the afterburner mod as I didn't attempt to re-enable that one......just weird that a mod that used to work fine is suddenly failing the checks. :(

at least you are back online again, enjoy :)
