[RESOLVED]No Internet Connection error.

[Kelevra9987]

Greetings,

as of yesterday I've got a rather strange error.

I start DCS (no matter which version), get prompted to login, I type in my password and click on the Arrow to the Right and get an instant "No Internet Connection" Error.

But since I obviously have an Internet Connection I think thats on DCS's side. Every other Game and Program (except Remote Desktop) works just fine with my normal Pings.

Firewall is disabled and Ports are forwarded in the router.

 

Can someone help me? Would be cool to play Online again.

 

Oh yeah.. and I'm using Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Build 14295 rs1

 

 

Cheers :)

That is odd Kelevra9987,

 

are you able to visit http://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ in your browser?

[Kelevra9987]

Jup. Like I said, my Internet Connection works just fine. I can visit every site and have normal Pings. I also rebooted Computer, Switch and Router but no joy :/

[BIGNEWY]

Please attach your whole logs folder zipped, and your autoupdate_log.txt which can be found in your main install location

[Kelevra9987]

Okay here you go :)

Logs DCS1-5-3.zip

Logs DCS2-0-1.zip

autoupdate_log.txt

[BIGNEWY]

seeing Error 503 - Service unavailable in your logs I will enquire

[Kelevra9987]

But then why only for DCS?

Every other Program, Game, Website works as usual :(

[BIGNEWY]

Try flushing your DNS

[BIGNEWY]

also do you have any security software installed?

 

Also try deleting your password ingame and re-typing it

[Kelevra9987]

FlushDNS didn't help and I use the Microsoft Security Suite. Wich I allready disabled for the Test so there is no fault either.

[BIGNEWY]

You say your firewall is disabled but is DCS allowed in the firewall as well, windows can be funny that way sometimes

[Kelevra9987]

I can try that. Give me a second.

[BIGNEWY]

Other things to try:

 

Do a repair

 

rename your saved games dcs folder ( keep it as a backup ) and restart dcs, it will create a new one, then redo your settings, this will eliminate a settings problem with the game.

[Kelevra9987]

Okay done following things:

 

- DCS allowed in Firewall : No joy

- Done repair : No joy

- New DCS Folder in SavedGames : No joy

- Added GoogleDNS Server ( 8.8.8.8 ) as Alternate DNS : No joy

- Restarted everything again : No joy

 

Same 503 Error everytime I try.

[BIGNEWY]

who is your ISP?

[Kelevra9987]

It's KabelBW / Unitimedia

Connection is a 100k Cable.

Also the Error happend yesterday the first time. Before everything worked just fine.

[BIGNEWY]

Not that it should make a difference but are you on IPv6 or IPv4?

 

and also wireless or wired connection?

[Kelevra9987]

IPv4 shared with multiple other Networks. Thats some strange thing from Unitimedia that I also never heard of before. But as I said, worked since day one. And I have this connection since Early 2015.

[BIGNEWY]

Ports used with DCS 80, 443, 10308

 

HTTP http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com:80

HTTPS http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com:443

 

and TCP/UDP on 10308 (by default) for MP traffic.

[BIGNEWY]

I will highlight this to the ED team, give me some time as it is the easter holiday for some of us at the moment

[Kelevra9987]

Okay :) Thank you Bignewy.

[Kelevra9987]

Sorry for Doublepost but I think I've solved it.

 

Well I mean all signs were heading towards an Internet Problem of some sorts but... well... until I ran DCS_updater.exe as Administrator... Never had to before but maybe something changed with the latest Update of Windows.

 

 

Cheers :)

[BIGNEWY]

excellent!

 

and the one thing I forgot to mention lol :)

[Reflected]

I have the same in 2.1. It wants to update it to 2.05 again, and I cannot log in. I ran everything as admin.

[beikul]

Similar problem here. Just ran the updater hoping to get 2.1 and I'm now on 2.0.5.3889 with the 'No Internet Connection error'. Flushing the DNS cache had no effect.

 

Edit: and now it's logged in ok, guess this was some kind of temporary server problem
