Multiplayer problem

[Goliat]

Hi everyone !

I've had a problem for a long time on DCS : I can't connect to any server like Aerobatics, Open Conflicts, 104th etc...

 

Let me explain :

I click on the desired server, the loading time is very long and I mustn't click anywhere otherwise the game crashes...

After waiting a long time I get to the planes list, I choose my plane between two freezes, I see the external view before the cockpit and it's always the same issue : back to the server list with the window "Timeout" and the game crashes !

 

But there is one thing I can't understand : I have no problem to join my squad's dedicated server or a private session by direct IP.

 

I've already uninstall and repair the game but the problem is still the same.

 

What's wrong ?

 

Here is my config :

MSI Z87-G43 with 8go DDR3

Intel Core i5 4670K

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you delete the Eagle Dynamics folder from your C:/Program Files after you uninstalled the game?

 

If you did not its possible that what ever is causing this issue is still on your system sir.

Hi and thank you for your answer !

No I haven't done it, so should I uninstall the game again et delete the folder ?

[104th_Maverick]

If I was in your shoes sir, I would try an uninstall again.

 

Make sure you manually delete the ED folder from the C:\Program Files like I mentioned, then re-install.

 

Let me know how it goes!

[Goliat]

ok I will save my commands and settings and uninstall re-install the game.

I come back to you after that.

Thank you for your quick answer !

Hi !

I re-installed the game and the problem is still the same !

Sometimes the crashes before reaching the planes list.

I don't understand what's wrong... :(

Thanks for your help

Damn son... what have you done!?

 

It seems like all roads are now leading to a Hardware issue mate... I'm no expert when it comes to hardware however if its happening on all 3 of the major populated servers then that potentially indicates a hardware problem. Although I'll admit there is a good chance I am wrong here, its just my best guess, the fact that you can join your Squads server is really confusing!

 

If it was software related a full reinstall should have fixed this as the chances of you downloading a corrupt install more than once is pretty remote.

 

I'm out of ideas now my friend... I wish I could help fix this for you :(

Thanks

 

Not sure on this one.

 

First thing I would do is make sure windows and all device drivers are up to date.

 

remove any unofficial modifications in DCS and run a repair

 

remove any scripts from saved games and try running a vanilla install

 

also are you using trackIR or another tracking alternative?

[Goliat]

Thanks for your answer.

I have lanch a windows update session, it has found 3 critical updates that I'm downloading now.

What is an "unofficial modification" for DCS ? Since my reinstall (yesterday) I had just activated the planes and tryed to connect to multi.

I don't have any saved game, only my training missions that I built in the mission editor. What is a "vanilla install" ?

Yes I'm using a TrackIR device. My windows is 7 in 64 bit version and the version 1.5 of DCS
