Do a cleanup and repair and make sure you have the latest windows and gpu updates, it may help.

Evening Bignewy,

 

Yeah I was surprised by the large amount of errors on the harrier. Win is up-to-date, gpu is too. Cleaned and repaired dcs and still unfortunately I'm getting timeouts. What is strange is that I do appear to be loosing connection (steam says I go offline then back on instantly), this though only happens on dcs, never seen it with any other game or application.

[BIGNEWY]

strange that steam is going offline also?

 

not sure about this, are you using any security software that maybe creating a problem, or something with the router?

[Danny_P]

Using bitdefender but have made sure nothing is being blocked, router is fine - again made sure it doesn't block anything.

 

What I will do is run some logging on my network, and additional logging on my machine to see if we can't see an issue somewhere.

 

I had another disconnect a few hours ago, I had loaded into an AV8B but then swapped to the viggen, connection dropped about 20mins into the flight. Then I restarted dcs, loaded into same server and only selected the viggen and connection never dropped for over 1.5hours.

 

Does dcs send logging reports whilst the game is running? or is it only on a crash? Wondering if that massive amount of harrier errors is causing something.

 

I'll try for the next few day not to use the harrier and see if I get any disconnects.

 

Cheers,

Danny

I've attached the log for the mission with no timeout, it also has the .old log which is where I did disconnect

looks like it could not resolve the host name here.

 

have you been having DNS problems?

[Danny_P]

Not that I can see on my network logs nor have I experienced any connection problems. I'll keep you posted if I get some new findings :D
