Cold War 1947 - 1991

[nb]

Also the autoconnect on SRS tries to connect to the old IP.

Can't see the server too, no DDCS, no Burning Skies, nada, zero, ...

River, there was a new update this morning. Probably why.

I did the update right away, running open beta, no server showed up. Buddy spike for example shows up and a lot of others too. I'll give the SRS connect first a try tomorrow. Fly on my team 1Shot or get ready to eject :-)

Still no joy this evening, invisible in server list and error message upon connection attempt via IP says "server offline".

[Anutz]

I was able to connect to the SRS IP then directly connect to the server IP, as other people described.

 

But unfortunately, I was not able to duplicate again after.

[Alpenwolf]

Note that sometimes when you don't see the server, is because I take it down for a few minutes to change some settings trying to solve the problem.

I'll have RuSh tonight looking into it, who's more knowledgeable than me.

Tried again and i can't see and connect to the server. When i connect to the srs server, i can see and connect to the game server. When connected i get a message from SRS which says another server is being advertised on 127.0.0.1:5002 :) Maybe DCS can't see the server because there is no specific port in the first place and when SRS is connected, DCS starts to see it as a server on the next available port. SRS is usually around 5000 and DCS on 10300. But its just a wild guess from me.

I tried again to get on this morning so I will share my results for your troubleshooting Alpenwolf...

 

 

-launched DCS, couldn't see server, no direct IP connection

 

-tried a PING command using the DOS command window. I was able to ping your server

-launched DCS again, still couldn't see your server, no direct IP

-closed DCS, launched SRS, joined your SRS with no issue

-launched DCS, voila, your server was there in the browser

-closed DCS, closed SRS, relaunched DCS only and your server was still right there in the browser

 

 

This is such a strange issue, hopefully these notes can help as you try to track it down.

I've asked Ciribob about it. Still awaiting his response. We'll see...

I think your firewall configuration is wrong... At those rules when you allow srs and dcs trafic, you shoul have remote port set at any. This configuration allows connections only from client which have source port 10308 - source port could be any random number from 1024 to 65535....

[dFlow]

did some test with your server, quite weird thing:

 

it is not visible in list.

without being connected with srs, dcs can't connect to it via IP

being connected to the srs server, connection is suddenly possible - srs telling me that the server i connect to has a different ip.

so from my point of view there seems to be some sort of names-mismatch on server side

could this be possible?

tried this aswell, and yep.. server finally shows up after connecting to srs first

[LuSi_6]

That's not what I meant when I said you should force people to use SRS ;)

[1Shot1KiLL]

tried conecting to SRS via this 193.70.81.86 IP. no sucsess. there is no server list in DCS either. and when l try conecting by IP, l get a msg saying server offline. are you shure you are hosting in 2.5 beta ?

[Dehuman]

Could it be, by accident, you've found a way to enforce SRS connection for players? :P

 

It's one of those strange things that I keep checking this thread just because my lust for problem solving compels me to know the outcome.

Currently offline due to changes I'm adding. Server goes on and off to test things.

No. No scripts are used to enforce anything.

[Alpenwolf]

Try now, please.

[Dehuman]

No. No scripts are used to enforce anything.

 

You misunderstand, I mean have you inadvertently, through this bug, whatever it turns out to be found a new way to enforce SRS. Also tongue in cheek. Personally I'm against any measures to limit participation in DCS multiplayer and I am under the impression you share similar feelings.

I'm not going to enforce anything, if that helps you relax :smilewink:

 

 

Able to see the server now?

[Dehuman]

No. Not in game, on the server list nor can I connect SRS. Have you taken it down again?

[Alpenwolf]

I've disabled SRS completely to see how it runs without it. Ciribob confirms that SRS is somehow opening the ports for DCS. I've shut down the server twice since my last post here, so maybe you didn't catch the window then. It's back up again.

[Dehuman]

Can't see it in game nor connect via IP but it is showing up on the websites server list
