JumpinK Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) I tried to download/install the 2.5.3.21107 Open Beta hotfix today, but the messagebox "couldn't connect to server" appears every time I try to update. does anyone else have this problem currently? edit: found the reason... some routers from my telecomunications-provider went down for a while due to heavy thunderstorms... ...updating now.:D Edited September 1, 2018 by JumpinK "Landing on the ship during the daytime is like sex, it's either good or it's great.

Redglyph Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 I have the same problem, but it's not my provider so it must be something else. What I posted in the wrong forum earlier: I was trying to update from 2.5.2.20601 to 2.5.3.21107, after a long time off DCS (heatwave here made it impractical). But no luck, the updater only says "Couldn't connect to server" (DCSupdater 2.9.4.76) Is the server down or is there something I missed on the update procedure?

Redglyph Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Well, it seems on and off, after multiple tries it finally updated. So don't give up if you have the same issue. Here's one of the logs when it fails. I tried to install additional modules but I can't reach the server anymore, again. It really seems like one of the update servers has serious issues. 00000.000 === Log opened UTC 2018-09-01 18:42:27 00000.006 INFO : DCS_Updater/2.9.4.76 (Windows NT 6.1.7601; Win64; en-GB) 00000.006 INFO : cmdline: "S:\games\DCS_beta\bin\dcs_updater.exe" --apply install YAK-52 00000.008 STATUS: Initializing... 00000.008 INFO : basedir: S:\games\DCS_beta 00000.008 INFO : dcs_variant.txt: openbeta 00000.011 INFO : DCS/2.5.3.21107 (x86_64; EN; WORLD,POLYCHOPSIM_SA342,RAZBAM_M-2000C,L-39,FW-190D9,UH-1H,A-10C,P-51D,KA-50,F-15C,P51D-HIGHSTAKES_campaign,BF-109K4,UH-1H_video_EN,MIG-15BIS,F-86F,A10C-PIERCING_FURY_campaign,F86-MIG15-RELIC_campaign,F-5E,MIG-21BIS,MI-8MTV2,SPITFIRE-MKIX,BALTICDRAGON_A10C-ENEMY_WITHIN_campaign,AJS37,UH-1H_ARGO_campaign,LAIVYNAS_MI-8MTV2_OILFIELD_campaign,WWII-ARMOUR,A10C-TTQ_campaign,RAZBAM_AV8BNA,A10C-REDFLAG_campaign,F15C-REDFLAG_campaign,NEVADA_terrain,MAPLEFLAG_F5E_BFM_campaign,NORMANDY_terrain,SPITFIRE-MKIX-OPERATIONEPSOM_campaign,L39_KURSANT_campaign,FA-18C,PERSIANGULF_terrain) 00000.011 INFO : branch: openbeta 00000.011 STATUS: Connecting to update servers... 00000.472 INFO : Got reply from http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com 00001.692 ERROR: Conection to server 'srv3update.digitalcombatsimulator.com' failed: Couldn't connect to server 00001.692 ERROR: srv3update.digitalcombatsimulator.com replied HTTP -1 00001.694 ERROR: Couldn't connect to server 00003.141 === Log closed.
