MP server issues

[amperasand]

I am having issues with the MP server.

 

The list doesn't look right. It looks like it doesn't populated properly. I am coming bak after a couple of months away, but I dont see hardly any servers?

 

Also, I'm not able to connect to server using a direct connection. I have the right details (via discord for growling sidewinder server) and it just comes up with server is offline. Obviously this is incorrect. The server is def up?

 

Do I need to do anything with my router?

 

Not sure what is going on TBH

Sounds like your DCS installation is not up to date. What version are you on?

Current version for Open Beta as well as Stable Release can be seen here: http://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/

I am def up to date, so it's not that.

Are there different server lists?

 

I have a shadow, which is a virtual machine running on a fast server so I can play on max settings without a 1080.

The DCS server list is the same on my shadow, so it's nothing to do with my local configuration.

 

If the DCS server list is accurate, then DCS MP has gone way downhill in just a couple of months. I can't even see Growling Sidewinders public server?

 

Is it to do with my account? I have no idea what is going on here. I have attached a screenshot of the server list, so you can see how crap it is.

What's the version of your DCS installation then?

Hi

 

Forwarding ports may help and also check your antivirus is not creating the problem.

 

Ports and protocols used for DCS world are below

 

DCS uses outgoing connections to

 

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

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

XMPP master.eagle.ru:5222

 

For multiplayer game traffic DCS uses both TCP and UDP on port 10308

 

hope it helps

Thanks for your reply. But I am pretty sure it's not my local config as I'm getting the same list from my shadow - which is a VM running from a separate location.

 

So, the only thing it can be is something to do with my account - or maybe DCS MP is not as good as it used to be.

 

But I don't think this is the case. I should be seeing at least the growling sidewinder public server?

 

I attached an image of the list I see a couple of messages back, check it out

- is this the same as yours? Do you see the Growling Sidewinder public server?

As BIGNEWY said, the Growling Sidewinder server (as well as most of the popular servers) run on the open beta. So it actually is your version that is the issue ;)
