Gökhan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hello, Accidentally I logged onto multiplayer mode while I was on VPN. After terminating the VPN connection, I am no longer to display Turkish servers anymore and since I was on VPN with a German IP, all the German servers and close by servers are shown. Is there any cache like file that I should delete or manipulate to display the Turkish servers back? Normally Turkish servers had 5ms to 18ms ping times while now the fastest German server has 40ms yet the problem is that the Turkish servers are not displayed anymore. By the way, if I launch Open Beta then I can display the Turkish servers so I guess it has to to with DCS.exe file. Please support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team c0ff Posted August 24, 2020 ED Team Share Posted August 24, 2020 no such cache. check your network config/routes. Dmitry S. Baikov @ Eagle Dynamics LockOn FC2 Soundtrack Remastered out NOW everywhere - https://band.link/LockOnFC2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gökhan Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hi C0ff, If that was a network / route matter open beta should have been also affected. Don't you think? Yet only DCS stable release is having this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXsenna Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Windows also acts like a router (believe that's v what he ment), and will keep routes etc cached for a while. Try resetting your routing tables and DNS cache. Can't remember the commands from the top of my head. You didn't restart Windows right?

Flappie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) Here are the Windows command: Display cache : ipconfig /displaydns Clear cache : ipconfig /flushdns Edited August 24, 2020 by Flappie Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord.

Gökhan Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thanks for the suggestions, all applied yet the result is still the same. Open beta is displaying the Turkish servers while stable version looks still stuck. Still acts like I am in Germany due to the last VPN connection. I think the game itself has a cache like file to store this info that is not refreshed. Anyone else having another idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I guess you have a special network adapter in Windows that corresponds to your VPN connection. Can you try disabling it and see if that changes anything?

Gökhan Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 C'est génial Flappie, j'avais totallement oublié que le VPN avait crée son propre adapteur et DCS pourrait y etre coincé. Helas! J'ai décidé de reinstaller Windows 10 (refresh) avant de voir cette poste. Si jamais je tombe sur la meme situaiton, je vais essayer ceci. Merci beaucoup.

Gökhan Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Update on the matter; Formatted the computer and reinstalled all!! DCS and DCS Open Beta have also been clean installed. I also did disable the adapter of the VPN software yet the result did not change. DCS stable version still thinks I am in Germany and even though I try to connect with IP, doesn't allow me to for the Turkish servers saying that "server is down". On the other hand, DCS Open Beta is able to display all the Turkish servers and I am able to play in. Strange to have this after the clean install.

Flappie Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 OK. Can you please give us IPs of some Turkish servers you are trying to connect? I'll do the test on my side., just to be sure.

If I push to connect by IP using these, Dcs Stable indicates that they are offline.

Flappie Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I have the exact same results. There is nothing wrong with DCS nor your computer. In the last few weeks you were able to join a DCS server with either stable or open beta becasue they were sharing the same DCS version, but that it not possible at the moment since they are having different DCS versions: (source) Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord.

Gökhan Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 So you mean that having two different server list is normal? What do I do to log onto the Turkish servers invisible in stable version that are visible in Open Beta? Simply don't log on :-) Thanks for the support by the way...

WinterH Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Probably the servers you are looking for are hosting Open Beta, and hence aren't visible on Stable, that would be my guess. I don't think DCS has, or ever had region related server listing. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Probably the servers you are looking for are hosting Open Beta, and hence aren't visible on Stable, that would be my guess. Exactly. The OB servers are onle visible from the stable version when both branches share the same version, which happens rarely these days (7 days in one month at best). Gökhan, if you want to fly those open beta servers regularly, you have to switch to OB. I have both versions because I fly with different comunities: one uses the OB, and the other one uses only stable.

I don't think DCS has, or ever had region related server listing. That's indeed the case. When I consulted the players on those servers that said that only OB could participate. Funny that I have been able to play through stable version for a time frame. I turns out that Flappie was right regarding the stable and OB exe files to have different versions thus difference in server listings. For a short time stable and OB has the same exe file that allowed me to see the desired servers from stable version. Thanks to Flappie and WinterH for the valuable comments.

Flappie Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 You're welcome. Remember you can check branches version anytime here: https://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ Whenever the two branches versions numbers are identical, stable and open beta versions are fully compatible.
