Good day! I have tried to download DCS for 3 times, all of them without success because, after several hours, the download gets cut. This is the log i get:

you are unable to reach the updates server. perhaps IPV6 needs to be enabled? anything on your system change since the last time you had a successful update?

Hi, please try adding your main DCS folders as exceptions in your antivirus:

  • C:\Users\your-name\Saved Games\DCS (or DCS.openbeta)
  • \DCS World (or DCS World OpenBeta)

If you keep having this issue, try uninstalling old antivirus you're not using anymore thanks to their uninstaller tool (Avast and AVG both have one).

Thanks to both for your responses. I don't know what ipV6 is. Also, the only antivirus I'm using is the windows one. if you could tell me where to enable IPV6, and if i can add my dCS folder as an exception to the Windows antivirus. Thank you!

 

Try Option 2

 

use instructions in this link option 2. you can always disable it again. 

 

Add Exceptions

 

try link for instructions.

Do you use/have Steam?  Since DCS is available on Steam, that may be an option you can try.

@artmustel can you visit www.digitalcombatsimulator.com ?

 

it could be a DNS provider issue. what is your ISP? what sort of firewall?

I've seen this twice:

  • First time, a remainder of Avast (although "uninstalled") was blocking the DCS updater.
  • Second time, the user had his VPN turned OFF. Do you have a VPN? If yes, turn it on and if it doesn't work, try disabling your firewall during the updating process.

Please read these threads and try what worked for these guys.

You can find antivirus uninstallers here (for Avast) and here (for AVG).

Something has to be blocking it, either locally or regional. 

 

Using a VPN may help in some cases, which regions are you in?
