Stuck on "Loading..." when i try to join a multiplayer server

[romie814]

Hi,

 

I am unable to get into multiplayer servers.  It seems to get stuck where it says "Loading..." and does not make it to the loading bar.

 

I am able to play single player fine.  

 

Attached is my last log file for reference.

 

 

Update - added another crash log

dcs.log

Thanks,

Jerome

Hi. You first crash was in fact a freeze. It seems the game was unable to load SRS. Here is the last line of your log:

2021-01-23 05:19:45.430 INFO    LuaNET: Trying to Launch SRS @ C:\Program Files\DCS-SimpleRadio-Standalone

 

This might explain why you don't have issues in single player mode.

Try reinstalling SRS.

 

Your second crashlog is not easy to interpret. Let's concentrate on SRS for now.

Update to my issue.  uninstalled SRS, but i am still stuck on the "loading..." screen when i try to join a MP server.  Attached is my last log file.  Please let me know if you need anything else.

 

Thanks.dcs.log

We need to activate the debug log mode. Maybe we'll get more information. Here's what you need to do:

1. Close DCS
2. Paste the autoexec.cfg file below into "C:\Users\your-name\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\"
3. Launch DCS and reproduce the issue.
4. Attach the resulting dcs.log file

What is your antivirus?

Do you have an antimalware installed?

Are you using a VPN?

autoexec.cfg

Here is the log file as requested.

 

I'm running the Windows Defender, no malware software.

 

Thanks for your help.

Thank you. You now have a few more lines at the end of your log:

That's interesting. You get "onNetConnect 14" where I get "onNetConnect 2". I have no idea what this code means but it could be important. I think we could use ED's support help on this one.

 

Please try the two following procedures:

1. Rename your "Saved Games\DCS.openbeta" folder into "DCS.openbeta_backup" (DCS will have no user mods and default settings). Check if mulmtiplayer is working.
2. Run a cleanup and repair. Check if multiplayer is working.

If none of them work, I suggest you open a support ticket, and tell them about this "14" code. It may be important.
