Gebakkenkip Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I want to download dcs but all I get is an error message saying: "Servers are unable to complete your request. Please, try again later.". I've searched on the forums for this error and found 1 other person who got this, but the things in that forum didn't help me. I don't know why I get this error. Here is a vid of what happens. 2021-06-12_07-07-06_1 (1) (1).mkv Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) On C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\ there should be an autoupdate_log.txt file ... please attach it to your post to gather more clues. Also, check your firewall or antivirus logs, to make sure that they are not impeding access to ED's web servers.

Gebakkenkip Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 I don't use a VPN. But what does an SSL error mean exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Flappie Posted June 13, 2021 Solution Share Posted June 13, 2021 SSL is a way to authenticate a distant PC or a distant server. The most common SSL use is through HTTPS (S is for "secure"). HTTPS relies on SSL certificates, where HTTP relies on... nothing. Let's say you want to buy something from Amazon. This is how it works: when you browse to "https://amazon.com", your browser asks the Amazon server for an SSL certificate. If all goes well, your browser will display a lock icon next to the URL, which reads "verified by DigiCert Inc." (for instance). This means two things: 1/ your browser trusts DigiCert Inc., 2/ DigiCert Inc. told your browser the web server you're connected to is indeed a real Amazon server. Back to your DCS updater: it uses HTTPS as well, to ensure you get your DCS files from a real DCS server. Your log basically says: I connected to "https://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com" but I couldn't retrieve or interpret the SSL certificate. I cannot authenticate the server, I quit.

Gebakkenkip Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Yeah, the vid I took was yesterday morning, when I tried to search for help with my friend, so I send him that vid and used the same vid here. But I'll try to restart my router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
