Game Crashes and cannot connect to multiplayer Servers, Loading takes forever

[Catfish_46]

Since the patch/Apache I having loading issues. Is anyone else including bogging down and grafix lag?

Hi, 

please include your dcs log or the crash zip folder created when you crash, it will have clues for us

you can find your logs in your saved games dcs log folder

Same problem. I will upload my DCS log when I get home.

Tried with different settings. Same thing. Adding the crash log as well as the DMP file for the same time stamp. The only time the game crashes is during the time I am trying to joing a multiplayer server. Everything else runs fine.

Please delete all unofficial mods, rename the folder C:\Users\btsul\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta in any name, and then run the DCS repair.

@maximovThank you. Sorry for the dumb question but is there an easy way to delete all the mods? I have installed them over the years and honestly not sure how to delete them all or where they would be at this point. Also, you say to rename the folder C:\Users\btsul\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta in ANY NAME. what exactly do you mean by this? Thanks. I dont mess with the sim much and I am just trying to avoid having to reinstall it all.

Ideally, you would use a Mod Manager to manage your mods, but in its absence you can simply delete the folder C:\Users\btsul\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods 

and run a DCS repair.

No need for that, just delete the Mods folder that I mentioned above… if you rename the dcs.openbeta folder you will reset all the sim configuration (the login credentials, graphics config, keybind controls, logbook, campaign status, etc) .. No need for that if your issue is just the user Mods that you have installed over time.

Thank you!

That worked. MP works again. Huge thanks.

@BIGNEWY asked you to provide your dcs.log to have more data on which to suggest possible causes, its hard to help when there is not enough data.
