solved Connection timed out

[Viciam1]

Hi guys

since last 2 days I am getting connection timed out whenever I join a multiplayer server. Never had this issue before. It happens about 5-10 mins into the game

any idea please thank you kindly how I can fix this

Hi. Please reproduce the issue, then attach your dcs.log file, from Saved Games/DCS.../Logs.

Hi Flappie,

Here is the attached DCS log file. I'm still having this issue whether I try it in normal mode or multithreading mode. Its so frustrating.

Thank you

Thank you.

Alas, I see no specific event leading to your disconnection.

One thing is for sure, your PC doesn't seem to initiate the disconnection, because when it happens, the disconnection message looks like this ("disconnected: 0"):

2023-04-11 21:20:07.771 INFO    ASYNCNET (Main): disconnected: 0 
2023-04-11 21:20:07.776 INFO    ASYNCNET (Main): disconnected from server
2023-04-11 21:20:07.778 INFO    ASYNCNET (Main): client has stopped

 

Maybe you can ask admins of the server you're trying to play on.

Hi flappie, It happens in any server.

4ya, ddcs or any online server. 

It never used to happen

[Flappie]

Try a DCS repair in slow mode.

[Viciam1]

Just to update you. I turned off my router and restarted it and dcs sems to be working okay now. 

[Flappie]

Thanks for letting us know.

[ST0RM]

Hoping to pinpoint my own Connection Timeouts. 
Can someone decipher my log, please? 
Right at the time I get the boot, I see a spike in my Ping at the disconnect time, but thats all I can understand.

Here's a guide: https://weareag.co.uk/docs/general/tips/what-to-do-if-your-error-log-returns-a-curl-error-28-connection-timed-out-error/

Try adding your DCS main path to your antivirus software exceptions list.

Two different servers last night and time outs and crashes . Not just me but others on comms saying same thing .

Multiplayer needs some love . 

[Major Anton]

Same issues as above, suddenly.

I've done the slow repair, flushed the DNS.

I have 150mb up 600mb download.

Error: Negative drag of payload?

 

 

Help, please.
