So I'm not seeing any servers in the multiplayer server list. Saw the other post and tried connecting by IP and it didn't work, just says "address unavailable". Also tried renaming the saved games/dcs folder as described, also didn't work. Really don't want to go through dcs repair as last poster said it didn't fix the problem and it takes forever to run. Any ideas?

Ok, nvm, I did a computer restart and it still didn't show any servers but it let me connect through IP address. Logged out of the server and the list works again. /shrug. Sorry to bother!

Hope it's ok to leave this post up? Just in case others have this issue. Maybe it'll help.

I'm at the same stage.   Nothing in the list.  Trying out the IP bit.   I was on this afternoon and was disconnected via power outage.  Checked updates.  All good.

All the connect to IP does is lock up the game.

Hi all,

I am getting to the end of my rope with this issue. I am on openbeta and always have the latest update (at the time of writing it is 2.9 and change). I do not always get a totally blank mp server list. Usually, when I boot DCS and go into mp I get c. 25-29 servers. Although I haven't recorded the servers they are, I think they are from a cache that is chucking these server names, details etc into the UI. I think this because if I double click, or select and JOIN, I always get a dialogue, after some time, that tells me 'Server offline'. On occasion it will crash DCS but this has been a couple/three times.

After the initial population of the mp server UI, if I then say turn off VPN and refresh, all the server details will vanish to be replace with a blank mp server UI.

I have tried VPN off/on, VPN without ad tracker, with it. If there is a button/switch in sw, I have pushed it, clicked it, slid it etc, etc. I am now getting a bit brassed off with the situation. Apart from the fact that I simply can't join mp servers, I was trying to get better and elevate myself from expert at crashing to at least 'Generally $h!t as a sim pilot but has some good points' by joining a server that, God bless them, does real training for those that need that, and also even those beyond hope, like me 😉 I tried to join the server to join the training session but to no avail. It is beyond frustrating.

If anyone has any knowledge or experience of what this could be and even just a pointer in the right direction, I'd be very grateful to you.

All the best to everyone. Enjoy your flying...but more than that, enjoy flinging about virtual HW at each other 😉

Cheers,

PS balls, I totally forgot to mention this. I have, on occasion, without doing anything other than booting DCS, going to mp, seeing a wall of servers, been able to click and enter a server. This has happened twice in the past 6/8 weeks ish. As I say, I have done nothing, that I am aware of, to 'change' anything, but on these 2 occasions it just....worked 🤷‍♂️

I don't know if this is a significant 'Ah-ha!' moment for you clever peeps in the DCS world, but I thought I should mention it. Ta :thumbsup:
