Some texture mods cause server list to not load, even ones that do not have IC

[Nealius]

Some texture mods, like Texac's improved F-16 textures cause the server list to fail to load any servers at all, even ones that do not have IC enabled, even though the IC shield is showing green that IC has passed. As soon as I remove his texture mod the server list populates again.

So basically it's not a DCS problem, but it's something to keep in mind when people face multiplayer list issue: as usual, first things remove any MOD and test it again  

Maybe just try to add a comment to the download link to reach out the author of the mod, if he can do something about it, or at least we do have a "warning" even in the download page.

Regardless, texture mods should not break the server list from populating.

I also appear to be the only one with this issue, as no one else can reproduce. It's intermittent for me as well. 

I also grow tired of the scapegoating of mods over any and every issue instead of considering that maybe, just maybe, there's a problem with the base software. Particularly when the mod is made by someone who does so well at them their mods have been incorporated into DCS itself at times.

How can be a problem of DCS itself if it works without MOD?

DCS probably is not the reliable super stable software out of the door, but if stop works with MOD and starts again to behave as expected without that MOD, it's clear it's a problem of the MOD, not of the software itself.
