Hi, silverdevil! Thanks for the reply. I tried many times the last week on two of my home PCs. I reset my router, reset my OS network, tried [ipconfig /flushdns] command in cmd. The update server can be pinged with 340ms latency. The updater starts with below 20kb/s download speed, after maybe 5 minutes it slows down to below 1kb/s and then pops the error message. Anything else I may try? RTX 3070

kiss4luna Posted December 28, 2024 Author Posted December 28, 2024 it's 20+kb/s when it starts then slows down to below 1kb/s in just a few seconds. this has been happening since late November. i can't update or create new installation now. there must be something wrong with the server RTX 3070

The forums would be screaming if a large number of people were running into this. As Silverdevil said, it can happen on an occasional short term basis (i.e. on patch release) but not extended periods. I don't have much expertise in diagnosing that type of stuff, but I'd be looking at you internet provider and whether they are throttling DCS for some reason, or something with your anti-virus/firewall blocking things. 1

Thanks guys. Definitely not the problems from my PCs, my routers, or my settings. Yesterday it still downloaded at below 1kb/s then disconnected. Today it just updates normally like good old times. This one is my work PC in my work Place. But my two home PCs in my house still can't update DCS. I called my internet provider and waiting for their support. Edited December 31, 2024 by kiss4luna 1 RTX 3070
kiss4luna Posted January 8 Author Posted January 8 My final stats for this problem: 1. The updater will download the update information very slowly. 2. Download error message both for the updater and DCS UI. 3. Click the install or update button again, if the update information can be downloaded normally then it may be fine. 4. The download could be normal or could be wrong in the middle. This problem is very strange because I now can be sure it's nothing about my PC, my router, my network topology, my OS or software settings. Nothing else I or we can do I think. RTX 3070
kiss4luna Posted February 9 Author Posted February 9 (edited) I have to report, that this problem happens again in this week's update. This happened the first time in the 04.12.2024 update, and then 3 in a row all had this issue. The 24.12.2024 update normally works like before this(with the green line).
