daiqan Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) [possible solution] www.reddit.com/r/dcsworld/comments/1itd5x8/launcher_error_after_latest_update/ on reddit is was suggested to do the following: - run notepad as admin - open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts - deposit 185.195.197.4 api.digitalcombatsimulator.com - type "ipconfig /flushdns" in the windows command line (search cmd in windows start) This worked for me but this is merely a workaround and I opened an ed support ticket so I'll keep you updated as soon as I receive news from them. [Edit] reinstalling the game and deleting the saved games folder didn't help either. When I start the launcher it fails to log in and after some time displays "bad connection". After some more time has passed the error "Launcher error. Code:-28 Message: Error: News List loading error: Timeout was reached" pops up. When I launch the game anyway it tries to login in again and then starts in offline mod. This never happened before, my internet connection is fine and it just started after the latest update today. 2025-02-19 18:35:25.126 ERROR ASYNCNET (2744): HTTP request lnch:getUpdates failed with error 28: Timeout was reached 2025-02-19 18:35:25.158 ERROR LAUNCHER (CrBrowserMain): GUI ERROR:["hasUpdate request fault",{"name":"API Error","code":-28,"message":"Timeout was reached","method":"hasUpdate","queryOptions":{"persistent":true,"parseJSON":true,"logQueries":true,"logResult":true},"stack":"API Error: Timeout was reached\n at onFailure (https://launcher/ui/assets/index-CGuOwTVl.js:4:1547)"}] 2025-02-19 18:35:55.140 ERROR ASYNCNET (2744): HTTP request lnch_1 failed with error 28: Timeout was reached 2025-02-19 18:35:55.156 ERROR LAUNCHER (CrBrowserMain): GUI ERROR:[{"name":"API Error","code":-28,"message":"Timeout was reached","method":"httpGET","queryParams":"master:en/export/requirements/","queryOptions":{"persistent":true,"parseJSON":true,"logQueries":true,"logResult":true},"stack":"API Error: Timeout was reached\n at onFailure (https://launcher/ui/assets/index-CGuOwTVl.js:4:1547)"}] 2025-02-19 18:36:25.153 ERROR ASYNCNET (2744): HTTP request getNewsList_en1 failed with error 28: Timeout was reached 2025-02-19 18:36:25.218 WARNING ASYNCNET (Main): Ignoring duplicate request to dcs:ping while one is already in flight. 2025-02-19 18:36:25.231 ERROR LAUNCHER (CrBrowserMain): GUI ERROR:["Fail to load","News",{"code":-28,"message":"News List loading error: Timeout was reached","stack":"Error: News List loading error: Timeout was reached\n at gm.loadedDataProcessing (https://launcher/ui/assets/index-CGuOwTVl.js:18:40389)\n at https://launcher/ui/assets/index-CGuOwTVl.js:16:65998"}] 2025-02-19 18:36:25.231 ERROR LAUNCHER (CrBrowserMain): GUI ERROR:["Unhandled error",{"message":{"code":-28}}] dcs.log Edited February 20 by daiqan 3

ED Team Solution Lord Vader Posted February 20 ED Team Solution Posted February 20 One last request, can you please change your IPv4 address to google's 8.8.8.8? Got to Windows "Network And Sharing Centre" Ethernet Status -> Properties Select IP protocol version 4 (or TCP/IPv4) Under "General", select "Use the following DNS server addresses:" Write: Preferred DNS Server: 8.8.8.8 Alternate DNS Server: 8.8.4.4 Don't worry, this will not affect your online connections. In fact this is considered a good "booster" in online connections for some users. But if it somehow does affect you, you can always revert back to "Obtain DNS server address automatically" in the same menu above. 1 5 Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
Jokeyfly Posted February 20 Posted February 20 So I can log in again and multiplayer works again. Great, thanks for your quick help. Should the setting be reversed later with the next update? Thanks.
ED Team Lord Vader Posted February 20 ED Team Posted February 20 @Jokeyfly If you are referring to the Google DNS, it's up to you to keep it or not. Like I said, some people use this DNS to boost their internet connection speed, so you may want to keep it. We're working on our side for a proper solution, nevertheless. 1 Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
Wavehopper Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Yup that's done it. Can now connect properly. Thanks for the help Vader. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC9G7AVfi68SovXCTCH-7fA
