[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.

Same here, I hope it's just the servers being too busy, due to the update everyone is doing now...

Same for me. Authorization fails. Error code 28 when pressing OK, error code 203. If I press OK, I can get into the game on DCS, without multiplayer.

Everyone affected by this issue, please try this:

  • Open file "Saved Games/DCS/Config/autoexec.cfg" (create the file if it does not exist)
  • Add the following line: 
    net.curl_connecttimeout = 120

Please report if this solved your issue (or not). Thanks.

Did anyone try to flush DNS?

If anyone needs to know how:

  • Press "Windows Start" button
  • Type "CMD" on your keyboard, you should see the app "Command Prompt" show up
  • On the right menu options select "Run as Administrator"
  • When the DOS type windows opens type: 
    ipconfig /flushdns

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.

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.

@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.
