resolved httpGET Message: Timeout Reached

[RastaPutin2.0]

Hi
Having an issue logging in.
It appears the client cannot retrieve the necessary login data from my DCS account.
I think this issue has been covered a while back on this thread

https://forum.dcs.world/topic/369453-dcs-launcher-error-after-latest-update/

and I've read through it, but as yet nothing has helped.

I get the following sequence of dialogs when trying to start the DCS client.

1. API Error Method: httpGET Message: Timeout Reached

 

2. Error Cose -28 Reason:Error: News List Loading error: Timeout was reached.

 

3. Warning you’re going to run DCS without login. Only free modules will be available in this mode.

 

4. The website is not available at the moment. Offline mode requires a saved password and a successful login to operate.

 

5. Authentication failed :

Multiplayer will not be available.

The following DLCs are not authorized and will be

disabled:

Persian Gulf

A-10A

Combined Arms

AJS37

F-15C

JF-17

Ka-50 Black Shark

Spitfire LF Mk. IX

Ka-50 Black Shark 3

SA342

NS430_Mi-8MT

MiG-21bis

Mi-24P

Mi-8MTV2

MiG-15bis Fagot

MiG-29

NS430

Su-25

Su-27

Su-33

Yak-52

Syria

6. A new one : Reason: TypeError: s.values.forEach is not a function


Does anyone know what the issue and solution is?

That won't cut it. You'll have to explain what you actually did or tried.

Have you already performed command: ipconfig /flushdns ?

Are these names properly recognized on your side?:

ping api.digitalcombatsimulator.com

ping digitalcombatsimulator.com

Have you tried changing your DNS server to ex. 8.8.8.8?

please attach your dcs log it may have more clues, 

have you ever manually edited your hosts list in windows?

@RastaPutin2.0 OK, you've gone through my post. Now take a look into BIGNEWY's post to move further.

After lots of tinkering and due to the insidious nature of the problem I decided to save what little sanity I have, cut my losses and reinstall.
My DCS has its own dedicated drive.
So I wiped it clean.
Deleted all registry references to ED and DCS
Renamed SavedGames
Reinstalled DCS + Modules 

Everything works fine now.

45 years SE tells me some major corruption was going on. Malicious or accidental I don't know.

Salute
