PROTOCOL ERROR / STREAM ERROR / CONNECTION FAILED

[Pribs86]

What are these? Why are these? And how can we make them go away forever?

They have only ever happened in multiplayer for me. It was very spotty in the past, but this last update made the game unplayable in multiplayer. I join a server, startup up, take off, wheels up, then the game crashes. Of the 9-10 servers I've flown tonight, 100% of them have crashed and all with the same error and it makes the game unplayable.

Edit: I would attach the track files, but for some reason I can only add 1.8MB and every file is larger than that...

 

Thank you for your time and consideration in advance.

Was going to add track files but can't - too large

hello. this issue has been around for a long time. it does not seem to be completely solved. some people have send error went away after a complete reload of their computers. which i feel is like getting rid of ants with an a-bomb. but it indicates the issue originates at the client computer. 

have you tried to connect to the servers with IP instead of picking from the menu a name? also check your DNS and IPv6 on the client computer.
