BlackCatActual Posted August 31 Posted August 31 (edited) I live in the Philippines and unless I use a VPN to change my country, I am unable to update DCS. The update keeps timing out. When I activate my vpn and change my country to somewhere like New Zealand, the updates go off without a hitch. That's well and good on my main computer but I am trying to set up a dedicated server where my squadron and I can play missions together. On that computer, I do not have any VPN software enabled and thus cannot update. Feels like discrimination. Edited August 31 by BlackCatActual

Feels like discrimination. hello this is likely a problem with your ISP or your own network equipment. it is not a system wide issue with DCS updates. the VPN cleans up DNS issues. it probably means your locally provided DNS is not the best. no offense. it happens to many users from all over. too many to count. i suggest you post your latest autoupdate_log.txt found in the DCS install folder. also test using ping and nslookup of cdn.digitalcombatsimulator.com try disabling your antivirus and firewall, checking your Windows hosts file for any incorrect entries, ensuring your computer's date, time, and time zone are correct. 1 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.
