I can't connect to DCS Master Server of ED

[HungaroJET]

I can't connect to DCS Master Server of ED, nor with a "virgin" install.

 

DCS crashed after i pushed 'Connect' button on MULTIPLAYER screen 'Login to DigitalCombatSimulator.com' :(

 

Iv got a short 'Connecting to master...' message and game crashed

 

no .crash file in LOG folder, only this in dcs.log:

00043.002 INFO NET: sent serverlist request

 

No server ?

or R U updating Master-server to 1.3.0 -for FC3 ? :smilewink:

If you had taken a quick look around forums you would have noticed in the bug sections (where this should have been posted) a lot of different threads all relating to this problem.

 

However, to keep this brief and not go into another long winded discussion on this matter, ED is aware of the problem, and has a solution in the works. It will not be out till the next patch so you must be patient. Keep trying to log in. Sometimes it will let you, other times not so much. It comes in spurts.

Me, too! I get past the Multiplayer log-in, but the servers' list is lean or blank and usually locked servers.

 

If there is a work-around, please let me know.

 

I installed the new updates to World 1.2.0, and my 2 pre-purchases of A-10C and P-51D both also 1.2.0 within the last 5 days. Sunday, Monday and today are the worst trying to connect to Multiplayer.

 

When the upper-echelon guys say, "Hey, get the latest and greatest!" , at least do not say it if it is not performing correctly.

 

For me:

=====

FC2 Multiplayer works for BS1, as does BS2 version 1.1.1.1 in DCS, as does A-10C version 1.1.1.1 in DCS, but as usual, except for FC2, the other servers are usually locked. I only play FC2 jets on the Stallturn server and I have not seen it for a week or more; I also entered Stallturn.com and separately its IP address with no luck in FC2.

 

I am not buying anything else new for World until Multiplayer works properly.

 

I realize World and its modules are in beta and a work in progress. I just hope you guys do better than Alan Jackson's experience in his song:

 

 

The 1.2.0 seems fine in Single Player.

 

I guess I'll go do carrier ops to FSX.

:helpsmilie:

 

yea this is an extremely crappy situation, as is 1.2.0 is basically useless (besides single player) by the time i get my mates together try and connect its like rolling dice if we can all get on, and once on the stability leaves a lot to be desired this is assuming that we actually get in (which is less then how many times we do not.)

 

i tried over 2 hours yesterday and finally gave up trying to :pilotfly:

 

worse yet there are some new people in my squadron that are just getting into DCS and this is really souring their experience (yes I'm aware this is BETA) but that doesn't always mean people will be like gee golly this game is great.

 

I also look at it like this, ED said there would be a fix coming soon in one of the threads and its now 9 days later and still no word on whats going on... also to whoever said use tunngle would you mind explaining how you got that working because it does not (more waste of time).

 

ultimately i love this game and want to :joystick: online, i am ok with honing skill offline but a lot of my m8's are going geez this really blows and it will be that much harder to get them to come play if this is all they have ever experienced with DCS and will probably make them reluctant to buy other modules. just food for thought for any ED mods.

 

I just hope that your actually actively trying to fix the problem and not just waiting to release flaming cliffs 3 to roll out the fix (if even then)

 

till then :music_whistling:

Oddly, I don't seem to have this problem often and certainly not as bad as many describe it. just lucky I guess....Go figure

[LFCChameleon_Silk]

It is a huge issue, and its nothing on my end... sitting in a DMZ so router is not issue, i always host games no problem.

 

you are really lucky and just connecting at the right time because it is definitely a known problem that is effecting every person.

 

on another note, Tunngle is not working to bypass issues and play LAN with friends but what about Hamachi? I've heard hamachi does work but i also heard Tunngle works and that left me cursing that posters ancestors!

 

anyone know? I'm sure i will try it out before someone posts that does know but figured i'd throw that out there because it could alleviate a lot of the headaches many of us are experiencing and allow us to fly with our friends while we await the next patch.

 

EDIT: should note that last night i flew with many online no problem but the problem is still there, just got lucky that it worked last night.

(Talking to myself again!)

 

I do better connecting with my 2 GeForce Nvidia cards in SLI and I notice in the Multiplayer World log-in screen I now display a vertical bar, that is a dynamic, SLI display, that moves as a increase/decrease movement as the SLI functions. This vertical SLI bar remains after log-in to the Master listings and as the server list populates and in game.

 

I also notice if I jump into the log-in screen Options for 15 seconds, then come back out to the log-in screen, I will usually get a Master server list quicker. And of course clicking New Search I will also now get a re-populated Master server list that may be additional available servers that were not there previously. But sometimes when I try to log-in, the Connect button just does not depress to click on; so I play around until it works, usually incorporating Windows Task Manager.

 

I kind of think DCS has reworked their Master server list space to function better since my previous message. Or is this problem due to the larger number of people trying to access the server list at a time? More people trying to access the list on weekends?

 

(The Stallturn server for FC2 is supposed to be up according to the username Moa, but I have not seen it for 2 weeks in FC2 or BS1, and I check daily. Is there a connection between the different products' Master servers that some servers are not showing up?)

is there anyway to login to the multiplayer server to check available ping without going through DCS gui?
