Smoky Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hi folks Weird issue after the latest patch... When I click to "Start Server" I get the server settings window. Normally there is a pulldown allowing me to choose "Internet" or "LAN". Now that table cell only shows a pulldown arrow, but no menu. When I click on the arrow icon the icon changes to show an "expanded" icon instead of a "closed" icon but no menu is revealed. I thought maybe the menu was rendering oddly and tried clicking around the screen. thinking I might "find" the menu option rendering in the background somewhere, but no dice. What could be causing this? What is the fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrecking Crew Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 That is weird. The pull down selections were replaced in v126 with a little yellow checkbox - check it for Internet, uncheck it for LAN. (I'm not in front of my flight machine so I can't look at it while I answer...)

Smoky Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 AH that may be it. on mine it still looks like a pulldown arrow. now that i know that i'm leaving it in what must be "checked" mode because my server now shows on the master list. thanks!

Cabbage Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I tried hosting a LAN gmae last night with my brother, both running off the same router. We couldn't see the game in the master list nor could we connect via IP. I did have the "advertise as public game" checkbox or whatever it is ticked. Does that essentially stop you being able to connect over LAN? We could both see other games in the master server list and we could both join to other servers with no problems. I tried moving the host ip into the DMZ on the router but that didn't work either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENO Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yes, if you have "public server" checked I don't think it'll work if you're LAN- at least that's the way it used to be. I couldn't connect to my own server if I looked under internet... I needed to look under LAN. If not then I'd recommend renaming your DCS folder in "saved games" and letting the game rebuild it. That has resolved some issues for people in the past- then you just transfer back over your non-server config related files into the new remade folder.
