Connection interrupted cannot connect to any server?

[Dudester22]

I just logged on tonight after playing last night without a hitch and now I get this message every time I try to join a server. "Connection interrupted." My internet is working fine and everything worked last night. So what's the problem? Thanks!

[ShuRugal]

there was an update released. did you install it? could be version conflict

Why don't they tell us when an update is released anymore? And what's it suppose to fix because I cannot see it anywhere in these forums?

Two small fixes which probably won't effect most people.

 

I doubt it would be the cause of the error though. Normally the connection interrupted message means you're banned/blocked (by SLmod et al.) or possibly the file integrity checking has detected a difference in the files on your computer vs. the server (but I think that gives a different message?).

[Dudester22]

Banned? that's probably it then. I joined a weapons training server which I thought meant no team killing, but obviously not. I started up my A10C, and of I went to pepper some ground targets. When I reached my targets, some idiot, in another A10C, decided to use me as target practice instead of the ground targets. I asked if an admin was about and got no reply, but I did see he was in the lobby. I told the guy who shot me down that I didn't start up the A10C, and go all that way just for him to be a jerk and shoot me down. Now it looks like I'm banned lol. I guess the admin just got added to my jerk list, or are we supposed to target each other on weapons training?

Well, if you're supposed to shoot each other down then SLMOD would need to be turned off- or at least that function and I highly doubt that's the point. The guy who shot you down was a douche- you were likely in the right.

 

The server is ALWAYS going to show in the room as a spectator- there's no way around it... so just because there's a name there doesn't mean anyone is monitoring.

 

 

 

Further to that, if SLMOD did kick you for some reason the admin / server owner probably has no idea so to label him as a jerk just because the software he NEEDS to have in place because of @sssclowns like the jagoff who shot you down in unfair and unjustified.

 

I'm more inclined to say it's a version mismatch.

 

Anyway, my suggestion is to update. If that doesn't fix it, rename your saved games / dcs folder to dcs1- and restart the game. Re-enter your credentials etc and see if that helps...

 

Wonder if your IP changed or something and the original network settings aren't working anymore.

 

Report back. We'll get you sorted out one way or the other.

Same problem here... Yesterday evening (GMT+1) everything was fine. Now I can't get in any server.

 

EDIT: Deleted the saved games DCS folder but still no effect. Roughly 75% of all public servers give me "connection interrupted". Is there a debug log file of any kind that can show me some useful info besides a generic error message?

 

EDIT2: Changed my public IP to rule out any conflicts, didn't help either.

The game does generate logfiles in ..\Saved Games\DCS\Logs.

This is a clean log file. Started the client, immediately went to multiplayer and selected one of the servers giving me the issue since 2 days.

I just logged on tonight after playing last night without a hitch and now I get this message every time I try to join a server. "Connection interrupted." My internet is working fine and everything worked last night. So what's the problem? Thanks!

Have you tried a repair of DCS?

I'd highly recommend that first of all.

 

Also another avenue you could try is to see if you're inline with the default server integrity check.

When you make a repair or update it just checks the original files and overwrites to see which are different. If you have files which are not originally part of the make up like for example [a copy of an original file named something else], [a notepad file with some info you made] or a [picture of your Grans cat], just examples, then these will stay in and won't get deleted. So when you come to join a server and it checks a whole folder if its contents don't match the servers exactly and you have less or more files then you fail integrity.

 

There are two default integrity checks; a folder and a single file.

These are "Config/Weapons" folder and "Scripts/compile.lua" file. The file will get updated with a repair or update but the folder will only update what was in originally.

 

To test this put a _ in front of the 'weapons' folder located in C:\[Program Files]\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\

so it look like this _Weapons.

Now run a repair and this whole folder should be rebuilt but you'll still have your backup in case of any problems.

[El Hadji]

Had the same problem. I deleted the network.cfg file in ..\DCS World\Config\ folder and then rebooted. Worked after that. My buddy also had issues after the last update and his solution was to remove his firewall exception for DCS, reboot and then put a new exception in.

[JayPee]

I don't know about you guys but for me at least the problem solved itself for all servers. I'm guessing a temporary version mismatch with the latest update...
