danilop Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) [sOLVED] While the computer is offline, "Checking for updates..." popup is displayed, and nothing happens. It just hang there untill I cancel it. Basically it won't start offline via the updater. And when I switch the internet connection on again, the same popup is displayed for about 12 seconds, before DCS finaly start. It starts perfectly directly via Launcher.exe, regardless of network connection status. Reinstalled DCS and all the modules (1.2.7 clean install from the website, I've deleted everything from Program Files/Eagle Dynamics folder before installation) - it is the same. The DCS itself runs fine, when it manages to start. Also while reinstalling the modules I've noticed that it checks for updates for unusual long amount of time and constantly downloading the same 1.8 MB file before each module download starts. My connection is stable 10 mbits one. P.S. No 3rd party antivirus or firewall (Microsoft Security Essentials and Firewall only in the background - it's the same regardless of the operational status - on or off). EDIT: please move the thread to Bugs and Problems section. Sorry! Edited January 28, 2014 by danilop

danilop Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 1.8 MB file was "Downloading version info ..."
Mojeaux Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Up dater hang while trying to start single player This is NOT good... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
danilop Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) The same behavior is manifested while trying to download training videos. Basically, every time that updater is needed, it's very slow to check for updates. The same 1.8Mb "Downloading version info ..." file is downloaded again before wanted download starts. It is strange that updater is now checking for updates every time when DCS is started via desktop shortcut (and is very, very sluggish in doing so), earlier it was once in 24 hrs ...

danilop Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 UPDATE: After some troubleshooting, I finally managed to find the reason for slow start (while online) issue. I've disabled Microsoft Virtual WiFi Adapter (link on how to this here) Now everything is quick and fast again while online, however when offline the problem is still there - DCS doesn't start at all (it's possible only via launcher.exe). Updater is definitely having some network issues on Win 7 - everything was extremely smooth in 1.2.6 and earlier on the same machine.
