You need to fill in the login/password fields in the SDS file. It can't be the same account you use for playing (unless you won't be playing), you will have to request a DServer account, which you can get for free.

We have got a second account, but still a problem.

Your login does not look right. I think it should be the email address coupled to the account, not the forum/in-game name.

[CzechElectricMan]

Yeah it helped. And another question, how we could join that server, please?

Still not working

It's telling you that it could not find the mission file. It's pretty difficult for me to tell you how to correct the path, since I don't know the layout of your hard-disk. All I can say is that if you are running the DServer.exe located in <somepath>/bin/game, then the mission file should be located under <somepath>/data/multiplayer.

 

Also, I notice that <somepath> in your case appear to be under "E:\Hry (Steam...". By having spaces, commas and parens in your path, you are asking for trouble. If I were you, I would try copying the game to some location with a simple path, e.g. E:\il2server\... and see if that helps. In any case, before you try that, make sure the path to the mission file you set is correct.

Thank you very much Coconut for your help.
But we still have got a problem.


CzechEletricMan created the server, but I can´t find our server in multiplayer.

Can you help us please?

At the point you are showing in the latest screenshot, the server has not loaded any mission yet, and it's idle. You need to let it load a mission first before it becomes accessible.

 

When you reach that point, in order for players to be able to contact the server, you must forward the ports 28000 (TCP + UDP) and 28100 (TCP) to the server.

Thank you very much, server is runnig all right. But my friend cannot join it  #10019: Unable to connect game server.

[coconut]

Have you done that part?

So I now have the exact same problem as the guy who opened this thread. And I don't know why. Directory is just simple /dogfight/, nothing fancy. Everything worked a month or two back just fine, now something is screwed up. My screens match his word for word.

[coconut]

They had a number of problems in this thread. Which one do you have, the last one #10019: Unable to connect game server.?

Basically yes, #10019 comes up. Regardless of which mission is chosen. So it's gotta be something regarding my set up. My computer is wired in to the router. It always has been. Not sure what change has occurred.

check the IP of your computer on the network card tabs 

Is it automaticly choosen or did you set up a static IP yourself on your network card ?

 

then crosscheck the IP you wrote in your SDS in Server IP section.

You must also check the external checkbox. It must be checked

Thanks!

All fixed. With your response I remembered that when switching Internet providers last month I ended up with one router connected to another router to increase the number of outputs. Switching cables around resolved the issue.

you're welcome !

Happy to have helped you to sort that out
