Ok this is strange I could log in to begin with but now I cant

[Kill3rCat]

Using website version. Disabled my AV and Firewall, still couldn't log in.

 

'#1: No connection with authorization server.

#2: Your connection to Master-Server was temporarily lost. Check your internet connection.'

 

[katdog5]

Im happy to report once you guys  get in there its amazeballs. 

[Kill3rCat]

I am trying to play with my friends, who are all using the Steam version and have no trouble logging in whatsoever. This issue only seems to affect some people.

 

I have:

 - i7 6700k @ 4.4GHz

 - GTX 1080 Ti

 - 16GB DDR4

 - Windows 10 x64

 

I live in the UK and have Virgin Media as my ISP.

Are you using VR?  If so, how are you getting on reading the text in game?

Update has made my TrackIR roll inputs go inverted when looking past 90 degrees in either direction. Not really playable anymore with TrackIR.  I checked in CloD and 1946, and TrackIR works fine there.

Ok I started to get trouble login in. I started it using the exe (but the same short cut I made before this version) and it let me log in on the second or third time I pressed enter. I think it just might be due to the large volume of people playing atm.

[Jason_Williams]

I don't have an answer guys. Make sure you have our .exe white listed on any firewall or anti-virus. 

 

There just seems to be a few of you having issues. We see no obvious cause to keep you from logging in.

[Lubos]

I can finally connect now!

[Adj]

Thanks for this update,  Jason, the dev team and all of the community contributors.

The work to achieve this is phenomenal.  

So much to digest; I love the rain effects and the increased view. 

[1.JaVA_KEBEN]

Java players inthe Netherlands  cant login , webside version . in the begin no problems with log in..  only one member with the steam version is in the game

[Kill3rCat]

Still can't connect. The executable and launcher are already allowed through Firewall and whitelisted by all of my AV.

 

Tried everything, even disabled all of my antivirus and my firewall.

 

Nvm, finally, after over an hour, it's finally let me log in....

[Jason_Williams]

If you could login earlier today after the update and not now, that probably means too much traffic or something. If you could NEVER login after the update perhaps a firewall or anti-virus is blocking you. If you have another computer, try installing there to test and see if you can get in. 

 

Again, we no clear answer on our end. Everything shows green and functioning.

 

Again post if you are on Steam or website. You guys gotta help us out here. We show no obvious problem.

I'm not a TrackIR guru by any stretch. Are you using the same profile for CLoD and 1946? I use Requiem's Jun 2014 profile with the Exclusive box checked. I've not had any problems during testing.

 

[Jason_Williams]

Any login issue go here. All such posts will be moved here. Keep this thread clear for other comments.

Sorry if someone has mentioned this but flying very low over a lake under a clear sky, the prop picked up water and created water drops on my wind shield. I did not expect that. Very cool. Gotta go fly in a rain storm now.

Mission resaver was not included in the update it seems. resaver.exe and missionmanager.dll in bin/resaver are still from a year ago on my PC. Not surprisingly, the msnbin files it generates cannot be loaded by DServer. That's a big issue for my dynamic campaign system. I hope the devs will provide an updated version in a hotfix, because without it players will have to load the textual .mission file instead and wait a few long minutes before they can join a session.

[GustavoGermano]

Thank you so much for all your efforts, for the whole team and congratulations for the work!

Yes, I am using the exact same profile for all 3 games. I didn't change any settings either for TrackIR previous to the update. I wish I could roll back installation of BoX to take a video of it and prove that it is something in V3.0 that has caused the problem.

Okay already......I get it, it looks fantastic. 

Anybody notice any performance hit? 

Yes, same here. The first thing I did was trying to run a quick mission and I thought, "wow, it's still running smooth as silk", but after testing the new planes, new rain effects, etc, I started a carrer in Kuban map. Well, I must say the new carrer mode is superb, but the first mission was almost unplayable as SAS_Storebror said. We were at least 30-40 planes at the same time. I've never had any performance issue and, although I'm sure the new missions are most accurately historical, and the campaign mode is much better than the old one, in the few missions I've flown today (3 days/ 6 missions) I believe the are too many planes at the same time in the same place, imho. Huge fps drop. Anyone else has noticed? The rest of the new update I think is simply great. Thanks team!

Just make a new profile for Sturmovik. Doesn't take long. I don't see anyone else complaining about this and I have had no problems with my TrackIR profiles. We also didn't make any changes to how TrackIR works. Something just went amiss. It happens.

You can set the activity at the front line to have less units.

I had the login problem earlier (No Connection to Master Server).

 

For me the problem was caused by anti-virus programme (Kaspersky) automatically changing access permissions. I had to go in to Application Control Settings in Kaspersky and switch application from 'Restricted' status where it had been put because of the new changes back to 'Trusted'.

 

This happened 3 times - for to start the main  il-2 Sturmovik .exe, then later the restarter.exe, then once again for BOS.LogParser.Offline.

 

In each case changing the setting in AV allowed me to access the game again.

 

May be worth diving into your AV programmes here for those having issues.

 

EDIT: I'm using the website version

I am happy as a pig in the mud with this! thanks guys! Now to earn me a bunch of hero-of-the-soviet-union medals :D

[6./ZG26_Custard]

For those having problems with Steam you could try this? In the first instance I launched the game using Han's recommendation.Close steam down and launch the game by clicking on il2 exe from 

\<IL-2 game folder>\bin\game\Il-2.exe

 

if you managed to get into the game this way quit. Relaunch steam and try and connect via steam. This worked for me. Hope this helps.

 

Before trying this I couldn't connect to the master server or play offline.

Someone else noted the same problem in the troubleshooting section of the forums. I'm rendering a video of what happened. I never modified my profiles and the same profile works perfect in CloD and it worked perfect previous the the 3.0 update.

[Lubos]

There are now some weird visual artifacts I noticed on the water when you quickly look there with the camera. These artifacts always quickly disappear, it looks like a strange pop in issue.

Also other issues that I noticed:

-can't see number of players on each side in the scoreboard in multiplayer

-sorting server browser by number of players doesn't work

-opening the scoreboard in multiplayer takes a very long time and keeping the scoreboard open causes significant freezing of the game

 

Edit: I now noticed that similar pop in happens on the terrain too, like the game loads higher quality textures when you look somewhere, but it happens too late and looks pretty bad.

Check your Camera settings in the game. Those might have been rest or changed affecting TrackIR speeds.

A big thank you to all of you fellas. A big thank you to all who play and support this game and a big thank you to the creators. This is a jewel!

[LuftManu]

Just flown a little, it is fantastic!

The rain efects, clouds and Viewdistance works well and the Campaign mode is superb. What an amazing update and Sim. The SP mode will live on!

Reset them all to default. Tried a vanilla Steam install vs a Standalone install of 3.0. Same problem with both. Tried making a fresh TrackIR profile, with both TrueView on and TrueView off as this in the past could affect it. Nothing is fixing it. 3.0 is causing an inversion of TrackIR input.

 

Uploading video now to demonstrate what is happening and it shows the exact same profile working in CloD perfectly, while BoS it goes crazy.

Please guys how to enable subtitles for radio transmissions? Pressing H didn´t help

Don't care about CLOD. Just make a new profile then show me it's broken. I have no other suggestions.

Everything works perfectely here
Very cool update, thanks for the hard work!

The career mode seems to be awesome, flew two missions so far and had a blast. Finally a good SP campaign for the game. Well done!

Everything is amazing!

Except, I had to set clouds to lowest quality for getting decent frame rates in VR and like that it is pretty nasty on the eyes... especially when you have planes between you and the clouds, you get pretty nasty blurry blobs. Wished there were a "no clouds" setting for SP, cause now I have to chose my poison in low fps or eyestrain. Without clouds I have pretty good fps.

If a TIR axis is inverted in game why don't you just invert it in TIR. Not perfect but it will work in 1 sec and u will not notice any difference.

The problem above is not too problematic. It takes about one minute to load a mission on the Stalingrad map, which is bearable.

 

However, the following issues are currently show-stoppers:

- Mission length in the statistics says there's 55 minutes left, but the mission was just started and set to last 3h.

- I have locked the loadouts in my server settings file, and let the mods unconstrained. However, in the game, must loadouts are locked.

 I dont know if this is on purpose or not but DED Normals mission length has halved.

When is Kuban going to be released on Steam then? Its not there now.

I'm just going on a note I saw from the developers but there was some technical issue so that for the present BoK wasn't going to be sold on Steam (if I recall correctly) for now and there wasn't a projection when it would be sold there.  I hope I'm remembering what I read correctly.

[Melkor_87]

Other than lower FPS, single player works fantastic, and I love the new features. However, when it comes to multiplayer  I can't seem to stay connected to any server (once I finally get connected to any server) for any longer than 5 minutes before losing connection.
