(probably solved) Cannot connect to any multiplayer server anymore

[[DBS]El_Marta]

After the update and purchase of the new early access modules I cannot connect to any multiplayer server anymore.

 

Update: I managed to get in a server now after I waited a bit longer. No file transfer error anymore. Maybe just network overload after the update.

I wonder if there is a connection? ?

Same for me. Timeout while loading the mission files, it seems. Please fix ASAP!

I'm still trying to get past the login splash screen without crashing to desktop. Any ideas? Seeing that ya'll are at least making it past the login from the sounds of it.

Did you check wether your firewall is asking for a permission in the background?

Yes, I've allowed access and followed everything in the FAQs I've found regarding antivirus, read only permissions, port forwarding router, firewall exceptions, windows defender app allowances, running as admin, changing permissions of launcher and game executable to admin via properties, etc... to no avail. I submitted a support ticket via the IL-2 website yesterday, but haven't heard back yet.

 

Edit: Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling four times to different drives/directories which didn't change anything.

Having the same problem here, too. Can't get a friend to join my server.

 

I fixed it on my end. The 28100 port for mission downloading had to be opened.
