Master Server connection error?????

[Captain_P3te-r*]

What is this!?!?!

 

I have checked my internet multiple times, all other steam games run fine. My firewall is fine and I have also uninstalled Nvidia Experience as instructed in past discussions!

 

Why is this still happening and is this an issue for anyone else? 

 

I dont think my laptop installed the latest update either. This all happened after I saw the news of the new patch drop.

 

What can I do? please help!!

 

Thank you

Are you starting the game with the IL-2 application (.exe) or the launcher application (.exe)? I had a similar problem last year and apparently I had been using a shortcut to the IL-2 application. Using a shortcut to the launcher, then starting the game got the game to update.

I have been using the Steam app to launch it, as I have it through steam. When I go through the game files to launch it as Admin or just run it, I get to the login, but after typing in my details, it again says that there has been a temporary loss of connection to the master server. No idea what is going on.

 

Thank you for your response

Genuinely sorry mate. Wish I were smart enough to help you sort this out. A knowledgeable Steam user will probably help you.

I just bypassed it by doing this:

 

Game boots, get connection error message

Try connecting again, get error message

Log in offline, get error message

Try logging in again and get through

 

Not sure why that worked, but I tried going straight to offline and it simply got me in offline rather than giving me another chance to log in online.

Are you running any mods? I believe some mods are broken since the last update and can prevent the game from launching.

I had a few minutes last night when I got the same error message. I logged in off line mode for a minute too as Field-Ops mentioned. Restarted the program and everything was fine. It might have been an issue with the server.

hmm ok, I will give those a go thank you! I am not running mods so we will see. I did recently uninstall Mcafee because I dont want to pay for it. my firewall is lettingit through though. not sure if that would a reason

 

[busdriver]

Did you get this resolved?

[Captain_P3te-r*]

Sadly not, still suffering the issue. Downloaded Rise of Flight and CoD, both of them work fine so it is really odd

is this related to the fact that IL2 update servers only run a few days of the week?  WTF from their website:

Note that server is online for 72 hours per week only, from Friday to Monday (Moscow time). Please, make sure that you’re trying to login within the marked period.
