Connection to master server - failed

[BluBear]

 

Hi gents, has anyone else had problems with this?
I've posted on the official forum as well where I go into a little more detail... https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/27136-connection-master-server/?p=567923

I'm getting to the point of asking for a refund.

Do you use the launcher or  exe ? best to use exe 

( mine is found here "C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\game\Il-2.exe" )

One thing to try is to put the exe and master server address in the exceptions list for your firewall

Uninstall reinstall?

I launch the game from the splash screen with the big red play button (i'm guessing that's the launcher?) and il-2.exe is already on my exceptions list.
I'll try straight from the latter exe.

...refund? Hmmm, maybe as a last resort.
I'm just baffled as to why it's chosen to stop working after last time.

 

Thanks chaps

One suggestion: right click Il-2.exe, run as administrator (?)

This worked!

Also, just launching from the lL-2.exe normally works too.

Thanks chaps.

Glad to see you got this sorted BluBear.    I really like this game but sometimes.........

Fitted a gtx970 this morning.  For some reason BoS decided to revert to all the stock settings for....everything.  i mean...wtf?
