Over the last few days I have been facing some issues accessing the online service within the game. The game acts as if there would not be any internet connection at all, even though nothing seems wrong with my internet configuration as I am not facing issues elsewhere, only in this game. When this started occuring I figured it was a temporary issue, but when it's still present three or so days later I am starting to wonder what this may be about.
When launching the game I recieve the following in game.log.txt:
Code: Select all
[net] SOCK ERRO: getaddinfo('news.eut2.online.scssoft.com','80') ver 0 type 1 proto 6 failed 0x00002afa

- Clean, unmodded and modded profiles all produce the same issue. Worth to add is that neither the news nor the DLC-browser shows any content, they are just black as if there would be no connection to the internet.
- I always run the game through Steam. However I am also always logged out from the friends and community-features - these issues persist wether I am online or offline here, and I have never hade issues with this previously. The actual Steam client is always in online mode however.
- Disabling the firewall makes no difference. Other than these issues my internet connection is fully operational and working without problems.
- Pinging and tracerouting worldoftrucks.com always ends up in a timeout - however I suspect this is because the site uses a ping blocker, as a completely different computer on another network with another ISP is also timing out on ping and traceroute commands. I suspect this is not the culprit however as through a browser I can access World of Trucks and its features without issues.
Now, these issues are in fact coinciding with me adding some new DLC for the first time in a while, namely Iberia and some trailer DLCs. This time around I did not recieve any verification upon game launch that I had added new official content, which I seem to remember happened last time I did. The game update to 1.40.4.0 happened roughly at the same time too. If I remember correctly I bought and installed the DLC but did not launch the game until the next day when I suspect the game was updated aswell.
As far as I can work out, this does feel like a local issue even though there is no issue with my internet connection. The only guess I really have is that the game has been unable to verify the new content and has became stuck in this phase between an update. Perhaps there is some piracy-block feature thinking it has been pirated and preventing access to any and all online services due to the new official conent not beeing verified correctly.
Has anyone had similar issues or having these now? Cheers.
