| Hello, I've been using Hyperlobby for several months now. It ran perfectly and I was able to connect to the servers just fine when my computer was running Windows 7. Now that I've upgraded to Windows 10, Hyperlobby and IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 work fine, but whenever I try to connect to a server, it says the connection has timed out. This happens on every single server I tried to connect to. I have reinstalled Hyperlobby, reinstalled IL-2 1946, checked the firewall, my internet connection - everything. Any help would be appreciated.

| Hi
 
 Try this, Open HL, enter /e in to the chat and hit enter. It will open notepad with HL configuration file. Then search for this section:
 
  	  | Code: |  	  | [IL-2 Sturmovik 1946] joinDelay=20
 clientRate=8000
 
 ;Determine the client source port. Useful when
 ;is more that one user behind the NAT router.
 ;Must be diferent for each user behind the
 ;same NAT router.
 localPort=21000
 
 ;This detecting correctIP address for systems
 ;with more that one network adapters
 ;Default is 1 (on)
 DetectLocalIP = 1
 
 ;Set to 1 when both server and client are
 ;behind a router using private network
 ;address and both are behind one public ip
 ;address
 loopback=0
 
 ;When is loopoback set to 1 here must be
 ;specified private ip address of the server
 ;behind a router
 loopbackip=
 
 | 
 
 and change
 DetectLocalIP = 1
 to
 DetectLocalIP = 0
 
 Save, restart HL and try over, maybe it help. Also you may try change localport value from 21000 to anything else like 21001 ...

| I have the game on Steam, so the game's directory is
 C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\IL 2 Sturmovik 1946
 
 I will try to edit the config file and see if that works, thanks both!

 Sometimes is better do clean install instead of upgrade existing windows instalation. My experience proven its better in 90% of cases
  . Backup data, download and burn W10 iso to DVD or USB. Then boot that media and do clean install, or go back to W7  |

| Thanks for all your help everyone, I have completed a clean reinstall of Windows 10 and this has fixed the problem for me! I can now connect to all the servers again.
