Few problems that i have solved based from wrong installation of the patch. When the game starting, display version under startup progress bar. Be sure that you have downloadet and installed latest IL2 patch from http://www.il2sturmovik.com . In some cases is this problem caused by network configuration.

Solution for users behind NAT router/firewall:
The game using always UDP port 21000 (hyperlobby force this port). You must setup your router/firewall to enable this port in both direction. Some NAT routers have options DMZ host to expose one ip from internal network directly to the internet. Use this option when you want host game server. Edit the hlpro.ini file and in section [IL-2 Sturmovik (full version)] change value DetectLocalIP=1 to DetectLocalIP=0.

Solution for users with multiple network adapters:
Hl always automaticaly detect right IP address of network adapter that are connected in to internet, and force the game to use this adapter. This option should be turned off by hlpro.ini file. Edit the hlpro.ini file and in section [IL-2 Sturmovik (full version)] change value DetectLocalIP=1 to DetectLocalIP=0.
Then open il2setup application and select right network adapter by network tab.

Solution for users with a software firewall:
The game using always UDP port 21000 (hyperlobby force this port).
