IVC stopped connecting all of a sudden
-
Hello Devs,
I used to fly MP with no issues, and after having windows update I wasn’t able to connect to any Falcon BMS server, I figured out that it’s a firewall security issue, so I disabled both windows firewall and windows defender, but nothing happened, then added new inbound and outbound rules for both BMS and IVC and right after, BMS is connecting to other servers but IVC is not.
I made a clean installation for both windows and BMS ( to get rid of all of the unnecessary registry keys ) with no luck, both BMS and IVC are unable to connect to any server, I then tried to connect through another router with different IP and with all of the requested ports forwarded, and still not able to connect (while others can connect through the same router).
Now with both windows firewall and windows defender disabled, I cannot accuse the router of blocking my connection it’s something within my system but I just can’t figure out.
Need your help.

Windows 10? If so, which version?
If it’s a clean install and an antivirus hasn’t deleted the IVC Client.exe (you’ve ruled that out) the usual cause of IVC problems is incorrect port forwarding on your router. If you were able to connect before the Windows Update then that probably isn’t the issue, but let’s rule it out anyway. Screenshots of your port forwarding page from your router would help. Remember IVC needs ports 9987…9989 UDP only.
If it’s another Windows 10 Update own-goal I’m sure someone else beta testing Windows 10 for Microsoft will be able to suggest a cure.

I had the same problem. Windows defender detected the IVC client.exe (x64) like a virus and deleted it. Probably you don’t have the IVC client.exe any more. You will have to get the exe application again (you don’t have to reinstall BMS for that) but first, disable Windows defender. Then add a scan exception and enable Windows defender again. I hope this will help

Thanks for the input man …
I got my windows defender disabled, and made an exception for BMS folder and files including the IVC… -

I already disabled the windows defender and also made an exception rule for falcon BMS folder and files, see attached.

Check if there is the IVC client.exe in this directory C:\Falcon BMS 4.34\Bin\x64\IVC. If not download it from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_81NdvYuT328W0zHOMkXdVrVhQRfO_h0/view?usp=sharing but before disable completely Windows Defender

Reupload your screenshots. We can’t see them.

IVC is already there…
And now the problem is not only IVC, even the game is not connecting to any server ️ -

Another thing you may try is not to use the numpad for typing the IP addresses at comms in BMS. Use the numbers under the function numbers (F1, F2, etc)

If it’s affecting the game as well can you check that the port forwarding is forwarding to the correct internal IP address for your flight PC. I wonder if the internal IP address has changed, so the data is not being forwarded to the correct IP address.

Didn’t work

I’m wondering if any of you guys is running Windows 10 build 1809 cuz it’s probably system issue, with that build windows made some modifications to the Windows Defender, I’m waiting for Windows to release their fix patch to be able to update to Build 1903…
It’s the last step before I commit suicide :frusty:
