Launcher not downloading

[KillAE]

HI yall. I'm based in germany with a decent internet connection and cannot download the game currently. It either freezes after a few percent downloaded or doesn't start the download at all. Tried reinstalling the launcher, disabling Windows Defender, starting the launcher as an admin and also switching the "download source" via the menu on the top right. Right now it is stuck at 5% "preparing". Gave it some time but doesn't change anything. PC specs are Win 11, 5800x3D, 9070xt, 64GB DDR4. Other games are working just fine including IL2 GB. Wanted so hard to believe in a smooth launch 😕

habe das selbe problem , wohne auch in Deutschland. Versuche den dns server zu wechseln. Gehe über 1.1.1.1.  8.8.8.8 oder 8.8.4.4. rein. Bei mir hatt es nichts gebracht, aber der Support hat es mir geraten.

Nothing more happens to me either. Mehr passiert bei mir auch nicht.

I changed the DNS server in the router (tp-link); instead of 0.0.0.0  entered 1.1.1.1, restarted and now it works.

I'm having the same problem now? 

Do you have a fix?

@Warjunkie_VR Mega gut, danke für den Tipp! 🤩

It now works flawlessly! For anyone wondering, i just changed the DNS server for the IP4 protocol and did not touch the settings above. Here is a quick instruction how to navigate there:

1. Open your Start menu and type Control Panel.
2. Go to Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings.
3. Right-click your active connection (like Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and select Properties.
4. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and hit Properties.
5. Select Use the following DNS server addresses.
6. Type in your preferred DNS addresses (e.g. (1.1.1.1))
