Repeated online issues preventing start

[JediMaster]

I regularly get a [2] wget: unable to resolve host address s3.il2korea.com when I open the launcher, and clicking restart just sends it in a loop of asking me over and over. Sometimes I have to wait hours before it will work.

I just updated it again yesterday with the latest small patch, but the launcher is no better.

I tried starting Il2series.exe directly but instead have a #10030 Invalid Master-Server response if I click login, and offline just tells me "new version available" and won't load.

This is a game-breaking issue as I can't get in on a regular basis. It has been this way since the first day of early access and nothing has changed.

Ok, for anyone else who experiences this issue, it's the bane of my existence--a DNS issue. My PC wasn't resolving an IP for s3.il2korea.com, so I couldn't do anything.

The fix for me was something I don't like to do because it could backfire later--manually editing my hosts file.

I had to add the line 95.181.182.182    s3.il2korea.com at the end of my hosts file and suddenly voila! the launcher found another patch and updated, and then the game launched and logged in without asking.
