Morgan Davies Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:20 PM Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:20 PM Whenever I loadup VRC now, it shows 0 servers downloaded to the server.txt file. I have tried restarting VRC and reinstalling VRC to no avail. I tried disabling windows defender, thinking anti virus might be interfering, but that was not the case. It was working fine last Saturday for an event that I was working. Not sure if this is a network issue or if I am missing something.

Ayler Cruz Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:27 PM Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:27 PM Glad to hear I am not the only person getting this right now. It worked fine last night. ControllerVirtual Jacksonville ARTCCVATUSA - VATSIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustavo Agostinho Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:33 PM Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:33 PM I am having this issue today. I keep replacing the server file with one I had made a copy of and it is still not working. Can't seem to connect to the network at all.

Morgan Davies Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:36 PM Author Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:36 PM So looks like it may be a network issue. Will wait for an official response though to be sure. ControllerVirtual Houston ARTCCVATUSA - VATSIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustavo Agostinho Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:37 PM Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:37 PM Hopefully it is. I was just online last night for hours. Nobody at my facility is online yet but will ask when someone is and will see if they are having the same issues.

Morgan Davies Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:39 PM Author Posted May 5, 2020 at 02:39 PM Funny thing is, I see a fellow vZHU controller on VATSpy..might have got on before the network problems began.

Ayler Cruz Posted May 5, 2020 at 04:05 PM Posted May 5, 2020 at 04:05 PM (edited) Guys, add this to myservers.txt. It will put these servers there just in case VRC cant download their own. Fixed it for me. 165.22.239.218 CANADA 157.230.25.177 GERMANY-1 157.230.17.198 GERMANY-2 68.183.185.148 SINGAPORE 209.97.177.84 UK-1 161.35.40.246 UK-2 134.209.67.219 USA-EAST 165.22.163.56 USA-WEST sweatbox.vatsim.net SweatBox Edited May 5, 2020 at 04:24 PM by Ayler Cruz ControllerVirtual Jacksonville ARTCCVATUSA - VATSIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted May 5, 2020 at 04:50 PM Posted May 5, 2020 at 04:50 PM This is a problem with the data file. There's a formatting issue with some of the data, and that's causing VRC to fail to parse the data file, which is where VRC finds the server list. The network team is working on a fix right now. Until then, you can put the server list in your myservers.txt file, but be sure to remove them once the issue is fixed, which should be today.

Ross Carlson Posted May 5, 2020 at 05:00 PM Posted May 5, 2020 at 05:00 PM (edited) The network team has implemented the fix, and VRC is now able to parse the data file and extract the servers. Be sure to remove any servers from your myservers.txt file so that you don't have duplicates and so that future retired servers aren't still in your list.

Morgan Davies Posted May 5, 2020 at 05:05 PM Author Posted May 5, 2020 at 05:05 PM Thanks for the help Ross & Aylar. I will keep the list of servers on google drive in case this situation arises in the future.

Ross Carlson Posted May 5, 2020 at 06:49 PM Posted May 5, 2020 at 06:49 PM I wouldn't bother hanging onto a list of servers anywhere. It is transient data, likely to change. You can always get a fresh set of servers if this issue comes up again.

Morgan Davies Posted May 5, 2020 at 06:52 PM Author Posted May 5, 2020 at 06:52 PM Oh..okay. I thought that was a permanent list. ControllerVirtual Houston ARTCCVATUSA - VATSIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted May 5, 2020 at 08:26 PM Posted May 5, 2020 at 08:26 PM No, it's definitely not permanent. In fact, VATSIM is moving away from the concept of users having to choose a server to connect to. In the future, everyone will just connect without having to choose a server, and the network will route you to the best physical server automatically based on geography or other factors.
