Repository not working (not just slow)

Our servers are up and running fine.
The problem is more on your side, or your ISP
https://wiki.beamng.com/Repository_troubleshooting

 

Sorry if I sounded like that, not meaning to, rather to provide a quick answer due being in a rush.

Freshly installed does not imply no mods being installed:
Some users call a fresh install a simple reinstall the game via Steam, which does not clear out the mods folder (Steam does not touch the mods in any case). The page I linked mentions the mods in the last point, asking to make sure that no mods / modified files are being forgotten somewhere which be causing the problem.

I also confirmed that they in fact aren't, but up and running as usual, as it was questioned if they were actually working or not.
(if they go down for any reason, like maintenance, we usually have a site-wide notice about it)


So yeah, that's pretty much it.
This kind of issues does not produce any kind of information we can use to help the user generally. The most we would get from the logs is a simple "Unable to connect" error which leaves plenty of space to the imagination.

So am I again suggesting that the issue could possibly be caused by something forgotten in the fresh install (a clean install is a safer approach), something on your system blocking the game from reaching our server (a firewall, antivirus and whatnot; check this list too) or the ISP (you may test from here, although that's for the download speeds, not the reachability usually)


Additionally, please provide more information on the issue as "not working" is too generic:
Is the repository page staying blank? Is there any text being displayed?
Are the other tabs (Mods for example) working?
Was it working before? If yes, when the issue started?
(ie. After an update / after installing some mod /randomly)
A support ID would allow us to have a look at your logs too: https://supportid.beamng.com/
(although keep in mind what I said above on these type of errors, the logs may not give us any additional information on this type of issue)

 

From what I understood, servers speed are not what are being reported here. OP is having issues accessing the repository altogether or so (I asked further info above, as it's unclear what the exact issue is)

Anyway, the delay you are mentioning is normal:
All the in-game downloads are served via a CDN.
When you upload a mod to the repository, it is only available within the forum network in the first few hours.
Once the CDN is synced up, then that mod is served via it, and it becomes visible in-game as well.
Usually this process only takes a few hours.

 

That's better, please always include as much details as possible like above when reporting a problem.

The launcher shows that one of your file is modified:

Code:

164.69479|I|verifyHash| lua\ge\extensions\core\online.lua: different

That file manages the online part. Unless you edited it manually for some reason, it could be corrupted.
Follow this guide to let Steam redownload the corrupted/broken/missing files from your install:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
You can use the Launcher > Suppor Tools > Verify Integrity to double-check that all files are intact afterwards.


Second, your logs contains this:

Code:

  4.96561|E|SecureComm::secureRequest|curl failed: SSL connect error

First please check what I mentioned in the earlier paragraph, as it could mainly be caused by that,
Additionally check that your system clock is correct: incorrect system clock is often the cause of SSL errors.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/k...efox-did-not-connect#w_incorrect-system-clock

 

Newest logs shows the file has been corrected, but the same error remain:

Code:

curl failed: SSL connect error

This time there is a bit more info:

Code:

  2.69742|E|online|Unable to log in. Unable to connect: schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: SEC_E_ILLEGAL_MESSAGE (0x80090326) - This error usually occurs when a fatal SSL/TLS alert is received (e.g. handshake failed). More detail may be available in the Windows System event log.

The logs do not show any issues coming from the game itself.
As I mentioned earlier, the issue is more likely lying somewhere in-between the game sending a connection request, and the server receiving the correct request.
As we cannot point you to any specific solution, it's mostly about trying and see what the cause could be.

What is your ISP? Even though your internet is working, it does not exclude that your provide may be having issues receiving specific addresses. Our SysAdmin also suggested that some ISP do SLL/TLS interception (in other words, your traffic is being decrypted), which would fail a secure connection.

Did you check if you were able to reach and download a file from this page I posted earlier?
