I have no idea. Actually, I tried all that are mentioned as 4.14 here:

When I have time, I'll try another clean and separate 4.14. install. We will see.

Well Dimlee, if you make it onto the AleXserver, say hello. It's pretty busy around 12:00 noon here in +5GMT. Usually 20 players, some times many more.

I've been enjoying re-flying old missions with the new atmospherics and literally seeing them in a new light (for better or worse)

I was hoping to see the U-2VS mission U2-05_19420501 titled "1942 - Supply to Encircled Cavalry Corps" updated with a new Timeout setting so that the mission became achievable.

Some may remember I posted a simple fix for this about 6 months ago and Sita thanked me for the tip. I thought that might mean it would be fixed with the new patch since it only requires a single digit to be changed in the .mis file to be fixed, but no such luck. So anyone trying to fly that mission will still get a mission failure message after 30 minutes, long before reaching the target.

I'll repeat the fix for those wanting to know. Just change the Target line in the .mis file as below (key digit in red):

(Original) 3 0 1 30 500 19909 36097 450
(New Fixed) 3 0 1 90 500 19909 36097 450.

This works equally well for 4.13.4m and 4.14m.

i hope this fix with some others mission fixes will be include in the hotfix

I have made another separate and "clean" install of 4.14 starting from DVD Platinum then upgrading with SAS Megapatch to 4.12.2 and then adding all updates up to 4.13.4.
Then installed 4.14.
Still no luck with multiplay. Neither of 4.14 servers from the list below allow me in.

Same problem as before. First message is "Connection is successful!" and then ""The communication with the remote host is lost."
So, it seems that I'm banned from multiplay by some new tricks implemented by TD in 4.14.
Not nice. Not smart. Not user friendly.

P.S. No problem with connecting to 4.13 servers and earlier... Ever.
