Thx Flipo, that seemed to do the trick


How yall figure this stuff out amazes me lol


SL

I'm getting the same problem recently but doing that didn't fix it.

The Decal Devs do not support or suggest modifying your hosts file to block insanity-inc.org or decaldev.com.


If insanity goes down, it generally comes back online quickly since Mekle would probably be aware of the outtage.

What uses insanity-inc?


In other words, what would forwarding that domain name to my local machine affect?

Windows is contacting insanity inc to inquire about the revocation status of the certificate we use to sign the decal binaries. It is simply a good idea not to prevent this check from occurring.


Insanity is also the web site of one of the core devs, and as such there is no way to judge what services may show up there in a beta/test status that Decal may require before we finalize various features.


We have made some changes that will be in the next release of decal that will change this connection to insanity to decaldev.com. That should solve the vast majority of the problems this has created.

Please don't jump me, but inquiring minds want to know ... how much longer is Decal going to be "Beta"? Opps, sorry, Alpha. It hasn't even entered the Beta phase yet after a year.

Decal itself will be "alpha" until the new view system is completed. Once the api freezes on NVS, Decal will become beta. Adapter may or may not follow the same schedule (it may very well continue to be alpha after Decal is declared beta).

Sorry Paradoxlost but its been acting this way (long delay starting decal and logging in) for last several days at least. I didn't come looking for help til a few days had gone by with it doing this. I usually wait whenever something hiccups figuring it will be fixed if can as soon as possible. It hasn't so I asked for help.


Edit: I'm not trying to block it and will certainly put it back once its up and running properly again.


SL

I hope it never gets updated. I don't want to lose eltank.
