Incorrect login or password

[nitrodust]

Hi,

 

It would seem that when logging into DCS 1.5 with the openbeta client, you can no longer use special characters in your password like {}[].+\- etc . The game complains about "Incorrect login or password". Changing the password to only use [a-zA-Z0-9] allows me to log in again.

 

Logging into the website works fine and it used to work with DCS 1.2.

Couldn't login with account

 

I had to change my password to log in to the open beta.

 

I suspect it was the complexity of the old password. If someone from ED wants to look into this I am willing to divulge the old password.

Same here , new password helps :)

[USA_Recon]

I have same issue

[xaoslaad]

Same

[USA_Recon]

btw. nice find, I wouldn't have realized this :)

[USA_Recon]

issue is I believe, with special characters - I have a : in mine - I changed my password and then it worked

[unknown]

I have the same problem but i don't want to change my password in something simple because i get once or twice a year an e-mail from ed system that somebody is trying to login into my account, if i search for that ip it is located in the ukraine. So, is there hope that this will get fixed?

 

Edit:

Ok, now it works after ~50 trys. It seems the servers are a little bit busy right now. ;) Know i only have to get the modules working.

I get an Internal Server Error when I try to log in.

 

EDIT: Never mind, it is working now, apparently I mistyped my user name.

Razorback, Think that's load related. I've seen that and retrying several times has worked.

This thread can probably be merged into the "Special chracaters in password fails to log in " thread. Same issue.

 

You can still use complex passwords; some special characters work, others don't.

Incorrect login or password

 

Can`t login...

 

I fill the form correct but can`t login. Red msg Incorrect login or password and if i enter the data again message is Internal server errorr.

 

And again and again... :helpsmilie:

 

EDIT:

 

That happens if ''save password'' is checked.

I turn off ''save password'' and check ''Auto login'' I was able to log in

 

EDIT 2:

After logout - same problem... can`t login.

Does your pwd contain special characters?

[DerekSpeare]

I tried to access the "forgot password" option and got a blank page.

[Falcon_S]

After logout - again problem.

 

Sobek, my username have character = (=238.lbae=Falcon) and every time is changed in ''3'' (3238.lbae3Falcon) after attempts. So, i need to change username?

[nitrodust]

Okay. the issue is even funnier.

 

Having special characters AND selecting "save password" makes you fail the login. Either using no special characters or disabling "save password" lets you log in.

 

Edit:

This only fixed the issue once for me (while using a password with special characters), after restarting the game it fails again. how strange.

 

Tabbing in and out of the game suddenly let me log in again, even with "save password"

 

Edit2:

Okay seems this is happening right now:

 

Use a password with special characters

Turn on the game, go to the password prompt, disable save password and auto login.

Enter login data.

The login wil fail with "Incorrect login or password"

push the login button repeatedly,

"Incorrect login or password"

until login succeeds.

 

Edit 3:

it seems it works correctly now... no more mashing buttons

 

Edit 4:

it's not letting me log in again ^^. I guess the servers are a bit flaky at the moment.

I'm having the same problem with =AH=_Sid

Couple other threads. Certain special characters arent working. Youll need to change your password to exclude problem characters.

[Falcon_S]

Perhaps linked to this problem. I tried on the DCS website on my profile to change my username but can`t access on my profile:

The script encountered an error and will be aborted. To view extended error messages, enable this feature in .settings.php.

[DarkFire]

I got this problem with DCS 1.2.x until I added ALL the game .exe files to the 'exclude' list of my firewall software. Might be worth a try.

Try turning off your anti virus program, this allowed me to login.

 

I am having problems with the module manager and multiplayer though as it says "Error recieving files", and I can't see any servers in the server browser.

Perhaps linked to this problem. I tried on the DCS website on my profile to change my username but can`t access on my profile:

 

Its fine just enter digitalcombatsimulator.com again and you will be logged in.

[Falcon_S]

Its fine just enter digitalcombatsimulator.com again and you will be logged in.

 

It looks like they are doing something on the site ... I tried

 

Site under construction.

Please try again later.

Got the same thing on the second or third time I started DCS 1.5, but after spamming the login button several times with "Save Password" and "Auto Login" unchecked (as some users suggested here) I eventually logged in.

 

EDIT: I don't have any special characters in my username nor password.

I don't think it's related to special characters, as I don't have any in my login and I had similar issue on game startup (with "auto" and "save" ticked, I was getting either "no internet connection" or "internal server error" messages). Eventually, I used the new login button on top of the screen and this one actually worked. Now the game auto-logs-in correctly.
