Login info never saves...

[StandingCow]

I have had this issue since the start of 2.5.... it refuses to remember my password at each launch. Any ideas what could be causing that?

You starting dcs as Admin?

No, didn't know that's a thing that had to be done to save the login info.

The sim will look for a password verification if you go more than 3 days without logging in.

This does it every launch, if I exit game and launch immediately it asks again.

 

Also, just tried running DCS as admin and it also didn't remember.

Stupid question. You checked the box for password remember? ������

 

Yep

Maybe write protected DCS Folder in saved Games

Make sure Autologin is also checked in the MISC. section of the options screen

 

then exit and doublecheck your options.lua has saved it

 

Check it in notepad++ in Drive:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\options.lua

 

under the sections in "miscellaneous" (roughly lines 79 to 94) there should be a line

["autologin"] = true,

 

it should be true,

All that is how it should be... still doing it.

try running cleanup and then repair,

 

if that fails, delete the authdata.bin file in D:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config

then re-run DCS it'll create a new authdata.bin just after you enter your password, that should fix it.

That seems to have done it. Thank you :)
