Tiramisu Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 I am getting these errors after buying the Fw-190A and Bf-109, which I tried for free a few months ago: I am not able to play with my modules any more. What should I do now?
viper2097 Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Same here, paid more then thousand Euros and not able to play with any of the modules I own. Thank you very much. My Wednsday evening training with my Squad just got canceled. Maybe I should invest my money better in the future. Steam user - Youtube I am for quality over quantity in DCS modules
Tiramisu Posted July 1, 2020 Author Posted July 1, 2020 I have to cancel my MP session today as well. Very frustrating.
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted July 2, 2020 ED Team Posted July 2, 2020 If you are ever in doubt please contact support directly here https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/ 504 is a timeout issue, sometimes local nodes go down or there is a server problem somewhere on the route to the master server. Note steam authorisation is controlled by valve. thanks Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

viper2097 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Honestly, I don't care about if ED or Steam is responsible. I paid a lot of money and I want to play if I can fulfill all conditions, and I don't believe its steam, because steam itself and every other game worked without any problem. Maybe you can find a solution for the future. (Haveing modules activated for a USEFUL time since the last handshake with the masterserver - e.g. two weeks or one month - would be a good beginning; or valid until motherboard change etc...) I can understand that you are afraid of pirateing, but when that prevents from useing legal bought software, it will get popular again! What if my internet connection is down for a week because of a damage in the supply network? Or the connection of your masterserver? Are the thousand Euros I've already invested only worth two days if the Masterserver gets unplugged? Can't be true...

For stand alone you are granted a 3 day offline timer. If you are going offline for a long time you can switch to offline mode and be off line as long as you wish. We can not be responsible if your connection goes down, but we have made it possible to continue, also if you are tech savy authorisation can be done over a mobile connection if needed.

viper2097 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 The 3 day offline timer is the same for the steam edition, so as I played the last time 5 days ago, I was not able to play with my squad yesterday. Had nothing to do with steam. Steam works fine. Even offline. Especially yesterday. Simple thing: If i paid for a product, I should be able to use it if there is no problem on my side. If copy protections gets agressive and patronizing, people will more look for illegalalternatives. Simple solution: Increase that 3 day offline policy to two weeks or one month. Or let that 3 day counter start when it can't reach the master server for the first time. Then that issue yesterday would have not happened.
