@YoungBuckThanks for the info, I haven't seen it. I am actually patient, I see there is a new update as well with tons of new stuff, great. I'm just suggesting a more graceful way how to at least let us play the game in the meantime for the future. Things happen, I know.

BTW, my code was neither 503 nor 500, it was 502 (Bad Gateway, the same currently often visible on their page).

I just got the bad gateway 502 error as well. It is on their side.

Suggestion to tune this aggressive DRM: Make so the token that lasts 3 days is useful as well as after getting the 502 bad gateway error.

I just had a weekend without internet because of my local comms company but could use my modules up to 3 days if I clicked cancel on the log in tab. Of course, I could refresh the token using cellphone tethering to log in again and use DCS indefinitely by activate once again offline mode. The offline mode of course has its dangers with you have a hardware failure and your machine ID changes, but you could use the 'online' token up to 3 days without activating the offline mode.

Having an error that's not on the client side and suddenly every module that you paid for being deactivated is quite a bad feeling to have...

Once you get the 502 error, you can no longer use the saved token from the last successful log in attempt. I just finished a co-op sortie with a friend in the 'online' mode while the patch was being pushed out. Updated>502 error>paid licenses 'unauthorized'.

Aggressive DRM is quite an understatement.

"Multiplayer will not be available.
The following DLCs are not authorized and will be
disabled:
Supercarrier
A-10C II Tank Killer
F-5E Tiger II
F-86F Sabre
PersianGulf
F-14
M-2000C
F/A-18C
Ka-50 Black Shark 3
MiG-21bis
MiG-29
Su-27
Su-33
UH-1H Huey
Syria"

EDIT: I found out the authorization data for 3 days is not compatible across different DCS versions. So if you updated DCS, you'll need at least 1 successful log in attempt to be able to have your modules authorized on the newer version.

Authorization data details across different DCS versions.

[Mr. Farknocker]

Same problem here except that my error code is 504 which indicates a gateway timeout.

[LeCuvier]

I have completed the OB update, but the authorization issue is still there. This is a real mess. I tried the stable version, but it has the same problem.
ED, please communicate with us. We have a right to know what's happening!

Their severs are having issues and unable to log in players. If you get a log in error, your modules are disabled, unless you press 'cancel' or is in offline more beforehand.

If you had a log in error, you'll need to wait until their servers are back up normal, unless there is another method...

[Magot]

I am getting auth failed 504 (sometimes 502) in the latest OB DCS. What is wrong?!
I am in timezone GMT +1 (Czech, Prague) - currently set summer time in Windows 10.

Please fix the auth server.

At first I had the "Website unavailable" and all my modules disabled. Now I have "Failed to get authorization" error 504 and all modules still disabled. Did complete repair and system reboot. Windows time is synched.

Guess I'll just blow off DCS for today then...

For the sake of completeness - I first got unauthorized with 502 BEFORE the update (MT version does not auto-update), so it doesn't seem to be related to the update. Yesterday, I played, today, because of a single 502, I couldn't. Some kind of offline mode/authorization cache would be appreciated. A few days would be more than enough.

BUT: I'm back in business at this moment, seems the problem is fixed on their side.

EDIT after less than 2h: Back to 504 again... I should have kept the game going in the background just to stay authorized so it seems. This really sucks, I put the head tracking on, getting ready, knowing it's up again... and it isn't.

[Magot]

ya, all is now fixed. DCS now downloaded any small client fix on my side

// edit

no, after one successful login, again failed on 504, auth server is still very unstable!

Edited June 8, 2023 by Magot

[MickV]

Yeah, this sucks. WTF. I don't mind waiting for a while to install an update but having absolutely everything I own de-authorized isn't much fun. nullnull

[Beldin]

Issues here as well. I ran the updater. It did not update, then launched game. I got the the "website" unavailable error but game started ok. I tried to enable "off line" mode but as soon as clicked the game restarted and now everything is disabled again

[ObeliX_78]

It works fine for me.

What's the problem ?

[j0nx]

Updated to new patch and immediately get a 504 error authorization. Between you and the Division 2 guys I'm not sure who is winning the most today with their failed patches...

[Lusik]

Check this thread. 

Servers were overloaded due to high demand. 

[McCloud]

Issues here to. Pray with me people.

[=Mac=]

This seems to be a problem of the release team having no idea what planet they are on.

[j0nx]

FFS spin up some more servers please...

Add me to the 502 club..

How about an estimate on getting it fixed?

[ContraStorm]
