TheRigere Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 Since updating to 2.7, every time I log in for offline play, I now get messages say authorized for xx hours remaining. When that expired I could not run dcs at all. Had to login then I was good for another 72 hour countdown. Is this the new normal? Is there a bypass? I don’t have internet and exclusively play offline. Never had this issue til 2.7
Hammer1-1 Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Its because you have a module installed that isnt supported, and its been around for a few months now. Install any mods lately like the A-4E-3? Tacview? Also, if you play offline only and never sign into DCS, yeah its going to time you out after 3 days. Was either this or Starforce...and quite honestly I miss not needing to log in for a few weeks or so so I COULD play offline any time I want without the need for internet.

Lange_666 Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 It's been like that for a while now, pre 2.7 already... I just wonder.

Hammer1-1 Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 Not everyone wants to keep their gaming rig connected to the internet, I think antivirus's are resource hogs.

The only thing I have installed recently is SRS Just now, TheRigere said: The only thing I have installed recently is SRS I wonder if its because when I updated to 2.7 it grabbed all of the "free play" modules? 8 hours ago, Lange_666 said: It's been like that for a while now, pre 2.7 already... I just wonder. If you don't have internet, how do you post here and get online to confirm DCS? LOL... yeah, its a struggle. If I want to update or load anything I have to bring my PC to work or a friends house with internet. AS for posting here, I do that from phone or at work..yeah, I'm that busy at work. lol Hopefully, Starlink actually comes thru so I can have internet at the house. I live in the woods and wouldn't trade it for anything but we can not get internet out there. I'm relegated to a hotspot from my phone when I need to connect for things, but thats not good enough for downloading massive things.

Before I went to 2.7, I literally never had to connect to confirm DCS since installing it 6 months ago, but now its every 3 days..phone hotspot, confirm, restart.

I had to re-plan a move to a house I was really interested in to another location where they had internet simply because of DCS, but a few other games as well wont let me play without it either. 3 minutes ago, TheRigere said: Before I went to 2.7, I literally never had to connect to confirm DCS since installing it 6 months ago, but now its every 3 days..phone hotspot, confirm, restart. A few months ago there were some hackers that managed to get every single module to activate online and forced ED to do this.

TheRigere Posted June 21, 2021 Author Posted June 21, 2021 I read last night there was some "antenna" icon you could click that would indicate you were offline so it wouldn't try to connect...granted you have to connect to enable it. I'm gonna try that tonight too.
Hammer1-1 Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 I did try that, and I didnt get the authorization valid for 3 days...I wonder if that it allows you to play your modules without any specific length of time behind it.
