fixed Invalid Username of Password (ED Website OK)

[Dangerzone]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with DCS right now. It was OK 10 minutes ago. I closed out to do some stuff and when I try and log back in I get "Invalid Username or Password" - yet I'm fine if I log into digitalcombatsimluator.com on my account.

I thought I'd check here first to see if there's a wider issue, or whether it's just my account.

Cheers

Dz

Someone has logged into my account from another machine, this message appeared to me when I was on a server and I'm scared how could I solve this? Thank you

[Eole]

Yes Got the same. Was trying a MIZ when the game stopped without explanation and a text who told me someone logged into my account on another machine. Launcher get the same message.

Same - I was playing on a server and was kicked opff and saw a message saying I was kicked off because someone logged into my account on another machine. THen when I log into the game I see Invalid Username or Password like you. Website is good for me too.

Thanks guys. Wasn't sure if it was a 'me' or 'them' issue, but looks to be a 'them' issue. I won't worry about doing the whole reset/repair/etc until I see what happens.

Same here.  was flying a mission, got logged out because anther computer had logged into my account then invalid user name or password.

 

?maintenance?

[DragonSoulkin]

Just happened to me too. Changed my password and that didn't do anything. Cannot log into the game but I can log into the forums just fine.

 

[Surrexen]

Same here.

[Kad1n]

Im getting the same aswell.

[isdjan]

Same here. Invalid login, then crashing (stable) or offline mode (beta).

[Nerbomatic]

Just happened to me a few minutes ago as well while I was doing some scenario testing in the editor, I suppose I'm glad it's not just me

[lester]

Same for me

[VampireNZ]

[Cahoot]

Same thing, thought I was hacked. Invalid password, and will not let me log in

It was a bit of a scare, changed my password on the site just in case. Still can't log in with either the old or new password.

Was playing normally without issue, then the MP server reset and was booted to my desktop. Game showed up in task manager but no window visible, had to close via task manager.

Upon trying to re-launch I get a 'invalid username or password' error message.

I can log into my account no problem, reset my password just to be sure, then ran repair Open Beta - all to no avail.

Confirmed username and password are entered correctly but all credentials get the same error message. 

Any suggestions?

[Volkhov]

Same as above, works online not in game 

[Baltic Pirate]

Not just open Beta. Also stable version affected. @BIGNEWY Check this out old chap.

[Dangerzone]

This appears to be  a problem at ED's end. Please don't waste your time - resetting your password, doing repairs. Rolling back to Stable (or conversely upgrading to Open Beta), etc . None of these will work. It's not something we can fix by the looks of it.

You can currently confirm if your password is OK by logging into ED's website at http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com however given so many people are having the same problem - no solution appears to be available. 

Until ED officially respond with a solution, or they fix the problem there end, there appears to be nothing we can do about it for now.

Having the same problem, sounds like it's probably some sort of server side issue.

No doubt they'll have it sorted sometime soon.

A little disappointing though as I was just on the last leg of a long campaign mission
