HotTom Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I did a complete reinstall of the stable version. Every time I open DCS, I get "Authorization Failed" notice. Yeah, I can fly off line (my usual) but why does it fail? I checked my time and date and time zone on my computer and all are accurate. I did a "Repair." Authorization still fails. Help. Please.

HotTom (tttiger) hello. maybe try to rename your saved games dcs folder. i think there is a file in there that sometimes causes issues when reinstalling dcs.

Solution HotTom Posted February 3, 2023 Author Solution Posted February 3, 2023 Thanks, Guys! Renaming didn't help but I kept getting a message along with "Authorization Failed" that two mods were being disabled (A-4E and OV-10) so I searched for them and found copies had been installed in the main DCS folder instead of User Files (don't know how that happened). Deleted them and reinstalled in Saved Games (where they belonged) and Voila! Back in business! Thank you both! HotTom (tttiger) 2 Exceptional engineering...and a large hammer to make it fit!
