solved Unable To Start DCS OpenBeta After Small Update

[allen6090]

I have confirmed Internet connection. I can log into the forum and DCS site. No joy launching DCS Open Beta though. I have attached my logs too. Is DCS website down per the pop up window? I do have a password saved when operating offline to. But it would not show any of my purchased modules when I entered the offline mod. I have have also done a Clean up and repair. Please advise.

Just in case, check that the date/time of your PC is correct, as it may impede connection to ED Servers.

Try this:

1. Go to "Saved Games/DCS.../Config".
2. Delete "authdata.bin" file.
3. Start DCS and log in with your username and password.

Flappie you nailed it! I deleted the "authdata bin". Logged into DCS user / password it launched and opened up with all of my purchased aircraft modes with no issues. Greatly appreciate your suggestion for this fix, Flappie! You ROCKED it!
