some1 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 If DCS fails to authorize modules like with today's sever issues, it wipes out all settings from the "Special" tab in DCS Options. These settings are normally saved in "\Saved Games\DCS\Config\options.lua" in the ["plugins"] section. But DCS overwrites this file on every launch, and it does not bother to preserve options for modules that lost authorization.

VXE-6 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I am hoping I will not have to reset all the modules I bought in the past once they fix this authorization issue. Not cool at all. I just checked mine, and both standalone and open beta are wiped out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't have to redo all the settings whenever this happens. Every warbird will have Take Off Assist at 100% and the trim settings for helis are borked. 1 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X | Mobo: Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro | RAM: 64GB DDR4 3600 G.Skill TridentZ | GPU: Palit RTX3080 Ti 12GB | SSDs: 2xSabrent Rocket 1TB M.2 | Samsung Pro 256GB | Samsung EVO 850 500GB | Samsung QVO 1TB Peripherals: Warthog HOTAS | TrackIR 5 | MFG Crosswinds | 3xTM Cougar MFDs | HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Hi @some1 . I checked my OB files: this did not happen to me, although I also met the many "50#" errors we got a few days ago. Did it happen to anybody else out there? It's plain to see in some1's options.lua file: the "plugins" section only refers to free content (CaptoGlove, LeapMotion, Su-25T, TF-51...) and mods (A-4EC, Tacview...).

Mik75 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Same for me too, takeoff assist turned on in the warbirds, cockpit options (like language or trimmer options in the Hind etc.) were reset...

You need to modify one setting to cause the issue. Steps to reproduce: Start DCS and get module auth error. In DCS main menu, edit any Special option and save: now, the options.lua file is purged of aircraft which could not be authentified. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord.

some1 Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 I did not change any options manually, but the file was still wiped out. Maybe because I start DCS from different shortcuts with command line options (like --force_enable_VR) Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickos86 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Hi, Not sure if it's a bug or a feature - in the last two patches my special options revert back to default values across all modules. ED, Is it on purpose? Anyone else having this issue? If not - any way to prevent this from happening? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
