Igor4U Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 For Years I was in the Habit of making sure DCS World was Updated, and then switching to Off-Line Mode so as to have the ability to Fly DCSW even if my Internet was Down. I would only go On-Line for Updates, and Down-Loads & Installs of New Modules. This Protocol seemed to work fine for many years - No Problems. Switching back and forth from/to Off-line - Online worked Perfectly Solid - No Glitches in the Matrix ! But recently (Twice in the Past Year) I've encountered the Dreaded ............. "Cannot exit offline mode due to hardware ID change. Ask for support." Error .............. ............... and have had to contact ED Support - bothering them with something that should have been no Problem in the first place. And there was absolutely No Hardware ID Change on my Part - So what is DCSW is looking at when if Acts-Up like This ? So for Now, staying Online - which is actually an easy common sense solution - but still wonder why I was getting Stuck Dead-in-the-Water in Off-Line Mode ???

But in my Cases there were Zero Software or Hardware Changes - Maybe just a Glitch in the Matrix. Interested if anyone else experienced this Problem and what they think might have causee it. In my Cases - ED Support was very Helpful and had me up and running in less than Half an Hour. 1
