Audiophilip Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hi, I'm having issues starting the game via Steam. I have some DLCs that won't be activated. I receive the following error messages once I launch the game via Steam: I have the latest version. I have re-downloaded the DLCs, as well as checked the integrity of game files. I'm on the main release branch, no betas. Previously the same installation worked, no idea what causes the problem. I would appreciate any kind of help to solve the authentication issue. Thank you very much! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) What DLCs are listed? If there are unofficial modules, also commonly refered as mods, listed, you installed them wrong. If there are official modules listed, you may also consider contacting customer support. Edited January 28 by razo+r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go into your profile on DCS web site and make sure you have unbinded the Steam account.

Thank you, that was the solution. So basically I had to go to https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/profile/, sign in, then under "User profile" / "Steam account" I had to unbind the DLCs. Thanks again!

Beirut Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) I'm having the same problem where Steam disabled all my modules. In my profile page, in the "steam binding " part, the button is right now orange and says "bind". Is that what it should be or am I supposed to change it? I don't want to click on something that will screw everything up... worse than it is now. Edit: after a few restarts of the PC and opening the game a few times, all seems to work now. Just a burp in the cosmos I guess. Edited March 8 by Beirut Some of the planes, but all of the maps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikla Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Yep...ED seems to have snuck this change in as it now says "Attention! After the link is done you will not be able to use your Steam DCS account unless you unbind!" Typical money grap BS. Sorry, ED, uninstalling standalone will limit my future module purchases.

The only way this is a money grab is if you were letting someone else use your Steam account while you were using your standalone or vice versa (so now you'd have to buy a second copy so you could both play). Otherwise I also fail to see how this is a money grab. People doing that is why it was changed to the way it is now. You can use it on EITHER Steam or standalone and you can swap between the two, you just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
