fixed 12th February 2024 Login problems

[RWC]

Hi , i'm having login problems upon game start. 

"The web site is not available at the moment. Offline 
mode requires a saved password and a successful 
login to operate."

But i AM able to login here at the forum with the same ID and password.

Any suggestions ?

Six people have already tried to login and reported they could not. I tried and could not. I suspect the login server crashed. So, don't worry. It's not you.

The forums and the game use two different login id's and passwords as they are two different authentication mediums.

You may use the same ID and PW on both, but they are behind the scenes two different processes.

Thanks TJ, 

i see more login fails popping up atm, so it might be a server issue i recon.

I'll just wait it out a bit

Good to know. Glad it's not me/a limited issue. These things happen.

Sweeeeet! I just fired up DCS after a long hiatus. I purchased a next level flight seat pro to finally mount all my winwing goodies on so I can get flying again. I came to update everything and was told my FC3 wont activate because of login, at least its not just me, as long as I know everything should be up and running Tuesday when my chair arrives and I cat get crashing again (cant land)

Yup.  Getting Hawk flashbacks.  The list of modules that are not authorized and won't be available includes...all of them.  Does expose the lie of ownership; we own nothing, we're renting it, and the moment EDs servers go down we're left with an Su-25 and a P-52.

I'm in the software business and I do get licensing, but I also get the grace period when our licensing servers go down, and they do go down occasionally.  The good news is we have plenty of time to fix them before it's customer impacting.  Do we get scammed?  Not really; the software is pretty bright, and an uninstall really doesn't uninstall everything.

Really wish ED used the same philosophy...

Of course you can land.  Landing is mandatory.  The only variable is the quality of the landing...

there are two new threads telling the same issue. It's not a mistake of user logging. Can you confirm is an ED problem?

It´s the first time that happens to me but i know it will be solved.

Too early in the morning. Had to read that twice, was so sure you were gonna crash your cat.

Congrats with the new peripherals. Sounds awesome!

Cheers!

I'm getting below message and also all my modules are disabled:

The web site is not available at the moment. Offline
mode requires a saved password and a successful
login to operate.

 

[Tucker Fleming]

Same-ola.

[SAM77]

Same. Kinda relieved I'm not the only one.

1. Maybe the DCS server has gone into labor and is trying to give birth to a huge unified update  !

2. Ai Takeover - Maybe the DCS Ai and user Mods have locked us out and are playing the sim on their own  !

[LcSummers]

Me think so too

 

 

These are my thoughts too. I know that this will be solved and i can fly again.

 

I don not see any problems for me, wanted only to mention it.

Make sense.

[BIGNEWY]

Morning all, 

Ive asked the team about the master server being down and as soon as I know more I will let you all know. 

thanks

[71st_Mastiff]

been down for over 6 hours.

[BIGNEWY]

Hi, 

the master server is currently down and the team are investigating currently. 

thank you 

[BIGNEWY]

Server admin is checking site now, hopefully have some news soon. 

thank you 

threads merged

[BIGNEWY]

We had a database crash and recovery is currently in progress, thank you for your patience and reports. 

 

[virgo47]

All my modules were deactivated - and I played just yesterday OK. I thought the connection/login problem should NOT make the game "vanilla DCS" anymore, but here we are again.

Please, make the game playable at least offline and don't deactivate all the modules when my last successful login was mere hours ago.

Naturally, there was no update of the game on my end in between.

EDIT: I attached my log:

2024-02-12 08:57:11.049 ERROR   ASYNCNET (16204): Login failed becase server returned invalid reply.
