Authorization Failed

I have just started to get this since the last couple of updates.

I have already attempted the following troubleshooting steps without success:

  1. Checked Internet Connection: Restarted my router and confirmed stable internet connectivity.
  2. DCS World Account: Logged out and logged back into my DCS World account within the game.
  3. Verified Module Ownership: Confirmed on the Eagle Dynamics website that the F/A-18C module is listed under my licenses and is bound to my account.
  4. DCS World Repair: Ran the "Repair DCS World" utility.
  5. Firewall/Antivirus: Temporarily disabled my firewall and antivirus, and also added exceptions for DCS.exe and related processes.
  6. System Date and Time: Ensured my system's date, time, and timezone are set correctly and synchronised automatically.
  7. PC Restart: Restarted my computer multiple times.
  8. Logs: Deleted the dcs.log file from Saved Games\DCS\Logs and then ran a repair.

Despite these steps, the authorization for the F/A-18C module continues to fail.

 

If anyone can help, I'm all out of ideas.

Last time I had this problem, only a few weeks ago, I deleted everything in the folders(not Missions) that was the mod name and did a reinstall. I did this for the F4 but should work for the FA18 also.

hello. did you change your HOSTS file to get around a previous connection problem?

file is found in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

Hi, no, I have never touched that. Looking at it, it is showing the default "sample" version.

Perfect. I deleted the folder D:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C and DCS loaded without the error. Then I reinstalled the folder, and it works. Thank you.
