I checked the autologin tickbox every time, but the login window appears every time I restart DCS. This was not the case in the past, when everything went smoothly. However recently I had to restart DCS several times in a row and since then I have this annoying problem.

What is even worse is that somehow my performance has dropped in some missions (from 40 to 10 FPS). I have not added any mods nor did I change any settings. DCS seems to behave very erratically now. 

I remember that DCS had account authentication problems in the past. My guess is that it is still causing problems. I use the Steam version btw.

hello. i have discovered that for some reason, when DCS is run, some of the files in DCS saved games folder get changed. when updating, i could understand why. but i also see this behavior in between updates and a normal start. one files seems to be options.lua. this is where the autologin variable is set. it is not really the source of the problem. there is an authentication file i believe gets corrupted. maybe anti virus. dunno really.

my suggestion. make a copy of the options file. open options with a text editor. find the below line an change the value to false.

["autologin"] = true,

["autologin"] = false,

run DCS and re-enter your credentials and then change back to true. probably just ticking the box will reset the autologin value without the need for text editor again.

Thanks, but it did not work. I also tried deleting 

Saved Games/DCS/network.vault

and most of the other files in the Saved Games folder, but DCS still behaves erratically. The simulator does not even care whether I am logged into my account or not. I can simply cancel the login window after startup and play all the modules that are in my Steam DLCs.
