Zyll Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 What does this error mean? We have four dedicated servers running, haven't had problems for a long time. Now I see this error message on 3/4 of the server logs, and those servers are not visible in the server list, nor in the remote console https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/server/ NET: Server update failed with code 401. The server will be unlisted. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_Crawford Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Have the same issue with my dedicated servers, started last night for me. From the webgui it wouldn't let me start anything up and after a few minutes they just dissapeard. Tried again this morning and starting everything up worked fine but they dissapear after a couple of minutes. Checked the logs and have same code 401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyll Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 What does the simultaneous users part mean exactly? Only two people can be using the remote console at once? I dunno if that's what the problem is in my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if that's what the problem is in my case. Hi Meaning you can only have two simultaneous logins for the same account. for example you have two servers running an the same account.

ViFF Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 So, if I understand this correctly, for those of us who are running several instances of the dedicated server, are you suggesting that for each dedicated server instance we should use a different account?

ViFF Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 You can run two per account. Thanks BIGNEWY. I think that is workable. I will create a new account for the stable version and run the two open beta dedicated server instances on the current account. I hope the team will find the problem quickly and fix. Let me know if there's anything I can help with trouble shooting etc. I am the admin and operator of DCS ISRAEL servers.

Zyll Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 i'm sorry, I'm not understanding. If on my physical server I have one installation of DCS World OpenBeta, I log into that with a specific userid and password. Then I have a separate installation of OpenBeta Server that I assume are tied to that same userid and password for DCS World (please correct me if I'm wrong). So how do I create more than 2 running instances of the dedicated server now, if every instance is going to be tied to that single DCS World userid and password? thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyll Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 and further to this, I don't know how to fix our situation now. I have tried running just two instances, but I just got the 401 error on one of my servers just a few minutes later. I can't keep our servers reliably running anymore, not 4 servers not 2 servers. Please help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help :) The key here is you can only login to the same account twice. If you login to play dcs with your account, and additionally run one server, that is you limit for logins on that account. To run more servers you would need another free dcs account and then you can run two more servers on that new account.

Zyll Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Confirmed! All our servers went offline for the same 401 reason, right at 11:40am GMT. I can only assume this was an ED issue as both of us had the problem simultaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madfish Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Can confirm but on a different time: 13/11/2019 21:16:58,13 detected session timeout on eu_training_1 13/11/2019 21:16:58,16 detected session timeout on eu_training_2 13/11/2019 21:16:58,35 killed eu_training_1 13/11/2019 21:16:58,35 killed eu_training_2 13/11/2019 21:17:13,45 started eu_training_1 13/11/2019 21:17:13,48 started eu_training_2 - and what's even worse: they couldn't connect again after the failure. This was 3 minutes after the the first session timeout was detected by my script. What I got on both servers was: DCS Login Failed DCS web site is not available at the moment. Offline mode requires a saved password and a successful login to operate. Even more interesting: from 3 servers only two failed - and both were on the same account. Is any more troubleshooting required from our end? More logs etc.? Best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
