jumphigh Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Hello, I'm running the latest 2.5.5. Last start was 2021-02-05, everything was working then. Now at start, every login attempt fails with "Invalid login or password", I have no authorization and all paid modules are disabled. But login to my user profile at ED's site works as usual and I can see all my modules. Integrity check and repair show no problems with my installation. I don't want to update to latest 2.5.6@stable because I'm inside the Huey campaign and I'm afraid that the latest changes to weapons effectivity may harm the old mission design. Especially the effect of the Gatlings on unarmored soldier groups seems worse in 2.5.6. Is this problem related to my old 2.5.5 or what's going on at the moment?

jumphigh Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) As I already wrote: Latest 2.5.5, Subversion 41371.1. I opened a support ticket and they told me: Quote You are using DCS version 2.5.5.41371, which is no longer available. To login, please update DCS World to the latest version. I can't remember, when and where I read about old versions going out of activation so I asked the forum. Maybe one of the members has more insight. One month ago, 2.5.5 activated flawlessly and allowed me to test modules during free trial, but now, it refuses to work without further notification? Am I the only one who is still on 2.5.5?

I opened a support ticket and they told me: What a shame, that version is less than a year old and they have already discontinued its use? This seems really odd.

jumphigh Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) I even don't understand why there's a need to shut off older versions? Of course you get no support but deactivating authorization to render it useless on customer's side? That's ridicules and in my opinion a violation of customer rights – at least in the EU. This is not an online service! On my side there would be no problem in upgrading if code quality is given. But my main module is the Huey and according to the forum, version 2.5.6 introduces more problems and faults with every update then it solves. As an owner of older modules I lost all confidence in newer DCS. Edited March 8, 2021 by jumphigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But FPS are significantly worse than 2.5.5. I have to lower settings to get the same semi smooth game play than before. Not everybody out there owns a $2000-RTX 3090. There are reasons your customers want to stay at an older version! Edited March 8, 2021 by jumphigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
