TAW_Impalor Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I had autologin and everything worked fine for years until 10 minutes ago. Now each time I start DCS (OB) I get this error, followed by request to enter serial number for each of my modules. If I enter and bind any of them, I get 'Failed to update autorization data'. All my modules are gone and cannot be played. Log-off / log-on did not help. Repair did not help. Are we having back-end problems? 12900KF@5.4, 32GB DDR4@4000cl14g1, 4090, M.2, W10 Pro, Warthog HOTAS, ButtKicker, Reverb G2/OpenXR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Hi @impalor. I got the same today. Believe it or not, it's linked to the daylight changing time. You want your PC date and time to be correct for DCS to work. Please try this. Today, I had to tick "set time zone automatically" because otherwise my PC time wouldn't be set right.

TAW_Impalor Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Yes, that was it, thanks! Funny how DCS waited whole day to notice that. Also funny, that it was asking my PG map serial number among others, but I don't have it saved and did not find it listed in my orders history. Same for Syria map. Why would that be?

Flappie Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Chances are you had these maps installed during a free-trial period. Didn't you? Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I bought them, but unlike other modules they don't show serial numbers when I click 'Details' on My Orders page. I am talking about Profile on DCS web site. Everything else I bought shows SN in red letters under the product name...

Flappie Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Oh, right. I assume having the wrong time prevents the game from connecting to the DCS authent servers, forcing it to check for licence numbers locally.

Klax75 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Same here every mod I have says "Failed to get authorization data. Error code is: 500 No saved authorization found" Doesn't matter if bought from ED or brought over and converted from Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hi @Klax75. Have you tried this solution already? Error 500 in DCS very often means your PC date and time are incorrect.
