I already got in contact with support, but the thread went on for months with all solutions failing so I left the game temporarily thinking it’d get fixed after the new update. I was wrong.
Basically almost everytime I try to join an Air SB match (and only that single gamemode!), EAC kicks in and aborts due to the “Authentication timed out (1/2)” error. It’s annoying, and sometimes while its in process, the game ends up suffering a fatal error (which only says exception).
and no, I have no idea why its only that gamemode. All Ground and Naval gamemodes work fine.
Authentication timed out (1/2) is the error that pops when you try to join a session where EAC is required, in that case that’s Air SB. Sounds like EAC might not be running with your game client.
You mentioned you opened a support ticket, but thought I’d link this support article which is where I found the explanation for that error code.
I’d recommend looking into repairing EAC or ensuring that EAC is running.
Do you have any other games on your system that are using EAC ?
I had something similar where EAC would throw me out of WT menu right after log in or in the match if i opened map. Then message would pop up “wrong version” or something like that.This would happen even if i have been online for hours .
After uninstalling other game all my problems stopped …like magic
Eac is one very fiddly piece of crap ,no wonder cheaters exploit it .
Negative. Only War Thunder.
I also had other problems with EAC before. Out of all problems with the game, all of them were EAC-related. Luckily the BSoDs stopped but now its this. Man, EAC is crap.
