Error Code 8

1134Z/6:34am EST updated and kind of at CYYZ as WestJet 374, but getting error code 8, connected on another device.

-I deleted IF from my iPhone while still sitting on my iPad.

Addition(s):
-Just restarted my iPad and still error code 8.
-Just for kicks, I tried training server.

Hey!

We’re aware of this happening to users who does not have their account linked with a Community profile.

A fix server-side is on the way and should be out and about in a short while!

Thank you so much for your help, and—most importantly—your time and dedication!

I know it may not fix the issue right away, which is fine, but can you, @schyllberg, or someone fix a common issue that other users have when they receive an Error Code 8 whenever you get a chance?

Ah, I have the same problem, thanks

Hello!

Apologies for this issue and the slight delay in getting it fixed. We’ve just pushed a server update which should let you start a flight in multiplayer once again.

Let us know if you’ve had a chance to try it and if it works. We’ll continue monitoring from our end :)

My account is linked but I’m having this issue in the loading screen as soon as I open the app.

No worries! Technology is far from perfect as much as we all want it that way! I guess I meant to add that prior to 24.4 I received code 8 when trying to link and I think it was due to having a “ghost account” I think I’ve seen it referred to as. @schyllberg and/or @Cameron

Uhhh Cameron you Did a Update whilst I was at Honolulu on Emirates 184V

Yeah that was an faulty code in reality.
Code 5 is the one that should be shown when you’re trying to link to an existing account but it was showing Code 8.

We’ve cleaned up the error codes a bit now so Code 7 & 8 are primarily some sort of connection issue

Gotcha’! Thank you, as always, again!

As a now I am aware was technically a wrong error code—regarding what I think was referring to an account issue—should I try to link community to the app again?

Yes I think I fixed your stuff a few days ago?
