War Thunder is a vehicular combat multiplayer game that was initially developed as a flying simulation game. The gameplay includes combined battles on land, air, and water with vehicles from World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Cold War. Some premium vehicles can also be purchased with real money or in-game currency. There are three game modes: arcade, realistic, and simulator. The gaming company conducts events at regular intervals, which include custom missions and modified features. Recently, players reported getting an ‘Account authorization failed’ error message on their screen. We have discussed this issue in the article, along with the latest news and the cause of this.
War Thunder custom battles not working: How to fix it
They posted on their official X account about some technical issues from their end. Due to this, the custom battles and creation of custom sessions in air simulator battles were disabled. They also reported about server issues in another post on the same day. However, the issue was resolved the next day after posting this message on X. Therefore, the custom battles are now playable on War Thunder. The reason behind the disruption is unknown, but some players are speculating that hackers may be responsible. The developers introduced a ban wave the other day, removing around 2000 cheaters, which might have led to retaliation from a few of them. These are not our personal thoughts but rather reflect the discussions among the gaming community.
Apart from this, they posted about the update 2.47.0.140 on their website. This included the resolution of the custom battles error, along with a minor change made to aircrafts. It fixed the issue of aircraft remaining unharmed from forward fuselage impacts from large air-to-air missiles with warheads similar to or larger than AIM-9.
