This question is in the wrong place, needs to be in the tech support forum.

If your computer is now linked to his account, then he must login to FAF on another computer to release your computer for you to login on.

Hi guys.

My friend recently logged onto FAF with his steam linked account and now I can no longer log in. I did not realise this would be a problem and now I cannot play. Is there a workaround. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

With 5 mins delay and with the huge perf drawback ? Technically speaking yes but realistically ...

Would it be feasible to allow watching replays/live replays on a VM (without having to link to a steam account that I don't have)?

It's really convenient to host a game , but in the background watch another while waiting for the hosted game to fill.

The steam account you gave does not exists. I can't help you if you don't enter it correctly.
I don't even know what FAF account you are trying to link.

Maybe I can do something if you give me your steamId (http://steamidfinder.com/)

Ok, I was really working hard at preventing any future smurf issues and ensure it don't get somehow caught up in this ever again, yet as I said I get close but really suck at this techy stuff. I give up for now. I really cant seem to win at the moment. I appreciate your fast response and can see you put a lot of effort into this site, you must get bombarded with emails and PM's. I am prepared to make a donation to the game as sign of respect for what you guys do and to make up for the time you have spent working with me..I know you have been frustrated....as have I.

Regards.

Again, I can't check if your account is public or private.
The server check if the steamId you've linked has FA or not in the library.

It doesn't even need to be installed. So it can't be a corrupted cache.

If the check fails, your account is unlink to avoid further problem with the lobby. You can relink it as many time you want.

update on my expirence, I manage to link the account and went out to log back in as a test...didn't go well

I got the confirmation that "your account is linked and logged out of FA forever ( I turned off auto log in)
I entered my details and logged in...but got an error that cant find forged alliance steam files.

I have logged in and checked files pointed to steam copy of Fa, I have checked that the files are no corrupted in steam (logging in into steam and checking file location and running interity verification)

I even went in and re linked my account, yet still comes stating my account is now unlinked as cant find file

Any advice, I have check my steam profile is not private all public?

Kind Regards

You can try as many time as you want, no problems.

I have increase the time to 10 minutes. Can't do much more.

I can't check your steam account. As stated on the webpage, I don't have access to anything else than your steamId (it's a number, not a profile name).

I could access it (you can through a webpage, nothing hacky), but I won't do it, as I state that FAF won't access these data.

You can link your account to Steam.

By doing that, you will be able to run several accounts on the same computer, as long as all these accounts are also linked to Steam.

The Steam account need to have a copy of Forged Alliance. It doesn't need to be installed.
The Steam account need to be public during the first login. You can set it back to private after the initial login.

Be careful :
If you try to log with a non-linked account on a computer that used a steam-linked account, you will not able to login!

there is no going back!
Once your account is tied to Steam, you can't unlink it!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your request has expired (60 seconds)

I received the above message and have tried twice to link my steam account, im sure I did it in under 60 seconds, worried if I keep attempting it wont work.

My steam login name is mark_gardner ....I got the password and human confirmation correct. My in game "steam name is Random_defeat can you please check if I managed to link correctly?

Kind Regards

I would like to share, I am a 41 year old raving fan (ever read the book) of Forged Alliance, superme commander and TA. In recent days I I have refrained from commenting hear for "fear" of the power the admin has, (as my reinstatement is pending). I like many "smurfers" simply like to play the game, didn't read any warnings, posts, forums I just logged in and played. To be clear I even got the reason I was banned wrong "I sincerely thought my game name was "random_defeat" a name I use in many other games. I really don't remember passwords I just have 4 or so with slight variations and try them until i'm logged in. In the case of FA I had Auto log in..worked well for years I expect the reason I got caught here was a recent re install leading me to no long be on the auto log in mode I used for years..thus I just punched in names and passwords and bang I was in...issue was it was an old name Silent_ghost ...don't ask I truly,have no idea how I created another name. I expect I did this back when this game was brought back to life as I recall finding this as I was "recommended" while still playing in GDP or what ever the old system was. At the time I jumped back n forth between the two. Like many un techy persons I really had know idea what I was logging into at the time or how it worked, in fact at the time it didn't work so well for me, and to be fair in the early days the interface was not like it is today thanks to the "unappreciated and taken for granted work" of the FA Forever team.

Call me naive but I really don't think that too many would be attempting to smurf, and for those whom do life as a new account is very hard, I am guilty of seeing low ranked newbies and going to other games so being a smurf must loose appeal quickly. I don't have the answer, however I think somewhere in the middle might work better? I don't mind the idea of linking to steam as an optional proof of anti smurf for those whom choose would be such a bad idea, or facebook etc..

Lastly I would ask that people whom are asking about this or debating the issue (mostly smurfs) are not treated poorly as I have been a quite member of this game community for years now, never warned caused issues or trouble just played and enjoyed the game, I never made the elusive(for me 1000) rank but I don't take it that serious I just enjoy the game. I play team games on setons, thermo and the odd ranked when games are quiet. I hope once my ban is lifted to play many more games and keep my head down and mouth shut, but that in itself seems a little wrong, truth is I never talk on the chat channel now for fear of offending an admin. Please forget the harsh rules for a few days and recall why this project was started. I hope it was so the admins, the player and everyone could enjoy one of the best games ever made.

Raving fan
