Can't log in [Solved]

[Bix]

Hi there

So my problem is that I can't log in to FAF. I have an error message "Unique ID found for another user. Mulitple accounts are not allowed".
I already reported this using the "report a bug" function.
I also searched a bit and found a post wich say that computers and accounts are linked. I don't know if it's true but I'll explain :
I have created my account on my laptop and want to log in to my desktop (I don't play online with my laptop, that's just for lans and if I log in to FAF that's for download maps) to play online.

also : What I can't understand is that my brother can log in my desktop, but I can't.. He didn't created his account on my desktop, like me, but he can log into it.

thanks for anwsers

Account A created on Laptop
Account A used on PC

(new created) Account B can now be used on Laptop but not on PC
If you want to use account B on PC you need to go to another PC and login with Account A

the PC is locked to the last accout that was logged in

I correct :
Account A created on Laptop
Account A used on PC(A) and laptop

Account B created on PC(B)
Account B used on PC(B) and, sometimes, on PC(A)

A=me
B=my bro

the PC is locked to the last accout that was logged in

So I can't log into my own PC ??
No way to change the lock from B to A ?

The reason why you get the message "Unique ID found for another user is, that FAF only allows one account per PC. This is to prevent smurfing. The system locks the computer to the account that was the last one to be logged in on that PC. That means:

Account A was logged in one time on Computer A = Account B cannot be used on Computer A

But you can unlock a PC by logging in from another one that means:

Account A logging in on PC B = Account B can now be used on PC A = Account B cannot be used on PC B

Ok but I only have right now PC A and laptop..
So if I understand I can't log in to my desktop cause my bro has logged in before me, and to unlock it he has to lock to another computer so : my laptop. But he will be unable to do that cause the laptop is locked by me ..
I don't know what to do ..

Don't take it wrong, but the system is crappy..

EDIT : ok I've found a solution. My bro will connect to his PC with logmein and then I should be able to connect myself with my desktop.
Thanks for the answers and sorry for the no use of the wiki, I didn't seen it when searching (I may have a problem with red text)

I'll update the topic if it works
