Play on multipe PC´s with different Accounts

Postby Andy1965 » 20 Aug 2014, 19:56

Hello!

My son and I play on different PC´s (PC´s, Notebook).

But we get the "lock a message"!?

How can we play on different PC´s or Users?

Our FAF User Names are "Andy" and "Daniel".

Thanks for help.

Normally it should not be a problem to have two accounts on two PCs, but: If you login as a user on one PC then this PC is locked to that specific user (if you want to deal with that have a look at the "steamlink", but in your case: Try to login as the other person on the other PC (eehh sucky sentence) --> I mean log in as Andy on the PC you were trying to login as daniel and the other way round, basicly in the way you created the accounts.

Sound confused :-D

I have two PC´s and one Notebook. My son have his own PC at (mothers)home.

Sometimes he wants to play at home but he registered his account on the notebook. He can play on my 2nd PC but NOT on his PC at home!? Message: user cannot play with multiple accounts.

Some guests, we want to play in LAN party, cannot play on my notebook, message: this pc is locked to user "Daniel".

Everyone have his own profile (w7,8.1).

This ist really horrible.

Is there no solution? Without Steam :-/!

Thanks

You can have multiple computers per account but not multiple accounts per computer (unless you do the steam linking). This was done to prevent people smurfing. So basically whoever logged in first onto a computer. its locked to that account. If you both own FA on steam (if you have disc copies you can enter your code into steam to get supcom gold edition) then you can link the accounts and you will both be able to log into on all the pcs as long as every account is steam linked.
