Unique ID found for another user...

[Proim]

So I've been introduced to faf yesterday. After installing everything my girlfriend logged in with her account to show it. Then we made my account and wanted to login but we got this error "Unique ID found for another user. Multiple accounts are not allowed".

So I've searched this forum and seen this has happened before but I didn't find a solution...

There is none. Only one account is allowed per computer in order to not be submerged by smurfs.

So I just can't play? That's it?

[Ze_PilOt]

Use the original account that was created on that PC.

[Gowerly]

If that's his girlfriend's account, then can she not play on her pc, or will that allow him to create his own account when she does?

Is there any way around this? I have 5 computers at my office, and I need to name them Pukster1-Pukster5. Do I have to reinstall windows =P

[pukster]

To make matters worse, I have the same account set up on two computers, so logging into one will log out the other

[Ze_PilOt]

Yes of course. You are not supposed to log twice.

[pukster]

Yes of course. You are not supposed to log twice.

I realize your intentions, but it's not inconceivable that someone will accidentally log into someone else's computer with their FAF account, then that person is forever doomed as they can no longer log in with their own FAF account.

I can revert it manually in these cases. But I won't do it each time your girlfriend is stealing your computer
