WELL....I guess I give up.

I think this discussion defeats the purpose of the topic.

My man people should be allowed to discuss things (rats should be allowed to argue pointlessly) wherever it develops naturally

@arma473

I don’t know why you got the impression I disagreed with that sentiment. I’m saying that Steamlink shows a deliberate effort on the part of FAF to do as you said, officially mandate that all copies of Forged Alliance associated with FAF accounts are legal. You can circumvent this, but this no longer FAF’s responsibility. Just like you can pirate Roms for your SNES emulator instead of ripping them from a cartridge as recommended (with no enforcement or verification system). The emulator creators have zero legal responsibility in that case, even though I would argue that in their case they know 99% of their users are gonna pirate.

It goes without saying that Square Enix could go after FAF regardless, but this makes it less likely. The fact that FAF has made a good faith attempt to combat piracy does matter.

@spikeynoob OK....I am upset at this.. and I apologize for the outburst.

I still can't access the client.

This still sucks.

ok?

@deletethis Then clear me up.

@noonecares Do you use the client for maps/mods?

@scout_more_often My name is Richard, and you don't know me.

@zokora You are right....I have just had a lot of problems with this login thing.....

I apologize.

It's not the people....actually this is the absolute BEST RTS game I have ever seen. I guess that's what makes me get upset at potentially loosing access to the client....it's important. I suppose we will figure this out eventually.

Thanks.

@mandofan58 did you try resetting your password through steam? https://forum.faforever.com/topic/278/i-lost-access-to-my-account-what-should-i-do

It’s a common problem that people have where they forget the password to their FAF account that they linked originally so they try to make a new account. If you need help you can also always ask a moderator on the discord and they can clean up your extra account.

@askaholic Thank You for your help. I managed to figure out the problem, which was an old account and a newer account mixing up. I much appreciate your help.

@mandofan58 I feel I should apologize to the community over my outburst.

I Apologize....I went too far.

Was a mixup over an older account and passwords, etc....

I will say that if there is a way to streamline this process further it would help....especially from Steam. If you could register the FAF information in steam and have a process from steam, that would be the best way (probably not possible, of course...)

Thank You.

@mandofan58 It takes a big man to apologise and admit fault, good on you! We all understand your passion, we love this game too, hope to see you on the field of battle

A thread with a good result! How rare!
