@resin_smoker When you're able, please go to FAF Client > top left menu > Settings, then take screen shots of these fields & post them here:
- Forged Alliance Forever > Game Location
- Data and Caches > Data Location
Also, please confirm if that when you go through the process to link your FAF account with your Steam account to verify ownership of SCFA, that you see a Flash Message stating that you've successfully linked your account to Steam. If you see a red message that the Steam account is linked with another FAF account, then you need to login to that FAF account. If you don't remember the login credentials for that FAF account, then you can use the Reset via Steam
option on the Password Reset page to get back into the FAF account that's already linked to Steam.
