@brutus5000 That doesn't make sense because we have been playing for years on the client, and once the account is linked to Steam it cannot be unlinked. He tried to link his account last night and it said it was already linked as well. But that's fair, please look further into the issue later! Have a good night.

@brutus5000 He gave me his login information so it's not just his computer this issue is occurring on but mine as well so I figure it's got to be something with his account itself. He can log on to the FAF website, but can't get into the client. He's already tried re-linking the account with Steam as well as re-syncing the account on the webpage.

@brutus5000 His username is Godfather123 and he works awful hours, wheras I am on vacation so I am helping him with this.

This was in the client log, and yes he re-installed it as well as the game itself just to be sure and still the same error occurs.

@sheikah That is correct.

@sheikah He has done that, it says his account was already linked but when he tries to login even after confirming the account is linked, it still displays the error.
