@eternal yeah that was it, for some reason my windows default browser path was broken. i fixed it and the login works now, thanks for the help!

today i tried to come back to faf for the first time in a while. i updated the client but there is no login (name and password) fields anymore, just a "log in with browser" button that just does nothing when i click it. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the clinet but it didn't change anything.

here's a picture:

anybody know what is the problem here? like i said, clicking the "Log in with Browser" button does nothing, and "Play Offline" just gives me this error manage:

maybe it is possible to make a mod that simply removes all reclaimables (rocks, trees, initial wrecks) from the map at game start? then people could play maps without initial reclaim and see how it actually affects the way games are played out. it would probably make games slower overall, but how much is hard to say.
