@viba agreed

To all:
We need details.
If you can't log in :

What's the name of your account or accounts.
Do you have multiple accounts?
Have any friends or family used the computer for faf?
Have you tried to steam link, if not, do so. Make sure to double check the process.
If steam link didn't work, tell us.

I also cant get into my account, I thought i just had the one, Stockshock. If there are any others feel free to delete them, i tried doing the steam stuff but it doesnt seem to be working and idk what to do. I might have had one called blastoiseboise or something like that, and another called rampart. Im the only person to use this computer, and the steam thing doesnt seem to work

So WTF?!?!

Also: smurfs run rampant for years without them receiving so much as a slap on the wrist and then you suddenly implement some over the top measure that manages to sweep up all sorts of innocent bystanders?

PS: already reported this to Gorton in mumble

These anti-smurf measures were actually in place for nearly 6 years. They were removed for what was supposed to be a short period, then soon(tm) happened, 18 months passed, and here we are today! Sucks huh

This shitstorm could've been avoided with preparation and a transition period. Inform users about the upcoming change, implement UID checks like 1-2 weeks prior to adding the restrictions, telling users if they are going to be affected by the changes, and what they should do in order to fix it. Suddenly slapping the changes on causes so much collateral damage in the community, only part of it is visible in the forums. Sorry if I'm cluttering a "bug report" thread, I'm just very frustrated seeing how things are going currently.

So yeah, when starting FAF it says I have too many accounts linked to my PC but I only have one. It then tells me to link it to Steam, but it needs to have Forged Alliance on Steam (but not installed for some reason??). I don't use Steam and I don't have FA on Steam but a retail version. So even if I link it to Steam, which I won't, it won't work???

PLz fix fast. I can't play my favorite game...

Errrm, just curious. Why wouldn't you link your retail disk key to Steam?? There's literally no downside.

I made the steps to connect to the steam but I still receive the same message, does my game have to be original to play by steam?

@Stockshock your steam account wasn't properly linked, please make sure you follow the process until the end
@Zeratul Smurfs are people who create multiple accounts, and usually they abuse them for bad things.

As you talked to him I need to help me recover my account, I did not understand how to not realize that a player no longer plays with the old account.

It happened to me today, but I gave up my old account and I do not play with it anymore, what do I have to do? Quit my current account? What procedure do I have to do to be able to play again?
