FAF requiring steam linking when it shouldn't

Postby schnappy » 17 Oct 2015, 09:15

Hi,
I've previously played FAF using Windows, which I no longer use. I hear FAF works OK with Linux+Wine now, so I am giving it a go.

FAF wants me to link to my steam account because it can see I use Steam, OK... but then it also needs me to own FA on steam which I do not - I have a retail copy. To buy it on Steam is 15 USD which seems silly when I already own FA, and further that I've only ever had 1 FA account and only ever intend to have 1.

Any work around?

Cheers

You can add your CD key to steam and fix it that way I believe. I agree it's a little bit silly...
I'm watching you!
