Unable to login, "Unique ID"

Postby FrostBite557 » 22 May 2012, 14:53

Hello,
I'm new to the forums and I've searched and found plenty of topics relating to this, without any solution except for one of the admins of FAF doing something.
My friend showed me FAF so we could play the game online, fresh install of Windows 7. I installed it and made an account, no problem. (Account is FrostBite557)
So I tried to log in and a message comes up: "Unique ID found for another user. Multiple accounts are not allowed" :?
Please help! Thanks. ;)

You already have an account named " FrostBite". That's why.

I seem to have run into a awkward situation

I was attempting to create a account for the FAF lobby for a friend.
I was unaware at the time of the restrictions that were in place to detect multiple accounts.

Somehow we have managed to switch the identities of the accounts with each others computer (my account is locked on his computer and visa versa)

Is there anything that you are able to do to fix this?

Regards

Sorry but you will have to find a way to switch it. They are not locked, but you can't use two different one on the same computer at the same time. But if you login with your account on another, totally different computer, yours is now free.
