Whenever i try to log onto faf it gives me the message, "Failed to calculate your unique ID (a part of our smurf prevention system) Please report this to the tech support forum". If anyone knows how to fix this problem please help me.

Hi,
Try disabling McAfee or adding an exception to the uid.exe so that your antivirus doesn't catch it.
You can also uninstall McAfee and install another better antivirus, like Avira.

The file you're looking for is somewhere in C:/ProgramData/FAForever . I don't know the details exactly.
