MadukBot 121 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 I have this too.. I'm scared by the 'You can do this only once'.

MadukBot 121 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Ok, on Steam someone posted this and it worked for me. So what I did was hit log in with Gaijin account, then just pressed Steam login. It worked! To anyone who sees this, atleast for me this was the fix! good luck So a little edit, after you hit the Gaijin Login that takes you to a 'new login page' where you login with steam.

sardinha08@psn 3,179 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 It's amazing how after all the years this game exists we still have to face things like this without any explanation why. Not to mention that it's not clear enough and it kind of suggests that if you do it wrong you will lose all your progress. Avoidable and unacceptable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just to be safe, pick Gaijin Login and use your email and password. This window will only bother you once upon first launch of the game on new PC. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens sometimes is people creating new steam-generated account accidentally that doesn't have any progress obviously. And they freak out, when in reality all they have to do is use their email and password to login and play with their proper account. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estorm732 1,499 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 Can I check if my account is linked to Steam or not? As far as I understand, playing the game over Steam does not guarantee a Steam login. And although I feel like I have done it, I had auto log-in checked so I can't really recall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balls_of_Steel_ 283 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) If you login with steam account and a friend of yours ever used his account on your PC, there is a high chance you will be loging in as him. Then all you have to do is go to profile and switch user, from there you can redo the whole process if you get stuck.

Launch the game via Steam login button, then go to your profile in the hangar. If you don’t see link email button there, it means you’re already linked. Anyhow, like I said, don’t panic - you can always use “switch user” button in the profile and get back to initial login screen. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studs42906 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2019 I have the same problem. I already had an account at the gaijin website which I used now to log into the game. But I never bound my steam login to the e-mail adress before. So after I logged in I got of course the new account with nothing in it ...just the basic vehicles which you get in your starter set. How do I get my stuff back? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use “switch user” button in your profile in hangar, then login via email as usual. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the same message 2 days in a row when opening the launcher in steam. I logged in both times with my Gaijin login and not steam. Am I going to see this screen every time I login from Steam? Should I just forget steam and use the launcher? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is strange, it should show up only once on the same PC. Try logging in with Steam maybe, you are linked already anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalbKana 1,372 Report post Posted March 15, 2019 Last night I didn't get that message, but I did get something new. From the steam library I click play. The launcher opens. I click play. A few of the normal loading screens later I am in the hangar. No click to choose steam login or gaijin. No daily login reward.
