Tell us how to detach from Steam and login directly
I think there was a way? Please inform of the procedure to do so. The time this login problem is taking is abnormal.

Three steps:
  1. Add account
  2. Select your server region
  3. Either
    • click blue Steam button on the very right
    • OR enter email and password (not email of your Steam account, you need to complete in-game registration to have an email-address linked to your WoWS account)

Hi, you don't need to unlink the account from Steam and please don't do that, because it's not that easy to relink it back.

You can log into the same account using WGC game client (unfortunately you'll have to download it from scratch, there's no easy way to reuse Steam client files). To log in either use email and password (if you've completed your account) or choose log in "with social media account" and choose Steam (blue icon on the very right side).

Oh, and also make sure that correct game region is selected when adding account. I'll add a screenshot in a minute.

Download the launcher from the website - Link accounts to your War Gaming and steam accounts (this might not be working with the issue) and then use the War Gaming launcher and NOT steam to open the game!
Good Luck!
A developer of this app has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Thanks.

Works like a charm. Thanks again. :)

All it took was downloading the WarGaming Client app, click Log In from the left panel, as you showed, then I clicked Import Game and just dragged the WoWS desktop icon and dropped it on the pop up window.

You're welcome, but actually login issue seems to be fixed, have you tried logging via Steam again?

Sorry, i don't fully understand — do you mean that you were able somehow import Steam WoWS client? Or what did you import? Where does that desktop icon lead to?

Just want to verify that i'm not missing any new info :)

Its the icon made by Steam, they do not clearly indicate where they lead to. It worked somehow. After that Steam got their stuff together and WGC was not needed.

Ah, it's just "steam://run/552990" command launching Steam version. It can't be easily imported.

So it can be imported somehow? I tried specifying the game folder to WGC but to no avail. Not sure how the shortcut drop worked, or if it really did work with WGC and Steam wasn't back on its feet by then tbh. WGC does not detect the game folder as it is. Any idea how to make it do so without having to download a whole new 60 GB installation? Just in case for the future.
