Keep getting an error when I try to log in

[Ky12]

Says error connecting to albion servers whenever I try to log-in to an existing account and linking said account to steam.

Doesn't seem like the server is down. Fix?

yeah, I'm encountering this error as well. Not sure if there is a workaround.

I ended up just making another email. Works fine after. Guess syncing and bounding your progress from an existing account to steam doesn't work right now.

Yeah, I'm still getting the error. I don't want to swap emails cause I've made progress under this one. Guess I wait till they fix it =/

Hello!

Did you by any chance make an account through a different platform? (not steam)

You cannot connect an already existing account with steam, that error message is misleading unfortunately but will be changed soon.

You now have 3 options:

- play on the native client (download through albiononline.com)
- make a new account through steam that is then linked to your steam account
- play through steam but open the game through the launcher file (this is basically like using the native client and you won't get any of the advantages steam usually offers, like the achievements etc)
for the latter:
- right click the game in your library
- manage
- browse local files
- open "game" folder
- use launch_albion_online.exe

I can't even delete my profile and start again on Steam without wasting time doing a back and forth with support to MAYBE get my account wiped.
It is good that you are changing the info as it is misleading and leads to a headache.
I made an account on phone, downloaded it on PC and went to play but cannot.
Waste of time and made me really turned off from the game.
I am 100% not making another email on a game you invest time into either.

I understand the frustration, and I'm sorry that this turned out to be very difficult in your situation

The only thing I can tell you is that if you really want to keep your account, you can still play with it on PC using the workarounds I described above.

That means either you use the launch file from the game folder, or you can download our native client from the website (not through steam)

Unfortunately there is no other way around it
