Step 1: Link your Forum Account to your Steam Account​

(you may have already performed this step as it has been available for a few months now)

Open up your EmbersAdrift.com account page. Here you should see a new option called "Link My Steam Account"

This will show a modal popup with a button to "Link My Forum Account".

Clicking this button will take you to your forum account preferences "Connected Accounts" option:

Click the "Associate with Steam" button which will take you to the following Steam webpage:

Sign in here to associate your Steam ID to your forum account. Our back-end needs this information for the next step.

Step 2: Permanently Link Your Local Game Account to your Steam Account​

Return to your account page and once again click the "Link My Forum Account" button from above. You should be shown a new modal:

Step 4: Launch the game and login with Steam​

When launching the game through Steam you will be presented with two login options: Steam Login, and Legacy Login:

• Steam Login: logs in with your Steam credentials and allows you to purchase a subscription.
• Legacy Login:allows you to continue to use your forum username & password.
  • Using this method will not provide any subscriber perks and has been left in place to allow those with multiple accounts to access those characters (keep in mind that non-subscriber accounts only allow for two active characters). To gain subscriber perks on a secondary account you will need a second steam account to purchase a subscription.

Logging in via Steam will bypass the need for any username/password and instead will use your SteamID to validate ownership and subscription status:
