Steam ID issues

I have issues to log into my new Factorio account (in game).

--- Authentication error on the auth server: Steam ID already paired with another user. ---

Aparently the person i share this computer with, signed into the Factorio site while logged into my steam account, and so the Steam ID was linked to him... I am the owner of said account and i can not log online regardles the fact i just bought the game.

I hope this can be fixed since a big part of the enjoyment of the game comes from Mods and multiplayer.

the ignorant fool signed in the site as Doc_Oktoberfest and my actual username is Lethal_Dictator. just swaping the Steam ID from one to another would be good enough for me.

If necessary I will provide extra Proof/Evidence that i indeed own the game.

I hope to get a response soon.


I apologise for the inconvinience and i apreciate the time spent solving this.

I don't think it is possible to link it that way. You'll have to contact the support per email: support@factorio.com stuff like this can not be handled in the forum.
