I did paste the code over the actual password by using ctrl+v, worked fine. So my guess maybe they clicked on the dots and made the old game password "unselected" and pasted the code in the middle of the used game password.
Not all players uses forums, or even knows how to navigate a forum. Heck, some may even not know LFS has a forum
Therefore they may not have heard about the game password change and just tried to enter their old game password. I just activated two of my accounts with the unlock code and that worked just fine.
First of all, thank you for your help and offer my best regards. It was an honor and a pleasure to have you respond and assist me. Thank you, I have now received my license. Thank you!
I think this is a good point. Scawen did try to make it visible by adding a fake event into the LFS calendar. What about sending out newsletter emails after such an important change? Or is that planned only after a new official patch?
Do you want less security of people's LFS accounts and a bigger probability of them being hijacked and stolen in case of another 3rd party site data leak?
Your post adds no value, at least add some reasoning to your claim.
That doesn't change. We still need to have the limits, otherwise there will be a username and unlock code somewhere on the internet that anyone can use to freely access LFS content.
I've checked and it does work. Some people have had this, when it apparently does not work, but does work when they try again. Please make sure there are 20 characters (blobs) in the GAME password field before you click "unlock".
Today I will improve LFS.exe:
- insist on the correct number of characters (to reduce copy and paste errors)
- provide an "EYE" button to show the unlock code
- update the translations
I prefer not to send a newsletter yet, I think it would be better when there is a patch and we've made sure there are no bugs in the system.
No, "grotesque" is describing my own situation, there is a misunderstanding here, because u see an implicit where there is none, I didnt mention the update at all.
Grotesque wasn't meant as an insult, but as something funny and ridiculous like in a Benny Hill show.
A regrettable misunderstanding that lead to high level of forum toxicity. I take alot of care to avoid implicits, but that wasnt enough obviously, sorry about that.
I hope it's clear now.
For any translators who would like to update the website translation, I've updated the translation system and started a new thread to let me know if you've done an update so I can make it go live. https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/112033
I'll send a notification email to all the translators after I've done the in-game translations.
