Raceroom + LFM

[hazy wedge]

I deleted my LFM account back then. Now I have the problem that I cannot create an LFM account with my Steam account. What can I do now? I would like to drive Raceroom at LFM. I bought all the content for RR and don't want to spend the money again. Do you have any ideas?

[vernal niche]

This might be something worth asking on the LFM discord tbf, they have a dedicated Raceroom channel for feedback and help.

Thanks for your answer...I had already created a support ticket, unfortunately I only got the answer that I should/must create a 2nd Steam account. And unfortunately I can't create a new LFM account with my existing Steam account.

[dry lark]

Just do a 2nd account and give that account the rights to play your main account games via the family game lend function . Best solution to the problem as far as I am concerned.
Still not sure if that fix the content issue , also not sure if you can play on the same profile in raceroom with that .

[woven drift]

I could imagine that a dev could transfer content from one to the other account and then make the first one unavailable 🤔 maybe

[hazy wedge]

All the Content?

Thanks for your help anyway

[hazy wedge]

I have read that the transfer of rights of use only exists for one account and that a transfer is not possible...

[dawn bear]

his second account would be able to run the game, but it won't have the first account's content because it's not saved on Steam's side

[dawn bear]

it is possible in some selected cases. they can probably help you too

[hazy wedge]

Thanks for your help!

but it's baffling that deleting your LFM account makes it impossible to use your Steam account again on LFM. how, why is this even a thing?

[stoic bridge]

we prevent re-registering for permanently banned users with this

[errant schooner]

But that means that there is a database of all registered steam accounts somewhere floating about right? Doesn't it have a tag if the steam account is related to a banned account?

[stoic bridge]

we don't store the SteamID for a deleted account, only a crypted hash (which we can't decrypt) , GPDR Topic

[errant schooner]

Oh, that is understandable

Bit unfortunate tho 😅

[dawn bear]

putting banned accounts and those that were deleted by the user in the same list is just as weird. or am I getting it wrong and the guy who opened the thread was banned before he deleted his account?

[stoic bridge]

banned players tend to let the account deleted

[dawn bear]

that's a different thing. the question is, you store the information that tells if this particular Steam user had a relationship with your system in the past, but you can't store the information who terminated the relationship?

GDPR has been a thing for quite some time and from what you said it sounds like European companies must have a big issue with how to deal with banned users. yet, this is the first time I hear about it. I'm trying to connect the dots

[stoic bridge]

We warn every User twice this is not revocable. 1st in the Deletion Request and 2nd within the confirmation message the User has to confirm

[dawn bear]

well, my question is not about what you do, but why

and I'm sorry for the tone of my comments. now I'm only confused about why it's even an issue. if this is really the only way to comply with GDPR I'm quite interested to know about that

[stoic bridge]

as already written to prevent banned users from creating a new LFM account with their Steam account to avoid the ban

[dawn bear]

then why not keep only the hashes of banned users? because for now it sounds like instead of that you keep them in the same list as users who simply deleted their accounts and you can't distinguish between them

[hazy wedge]

No i wasn‘t banned….

[errant schooner]

nobody was implying that, but removing your account and making a new one could in theory bypass the banning process. So it has been made impossible to use a steam account to create a new account after you deleted an old account using that same steam account

[hazy wedge]

Technically I understand all this and thank everyone involved, I work in It myself and also deal with databases and identities....I'm out of luck if there's no option....but I won't be switching between 2 Steam accounts and/or buying the RR content again.

[dawn bear]

which makes no sense. in order to keep banned people away they need to only keep hashes of banned people's accounts, not all deleted accounts

[errant schooner]

I never said if it made sense or not 😄

[dawn bear]

ah, okay 😅

[gusty iron]

Hi, did you solve your problem??? I have the same one 😂

[pulsar shoal]

It's an LFM issue, would try it there
