3rd Party Setup Confused

ThrownOutAtHome · 04-22-2022, 12:25 PM

Just bought the Steam version and I'm confused already. I bought the game 5 years in a row from the official OOTP site without any problems.

Here is what it says for steam version:
Requires 3rd-Party Account: A free, optional OOTP Developments account is required to enjoy Challenge Mode or Perfect Team Mode. It can be easily set up in-game.

Where can I find this so "Easily" set up in game? I have searched for 40 minutes now. I know PT is coming soon but I want to play in Challenge Mode and signed in.

Any help would be appreciated because I'm eager to PLAY BALL!

Yep I searched all over for how to log into anything and there just isn't any obvious place to do it. I feel like it used to be on the main screen in past years but right now it is missing.

It's the login for Perfect Team, which is not in the initial release. Not sure if there's any other way of creating the account though. You may have to wait for Perfect Team to be included.

Yeah I thought it was on the original screen. This is more than frustrating. I don't want to start my season if I'm not going to get credit for earning achievements or win challenge mode player packs.
I wonder if they have the same problem in the non-steam version?

Yeah I remember in on the main screen. I wonder if they have this problem in the non-steam version???

It's the same on the non-Steam version. The PT login - which is also used to log into Challenge Mode - isn't there atm. Totally understand not wanting to launch into your main sim absent Challenge Mode. But think of it as time to play a way you never have before or explore some of the new additions. That's the positive spin, if I could offer one...

Good idea LansdowneSt That is what I'm going to do.
Thanks
