How to Connect After Authentication

[PoquitoDondito]

INTRODUCTION
NOTE: This guide assumes you have either successfully authenticated with Funky Station by opening a ticket and having a member of staff link your account, or you linked your account before the main authentication servers were shut down. If you do not qualify for that, please visit: https://discord.com/channels/1276640157 ... 5600818216 to open an authentication ticket.

Please remember to read all the text carefully, and go through step by step. There are some temporary steps we've had to implement which are important to getting your launcher set up correctly to be able to play on funky or our partner servers, and not doing those can delay being able to play.

P.S. You only need to follow the instructions for the operating system that you have, please do not follow multiple different operating systems' guides.

1. Set your password for your SS14 account on the funky forums
a. Go to User Control Panel, then click on profile, and then Link Space Station Account (do NOT go to Edit Account Settings and change your password there, there is no need to do this, and only affects your password on the forum, not in the launcher):

b. Once you are here, do NOT unlink your profile (if you need to link a profile, I believe you need to go to the top of this guide and open an AUTH ticket). Instead, set your password here. This is NOT your forum password, it is the one you will use for the Space Station 14 launcher:

   a. Here is how to do it in the client, just left click on steam, look at the bottom, and press exit:

Returning to the official authentication servers (Wizden’s authentication servers): To return to wizden authentication, run the above steps, but on step 5, type:
