So I can play Albion via GeForce Now but it does not count as being played on Steam and therefore AWA. Which is weird because in GeForce now, it's my Steam account listing Albion that I'm clicking on.

If I open Albion directly through Steam it says my email is already registered, link Steam? If I say Yes "An error occurred....". If I say No it goes back to enter my email. If I just let it sit an hour at the login I get Steam/AWA credit.

A little research shows that this is a problem because Albion doesn't like that Steam takes a cut of the micotransactions: https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/85658-Existing-Accounts-Steam/

Also, "If you want to link your existing account where you already play - that's not possible, we only allow to link new accounts that have no playtime. We'll fix the message tho." They've never fixed the message.

Has anyone found a way to get credit via GeForce Now so I don't have to waste over 6GB of space on my drive. Or is there a way to completely delete my email from Albion so I can try to start from scratch through Steam?

I looked it up, you cannot link an existing account to Steam indeed. There should be away to make a new separate account for Steam to use, though! https://steamcommunity.com/app/761890/discussions/0/4027969376956349919/

To use your existing email address with the Steam account, either email Albion's support & ask to delete the account, or change email THERE first, in account settings.

@louvelyn Thank you, changing email is a good idea so the orig gameplay isn't lost. It is still baffling that I created the acct through GeForce Now which uses Steam. When I created it maybe I left Steam in GeForce Now(?)Oh well.

Wait, can we use Geforce NOW to get awa credit?

@halflife1501 Seems to depend on the game and not all games in your Steam library are on GeForce Now. But as long as Steam is registering time played then so does AWA.
