Then follow these easy steps to play FAF

1 - Download and install FAF

Download the FAF Client and install it. FAF is open source and safe to use.
If your Windows computer stops you from running FAF, click on "More info" and you'll be able to run it.
This happens because FAF doesn't pay Microsoft for security certifications. So it's an "unrecognized app" for Windows.

2 - Run FAF and find your SC:FA directory

Run FAF and log in with the same credentials you used for your FAF account.
