    Apparently the original SupCom playerbase is so committed to the game that they have been maintaining and updating it since the game's release in 2007! The project is called Forged Alliance Forever and now has so many features I can't reasonably name them all. This is a fully functioning project, but continues to receive regular updates.

    To link your Steam copy of the game files to your FAF account go to your Steam profile page and edit profile:

    Then go to "My Privacy Settings" and set your game details to public so that the client can verify you have a legitimate copy.

    After your FAF client has verified you own the game, you can return your profile settings to private if you want that.
