So it is not a case of 'not possible anymore' it is a case of 'not possible still'. What you are asking for is not currently possible nor has it ever been possible. It then if its not possible anymore then so be it. When Steam creates a WG account for you can login to and 'complete registration' to create a WG account login, which you can then use to log in to other WG games that are not connected to Steam while staying connected with the same ID. Your account was created via Steam, this is the only way to link an account. That you did not have to edit the client is because you were logging in using a Steam created WG account. The fact that you have Steam achievements also proves that your account is a Steam created account, not an account created outside of Steam. The process you have provided is for creating a set of WG account login credentials using the WG account that is created for you by Steam and cannot be used to connect an existing WG account to a Steam account. I could previously log in to WoWS on Steam only by editing the game files, and I have never been able to use Steam features like achievements or my Steam wallet or buying ships in the Steam store, because my WG account is not linked to any Steam account. For example my WG account predates WoWS on Steam, it predates WoWS entirely. You are correct that WG login credentials can be used to log in to WoWS via Steam without editing the game files as long as those credentials are for an account that is already associated with a Steam account but WG accounts that were not created by Steam cannot be linked to Steam. But I will concede that I must clarify when I say WG account I mean an account created by WG, via or through the WGC launcher or whatever other methods existed to create a WG login before WoWS was also available on Steam. This is the complete opposite of proof that you are using a WG account. Linked email through game and it was done, WG account was connected. Still have steam rewards also on my account and i keep recieving those, but yet not able to play with same account anymore through steam.

With modified login to the game they did not work. I want to play your game on Steam, the Wargaming client is horrible and very unoptimized.I didnt modify game files, i logged in through steam game client.

Wargaming, we're not living in 2005 anymore. Just to name a few games that have cross-progression В Call of Duty, Destiny and Fortnite. If one side of the development team canВ put the same time and enough effort in designing new premium ships, the API development team can put the same time and effort into making a more unified system in place. Just let us sync our accounts, it's really not that hard. What makes the Steam version so different when you still need to sign into your Wargaming account in the main-menu. That's very 2005, where every company wanted to have their own client but in the long-run it failed. Just like how EA games that are newly released on Steam now don't need the EA Client anymore, because the third-party clients are useless. Why can't we sync our older Wargaming accounts to this Steam version yet? The Wargaming Client is ugly and unoptimized, and I feel like I'm not the only to say this but I really don't want to use it, that's the whole point of you releasing it on Steam (to avoid the client).
