When u run it for the first time the game asks / 'll give u a ID.
U need to know your previous ID number i think and enter that to be able to play with the characters u created on the servers from last installation.
U probally noticed the game doesn't even remember the servers u played on, after u insert ur old ID, it 'll recognize u again.

No... this is how FL "controls" account comprimising... when you first install and connect to multiplayer it shows you a little screen with your multiplayer serial number... is says to write this number down because in the event of a reinstall you need to reenter this code... there is nothing wrong with your game....

You are going to get a new ID code every time you install FL

yeah ive done all that but it wont accept my old id numbers,it just says invalid number,

Sollution is very simple then, the number u entered is not the correct number u played with last time.

Either that, or you're not entering the number correctly, especially if you printed it out. Problem is, the font they use to show you the number for printing is REALLY hard to read. 0's look like D's and 5's look like S's... among other things. You really have to scrutinize the font characters.

When I installed the game at work, and then brought it home and tried to input my MP code it took me about 5 tries to really get every digit in there correctly. Really bad design move, it should print out in basic Arial or Courier.

So you might have either copied it down wrong from the original installation, or are inputting it wrong into the new installation... or both
