updated game, but things arent right?

[c0sm0sftw]

Hi,
I recently picked back up MXBikes, I last played it in 2020 (and didnt buy it on Steam like an idiot) and had the license for the full game. I went to update to 18j yesterday, everything transferred over just fine, but online access says incorrect login, I do not have a mods folder (unless I was supposed to make one myself...)

I'm just new to it all and didnt see a question on this anywhere, and also the spam bots arent exactly making it easier
