My guess is the same: His WMI service is stopped/screwed.
But it doesn't make sense that faf-uid from Downlords client works. Maybe Downlord uses an older version which does something different?
Could he test the Python client with faf-uid.exe from Downlords client?

Downlord's client doesn't abort if uid fails, it just submits an empty uid to the server, and the server ignores it if the account is linked to steam.

Also, the client already tests if WMI Service is running. So this is a "new" issue.

EDIT: I assume his FAF login is silentwolf123, and that is linked to steam.
