The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!
FAF's rules are set out on the main FAForever website - by accessing FAF services, you agree to the rules outlined there, which are supplemental to the FAF Terms of Service.
For details of how to report rule breaches and/or how the rules are enforced, please refer to the separate page on moderation
Separate contribution guidelines exist for those considering contributing to FAF, while there are also official tournament rules that apply to official FAF tournaments.
When i tried to copy the link i got an error that some token is invalid or something like that. I don't want to reproduce it as it is quite the hassle to log in if that doesn't work.
What if i tell you that i still run Win10? When you take care and don't click every link and open every .pdf.exe, you can get through with a lot of outdated software.
edit: bloody hell how do i turn off auto-emoji-formatting?...
Thanks for your replies, I tested Eternal Strategic Icons, in combination with Penguin's Icon Mod and ACU Highlight (those three mods seem to be compatible), and it looks a lot nicer with the size increase of 150%
Since you referenced my pull request: it was never done to be able to actually play with it. I just need it to run the client and test FAF things while I mostly use a macbook
Resources are kinda unorganized so I'll point you to what is needed. It's a relatively simple mod:
set up the mod_info.lua (modding intro)
add the mod's lobby options file (guide).
Make your new lobby option with the same key as the default lobby option, which is UnitCap (source).
Have you noticed this part of the error:
An Application Control policy has blocked this file
Have you checked which software/Smart App Control/policy is causing the block?
2026.7.1 is not a test version of the client and no changes to connection logic were made compared to 2026.7.0.
2026.7.1 should be able to play with anyone. Most likely it was just antivirus or some other network issue.
@lukakg It is a shame that you were treated like that. You have already reported it, further escalation is not necessary at this point.
I have removed the image in question from the first post, which contained profanity via DMs between the users in question.
Such public shaming is not a path we take.
Everyone can make poor decision and regret it on the next days. Rough waters can happen sometimes, but there are always lifeguards around.
That being said: Welcome to FAF!
With OP's request addressed, I am going to close this thread for now.
If you want to upload your modification of an existing mod, you need the authors permission.
Not sure what you mean regarding "patch". The authors mod will not be overwritten by changes someone else does.
If you cannot reach an author (which wont be the case here, he is active in the faf discord) you can open a vault ticket on discord.
@c0rtex i might need educate myself on how torrents work, cause i have two devices with partually downloaded things, and they are not seeding somehow
usually it just works
