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.
Any suggestions? Trying with the new Rust client, host a game one minute later i get a note saying:
The room you hosted no longer exists and has been disconnected.
I've tried all the different adapters java, experimental... Nothing seems to help
Any suggestions?
Oh ya, the old java client may host but disconnects in 5-10 seconds...
When attempting to login to FAF using the https://hydra.faforever.com/oauth2/device/verify link, it gives a webpage with an error "I'm sorry. but your browser is not supported" error. This happens using Firefox or Chrome.
Attempting to click Play Offline fails with an error:
Uh Oh!
The game could not be started.
This happens because the game directory is not in the C : drive, but on D :
However, there does not appear to be any way to change where FAF is looking for the game.
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).
issue was in Advanced Selection Extension, its a bug in lua script (smartSelection used StringJoin that brokes).
Details : ASE swaps in its own copy of the game’s smart-selection function, and that copy was written for an older FAF version that had a helper called utils.StringJoin. A later FAF update removed that helper (the game now uses string.join), but ASE’s copy still called it. So the call crashed, the game swallowed the error silently, and the ASF hotkey selected nothing.

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
