FAF server is currently going through short maintance. For more news check out the discord server, there will be message when the server is back up. @Deli

@panch0_osan exactly the same problem!

еще вижу там музыка
warning: SND: Error playing cue 1 on bank 5 [music]
XACT: Invalid arg
пыталась играть и не смогла
посгляди сюда: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/3494/gamecrash-in-every-game/2

ну и наверно у меня идеи кончились
думаю тебе в случае если проблема не решена, будет не лишним сходить в дискорд и там спросить, может кто то более понимающий в проблеме быстрее откликнется и поможет.

@brutus5000 said in Different Game.prefs for client and game on linux:

So far we have no way to set the game.prefs location directly. Someone could add it but there is not much demand for that.
I roughly checked the code and the only point where the game.prefs is required is for
a) an experimental feature to run replays sideways to a game (watch replays while lobby sim)
b) read your last active mods

This should not cause your ability to break the game. We'd need logs to check on why that happens.

how is there no demand!!!!
the game throws its files in different places.
something is in the STEAM folders, something is in the wine/proton folder, something is in .faforewer, something incomprehensible and hidden (.com.faforever.client.FafClientApplication) lies in the HOME directory, for some reason this mess is being created: "/home/dav/My Games/Gas Powered Games/Supreme Commander Forged Alliance"

while you put things in order and put everything in one place, the game breaks down... or laziness will win to look for all these configuration files and edit links

there is a demand and some more, it's just indecent to beg.

@tosha_kot said in problems with the cooperative:

I've decided everything I don't need any help

а как решил не напишешь?

how did you solve the problem, will you not write?

@saltyelbow works well

Все я решил проблему .

Connection timed out: no further information

Well, you lost your internet connection, something blocked your connection or the server dropped your connection.

You need to give us more information, what you were trying to do.

@magge It’s only an issue on mobile (safari). Never had it happen to me on desktop.

@SaltyElbow you can make a post on the forum or you can send a message in the #client-bug-reporting channel on the FAF discord. If it happens that the exe is running in the background and you have to kill it with the task manager, that would be a good thing to report I think.

I also just remembered that if you’re the host of the matchmaker game it should open almost immediately after match found, but if you’re one of the other 7 players it will wait for the host to start their game first which could take up to 1 minute before it will time out.

@saltyelbow You must use a patrol order and your acu will prioritise killing an enemy over getting reclaim.
It is common to manually use your acu to grab reclaim as fast as possible.

@SexyNemo It looks like some of the installed jars are missing. Although normally this stops the client from starting at all. You can try removing all the install folders of the client and reinstalling and making sure no anti virus is removing files.

@magge Windows 10
Windows Defender does not work

Check that your antivirus and firewall aren't blocking hydra.faforever.com or any other faf domain

@amygdala Thank you very much for clarifying that! It worked, I can finaly enjoy FAF again. 🙂

There are many threads about this error. It is related to your sound driver/system.

Please, go through the following threads for a possible solution.

Make a list of what you have tried, in case it does not work, then post this list here, so we can narrow it further down.

The error message tells me the downloaded patch files are corrupt. Easiest way is to delete them.
C:\ProgramData\FAforever\gamedata and/or C:\ProgramData\FAforever\¢ache\featured_mod

If that is the case, then FAF is almost certainly leaking sockets. My system only has ~200 TCP sockets open at idle, and only ~10 of those are in active use at any given time.

I wrote a little script to monitor it and log the TCP port count and activity. Hopefully my next game will reveal the issue.

Responding to an old thread to try and provide insight in to how I fixed a niche flavor of this issue on my machine.

I've been running FAF on a 2-in-1 laptop (with pen + tablet functionality) that was primarily static on my desk. With this laptop, when you physically rotate it it will rotate the screen 90 degrees such that you can take notes, read, etc.

Ended up bringing it along to a hotel, and started having this issue. FAF can't handle portrait orientation, and as a result of my machine being in my backpack vertically for some period of time, it somehow got stuck in a weird state where it was showing that it was landscape on the display settings screen, but some bit was flipped to say that it was portrait. I flipped my laptop on its side once, and then back to normal and everything works fine now.

Hopefully save some other poor soul the headache of troubleshooting that one....
