thanks alot @MostLostNoob

The conversation regarding Heavenly's issue is continued here & should be documented in a new thread if the issue is not resolved.

@devasto said in strategic icon:

ASI are installed in the folder c:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata.
The file "Advanced strategic icons.nxt" will be there.
You need to change the extension of the .nxt file to .zip.
Now if you unzip this archive you will find all icon textures with the extension .dds.
Now you need to install the mod "Reworked Strategic Icons".
In the folder with the installed mod will be directory "custom-strategic-icons" with files with the extension .dds.
Now all you need to do is copy the dds files from the ASI mod into the "custom-strategic-icons" folder with replacement.
Now you need to enable the mod when creating the lobby.
The lobby should be created 2 times.
Hope this helps.

This is the way!

Thanks!

Did the uninstall and this time looked and noticed that the java files still remained. Deleted the FAF Client folder and turned off autoprotect for norton and reinstalled. Came right up.

@kitfox Try temporarily changing your Default Browser in Windows Settings.

The issue is most probably related to the stored login token and will eventually go away on its own, but logout should enforce this.

My chat hadn't been working since the new update, but I tried this and it worked immediately, thanks!

Scratch that. The chat disconnected again after 10minutes. So there does seem to be something wrong with it still.

No problem, I put in the new version now, so should be fixed.

I remember now. It was an issue on the game side this time since the statistics started being sent in a different format which doesn’t work with the server parsing code. We discovered it last summer but @Jip has not had time to look into it yet.

Beep i have the same problem.
And i so not want too do all that.
But also if i not play Faf quick i will start shaking.
2024 is all ready so hard!

thank you that has fix that one now i get a different one, here is the new log

Hi, I'd suggest trying different maps, AI, and/or AiX cheat modifiers. You could also try fighting multiple AI at once (e.g. a 1v2 or 1v3 game), or playing at a higher game-speed (e.g. the AI will be much harder at +4 speed since its apm is unaffected).

You mention you're turtling - M28 and M27 try not to attack a turtle directly unless confident of winning (since suiciding units into a turtler is usually a bad move), but some AI will be more aggressive. DilliDalli is one such AI, but I'm not sure if it's still working following a patch some time ago. You could also try RNGAI (it's not suicidal in the way DilliDalli is, but my impression is it's generally more aggressive than M27/M28 when it comes to turtlers).

Some maps like astro craters will naturally incentivise turtling play, but if you play on large open maps then if you turtle you'll be left with such little map control that you'll be crushed.

I uninstalled FAF using Windows>Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features
I manually deleted folder C:/Program Files/FAF Client
I re-installed FAF from faf_windows-x64_2023_12_1.exe
FAF then worked fine.
Thank you for your help.

So I have finally found the issue and would like to share the cause:
I use a KVM switch for my 2 displays. Now I have bypassed my main display (have it directly connected) and the crashes are gone.

Sometimes my KVM switch would drop the displayport connection and I have to switch it back and forth. It seems that this dp drop caused the crashes

Thanks, i installed M28ai and that worked!

It doesn't need to disappear. Having non stereo configuration, any enhancements or too high a bit rate can crash the game.
