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!

    Hi, FAf used to be very statble on my PC but since some weeks I experience a couple of crashes during game. About 5-8% of the games I would say. Crash log below, client log attached as file. Made a RAM check, no error. Any idea? Thanks, Jean Crash log: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at address 0x009279a6 attempted to read memory at 0x00000010 Program : C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe Cmd line

    @Jip said in Offline Line Campaign/Skirmish: You need to host at least one (coop) game through the client. That will retrieve the file in question. Then you can play offline again. The game files are not included with the launcher by default. Thanks for the help Jip, I appreciate it.

    Yeah there is a way since its been done for the english ones. There is tool for unpacking the sounds, unfortunately this breaks the naming so you have to go through all the sounds and rename them back to the correct name. Then you need specific version of XACT and the original fa project files to pack it back together in the correct format and settings. That alone is kinda annoying. After that there's the patching process which is extra manual work for server admins to push the new voice files. And with the current system I dont think there is a way to include it only for those that would use them. It would have to distribute all languages to everyone. Overall I'd say it's not worth it right now.

    Due to stricter security measures to mitigate the DDoS attack, the news-tab (and FAF overall) is currently very aggressive with its bot checks. Please just ignore it for now, until the situation improves. I know it is not very user-friendly, but at least it allows us to keep playing (with occasional hiccups), instead of being locked out of FAF completely. Also, Cloudflare may sometimes say "You are temporarily banned. 1015 Rate Limited" - Just try your action a few seconds later again and it should work.

    Restart PC just in case. Try to check security software if it blocks any FAF related files or process.
