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! Since July 16 I can't join or host any game — FA launches, reaches the lobby, then hangs on "Connecting..." forever. The ICE debug window and telemetry stay completely empty: no peers, no gathering, nothing. From my logs the game processes CreateLobby fine and the client receives GameState Idle → Lobby, but after that no JoinGame / HostGame / ConnectToPeer ever arrives, so the ICE adapter is never asked to connect to anyone. My lobby connection itself looks healthy the whole time (join requests get responses, I even got a game_not_ready error back once, and the game list keeps updating live). Last working game: July 15. Same silent behavior on client 2026.1.0 and after updating to 2026.4.1 — ~12 attempts across 6+ different games.

    @magge said in Why?: @goodgamepleasety Maybe the issue is related to the ICE-Adapter high CPU usage bug. In case you or other readers are not following the Discord thread, I will quote the following: Ravandel said in Discord An alpha test client has been released with a rolledback ice-adapter version. the devs would like you guys to try it out, and let us know if the problem does not appear at all with this alpha test version. This in order to figure out if it is caused by "recent" changes in the ice-adapter or by something else. If it does happen with the alpha test version also then those changes can be ruled out. Note: you can install this alpha version alongside your normal install, and you can play games with other people running the normal client as well. Link: https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/releases/tag/v2024.5.1-alpha-2 I would be grateful if you could test the Alpha 2 client and provide feedback to help narrow down the issue. I came across this thread in dc yesterday. Also yesterday I had 2 consecutive client updates, and I'm now using the 2024.5.1 - alpha - 2 version of the client. I will see if I notice any improvements to my situation.

    Probably so, but the high CPU load is coming from the FAF client, cause usually I don't have anything else open during game. I also check if my pc is updating or anything like that and it's never the case.

    Camera movements with WASD keys rather than arrow keys

    It might even be relatively easy. I think there are only two ways how the arrow keys could be hardcoded into the exe: Using Windows scan codes (raw input): [image: 1716926977706-bd850e39-fed1-4cc4-a260-e413fdde32ef-grafik.png] If the right most hex values were found in the exe in close proximity (0xE04D, ...), they could be exchanged with the corresponding values for WASD (see link). Using Windows Virtual-Key Codes [image: 1716927306093-1b73a278-1d43-4de2-ae88-ccbba14730b2-grafik.png] So in this case these hex values would be hardcoded in the exe in close proximity (0x25, ...), and again could be exchanged (see link, W=0x57 for example). So somebody would just have to use a hex editor to search for a set of these, replace them, and check if it works.

    Hey, if you are in the FAF discord, head over to #mapping-general and we'll help you debug it. But from what I can tell from the error logs it looks like you tried to rename your map improperly. I suspect you renamed the folder of the map, but that's not enough: there are several other locations where you have to rename the file paths. Renaming maps is best done using the "rename map" function in the editor itself, and not done manually unless you know what you are doing.

    504 means you were able to talk to api.faforever.com but it wasn’t able to reach the backend service. So the fact that it started working again after you flushed your firewall rules is just a coincidence. Just noting that in case someone finds this in the future and thinks that if they get a 504 error they can fix it by flushing firewall rules. You can’t. Just wait a bit and try again or notify the server admins.

    Ok, I fixed it by creating a new folder in my Downloads instead of transferring Gas Powered Games to downloads. Thank you for taking the time to help me and have a great rest of your week!

    On a second thought, might also be this assert that fails the first tick: gpAssert( (_controlfp(0, 0) & _MCW_PC) == _PC_24 ); Since setting the _PC_24 flag does not do anything on ARM, when checking the flags, that will be unchanged. First thought - could we disable one of these asserts with a patch? Or somehow pretend the flags are always set as expected on Apple Silicon with _PC_24 set (or redefine _MCW_PC)? However, two more interesting bits of information I found, comparing Intel and Apple Silicon, which seems to hint at calculations using binary64 (double) match but binary32 (single float / 32 bit (24 bit precision)) don't match: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71441137/np-float32-floating-point-differences-between-intel-macbook-and-m1 https://eclecticlight.co/2021/04/22/can-you-trust-floating-point-arithmetic-on-apple-silicon/ If so, that would mean the proper fix would be to replace all single floats in the game with double floats.

    @lothar863 Try adding an exception/exclusion for the FAF Client in both the active scan & firewall sections of your AV software & Windows Security. I would also try clearing the cache of each browser you've tried & then try again. If you still have an issue, then click the Reply button at the bottom between the (View) icon & the "Mark unread" button. Next, open Run (Windows+R) & go to the following: %USERPROFILE%/AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs Sort by Date Modified. From there, drag/drop your client.log file (the Text Document file without the date) into the Reply message window so those that can help (not me) have that data to look at.

    @mostlostnoob You think using a VPN and making my connection in America or somewhere can help mitigate the lag?

    @amygdala said in Game bugs out (runs 1 frame per 5 sec) after someone dies and leaves: @legendofthestars Supreme Score Board got broken some time ago, so be sure to use the fixed version "Supreme score board 2" I had the old version so maybe that was the problem. Thanks for pointing this out.
