    Hey @HerbertFreir, I've randomly come across this post. It's a common thing in pretty much every online game that people will flame each other. All it is is a coping mechanism so they must not admit they made a mistake themselves. It's really just the easy way out for being anonymous on the internet. There is no way of saying this is common or uncommon across a community as a whole as it's mostly invididual. Estimating how often it will happen to you is nearly impossible. Sometimes you will be flamed three times a day, sometimes it won't happen for two years straight. But there is a tendency: The bigger and the younger (on average) the community the more likely it is that people will flame, as they don't expect to bump into the other one ever again. FAF is a small, "well aged" community, and therefore less likely to be that way, as you for sure will bump into someone again. What usually helps is narrowing down the amount of anonymity to a minimum by playing with people you know through joining smaller clans / communities. I, for instance, happen to run a beginners group within the FAF Dojo. It's me and my co-trainer running training sessions with up to a dozen trainees (0-1300 rated) three times a week, in the EU evening hours. Our youngest trainee is ~20 years old, our oldest is ~60 years old. We have gay / trans people, furries... We welcome everyone and respect each other. It's about having fun and learning together. If the above is appealing to you and you could make (some of) the training hours, feel free to join our Discord server and reach out to me. If you can not make my specific training hours, please still feel free to join, meet people you could play with, and maybe find another trainer that matches your time zone.

    Have you secured your Discord account since the incident? What steps have you taken to make sure it cannot be used for malicious activity again?

    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%

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

    It would seem they were related to old mods I had been using, i've since disabled them and all seems to be well this far. Thanks for the help

    @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.

    Try to change your default browser to something else, without any extensions, and try again. And check your security/firewall.

    @zappazapper I'm sure that mod does exactly what you wanted, given that it's Jip who removed the function from the base game

    @spacewhales You may not see anything stating that it's blocking FAF specifically, but it may still be doing so. What is recommended is to add an exclusion/exception to the firewall for the FAF Client to allow it through. As for the router, that could very well be a source of issues if it's not allowing you to get proper DNS records, so you might want to consider looking into resetting the router/gateway.

    I know this is a common issue, but I also doubt all the affected people use Pi-Hole or similar products in between their host and DNS Server. However, this made me think that people with this issue reocurring, also could try changing their DNS Server as a step of troubleshooting. Especially those default DNS Servers from ISP's are not very....reliable. Just a thought.

    @boaty-mcboatface You should not have to do it every game. The fact that you do tells me that there's a file permissions issue causing the game to not be able to save changes to the game.prefs file. Have you at any time run the FAF Client or any version of SCFA as Admin?

    I've posted this previously on another post, but for me I have to install Equalizer APO. ( the other post specified my specific configuration, it takes a bit more than simply installing it to ensure it is working ) some trial and error might be required. you can use the configuration editor to add a preamp to ensure it's working. For the arctis 7 usb headset ( amongst others) that have their own quasi surround sound, this is the only method to fix this for me. Even for this particular headset, disabling the 7.1 surround option, and setting it to 2.1 in windows has no effect. A past version of their steel series software did not have this issue. I could set a profile to disable their surround setting for specific exe, but past a certain update, it stopped working, and uninstalling their software all together had no effect ( i suppose maybe it did something firmware wise on the headset, but who knows ) At any rate, there are some pretty nice addons for this software, PEACE GUI. there is also a 7.1 surround add-on called Hesuvi and with some tinkering you can switch back and forth from 2.1 to 7.1 profiles, but that is a lot more advanced and has it's own issues. hopefully this helps.

    There's also an Advanced Target Priorities Tweaked that works as advertised if you prefer something from the vault. Edit: the above is actually from Nomander so pretty weird he didn't mention it! Kudos to you for linking to the original mod.
