@nex said in keep getting two errors when trying to join a game or create a custon game:

@chamone maybe the permissions on the faf directory are wrong and it can only be opened/run by an admin?
fixing that should be the better solution as running any program that doesn't need it with admin rights is a bad idea.

FAF runs fine from Program Files with only read and execute permissions. That is the default install location and the default permissions.

Nice, that makes my life easier.

Toggling one faction should already do the trick. You just need to trigger the client to send your faction selection to the server again.

@mostlostnoob it kind of helped. Thank you friend

@xxsunrainxx said in Urgent Assistance Needed for Map Upload!:

I urgently need help.

No you don't. This is not urgent

Thanks, removed and working!

@snowbiltz If that still doesn't work, keep posting, we'll get to the bottom of it!

The blueprint loading process crashed. This is likely related to a (sim) mod 🙂

I have had the same issue with the client, FAF just disconnects randomly, everything else is still connected to the internet... Only started recently, maybe 1-2 weeks ago...

@magge said in Solutions for common errors with the FAF client launcher or supreme commander:

Something is blocking the client to have access to the internet, or you have a very unstable connection.

Check if your internet connection is stable
Check if firewall is blocking the access
Disable security software for testing purpose
Try a VPN from a different country

The idea is quite old from Equilibrium. The implementation is new though and there are refinements incoming to make it more user friendly 🙂

also caused from missing gfx device

My advice: (between knowledge and guesswork)

Reboot your PC (yes this is important) install directX 9c delete game.prefs file (C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Gas Powered Games\Game.prefs) start the game without launcher to create a user/player (doubleclick on C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe) start a game with FAF launcher enable mods

I found this thread describing the same issue, try the fix they found and see if it works. https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/10dyt4h/newb_trying_to_install_you_need_to_install_an_app/

how many people acutally dont know this. you ask for re faf and they close the game 😄 bet this happens a lot

Things that were mods get forced into your game and enabled by default, but probably missing functionality you wanted, then you get a patch that lets you turn them off, then they get removed and go back to being mods again. It's the new nightmarish cycle of trying to use your UI in FAF.

Thanks !!!! I will try.

It is called Distribute Orders, see also:
