    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%

    @waterbottle said in chat dont work: @brutus5000 said in chat dont work: Please try to logout of the client and then relogin. [image: 1703111178736-5f0b0e05-6d56-415c-a4e8-a42a5e24120b-image.png] 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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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

    I have merged your threads, because numerous threads titled “crash logs” are cluttering and meaningless. Please attach a complete log, not wall spamming bits, then we can get down to the root issue. I have removed the walls, because that is not the complete info, and it is tedious that everyone has to scroll through it. Can you reproduce the crash all the time? If so, what are the steps? Does the crash get fixed by not using any mods?
