    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.

    You have to ask @BLACKHURT But AFAIK it is just a common security issue: "The requested operation requires elevation" Which is related to security software or account permission from windows.

    @zomebody The simulation mostly runs single threaded, so only on one core. depending on you CPU core count 20% might be one core fully utilized for the simulation. Network speed and lan vs. online has no impact on the simulation speed. With bad network connectivity the game will micro stutter instead of the sim actually slowing down.

    Hi guys, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I had tried 'windowed' and 3 numbers separated by commas before, but this was my last attempt (I saw the resolutions for primary_adapter higher up and it had two similar lines for each resolution). I really appreciate that strategic icon scale tip and will give it a go. Thank you. I found the issue. For some reason on the compatability tab of the sc fa properties it was set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7 and run in 640x480 screen resolution was checked. I have no idea why, I have never opened the properties for the game before. This is now resolved.

    To expand on Nex's answer: You have a sound bug which you can tell by the SND/XACT warnings. Simple fix steps are: Windows key > type: Control Panel > Open > Sound > Playback > select the Device you use: Configure > Stereo > finish configuration, Properties: Enhancements > Disable all enhancements, Advanced > no higher than 24 bit, 48000 Hz, Spatial Sound > Off, Restart or Shift+Shutdown (not just Shutdown) of PC If your headphones come with any applet/program, then you may want to disable that & try using the headphones without it. Similarly, if they use a USB or Bluetooth dongle to connect to the PC, see if you can connect directly without the dongle.

    The client has been flaky lately (heh) because all of the architecture behind the client has been DDOS'ed the past weeks. The server admins have put in a lot of effort to combat this but in the end our resources are limited. It also doesn't help that Cloudflare (that we use for file distribution) has been a bit flaky too the past week. All in all I think your experience matches with what is going on; luckily we're working on it and we've even recently made a major step towards stability and we'd love to hear your feedback on that

    @magge Thankyou for your response. I restarted my computer twice. I also re-installed FAF. I also, checked my firewall 'allowed programmes list' as with all the updates something may have snagged on there. It now connects fine. Thanks for your quick response.
