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.

    Try switching your default browser in Windows Settings & then try to logging in with browser again. Some browsers have difficulty completing the authentication process. If you still have issues, then please open Run (Windows+R), then copy/paste this into the prompt: %USERPROFILE%/AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs Click OK. This should open the logs folder that FAF uses. Inside, you should see a client.log file (the Text Document, not the .gz compressed file). Post that client.log file into here so those that can help (not me) have that data to review.

    Switching back to stereo on my headphone sound system fixed the problem. I had headphones on 7.1 surround sound.

    Hello, please check your antivirus program. FAF sometimes requires authorization from you when installing a client update.

    @uveso Thank you very much for your reply! Very helpful, I will try to troubleshoot these. In addition, my game will crash in about 10 minutes on a 20KM map. I also sent a post with my three game logs in it, could you also check what the problem is? https://forum.faforever.com/topic/6322/the-game-crashed-after-a-while-on-a-20km-20km-map

    bot killing the game

    @morrissey21 said in bot killing the game: Additionally, I'm facing another issue where my game files are linked to my OneDrive, including maps and other mods. This connection seems to be causing problems or conflicts while playing. You can tell the client to use a different location for storing maps, mods and other content @morrissey21 said in bot killing the game: I keep encountering a user, either a human player or a bot, with a pirate flag next to his name, and he consistently appears at the 2000 rank in my games. Whenever this individual joins a game, it becomes almost impossible to take any action. I can't launch a new game, move people around, or even kick him from the lobby. It's frustrating and disruptive to the gameplay experience. Report it to the moderators when it happens. You can pick your favorite on Discord. Then they can step in and try to catch the person

    @popsniper If it's any help, I've found that using the matchmaker (rather than joining custom games) seems to result in ALL my games adjusting my rating appropriately.

    Link your account to his Steam account. Then tell him to pm me in forum to swap the steam links. May sound complicated, but your story could as well be used to reset your rating which we do not support
