    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%

    if anyone needs it, I found "ranges" mod works exactly like additional camera stuff and can render all ranges, you need to enable other ranges in minimap though, it is a bit convoluted [image: W6m7pTc.jpg]

    @YarikChi Just in case you have the mod "Black Ops Global Icon Support" enabled, please disable it for FAF. FAF has its own icon support mod included.

    Alright, I may have found a solution. Step 1: Try and reverify your genuine copy of FA. Step 2: "Make sure the flash message below states you are connected" If it states that the account is connected to another account name, there's your problem. Note the name. Step 3: log in through the client which will send you to a website to log in. Step 4: enter the name you recorded as your username and login. The password doesn't need to change. Step 5: finally access your client.

    When you host a game you can choose the faf develop game type [image: 1676237187448-28f38c18-713d-43e3-a6b6-90d74b6be2df-image.png]

    The fix is only about the decoding about Game.prefs file. Without any log and any error description, I assume your Linux issue is unfortunately not related to that decode-issue.

    There was a short hiccup with the API - It should work now or very soon again.

    Well, either your security permissions are messed up, or you have third party software messing something up. On a default windows installation your applications never run as admin unless the app itself is reqeusting admin rights, which the FAF client does not do.

    @jip Thanks, or maybe this is due to the map, on other maps for example: dualgap, this problem has never been.
