    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%

    I'm not sure if the server that is responsible for the penalty knows who caused the game to fail to launch. The meaning of the colors can be found here: https://github.com/FAForever/fa/blob/develop/lua/ui/lobby/autolobby/AutolobbyConnectionMatrixDot.lua#L76-L88 The game is peer-to-peer. Everyone is connected to everyone else. That's why there's a matrix. Usually you only see your own connections. What you see there is a best-effort to sync the entire network state.

    Try and start a game once via steam and then try again on the FAF client.

    @White_Magic said in Black screen when i join a lobby: yes, the same problem Idk what you mean by that. You say yes it works via steam but it also has the problem? xD I'm assuming you just mean it also doesnt work on steam. Then its a game issue and not faf. I'd recommend using the steam launch parameter to open the game in windowed mode. Unfortunately I dont know it from the top of my head, so you would need to google it. It could be a problem with the resolution, thats why im recommending trying this

    @jip , I've also noticed this error. It doesn't always occur, though (FAF campaign). Currently, restarting FAF several times seems to fix it. I thought this problem was also mentioned in the Discord. Or does it just sound very similar to me? https://discord.com/channels/944679492293636116/1258122595581296700/threads/1349266932964261929

    Where do you receive the error? Client? (Which client, which version)? Website? Somewhere else?

    Sounds like the update didn't replace all files. An unpleasant but common issue with our installer. Uninstall. Manual delete all remaining files in C:\Program Files\FAF Client, then reinstall.

    If you watch a replay the game log will list out the mods and versions being used at the start of the game (F11 brings up a window that lets you view it, and faf creates a text file named after the replay ID). The database/client doesn’t have this data though

    @ss_rakesh I did two folders as you suggested with the same content. Placed them in FAF Client Map folder (you can find it from FAF client top left) It works perfectly. I don't have the path you suggested,, but placing them where all the other FAF Client maps are, it works and no visual glitches.

    I think if you disable some of the ui party options it will help. Also whenever you have an issue like this disable ui mods to find out what the issue is

    @BannedPurple Can you please create a moderation ticket on FAF Discord? The moderator team will help you sort out your accounts. Please do not create any additional FAF accounts, as we have a single account policy. Additional accounts will be flagged as smurfs, and your main account will receive a penalty, but with your help we can prevent that.
