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.

    Fixed. Restarting the client 13 times did the trick. Nice.

    It’s almost certainly your antivirus interfering with the client’s ability to move its own files around.

    Thats nothing to worry about. When windows shows you the warning screen, there's an option to tell you more or run it anyway - something like that it's been a while since i've seen it. Basically you can override this warning and then install it. There is no virus. Windows is trying to be helpful but just being annoying.

    Mostly that solves the issue @Inariari . The error says hydra.faforever.com is not reachable but 99% of others can reach it. Your ISP, Router, Router Admin, firewall or whatever is probably blocking it.

    @magge Did you not read all my comments? I have tried a VPN from several locations. Also, hitting up my provider seems pretty pointless. As I say, my internet is fine, I can even play on the python client. There is something up with the new client, somehow, for some reason. And it seems to have happened suddenly for no apparent reason.

    VPN works for some reason, but disabling security doesn't work I had tried before but didn't mention it. Guess I am playing with a VPN for the foreseeable. Cheers

    @dassmatte just to clarify, even these faqs don't help? That is, the game still crashes even if the sound is disabled or the sound folder is manually removed/renamed? It would be helpful if you could give some more info on your setup, especially for what concerns your audio setup: the more info, the more likely someone will be able to help. 44199hz This is probably s a typo but you are supposed to use 44100 Hz

    @nthunter32 said in Map Maker 1.8.8 not working: none of us can generate a map If you try watching a replay from the replay vault of someone's else mapgen game, is your computer able to generate the map in order to show the replay? How are you trying to generate the map? Did you enter a seed? Are you using the check boxes? Did you experiment with the command line? If you put something into the command line, you can't generate maps the "normal" way unless you open up the command line again and clear whatever is on it.

    You need to contact Steam support, when that message pop-ups even after 24 hours.

    fyi i was logging in with the wrong password. Because i am as ancient as vanilla, loggin details in lobby are different than for the site. Lots of pcs , lots of reinstalling, the cumbersome need for new loggin details , back in time , when buying a new pc or playing in a different location.... Linking with steam saved us. Anyway......

    UPDATE: Someone suggested changing the ICE adaptor preference from Australia to Germany....so far this has FIXED the problem. So it appears Australians shouldn't connect to the Australian ICE adaptor....go figure....
