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!

    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%

    Do you still have the issue? Have you tried the following: @magge said in Solutions for common errors with the FAF client launcher or supreme commander: Something is blocking the client to have access to the internet, or you have a very unstable connection. Check if your internet connection is stable Check if firewall is blocking the access Disable security software for testing purpose Try a VPN from a different country

    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

    I get kinda the same thing if I try to play in the afternoon, lots of Russian players at that time. The simple solution is tmm, and what's funny is there is no lag even when I'm playing Russians

    @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
