I had a similar issue today. It took me about 20 mins to download the game files and, once finished, I could no longer join any games - I got some java-error. I had to reinstall the client to fix it.

it is the lobby chat I'm talking about. And it's not just my problem. Many of my friends commented to me about having the same problem.

I suspect it is a permissions issue where FAF is trying to create or read a folder but doesn't have the permission to do so.

Thank you, it work ! 😄

just uninstall it or make it not run on startup. or just close it everytime you run faf

@g-ker @Nubasuk I'd start by adding an exclusion/exception for the FAF Client in both the active scan & firewall sections of their AV software & Windows Security.

If that doesn't work, then try a VPN.

If you continue to have issues, please open Run (Windows+R) & go to the following:

%USERPROFILE%/AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs

Click the Reply button at the bottom between the 👁 (View) icon & the "Mark unread" button. Next, drag/drop your client.log file (the Text Document file without the date) into the Reply message window so those that can help (not me) have that data to look at.

@nasimka said in POINTS issue:

it was written the FFF won, but electrician didnt lost the points. I think moders should ban electrician for this.

We do not ban players for what might very well be a bug in the system, rather than a malicious action by a player.
If we can work out why this problem happens and prove that it's the result of a specific action by a player, they may be banned for rating manipulation at a later point in time.

hmm it seems to have fixed it self im not sure why it happened at all cuz i have played it like the day before with out any problems. thank you for the help anyway

Thanks all !!

@popsniper

That’s bizarre and I don’t think that’s how steam works

This is not fixed in map gen 1.12.1

I had a similar problem, Windows Defender was an issue in my case

You can't and there is no reason to.

@mostlostnoob thanks 🙂
love the avatar XD
Smug mode 🙂

OP found the login credentials for his older, already verified FAF account, which resolved the issue.
