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%

    Something is stopping you from reading from the port 57728 check antivirus or check if some other application has that port open.

    If you have a 4k screen or resolution this is a known issue when it is full screen. Try making the window smaller

    Thanks for the response. While this doesn't quite solve the issue I've reduced the intensity by picking a thicker font and setting it to bold. Thank you! By the way, just so you know you can alter ClearType settings in Windows to replicate how it "should" look on BGR (it will look ugly on your display while it's set this way, bear in mind). When you go to "Adjust ClearType text" in Windows and get to the first option for tuning, pick the right hand option. It will look blurry and weird on RGB but that's what displays correctly on BGR. From there you can test whether or not FAF's client is matching the way the rest of Windows is looking. Again, I understand this is a fringe issue, so I don't expect anyone to rush out and solve this.

    Hello @happy_balloon! Indeed it broke—thankfully it's enough to download the first mission again from the FAF client (black day) to fix it.

    @nogthar no problems. glad I was helpful. by the way you can use HTOP to order the game to run on all processor cores, or on a more productive one. This is useful for those who have every CPU rating point on their account. launch HTOP, find the game process. click "a" and select cores/threads. there are other ways, but this one is the simplest, fastest, without serious interference with the kernel process scheduler and writing startup scripts. the profit is that if you roll the game straining all the cores / threads, the processor chip of the chiplet architecture warms up more evenly. Well, if 0/1 core / thread is not the most productive, you can fix the situation.

    JRE is fine. I would try to redownload and reinstall the client files from scratch. Maybe some files just got lost along the way. It happens on windows too from time to time and you just need to redownload.

    Ok, so I select targets with shift as usual and then just press G (with shift still pressed) by the end, now it's working. Thanks.

    Try a VPN to get an IP from a different country. I think I saw several people with the same problem recently, when I remember correctly.
