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%

    @saltyelbow You must use a patrol order and your acu will prioritise killing an enemy over getting reclaim. It is common to manually use your acu to grab reclaim as fast as possible.

    @SexyNemo It looks like some of the installed jars are missing. Although normally this stops the client from starting at all. You can try removing all the install folders of the client and reinstalling and making sure no anti virus is removing files.

    The error message tells me the downloaded patch files are corrupt. Easiest way is to delete them. C:\ProgramData\FAforever\gamedata and/or C:\ProgramData\FAforever\¢ache\featured_mod

    If that is the case, then FAF is almost certainly leaking sockets. My system only has ~200 TCP sockets open at idle, and only ~10 of those are in active use at any given time. I wrote a little script to monitor it and log the TCP port count and activity. Hopefully my next game will reveal the issue.

    Responding to an old thread to try and provide insight in to how I fixed a niche flavor of this issue on my machine. I've been running FAF on a 2-in-1 laptop (with pen + tablet functionality) that was primarily static on my desk. With this laptop, when you physically rotate it it will rotate the screen 90 degrees such that you can take notes, read, etc. Ended up bringing it along to a hotel, and started having this issue. FAF can't handle portrait orientation, and as a result of my machine being in my backpack vertically for some period of time, it somehow got stuck in a weird state where it was showing that it was landscape on the display settings screen, but some bit was flipped to say that it was portrait. I flipped my laptop on its side once, and then back to normal and everything works fine now. Hopefully save some other poor soul the headache of troubleshooting that one....

    If you have a client version before 2022.1.4 there was a bug where it might not download the generator correctly so try updating your client.

    Usually, surround sound causes problems with Supreme Commander. Just enforce stereo sound in your windows settings or sound software. Обычно объемный звук вызывает проблемы с Supreme Commander. Просто включите стереозвук в настройках windows или звуковой программы.
