    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%

    Hmm I have seen a few people have this issue. 2022.1.3 should have fixed it but I will take a look again.

    Map generator can not create the map file. Your OS or Antivirus is blocking it, I assume, because you deliver zero information about anything else about your system.

    Resolved the issue and wanted to provide closure if anyone else finds this thread. I uninstalled and deleted the sup com games (vanilla and fa), deleted the fad client, then resinstalled the games and the faf client. Went into faf settings and updated the patching to where I had supcom fa installed. After that, i was able to create/enter games. Thanks to Sheikah for their help.

    I had the same problem and it turned out to be a failed cpu heating system. Replaced it and all is well (almost). Also found that the network part of my motherboard was failing so I had to put in a new network card. BTW, my computer is a desktop that is 4 1/2 years old but still works great (except for the parts that failed

    I watched the replay, and even I could hear the despairing cry in front his screen. That bug, or whatever it is, is really annoying and silly.

    Are you concerned that your rating is unfairly low, because you actually have good skills? If that's the problem, then do what @Askaholic said, play custom 1v1 matches to gain rating. OR is the problem that your rating is accurate? If that's the situation, you need a different solution: 1 - git gud. You have to want to git gud, practice in 1v1s to get there (you won't learn anything in team games, you have 2k team games already, in order to learn you need to take responsibility for everything). I wrote a guide for 1v1s that can give you ideas of what to work on. 2 - host your own lobbies. Nobody can kick you, you can kick anybody, you can "foe" people to keep them away from your lobbies. Take control. Take control of your rating or take control of the lobbies you play in.
