0x008d462c can be caused by the following commands:

STR_Utf8Len('text')
STR_Utf8SubString('text')

Maybe a UI mod feeded with non english characters ?

Maybe Anti-Virus removing C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe

maybe post the error?

It is only useful for tourney prep, that’s about the only situation where bos get serious effort put into them.

Still is a nice thing to have for tournament players, though.

Also doesn’t really matter if it gets revealed the first time you play the map, people won’t have the time to incorporate the bo into their gameplay in the middle of a tourney. The main problem is that you could spend 8 hours working on a bo for a tourney map and then some dude logs on, sees your work, spends an hour copying it and maybe refines it even more himself. Just destroys the desire to do any bo work unless you know the mechanics on how to break your replays (which is another barrier to entry for new high tier players).

I had this intermittently last night, assumed it was external factors.

Great info, thank you for the welcome and the tips, Uveso.

[...]point to our custom projectiles file which would be located at: /mods/<modname>/lua/blankprojectiles.lua

It would be located it there in case you create the file !

Crate a textfile inside your mod folder:

/mods/<modname>/lua/textfile.txt

then rename the textfile to blankprojectiles.lua

Now you have your empty projectile in
/mods/<modname>/lua/blankprojectiles.lua

Hey you both,
'
Thanks for your help...I copied the code out of the Tutorial and changed it in my way and that seems to work...absolutely no idea why it didnt work with my version at first...

@Wingflier

yes there is (maybe) an error inside the ProcessBuildCommand function that causes the function to loop
every 10 milliseconds and this is lagging the game out.

I will do some test and release an update tomorrow.

Alright, so I found a broken link file called .faforever, deleted it and so far it works now! Seems like it couldn't create files because it already sort of existed. I found out by trying to create it myself and not letting me name it and searched for the file by name. It was just broken. Delete it and rerun it. Sweet! Thanks for the help everyone!

What exactly have you searched for?

Many thanks to everyone! I solved my problem. I'd thought what if FAFlauncher had been blocked by my Anti-Malware, so I decided to disable it. And FAF was launched !
So I'm a clown, I guess

New Update (v93) is out.
You can download it from the vault or from here:

@killerfrog2222

Please make clear that you are (hopefully) still testing if Total Mayhem is the cause.
I know it might be look as it is TM since you disabled it and its no longer crashing, but you are using
many other mods than could interfere with Total Mayhem.

You can find Black ops and other unit Mods patched for FAF here:
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/364/updated-mods-for-faf-and-vanilla-steam

All mods there (also Total mayhem) are tested and not crashing
(at least i did not got any crash report in the last 2 years)

You should also try the Future Battle pack:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/fbp-future-battlefield-pack
(Its still in development)

And if you start the game over the FAF client, try out the NOMADS mod/faction

@killerfrog2222

Please do me a favor and test Total Mayhem with no other mod.
Does it still freeze when you play it alone ?

I am just asking because i play Total Mayhem every day an never got a freeze.
When i develop my AI i also have Total Mayhem running.

Maybe its another mod that is hooking a function that also Total Mayhem hooks and those hooks are playing
ping pong and causing the freeze. (One hook is calling the other hook and back again)

If you make a template just with the storages, it will be offset, since the centre will be one of the storages
But if you make it with T1 mex, you will have it centred. T1 mex so it can be build with any engineer

Thank you axel12 starting the game on steam first did the trick

You could try delete C:\ProgramData\FAForever folder
