    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%

    game history is linked to steam and not account Uh, I don’t think so. You can only link one steam account to one faf account. There should always be a 1-1 relationship.

    This issue was related to server downtime a few days ago so it is unlikely you are having this issue. What is the error you are getting?

    @Torium1 C:\Users\havie\OneDrive\Документы\My Games\ Supreme Commander does not like OneDrive and has problems with cyrillic names. Please first try to disable OneDrive and try again. @Exselsior He posted the game log, there you can see what mods he is using: debug: Active mods in sim: \000{ }

    You can start watching them and then tab out and close the client. The client needs internet before starting them to download the correct game version, mods, etc.

    Hello I_Darkstar_x, welcome to FAForever. Maps are normaly stored in the folder: C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Maps Move to this folder, sort it by date and the last installed map should be your direct strike map. Delete it.

    I have no idea how to solve it, but I love how you said you 'failed successfully' - that is the right approach to thinking about it

    @mastergoa Also consider using tracking (select a unit and press the tracking key, default keybind = t) with the different ways of changing the viewing angle. You can go into a player's POV, select a unit, turn on tracking, then go back to "observer" POV to get rid of the fog of war, and the tracking will stay on.

    Hello DSM, i checked the log and i ends right before loading the move in the mainscreen. There was also an error inside the ShowEscapeDialog (Did you press [ESC] while loading the game ?) please make sure you played the game at least once over steam. (Start the game over steam and play a single game for 1-2 minutes and end the game.) delete everything inside this directoy: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata\*.* start a game with the FAF client and see if you can reach the ingame lobby. make sue you don't use any cyrillic chars in username or filepath etc. Supreme Commander can't handle non english charactes very well. Then post a new game.log.

    I viewed the game.log and there are no errors. The log ended after destroying an ACU and before sending the score data. Last line was info: send Ptr: 5BE30002 Looks like you lost the connection when the game tried to send a bunch of data. If possible send us the a new log when you crash again. Also post the reported crash adress like EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION at address 0x0095854f
