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!

    Hi! Since July 16 I can't join or host any game — FA launches, reaches the lobby, then hangs on "Connecting..." forever. The ICE debug window and telemetry stay completely empty: no peers, no gathering, nothing. From my logs the game processes CreateLobby fine and the client receives GameState Idle → Lobby, but after that no JoinGame / HostGame / ConnectToPeer ever arrives, so the ICE adapter is never asked to connect to anyone. My lobby connection itself looks healthy the whole time (join requests get responses, I even got a game_not_ready error back once, and the game list keeps updating live). Last working game: July 15. Same silent behavior on client 2026.1.0 and after updating to 2026.4.1 — ~12 attempts across 6+ different games.

    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

    0x008d462c can be caused by the following commands: STR_Utf8Len('text') STR_Utf8SubString('text') Maybe a UI mod feeded with non english characters ?

    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).
