    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%

    @gonrerd - I had something similar, except it was losing con in 4 and 40 or so minutes (after years of no problems that bad). I uninstalled using the option in the FA install folder on my PC, then reinstalled from Steam, and also reinstalled the FAF client, and it's been fine ever since. Hope you get it fixed.

    Just tried all Adaptive with shared armies and not only did my team mate play more active it almost seemed like the enemies were less aggressive. Will do more experimentation. Thanks for the pointers

    It is replaced with the Context Based Template feature. Primarily because of performance reasons, but secondary it is also more feature rich and less 'accident' prone. It's by default assigned to the tab key. Try hovering over a deposit and hit tab, then try again with a tech 2 engineer and hit tab twice!

    If you're having the same symptoms, including the map image never showing on the connection screen, then you might not have the same root cause (Windows 10 "controlled folder access" turned on). Something else might be preventing either the FAF client or the game from accessing the maps folder. Perhaps the two (FAF client and game) are looking for the maps in different locations. I would start trying to figure out if there is something going wrong with the map download, generation, or loading by the game. As an aside, using Windows 7 at this point is pretty scary from a security perspective. I realize even installing the FAF client is also a kind of scary security issue, but using Win7 is next level. If you can update to an OS which gets regular security updates, that would be a good idea. Don't do any banking or such on that Win7 machine!

    @Aurahead I created a desktop shortcut to C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe and use it to start the game (I host LAN multiplayer through the in-game menu). I replaced this ForgedAlliance.exe with an older version on all computers in the network. In the next few days, I will test the dev and FAF exe again. Then I can tell you if the actual exe is the issue.

    This will likely be connected to changes the DevOps team's been making to try and protect FAF from the ongoing DDOS attacks - the announcements section of discord is probably the best place for updates on this for now: https://discord.com/channels/197033481883222026/197078254681587712 Connection issue update #7 Unfortunately todays update contained some older ICE adapter refactoring that was pending for release and causes other problems now. We are working on a solution.

    In limited use I have noticed client 2025.2.0-alpha-1 seems to keep chat connected.
