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.

    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.

    How to mod unknown unit icon?

    @atomic8733 said in How to mod unknown unit icon?: @Dorset hi Dorset, Yes, both my menu and lobby is enabled, and all other custom icon works but the unknown icon. I also tired the "Scale Strategic Icon" in the option but it scale all icons including the medium sized which make it too large. Does your unknow icon change when using custom icon? I am no expert but what I have is the "Redux Strategic Icons Large" mod along with the "Redux ACU Icons" I have these activated and my in game interface settings are all on except for scaling I have that off. One of the options is something like "on with tech marker" and the rest are all on. I hope that helps.

    M27 ai vs. m28 ai

    Best way of seeing how they're different is to play against each of them. M28 is a bit harder, runs faster (relevant if you have a bad CPU or play on large maps with lots of players), is more compatible with mods, and has a range of customisation options. M27 is a bit more 'player-like' in how it manages units (M28 coordinates its units as a team, whereas M27 does it on a per-player basis for the most part), and is more heavily impacted by intel (if it cant see a unit it doesnt realise it's there; whereas for M28 it remembers if it saw that unit a few seconds ago even if it loses intel). It also has a few strategies it still does better than M28 (such as rushing a strategic bomber, or building a firebase on a map like astro craters).

    I think you can just put bots on player spots and remove them at start with cheats. But most of coop maps may break due to some stuff relating on players
