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!

    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%

    @Amygdala All resolved. As per our conversation Amygdala, it wasn't the Steam linking it was the FAF Client not pointing to the correct location on my PC.

    Might be a permissions thing. By moving it, it would get new NTFS permissions, inherited from the parent folder.

    Hello BilgeRatPDX , The crash EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at address 0x0067aa5f is known since 5 Jan 2015: from 2015 https://github.com/FAForever/fa/issues/318 from 2020 https://github.com/FAForever/fa/issues/3235 My AI does not exist in 2015, so this error is surly not from my AI. Maybe you are using Full share option ? In case you use full share, read here: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/1310/humans-vs-sorian-uveso-aix-game-crashes-on-ai-acu-kill-since-faf-client-1-4-2 (game patch for this issue is included to my AI version 92 for testing; it will be patched to the game after testing) And please, could you always post your full game log, that would be nice!

    Вот что еще помогло, снять галочку "только для четения" с папок и файлов внутри папки ФаФ (с самой папки, почему-то не снимается) + запуск клиента фаф от имени администратора! Вышло сообщение (на инглише) жмешь окей и все работает!

    Didn't anyone help you with this? I don't really know how to interpret your logfile. Try launching the game directly, instead of through the FAF client. Does that work? If so, create a new profile and make that active. Sometimes, there can be things written in the profile in the game.prefs file that can prevent the program from starting.

    The campaign missions are started from the "co-op" tab. In the co-op tab, there is a drop-down menu to select from the campaign missions. The missions with a faction logo on them are campaign missions from the original game (before Forged Alliance). There are Forged Alliance campaign missions. There are also "new" campaign missions created for FAF. You can launch a co-op lobby from the co-op tab. Obviously, when you launch the lobby, you're the only human in it. From the lobby, you can edit the game's options (increase or decrease the difficulty, or other options). You can launch the game from the lobby even if you're the only human player. You don't need anyone else in order to play a "co-op" game. You can let people join your lobby, or you can put a password on it to keep them out.

    AccessDeniedException looks like you have your .exe setup to be run as an administrator and the fafclient is not running as an administrator so it doesnt have the permission to start the .exe Try and go into the .exe settings go to compatibility and remove the tick from the "run as administrator" box
