    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.

    Found the problem: I transfered the My Documents Folder from C drive to a different drive a while ago. If that drive is not connected I get this error.

    Does that file exists? "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\init.lua" If yes, delete it, if not, it might be AV blocking it.

    @Brutus5000 Just realized what you probably meant was to go to download the latest release .zip file from Git-hub, and extract to a local directory. 100% working thanks.

    I searched the replay vault, and a player with your name (the name that shows up on your forum posts, specifically: "thenewIKB") created some games on November 14-15, 2020. You would not have been able to do that in November of 2020 unless this account was already linked to steam. Are you trying to log in to the FAF client with the username "thenewIKB"? Try logging in to FAF with the same username/password that you used to log in to the forums.
