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.

    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%

    @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.

    Exactly like at the photo. Happens with little and big explosions. Well, I'm less concerned now then. I thought it could be a malfunction, but at least it isn't hehe. Thanks for the answer, guys

    I am pretty sure if you put game speed to adjustable it used to count when it was working.

    @Foley No you have a different error and I answered in your thread. @AdvancedSpectrum I know this error, but I'm unsure about the cause on your computer. This happens if two different versions of the client mix up after an update was not properly installed. You said you uninstalled and cleaned it. Did you delete the folder C:\Program Files\Downlords Faf Client (or wherever you installed it) after uninstalling? I'm afraid there are leftovers which cause issues. That's the only reason I can think of right now.

    Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\BugSplat.dll For some reason Windows doesn't allow the client to touch this file. Potential reasons: You still have a Forged Alliance process running that blocks the file You started the FAF client with admin permissions once and now only admins may access that file Something fucked up your file permissions. Check for running processes, check windows file permissions on that file.

    Greta. I generelly recommend unintsalling any Third-Party Anti-Virus software and just letting Windows Defender (built into Windows) do its job : )
