    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%

    BlackOps FAF: ACUs adds a ton of upgrades Otherwise you're better off asking in the modding section of the Discord. You'll have to say you're interested in modding when you join, or go to the Channels and Roles section if you've already joined.

    Which security software? Do you have the latest W10 updates? Which language is default for your OS? Does your windows' username, or does any path to FAF/SC contain Cyrillic chars? Edit: I believe I see the "Avast" icon - if you use that security, try uninstalling it and try again.

    The blueprints-ai.lua file that Nomander referenced is what you want to look at. Your obviously motivated to do something positive here. I don't believe we can dynamically adjust threat during the game as the blueprints are read once on startup sort of thing. BUT, I think the development team would be more than happy to see someone put time into improving the existing threat calculations that we are creating. The current calculations are based on a formula that Balthazar did however long ago and some adjustments since then and while it is ALOT better than what we had originally there is room for improvement. You'll eventually hit limitations since threat also depends on situational factors (a sniper bot in dangerous unless an enemy Obsidian tank is sitting next to it sort of thing). So why not rather than making a mod look at improving what we are doing now? We're happy to collaborate and provide feedback on the impact it makes on AI games.

    Not sure about the Sonar thing, but when it is part of the Steel series, then I would guess so. @magge said in Solutions for SND: Error, XACT: Invalid arg, XACT3DApply failed: The following software are known to cause conflicts with Supreme Commander or the FAF client: Steel Series GG Software Suite Steel Series and Corsair Driver Packages Creative Speaker Drivers Killer Audio/Networking Citrix Systems Overwolf Overlay Sophos VPN Asus GPU Tweak III The following hardware may cause conflicts: Intel Core stability issues in 13th and 14th Gen Processors (Discord Thread About The Issue: Link)

    Thanks! But as an aside, I found it all by myself and all is fine. I watched several replays and started a game against AI just to make sure!

    The first thing I saw in the log is: XACT: Invalid arg Head over to this thread to see every known solution about it. @XariUK said in Game crashing constantly: The game is unlocked via Large Address Aware, but for some reason, it was launching in 32-bit mode, hitting the 2GB limit, even though there’s plenty of RAM available. TMK, FAF does already apply the "unlocker" patch, you do not have to do it manually.

    I also think it's a shame that it wasn't implemented. Is this version available as a mod so that the work wasn't in vain?

    @bbi said in Game crashin Exit code 1, access violation 0x00000014: i believe there is something else Citrix causes issues for other users as well. If you are not dependent on that software, I would recommend uninstalling it to see if it will resolve your problem.
