    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%

    Alternate method if you don't want to mess with game prefs: Make a new sandbox game, pick a big map with lots of space (optional: turn on cheats, set speed to +4 or variable. Just use cheats to get lots of mass and energy, don't use cheats to place buildings) Build all of your templates End the match On the new computer: Play the replay file Step in to your own point of view Select each of the things you built and choose "make template" End the replay You will have the templates saved, they will be there the next time you start playing This is also an easy way to share templates between different players

    @chenbro101 said in New PC - can't play - can't change the resolution - AMD: Ah I remember metal fatigue. Surprised someone else even mentioning it. Yes, my friend. Metal Fatigue, IG2, Forsaken, Railroad Tycoon... I love some pretty old games hehe. It's a pity IG2 and Metal Fatigue were not continued. Love them both hehe. Just to let you guys know: I have tested SupCom many times since yesterday and it's stabilized. I had no problems against AI and I played some big maps with 16 players. Everything seems to be working fine since that DPI thing. Thank you very much for your attention. I still didn't play on-line, but I think the game will work nice. Just one more thing: did someone change the fonts used in the game? I realized mine are a little messy and there are some phrases misconfigured in game lobby

    @splashgg Do you have the ranges mod enabled? If so, then maybe it's because of him, since I had the same problems with this mod

    In the Key bindings menu, under "Camera" category you will find everything. Activate free mode, then press space and move your mouse. You can do this at lower camera hights without free mode but then it resets automatically. Tracking is also there.

    Yeah, that's really strange. Yesterday, I had this update screen after I hosted a new game. Right after that, all settings were reset to default. I just noticed that I have a game.pref BAD file and a TEMP file from yesterday next to the actual pref file. So, I just copied everything from the temp file into the pref file, and now everything is back to normal. I can also rotate the templates with the mouse again, even though the option isn't in the settings. ... I don't really get it all

    Glad it worked : ) You might want to get some tools to monitor your CPU and GPU temperatur and make sure neither goes over like 87 while gaming.

    Can you post the client log? It might show a reason why you can't generate/save the map.

    Hey @Margouillo. Your FAF account works just like your email account: you log into the launcher with an username and a password, and the FAF account is not directly tied to your PC. You'll not need to link your GOG account again, and you can simply reinstall the FAF launcher on your new PC.

    You set me on the right path, @macdeffy ! These settings worked for me: [image: 1725473036234-edd99120-66a6-4616-abe5-115c8aedb8c6-image.png] They make the UI blurry, but that's better than frozen.

    I wrote a reply last week and a fix PR but forgot to post lol: I didn't see arty in that replay, but I found it in #23022644. Unfortunately it is desynced so idk if the replay shows the truth of what happened. For those who didn't watch the replay it's dualgap and a player built arty up on the cliff next to the bases and the arty can't shoot because the muzzle velocity characteristics don't give a possible firing solution, as you can see in the screenshot there are very few possible firing locations: [image: 1722731865757-462ac479-80fb-4bbb-a3df-0c038e5ad8be-image.png]

    An 8.9.9 version was released recently, but it seemed to have the same issue and has been removed from the mods list already. Hoping for a fix soon as many of my favorite mods are brewlan related.

    Another possibility is also to ask the observers to leave on their own before the game starts. So why did this bug come back? I personally never had this, ever and I was one of the original players that bought Forged Alliance back when it was brand new. Can you guys also keep the debugging switched on so you can submit the logs? Where should we submit the collected logs?

    @golannard If you're looking for the location of your FA install, I imagine it's under steam/common/steamapps somewhere. You can find the install directory directly by going to your steam library, rightclicking the supcom FA game, and finding that option that opens the install directory.
