Ohhhhhhhhhhh he thicc

@bbqsalvo You have a sound bug which you can tell by the SND/XACT warnings. Simple fix steps are:

Windows key > type: Control Panel > Open > Sound > Playback > select the Device you use: Configure > Stereo > finish configuration, Properties: Enhancements > Disable all enhancements, Advanced > 16 bit, 44100 Hz, Spatial Sound > Off, Restart or Shift+Shutdown (not just Shutdown) of PC

If your headphones come with any applet/program, then you may want to disable that & try using the headphones without it. Similarly, if they use a USB or Bluetooth dongle to connect to the PC, see if you can connect directly without the dongle.

@proassassin Can you please edit your post by deleting that wall-of-text, then go to client > top left menu > Show logs folder > logs > sort by Date Modified. From there, drag/drop your game_22184026.log file (should be of the last game that crashed) into the message window so those that can help (not me) have that complete data to look at.

If you're using Windows (doesn't work for linux), I'd also recommend that you go to FAF client > top left menu > Settings > Forged Alliance Forever > Use FAF Debugger when starting Forged Alliance > check > click "Get the latest version of the debugger". This will create a more detailed log to assist with future troubleshooting.

@Jip What do you think is causing it? There might be a workaround without having to play an online game just to modify or create a build template. This was working prior to the recent updates.

@jip What about when OC splash damages units under shields? https://replay.faforever.com/22042398 15:28 Where my com is

Awesome, great job guys.

I've opened an issue for this. I believe I've identified the two bugs that cause this issue and how to fix them, but I'm not a game dev so hopefully someone else can tackle this at some point (thanks again for the volunteer work). Link here:

@yochecker If you want it to be fixed, you have to message the mod author. FAF devs don't fix mods

Oh, that makes sense then - the CPU has only 4 cores and then this feature is disabled. The feature disables the first core because the first core is also used by a lot of other processes. This may cause stutters. But it is only enabled when the CPU has at a minimum of 6 or more cores. The reason for that is simple: if you have 4 and you drop one then 3 may not be sufficient to run the game smoothly at all.

In your case, the warning is meaningless in my opinion 🙂 .

Ah! I didn't realize that. Thanks for the response!
In the same replay, the Notha's attacked ground units, completely on their own, without any orders, so I was expecting the same here. They weren't on a Patrol order at that time, so obviously Patrol works differently. They act as Fighters-only when on Patrol.

@thehonorablegeff Try to change your default browser and/or clear browser cache

Yes - those filled with SND/XACT error messages - caused by surround sound.

@dorset said in Setons Opti Ballancing:

Wouldn't it be better for the lowest rank players to battle it out on air and have a slower building air game while the higher ranked players held the front line arc created by the other three positions?

It seems like that, but in actual fact- recovering a broken front is MUCH easier than a broken air.

@geedie Try adding an exception/exclusion for the FAF Client in the AV software & Windows Security.

If that doesn't work, then please open RUN (Windows+R) & go to the following:

%USERPROFILE%/AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs

You should see a client.log file (the one without the date). Please click the Reply button at the bottom between the 👁 (View) icon & the "Mark unread" button. Next, drag/drop that client.log file (the file without the date) into the Reply message window so those that can help (not me) have that data to look at.

Leaderboards have been bugged for some time and are a separate issue.

While I’ve pulled together some fixes for bugs that can stop this mission progressing I’d have thought it unlikely the fixed bugs would have caused the op’s issues (as they generally related to cases where the player completed an objective much faster than expected), and the fixes I’ve proposed also require someone to review/approve them so I don’t know if/when they’ll be incorporated.

Thanks! I just uninstalled citrix and now I can play again. It seems weird it kept me from playing even if it wasn't open but simply installed on my pc.

@majiko Simple fix steps are:
