For anyone seeing in this in the future - PLAY a custom game FIRST. It can just be a 1v1 versus an AI. The client does not create all necessary files and directories until you play your first game. Replays should then work.

"Talistan's Handicap Mod" does it! Have fun

@brucelee This shouldn't have anything to due with the lag/stutter issue you're experiencing, but you have a sound bug which you can tell by the SND/XACT warnings. This sound issue can result in unexpected behavior, including crashes. 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.

Maybe it is related to mods — The log contains no crash related error, “just” some warnings related to the mods. OP needs to test it further with a mod-free environment, then debug it one by one to narrow down the issue. Even when he would crash, without any active mod, then it would already be some progress.

@katharsas Not in the game itself. What you can do though is remap those keys via software for your keyboard or scripting software like AutoHotKey.

It's not a mod? [image: 1707333301594-67429809-c345-4eb0-ae1a-da86425537a0-immagine.png] edit: try the "Ranges" mod

Thanks @MostLostNoob @magge have had several games now no crash logs after each game.

@gamersbemad I think I resolved this in my last game no game crash log. I played the game in Window mode and also enabled IPv6. Give this a go and see how you go. Also disabled Acronis cyber protect.

ok

I'm having the same issue !

@the_janitor I am quite good against medium in command and conquer, should normal also feel similar?

These are the logs I obtained most recently from a disconnect whilst matching on a 3v3 advanced-ice-adapter.log ice-adapter.log client.log

Thank you

after disabling the onboard sound chipset in the BIOS fixed my the sound issue I had (hearing everything only once then nothing), figured I'd drop this here to let people know that is still a good fix

thats weird, I had it in dual full screen, i didn't tab out at all. I will have to lok at what was going on.

Thank you @MostLostNoob I'll make the changes suggested and open a new thread if not resolved.

Happy to hear that and welcome to FAF! If you got any questions, FAF discord is usually the best place to drop those. https://discord.gg/mXahVSKGVb
