Does it happen on steam version of the game? Rename your game.prefs file to e.g. game.backup and try again the FAF version.

@cpahb A great post And it's great that everything is working now. What makes me even happier is that you share your experiences and your discoveries or insights. That’s exactly what FAF is all about.

@Nomander Thank you for your kind response. I suggest not setting such rigorous program logic for this enjoyable mod. It would be better to set a switch to give players the choice, or to strictly restrict it only for the ranked match mode. This way, it maintains both rigor and fun.

In the Notify options (game options (f10 in-game) -> Notify Management) you may have accidentally disabled Notify entirely or just the notifications for enhancements.

Thanks for the replies. I suppose a feature like that would work if all the players know and trust each other. Not great when playing with randoms, though, which is what us casual players do. The hosts of these games don't speak English and I am not committed enough to host.

Problem was already reported on the discord. It got introduced with the most recent update. Fix is already made, but we are not yet worthy to receive it. https://discord.com/channels/197033481883222026/1472311711846629512

Looks like a broken update. Uninstall, remove all remain of faf in c:/program files then reinstall.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the perspective.

The BrewLAN version in the vault errors during blueprint loading. You should download BrewLAN from its github or use the "BrewLAN Compatibility Mod" by PatientBeard from the vault. As for how others have played it, I believe the supcom annihilation and Patch19 mods have a similar brewlan fix on top of their own content, so you wouldn't have noticed that those mods fix brewlan.

I think you're running into a limitation on how the game computes the LOD (level of detail, when to render meshes (of units, props)) The same will likely apply to elements (effects, beams). As ZLO mentions, pushing these console commands cause artifacts. In 2006 (over 20 years ago!) these type of resolutions were unthinkable. It's not ideal, but one solution is to run in windowed mode and reduce the resolution?

I have provided an explanation of what is the same issue, along with a replay of it affecting me as well, here: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/9851/bug-commander-runs-away-from-target-moves-to-tactical-missile-range?_=1769652799105

Okay, so suggested sound issue. I have Dolby Atmos running on a 5.1 surround headset. No other known sound softwares running. I will go through the fixes on here https://forum.faforever.com/topic/4084/solutions-for-snd-error-xact-invalid-arg-xact3dapply-failed Will update on here if something works for anyones future reference to this issue.

As Strydxr already stated, the Dojo might be for you. You can find some information here on the forums as well. If you can make EU evening hours for training, feel free to DM me. I'm running a training group for beginners, up to roughly 1k rating. https://forum.faforever.com/topic/9594/the-faf-dojo-voice-based-coaching

My hero! that seems to have worked. I just deleted any gameprefs related files and I was finally able to load into a game

Removing it right now will make worse the issue I raised about reclaiming from hard-to-reach places.

thank you all
