Some months ago, I made a suggestion in the Discord FAF Game Development channel to at least have a notification in the team chat, when someone changes POV (from X to Y). Unfortunately, it got no traction, or it was simply too labor-intensive to make it happen back then.

My gut tells me (well, by watching random replays), the game-mode gets more and more popular and that is why some QOL additions are needed. I like the mode, and it would be amazing if it would be higher on the priority list.

So far, what is needed, IMO:

Notification in team chat when someone changes player POV Union-control should be opt-in, (like in WC3) and automatically enabled when the player dies/disconnects Bonus: Make it possible to see which units are getting controlled with a different unit selection color (like in WC3) and bug fix mentioned from above poster

I would blindly guess, the developers already were thinking of something like that, when they introduced the game-mode, but lack of time, or SC engine itself makes it complicated/impossible to make those features happen.

Same problem

@Treos thanks, did it with "Create a factory build queue template..." hotkey

@magge Thank you.

@magge
@Jip
it worked perfectly fine, thanks for your help guys !

@LeFleurBang

from now on you can also start the FAF version directly wihtout using the FAF launcher.

Just make an desktop shortcut of the file C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe
(ProgramData is a hidden folder!)

The effects file highlighted appears to be the issue, and works with low success rate when deleting it, but mostly it just re-populates and throws the error again...

Been troubleshooting for HOURS at this point

@obituarypizza

Sounds like corrupted game files.

Check your game files of Supreme Commander Forged Alliance via Steam.

This is a memory error. The only solution is to reduce the number of (unit) mods.

Can you start SC from Steam/GOG, without FAF at all?

Unfortunately, there seems to be a language barrier. Someone who speaks Russian would be better for this thread.

the problem has not been fixed

Noted, thanks.

It is worth mentioning that I did see some improvements on certain boots with Nvidia Display Container LS stopped within services.

Also ill note that it doesn't occur everytime. It seems like roughly 3-5 boots of the game have the issue, but with FAF closing the game frequently, it's more likely yo occur

@Nomander OMG I can't believe I missed that! Welp that's a bit embarrassing... THANK YOU!!!

Please share a game.log

@Sainse да, тоже не помогает

Yeah, its held together by chewing gum, but I'll keep using it if I can. I still appreciate your time and effort, cheers.

Ah, that’s great, thank you. You’d think I would have checked the Mods tab before asking 😄

Our entire project is open source, even the infrastructure. So you can look for yourself what data we collect. The association finances are accessible to association members which everybody can join. We turn down / ignore offers for paid content and decided for ourselves that we do not even want sponsored tournaments.

Yes obviously we are very shady. There must be a hidden master plan behind this non profit strategy.
