If you continuously draw against the same player (and don't play against others) your mean rating will eventually become equal. The speed at which is happens is in theory an adjustable Trueskill parameter, but only in general for all rating changes, not just draws. So if you reduce the speed, you will also reduce the points you gain/loose from winning/loosing. The parameter controls the "volatility" of the ratings. In theory you could measure which parameter value would make Trueskill predict the outcome of a match correctly most often, but that would be quite bit of work and i don't think the current value is too bad. (I think there is a different parameter that is supposed to tell Trueskill system how likely draws are in general but i am not sure what changing that would do.)

What is your NAT type? Windows 10 - go to Settings > Gaming > Xbox Networking https://support.xbox.com/en-AU/help/hardware-network/connect-network/troubleshoot-party-chat Make sure you run check twice as there is a bug where the first check can fail. Windows 11 - Install Xbox console companion - then go to settings - network It may not be a NAT issues however it is a good place to start. Also check https://www.windowscentral.com/how-get-open-nat-xbox-one-enabling-upnp Also make sure your outbound NAT source port is set to static and not dynamic (this differs between routers) https://wiki.faforever.com/en/FAQ/Connection-Issuses-and-Solutions Here is an example of what having a NAT outbound static source port looks like in pfsense [image: 1650696298150-untitled.png]

Tried three times to start with Faf beta, no luck.

@immortal-d said in NVIDIA Glitch fix didn't work: Nvidia Display Container LS Thank you a lot - this helped me to boost my MX330 in the Thinkpad.

Like most things the solution created more problems than it solved, namely unranking legitimate games.

How do i disable IPv6?

In case this happens again, change the language inside the game. (FAF has added a language selector to the menu) [image: 1650042424987-ru_option.png] [image: 1650042430783-ru_language.png]

i had the same issue and i asked the chat on faf and someone told me to disable ipv6 through control panel and it worked. might want to give this a try

Yeah, [image: 1649694393426-7945f182-ed5c-4d4e-9a42-7e965cee5c42.jpeg]

@nine2 ah sorry

@jip said in The game keeps crashing: The keyboard causes the crashes? No, it wasn't the keyboard that caused the crash. Yes I love the keyboard of this crashing computer, sorry my native language is not English and can only use google translate.

You can test to disable the sound card in BIOS and try with a USB sound card.

We've been dropping mods left and right. We'll try some vanilla runs when we can. In the interim, what can I do to track down the source of this?

An expansion is a new base controlled by its own location manager and with its own brain condition monitor. So you basically start a new AI brain on any new expansion. Expansions will be build at free startpoints, and mostly on areas with many mass extractor spots. Naval bases are also expansions. I would suggest to only use 2 land and 2 naval expansions for better game speed. If you use my AI then i would suggest to set land expansions to only 1 and 3 naval expansions. Onyl thing to mention, the map must have map markers for expansions created by the map autor or the AI can't buld any expansions. (If you use the AI-Uveso, then you can enable a option to autogenerate waypoints and expansion markers on any map)

this problem also exists while in lobby. i remember a few times the chat was flooded with messages and the game crashed. not only /31, plain text works too

Well, I tried what you proposed, my game didn't crash since then. As if was not always crashing, I can't still be 100% sure that this was the problem, but it migh be! Thanks a lot for your help, I'll come back if the game crashes again. thanks!

Aaaand I can't get into a lobby again. Log of failing to download mod before entry into game. I downloaded said mod (1.3x build range) from vault manually and it worked fine, then continued then it got stuck at the "connecting" screen ingame.
