If you could enable the faf debugger in the client's options ("Use FAF Debugger when starting Forged Alliance") it would give a more detailed game log.

Could you try using a VPN service to see if it improves your network connection?

Can you provide some examples of maps where these effects don't work for you?

@Nomander Thank you for fixing the error, I had unfortunately overlooked it

@BuccalFlapper I think your issue is a different one, because you have: warning: SofDec error: 1060102: Internal Error: adxm_goto_mwidle_border which I have seen last year in this post. You can try the "temporary fix" so you can at least play the game, but without movie cutscenes.

Ok Thank you

Sorry to necro this, but I had the same issue in Forged Alliance and FAF today 08/29/2025. I have a solution that worked for me. First, I have three screens of different resolution and refresh rate, if you want to use the second screen, and have more than two, first disable the ones you are not going to use. Don't let Windows see more than two screens. Now for context, in my case the main culprit was the Anti-Aliasing setting. The moment I enabled AA, or if AA was enabled when I selected a second monitor, it would not work. My monitors are different resolution and refresh, I don't know if it has anything to do, but this worked for me 100% of the time. After you make sure only two screens are active follow the steps below: Start Forged Alliance and disable the non-working, secondary screen. Set the main display to the correct resolution but set your Fidelity Preset to Low, make sure AA is off. Save and restart FA. After FA starts with the correct resolution and low Fidelity, enable the secondary display, at a lower resolution and refresh rate than the default settings for the secondary monitor. Save and restart FA. After restarting and displaying the menu, the secondary screen should work, displaying an FA splash screen. Now carefully adjust set a higher preset and edit your graphic settings if desired, but ALWAYS make sure that Anti-Aliasing is OFF before you click OK. I know the High preset will enable AA, so be careful, if you enable AA by accident at this point and hit OK you will get two white screens, or some other form of failure. Save settings and restart FA. At this point you can play FA or FAF, as the settings carry over from FA to FAF. Hope this helps, it worked for me.

Try going to your game.prefs (there's a button leading to it in the top left of the client) and setting the ui_scale to 1 to fix the UI scaling outside the window. I play on windows so I'm not sure why your game has no borders, but the window size options are also in the prefs file under Windows in Main. There is also an option primary_adapter in the same place as ui_scale, and you can set it as primary_adapter = 'windowed',. Windowed is recommended for the game as it is old and breaks with alt-tab.

In my experience the client downloads the correct exe version when watching an old replay, although that may not work for very old replays.

I can't tell whether it is a cpu issue, but I'd suggest to just reinstall the game completely for now, because there is something happening with game exe for sure.

@Saver I tried windowed, and... I'd rather be resetting PC occasionally than play like this.

Fix here: https://github.com/FAForever/fa/pull/6884

Use client version 2025.5.2, not pioneer-beta.

The default values is %s which will be replaced with the whole ForgedAlliance.exe path and arg. So if you want to wrap it into another app you need to go something like start /affinity F %s

Hello, i have a similar issue with my new PC that i managed to resolve by going to my task manager after the game has started, go to the details tab and set the ' affinity' for supreme commander to only the first 4 cores of my cpu. This completely solves it for me, even though i do need to do it every new game. I got he info from this steam forum thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/9420/discussions/0/601895119916956285/?l=latam

They were fixed a while ago
