It was some kind of database deadlock in the ice server side. Could be a bug or a one time thing , we'll have to observe it.

@moon_rise_ said in Cannot join queues:

Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\bin\DbgHelp.dll -> C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\DbgHelp.dll

Seems like the client can't access your steam/fa directory.
You should check the permissions and make sure the user you are currently using has access to that directory

You might also want to drop the whole log file here instead of only a small part
there might be more info in there

Thank you for the information. That is very helpful!

Solved:
Validated files via Steam. One was corrupted. Replacing file failed to fix the issue.

Uninstalled and reinstalled the game. That appears to have solved the issue.

@magge We have done the usual Sound related fixes, because audio was not working at first. So we deactivated any 3D sound settings and other fancy software like Steelseries Sonar. After that, sound was working for everyone.

I think it might be related to a script that was executed on that particular map. The crash happened at least once right after the event where the map increased in size for the first time, and at least once shortly after the second scripted event. The line you highlighted (nil value) could be the culprit, but I am not familar with lua and that code, so I can't be sure. I am familiar with a few other programming languages though, so if I can help in debugging in any way, let me know.

Again, thanks for looking into this!

It was the issue!

Indeed I used the uninstall software, I never manually delete the folder.

Thanks a lot!!

This problem should be fixed with the hotfix that is now live @kankkarankka

Ok so perfect, after the patch released today, I can carry on going "Boom" on both custom and ladder lobbies- thanks to all for sorting.

@savage_messiah
Try hosting on the faf develop game type.
There is a fix, that's going to be released today/tomorrow. If develop works for you, the new version will solve your problems.

Indeed it was.

I think it's linked to the DDOS issue. Give it time. The dev team here will eventually figure out a solution, or the person behind the attacks may at some point find something meaningful to do with their life.

The issue still persists. Someone please advice, I am locked out of playing the game as it stands for now.
I attached the log file the client creates when it fails.

client.log

I have the same issue bro, i can even play any other online game perfectly fine, FAF is the only one causing issues

@redx Good morning!
Thanks for the feedback and help!
It was indeed my AV that was the blocking factor.
After I turned off AV, I got a windows firewall pop up to allow FAF.

Once this was allowed, it was working again.
Now I can play again with AV on, always a bonus!

I wish I could say I'm surprised it's not as simple as updating a stylesheet, I am not surprised. The one universal constant is that forum software will always be annoying as hell to run.
