That is a directx call that fails - are you running on Linux? Or are you accessing textures through another program?

Oh ok thx !

This is a known bug in 1.6.0 and is fixed in the beta 2021.10.0

Other users have reported it is due to a bad dns config on their machine https://forum.faforever.com/topic/2616/login-issue/11?_=1633862387156

@sheikah i think in my case it only my dns problem, earlier i using custom dns ip address, for working in my client's vpn network, and forgot abort changes after complete. I suggest, that problem "can not resolved api.faforever.com", may be resolved by changing user's network settings for using dns from CloudFlare or Google. CloudFlare DNS dns1_ip_v4: 1.1.1.1 dns2_ip_v4: 1.0.0.1 Google DNS dns1_ip_v4: 8.8.8.8 dns2_ip_v4: 8.8.4.4 Additional: it can increase connection quality in game and decrease ping.

Similar to this issue on Github which is fixed and available on FAF Develop. On Monday it will be part of the regular branch.

See also this topic. What is your hardware, and are you on a laptop?

Which client version is this?

Our steam linking enforcement did change recently as part of our upgrade to the login mechanism. It's now required for all accounts to be linked to steam (it used to be that really old accounts including yours were exempt). If you have a CD version of the game you can use it to redeem a copy of the steam version as well so this should not be a problem. You will need to link through the faforever.com website.

I am investigating why this is happening to some users and actually just made a beta release aimed at resolving this which you can try. You can download it here https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/releases/tag/v2021.10.0-beta. Let me know if it works for you

Right, that Vault fallback location fixed the issue! Thanks!

@sheikah said in Cannot use player number search filter for maps: Yes the update after 1.6.0 Thanks for the response!

Note that simspeed++ has barely any effect anymore after the cybran drones being significantly more performant since the last patch - it is essentially obsolete at this point

solved, i had it on an M2 SSD Drive and i moved it to a normal SSD which is also the boot drive now, it works like a charm. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience

Well, I guess I got no other choice then to just play something else. I don't really have the patience to go through my entire computer to figure out some issue with the FAF client.

@fuserr said in error during login: situation solved by installing client v1.6 beta. You wouldn't happen to have the download page for 1.6 beta? I am having the exact same issue and already tried ways to fix it.

The client cannot access the programData folder check permissions on all folders in C:/ProgramData/FAForever
