If you allow for the exe to differ and thus the hash to differ there isnt really a way to guarantee the version which could lead to a lot of desyncs. The only solution would be to get the exe then do the wrapping after the version is guaranteed but this could still lead to issues.

I Have since realized that I have had an account from way back in the day and now want to know if there is a way to skip the 6 month queue to get me name on my new account

Ah, thank you all for the help, it all appears to be running ok now. I incorrectly assumed that mod was essential and running without it was vanilla FA - I have no idea how it ended up in the mods list.

I will remove the mod so that I do not accidentally run with it!

I spent some time debugging the leaderboard issue today and I think I’ve found out why it’s not working. https://github.com/FAForever/server/issues/687

very weird. @arma473 that is the picture i currently have set. Btw everything looks fine on my end at the moment

It's more a question of setting things up correctly.

the error says : "nie można odnaleźć określonego pliku" : "The specified file could not be found"

Where is your Forged Alliance Install and is it a Steam install? was Forged Alliance run once from steam?

did you tell FAF where to find Forged Alliance?

the path seems to be wrong. you need to point to the entire "Supreme Commander Forged Alliance" directory. not the exe, or bin.

Do like he does in this video :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCL8rOYqS5E

open the forged alliance folder from steam and click on the path to select it then Ctlr-C to copy it, then go back to FAF settings and Ctrl-V paste it in.

To me it never works in years.
The issue isnt that swords still displaying after the game ended, the issue is that the the only swords / map display i have are the one that were active when i launch the client. It doesnt change/refresh after.

Some other player reading this could confirm or not if they have the same issue.

Deinstall client. Manually delete all remains of the folder (usually C:\Program Files\Downlords Faf Client), reinstall

I'm going to assume that you are on Windows 10, here's a quick guide to find what antivirus you are using:

press the windows key on your keyboard or the start button on the bottom left, then write virus

Open the shown Virus & threat protection.

On the right side, select the Manage providers link under "Who's protecting me?"

There you will find the information you are looking for

Post a screenshot or let us know what antivirus you are using so we might help you.

Client puts you in #russian automatically if your system language is Russian. If you changed it, you can autojoin it in Settings -> Chat -> Auto-Join Channels.

Try load it in a browser and see if it works

@Brutus5000 said in Friend getting kicked for not having mods, despite DLing them each time:

There is an error on uploading a mod in the log. If you are playing this mod your friend has the newest version but the rest of you don't.

So worked on this last night and still no solution. The mods currently causing problems are BlackOps: Unleashed and BlackOps: EXUnits. (BlackOps: ACUs works for some reason). We have doublechecked that we are both on version 19 from the mod vault. At one point, I have even zipped up my mod folder and sent it to them to unzip -- Regardless of how we make sure the mods are installed, what happens is;

IF I HOST:

a) They attempt to join my game
b) FAF attempts to download the BlackOps mods (even though they have the them)
c) When they complete the DL, it installs it overtop the mods we already had installed.
d) They then join and are insta-kicked because it says they don't have the mods.

IF THEY HOST:

A) they cannot start a game with the BlackOps and EXUnits mods.. only BlackOps ACU. Mod manager in the lobby says they do not have the mod.

And Like I say, they have uninstalled, deleted all folders, and reinstalled.. we have zipped my mod folder up.. We have tried checking/unchecking vault fallback.

It's just that no matter what files are in the mod folder, it tries to DL files from the mod vault, and then can't see those files (or they're corrupt) or something.

Same problem here. Sophos Endpoint Protection (Professional) antivirus. I expect a home user would be able to go to his log and whitelist the process. I outsource my IT. I'll reach out to that service group for a fix.

А если после удаления так же не работает? Удалил все: и faf клиент и саму игру. переустановил и такая же ошибка

I have the same problem.

When i start the launcher on my win 7 PC, i always get this warning. (admin is the only user on this PC)

I am ignoring it. As far as i know you can't disable the warning.

(And basically i am not starting it with admin rights, i'm starting it as User admin but normal non-admin rights.)

Yes vanilla's game is working fine

@Printer Had the same thing occur recently. Got notification NVIDA control wasn't installed independently of FAF so-

game_13570399.log

ice-adapter.log

client.log

I'll try the UI mod, and reinstalling NVIDA.
