login issue

This is most likely a firewall or antivirus issue be as the client cannot reach api.faforever.com

Or a temporary DNS problem:

Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: failed to resolve 'api.faforever.com' after 2 queries

I mean you posted here, so in general it works 🤷

He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they live underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is playin' FAF, playin' FAF"

Yes I have seen a few people run into this with the newest client and I am not sure why

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

Please try the next beta version to see if that helps https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/releases/tag/v2021.10.0-beta1

@sheikah
I got a similar error with the newest v2021.10.0-beta1:

@Sheikah scratch that, my /etc/resolv.conf was looking like crap. It included my router ip and one malformed ipv6. I changed it to just my DNS server. I was able to log in with this bad resolv.conf on earlier versions.

I can confirm that it is most likely a DNS problem.
to fix it:

  • set DNS to 1.1.1.1 (2nd:8.8.8.8)
  • in command prompt: ipconfig /flushdns
  • close downloards FAF client
  • actually close the application completely via the task manager (it did not start; the process was still running. Not sure if it kept running from first launch or did not start completely from second start)
  • start downloards FAF client

result: logged in correctly

Good to know that it seems to be cause by bad dns configs. But weird how this version seems to be more sensitive to them

Hello!
I have the same problem with loging in with the new version since 2021.11.0.
I did the following...

I deinstalled my Antivirus
I completely reset my Windows network
I flushed my DNS
I reset my router
I turned off my firewall completely
I installed older versions of FAF, but it says "Your version is outdatet- you need to update to a new version" 😞
I deinstalled and Installed FAF like 20 times between these steps.

Still the same error..
Anyone any ideas?

Greetings
John

@badjohn can you post the error log you get when trying to login with version 2011.11.0 (best in a seperated thread).

in the meantime, you could try version 1.4.6 which uses an older login version

Hello
Thx - I posted the Logfile in a new thread like recommended.
