    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

      Can't get games - they seem to work, then the loading screen never connects.

      I got a 7-minute timeout.
      Tried turning off my PC completely and restarting - tried again - then got a 20 minute timeout...

      Am I going to get permabanned if I try to play more tonight?
      I've never seen these problems before...
      (I have ICE logging on, but I don't know where the log is saved - I only see
      fa_path.lua
      in "C:\ProgramData\FAForever"
      )

        You do not get permabanned for the timeouts - The max. timeout is 30 minutes AFAIK, and it will decrease over time.

        My blind guess would be, your security software is interfering with the connection, check that first.

        If it still does not work, then attach a client/replayID log, please.

        On Windows: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs

        And for two days there is a DDOS happening as well from time to time, when you are unlucky you could get caught in between.
