    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!

    Why does faf chat constantly disconnect?

      Firstly no I won't post logs.

      Secondly, everyone I speak to has the same thing. FAF chat constantly gets disconnected, at least several times per hour?

      Why?

        I experience this as much as you say and it even has adverse affects of not being about to ping a player in a lobby who hasn't x because their chat is disconnected. I also experience disconnects from FAF while the client is open or when I am in a long lobby sim every hour give or take. It causes me to have to refaf mid lobby for no reason. Never get disconnects that effect me once a game is started though which is nice.

            Hi! I am sorry you are facing these issues. Would you please provide the client logs so the developers can look into it.

              I thought this was a well known issue for which the cause was something related to the ddos stuff?

                If anyone likes to help out: the latest alpha client should add auto reconnect to chat back. See alpha client announcement in Discord.

                  The issue seems to be more severe now with this new client update.

                  5 seconds after opening up the client, the chat disconnects lol

                    Unfortunately, the current testing phase comes at a bad time due to occasional DDoS attacks. I guess we have to wait until the situation improves, to have a better testing environment. Still, thanks for trying, tho!

                      In limited use I have noticed client 2025.2.0-alpha-1 seems to keep chat connected.
