Open discussion on testing and rollout of the new ice adapter
-
@Brutus5000 I and a few other in Australia play most weeks and really only ever play custom games. We are probably a good group to test, because we seem to often hit connectivity issues that cause people to leave and rejoin and switch networks sometimes. We should be able to manage getting eveyone on the same test client too.
Are there some basic instructions for how to access, install and run the test client?

Not yet, because we didn't find time to build a test release yet. DDoS is more important to fix right now (and it is really time consuming).

Here is the first test build
~~https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/releases/tag/vpioneer-beta-1~~
Please remember: it is not compatible to regular players!Edi: Ok I was told it does not launch. Annoying. Need to do more testing on Windows...

And this one should also login https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/releases/tag/v2025.6.0-pioneer-beta-1

FYI for any testers: You can install the Pioneer Build Client separately and have two working clients on your system - just choose a different install directory.
-
For anyone installing the test client on Windows I would recommend taking a copy of your shortcut (and renaming) before you install the test client, as this will be overwritten by the test client installer.
I have tested and the client did run, but did not launch the game client. Bug raised with details in the repo. https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/issues/3355

A new beta version has been released that fixes the issue of the ice adapter not starting at https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/releases/tag/v2025.6.0-pioneer-beta-2

Is there a current status?
I tested “v2025.6.0-pioneer-beta-2” a few weeks ago.
My experience was as follows.
Client 1 was able to create a lobby (v2025.6.0-pioneer-beta-2).
Client 2 was unable to connect to the lobby (v2025.6.0-pioneer-beta-2).There were no general connection problems with either client, as the standard version of FAF worked.

@Sheikah
Is it still being actively worked on?
If so, is there a new version that can be tested? -
I don't have time to work on it currently.
It doesn't work on testers machines with Windows, but it worked between 2 Linux machines
