    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!

      I reinstalled my windows. After reinstallation, my account name became separate.
      old is - EshkinCat
      new is - Eshkin Cat

      When you run a newly installed faf, the client creates a new user folder on the system drive.
      and does not use the profile that was originally created by me.
      faf should create files and folders for its work in Eshkin Cat, but instead faf creates a nearby EshkinCat folder and places its files and folders there...

      How to fix this problem?
      Why do I need a new user folder lol???

      onedrive separated from ssystem
      win sync disabled
      My profile is administrator1.png 2.png

        i can comment on that "run as administrator warning"
        if you have UAC off you will get false warining about running client as administrator

        It does looks extremely weird
        what is even inside the new folder?
        usually FAF uses mostly programdata anyway
        placing a space in the middle of the username is just so random, i can't beleave that FAF is doing that

        Edit: you can also check owner of new folder just in case...
        also old folder and new folder might be switched arond? are you suer that EshkinCat is old and Eshkin Cat is new?

          does it create new user or just new folder in users?

          can open that with compmgmt.msc in cmd

            Perhaps the Cyrillic characters caused an exception or random bug.

            Can you share your client.log, please? You can navigate to it via the FAF Client:
