    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!

      Hi,

      I set up everything for Linux according to anything I can find on the topic, including the Wiki and stickied threads in #technical-help but I cannot get my game to launch through FAF. Forged Alliance launches fine on Steam. What's weird is I hosted a bot game just fine, and my friend watched the replay. But when we tried to play, I discovered I can not join their game, or any game, or even host another game myself.

      Now I am getting the following error when trying to do anything in FAF:

      NotifiableException(i18nKey=game.start.couldNotStart, i18nArgs=[])

        The highlighting on this forum post made it clear my run file needs to be executable. That fixed it. Thank you.
