    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!

    Screen Flickering, then blackscreen.

      Since today it happened two times, first i got screen flickering with CRT like lines and then the screen becomes completly black, except the cursor, wich is still rendered and movable.
      The game continues running in the background, i can select units and buildings, acording to sound effects and the cursor changes to patrol and reclaim.

            We need logs!

            You can find them here:
            b2d1437a-9146-4adf-a7be-ce537d0ef773-image.png

            and then 'Show log folder', find the one that matches your game.

                Could you try and host on the regular game type (FAF or FAF Develop?), see if it still happens?

                    @jip I'm having similar problems. This log is from a game I hosted: game_18456774.log . This log is from a game someone else hosted: game_18456848.log

                    The game froze with the UI flickering but my inputs were still accepted as I could pause the game and it would pause the game for my two buddies aswell. Alt+Tabbing out and back in lead to just a blackscreen. The game continued uninterrupted for them until I alt+f4'd the game.

                            Related to the FakeRings errors in the logs - It is getting fixed asap, in the meantime deactivate the Depth scanning feature via options.

                              This should be fixed with the current release.
