    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!

    Github is slow in Europe

      Hello there

      Is anyone else experiencing issues getting the client from github in Europe?

      I wanted to get back in FAF, but downloading the client from github via the FAF website was extremely slow (50kb/s).

      After some research, I found that it is a mainly European-thing; when I used a VPN to North-America, I was able to get some decent speeds (2mb/sec).

      Needless to say: at 50kb/sec, taking half an hour to get the client, a lot of new players might give up at that stage...

        I believe that the download button on the website uses a mirror but @Brutus5000 would know more

          The auto-update in the client points to this mirror: http://faf-mirror.brutus5000.net/

          And your great-great-great-granddaughter
          Is playin' FAF, playin' FAF"
