    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 am getting the exact same error when trying to start/join a customer game. I can join matchmaking and coop just fine. I am on Windows 11. I installed the newest Java, updated windows. Uninstalled and reinstalled FAF twice. Tried turning ICE on and off. Nothing is working.

                  Thanks for providing the file. It looks like it has issues for exactly this line under the LobbyPresets:

                  PlayerName = 'Tengelin (TargetDrone (ИИ: норма))',

                  If I remove that, it works. The rest needs some further testing why it happens.

                    Having the same issue, seems to be issue of client game.prefs reader.
