FAF Failure - Update 2023.1.1+

[NooBoor]

More and more people can't play FAF. Before the 2023.1.1 update, everything was very good, after this 2023.1.1 + update, many people cannot play. Why?

What people? What are you talking about? What's happening? Could you be more vague? I suspect not.

Damn son, how deep up your own arse are you not to see all the forum topics about problems with the client.

There is a known issue after the last update which only affects a very small user base. There are still playing thousands of players, there is no need to create dramatic titles, especially when the issue is already being investigated. It is unfortunate that you are affected by it, but you can still play the game, when you simply remove the Game.prefs.
