    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!

          Please, can you give feedback if it fixes your issue with the malformed exception you encountered for "Game.prefs":

          Пожалуйста, дайте обратную связь, если это исправит вашу проблему с неправильно сформированным исключением, с которым вы столкнулись для "Game.prefs":

                          la0michael0 issue is not related to malformed stuff, just generic permission stuff

                                  Having issues joining custom games :-

                                  Client Version: 2023.1.2
                                  java.lang.Error: java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException: Input length = 1
                                  at java.base/java.lang.String.decodeWithDecoder(String.java:1212)
                                  at java.base/java.lang.String.newStringNoRepl1(String.java:786)
                                  at java.base/java.lang.String.newStringNoRepl(String.java:738)
                                  at java.base/java.lang.System$2.newStringNoRepl(System.java:2390)
                                  at java.base/java.nio.file.Files.readString(Files.java:3369)
                                  at com.faforever.client.mod.ModService.readPreferencesFile(ModService.java:313)
                                  at com.faforever.client.mod.ModService.readActiveMods(ModService.java:329)
                                  at com.faforever.client.mod.ModService.enableSimMods(ModService.java:231)

                                  The alpha client resolved the issue, however it reset all settings and blueprints.
