When i select to join a game, FAF loads up and i sit in the connecting screen for some time. I can cancel and the game goes back to the UI and it seems to work fine.
If i join a 3v3 ladder it joins sometimes connects to all the players. But it will not progress and sits in the 6/6 connected screen till it automatically resets.
What ive done:
Re-install
mess with the connection settings in the FAF UI
Is there a way i can try de bug see to whts going on?
Maybe security settings blocking connections.
You could attach a client.log and maye game.logs when they exist to narrow down the issue
Here is a link to a guide https://discord.com/channels/197033481883222026/1083863823083122750
In case you do not have access to Discord:
@blackyps Thats not possible the log is to big. If i knew what was relevant i could cut it down
So after a complete wipe from my PC removed all the data i could of the game, and a complete re-install again. It works...
However upon start up of the cleint now. I receive a Warning message - Maps and Mods path detected to be in One Drive, One dirve can cause issues during the game as it has a lock on the files during synchronization. It is advised that you change your amps and mods path in the client settings (i have done this message still persists).
Anyway it works but i was unable to figure out why i had the connection issue.

The only error ive managed to have happen. While aborting the connection screen. Hope this gives a clue
Well thats what ive thought initially, but why after a hard reset and re-install did i briefly operate. But once i exited it then went to play again the issue started.
Edition Windows 10 Enterprise
Version 22H2
OS build 19045.3324
I dont have any security except what comes with windows, no vpn no third party nothing. Ive had a look at the settings but nothing stood out as an issue
Internets fine drops out like everyone else randomly playing faf and when im not playing faf it never drops out and its fast enough from AUS. I was playing faf lol every single day up until this issue ( i have a problem i know so dam addictive).
@sonofibis I don't know whether this is of any help, but: no "security except what comes with windows" can still easily be enough security to stop applications working properly. Sometimes more significantly the less commercially successful those applications are.
I think it's important to set up firewall rules, allowing important programs (like FaF!) through the firewall, very much including the standard windows defender/firewall.
Well i have managed to fix the issue for now, i did check the security settings and firewall settings there was nothing i could see blocking FAF or SupCom.
Unfortunately how overcame the issue does not lead to answers. I simply upgraded from windows 10 to 11 did another un-install of both and re-install. And now its working, with exception to some annoying error i get still.
Warning message - "Maps and Mods path detected to be in One Drive, One dirve can cause issues during the game as it has a lock on the files during synchronization. It is advised that you change your amps and mods path in the client settings." for some reason i cannot change this location the FAF settings change folder doesn't work.
Anyway game works and TF for that ;D
