    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 new to FAF and I did all the steps required to get FAF up and running.

      However, I have run into a problem. Whenever I create a custom game to play against AI, the AI end up doing nothing but standing in place. If you fly a scout over them they will attack it but that's all they do.

      I dont know how to even begin to fix this so I need your help 😞

        @mrmeowster Welcome to FAF!

        Sorry to see you're having issues. Can you please go to client > top left menu > Show logs folder > logs > sort by Date Modified. From there, click the Reply button at the bottom of this page between the 👁 (Views) & the Mark unread button, then click on Upload file. Next, select the most recent game_21xxxxxx.log file (should be of the game that just froze/crashed) to post into here so those that can help (not me) have that data to look at.

          Could possibly be a map without AI support? Try to see if the issue is solved by playing a map with known AI support, such as Project Tabula.

          Alternatively, you could try some of the new AI mods, such as M28AI. You may download this mod from the 'Mods' tab in the launcher.

              I have the exact same problem as the original poster. I've uploaded my log file. Basically with both regular AIx and also with Uveso AIx, the commander just stands there and does literally nothing. Thoughts?

                @mondena Do you play with nomads?
                If so try without nomads as they are currently broken.
                If nobody fixed it (which I don't think Jip did) then the AI won't work when nomads are enabled.
                M28/27 or some other AI mods may work though.

                  Correct nomads seem to be enabled looking at the log

                    Thanks guys, turning off nomads fixed it. However, nomads are great, will that likely get fixed at some point?

                      @mondena The nomad devs aren't really around anymore, so only Jip is occasionally fixing some things. So I wouldn't bet on nomads being playable most of the time.

                        @mondena M28AI should be compatible with nomads if you still wanted to play vs AI with nomads
