for some reason I get a error log when ever i create a game lobby , this happens with or without mods or custom map.
Cannot create a game
@armoredcorenext I see this in your log:
warning: Unknown DirectSound speaker configuration 8. Defaulting to Stereo.
This is a possible indication that you have the dreaded sound bug. Simple fix steps are:
- Windows key > type: Control Panel > Open > Sound > Playback > select the Device you use:
- Configure > Stereo > finish configuration,
- Properties:
- Enhancements > Disable all enhancements,
- Advanced > no higher than 24 bit, 48000 Hz,
- Spatial Sound > Off,
- Restart or Shift+Shutdown (not just Shutdown) of PC
If your headphones come with any applet/program, then you may want to disable that & try using the headphones without it. Similarly, if they use a USB or Bluetooth dongle to connect to the PC, see if you can connect directly without the dongle.

With that said, I'd suggest that in the FAF client you go to the top left menu > Settings > Forged Alliance Forever > Use FAF Debugger when starting Forged Alliance > check > click "Get the latest version of the debugger". This will tell the game to write a more detailed log to help with future troubleshooting.
