    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!

      Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with FAF that is unusual and hard to explain.

      When I go to join my friends lobby, FAF will attempt to launch, fail to do so, FAF will close, and the desktop shortcut deletes its self.

      On a fresh install, works first time but the time afterwards this happens, everytime.

      Any assistance would be most appreciated as this is way beyond my understanding, Thanks.

        @soviet_cyber I would suggest that you start by adding an exception/exclusion for the FAF Client in both the active scan & firewall sections of your AV software & Windows Security.

        If that doesn't work, then open Run (Windows+R) & go to the following:

        %USERPROFILE%/AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs

        Sort by Date Modified. You should see a client.log file (the one without the date). Click the Reply button at the bottom between the 👁 (View) icon & the "Mark unread" button. From there, drag/drop your client.log file into the Reply message window so those that can help (not me) have that data to look at.
