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!
2025.1.0 networking issue?
-
After installing 2025.1.0 about an hour ago I have been joined into games by matchmaker 4-5 times. Every time though, I see a new behavior in the table showing connectivity between the players:
- It starts out as usual from the past. A few players aren't connected to start with. After a few seconds more and more of them turn green.
- All diagonal cells end up showing green. I expect the game to start momentarily.
- Then, one by one, the diagonal cells go from green to black/see-through. After a few seconds they are all black/see-through.
- At this point the game doesn't start. But it also doesn't time out and abort.
Are others experiencing this?

Check your security software if it blocks anything - perhaps the new client update triggered some false flags and those files/connections need to be whitelisted again.
Otherwise, check the suggestions from here: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/8579/how-to-fix-connection-issues-in-faf-client-and-supreme-commander -
I'm not sure what changed, but today it works.
