    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!

        ice-adapter.log
        game_24389195.log

        Are those the relevant logs?
        I see some errors in the ICE log, but have no idea whether those are related to the issue I'm experiencing.

          Actually, I realized I'm not 100% sure those two logs are from a game that completed to the point where I got the screen above. It's possible it might have been from a game which didn't get that far (e.g. because some other player didn't turn green). Here are new logs which definitely come from a game which landed me in the state I describe above.

            I just tried ladder 1v1. That worked on the first try. But 3v3 has been failing at least 20 times over the past week with the above behavior.
            With the 1v1, the map rendered on the connection screen, and then the game started.
            I wish I had some idea about what the root cause might be. Perhaps it's related to the maps in 3v3 and my client not being able to render them?

              I am not sure, if it is related to DDoS, the recent patch, which may cause connection issues for a small amount of users, or your network environment.

              What security software are you using?

              Can you check this thread and when you are done going through all points, posting some WinMTR result, please? Also with Bandwidth and Load Test.

                I figured this out. It's not due to any networking issue.
                The problem was that somehow FAF or the java executable were blocked in some new way from accessing %USER_PROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\maps... There were java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException issues in multiple log files.
                I turned off Windows Security "Controlled Folder Access", and things work. I think that had been turned on when I had the machine connected to work many years ago.
                I have no idea why this lack of folder access became an issue now. I think it is due to some change with 2025.2.0. But it could be a change in the java executable or elsewhere.

                        If you're having the same symptoms, including the map image never showing on the connection screen, then you might not have the same root cause (Windows 10 "controlled folder access" turned on). Something else might be preventing either the FAF client or the game from accessing the maps folder. Perhaps the two (FAF client and game) are looking for the maps in different locations. I would start trying to figure out if there is something going wrong with the map download, generation, or loading by the game.

                        As an aside, using Windows 7 at this point is pretty scary from a security perspective. I realize even installing the FAF client is also a kind of scary security issue, but using Win7 is next level. If you can update to an OS which gets regular security updates, that would be a good idea. Don't do any banking or such on that Win7 machine!
