But it's so strange, i made no changes/updates to my PC and it was working fine last night!
I turned off my VPN, Firewall, uninstalled and reinstalled the client.

Could anyone help!? I just wanna FAF man...

Yeager

NoRest4TheWicked

Having the same issue

NoRest4TheWicked

They did Maintenace about 3 hours ago and i haven't been able to log in since.

ShooterMcGavin

@NoRest4TheWicked that makes sense, i've been trying since about that time as well

NoRest4TheWicked

@ShooterMcGavin Everything is going haywire today. It's been hard enough to try and keep the client open and now i can't even get past the logging in screen

ShooterMcGavin

@NoRest4TheWicked absolutely! Earlier I was able to get through, but once i tried to start a game, it would just keep "Connecting". Now like you said, can't even get passed the logging in screen
Ok so i'm not the only one here, i thought my PC was betraying me that bastard.

@ShooterMcGavin It's been hard enough to just play the campaign. The Client made my computer force restart the other day and now I can't even play it. I only play the campaign and modded multiplayer. Ranked and Rating do not matter to me. Tbh I would still be a 0 Rating if a 1500 Rated person didn't control+k to give me a higher rating so I could play in other games because he recognized that I had some talent. I play Faf for the fun of it. Modded campaigns are fun. Sometimes having too much fun, you forget the enemy has nukes and you die because no SMD LMAO. Having to deal with client issues every day is a hassle all on its own. This is pushing my irritation

@magge Thank you for the update. Please keep us updated on the issue. I really appreciate it.

@magge @ShooterMcGavin I just noticed this but when you try to log in to the game it doesn't show the server to log into. I wonder if that is part of the problem?

BassJunkie_1

Was hoping to wake up to it all being up and working

coolburn

Also have issues logging in... I'm just stuck on the loading screen error "could not reach server after 60 attempts".

Does anyone know if someone is looking into this issue?

NoRest4TheWicked

@coolburn yes the DevOps team is looking into the issue. No updates as of yet though the moderators will let people know when the problem is fixed
@magge any updates?

NoRest4TheWicked

@coolburn @BassJunkie_1 @ShooterMcGavin @Yeager I am able to log in to FAF now I think the problem was finally fixed
