    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!

          FYI for any testers: You can install the Pioneer Build Client separately and have two working clients on your system - just choose a different install directory.

            For anyone installing the test client on Windows I would recommend taking a copy of your shortcut (and renaming) before you install the test client, as this will be overwritten by the test client installer.

            I have tested and the client did run, but did not launch the game client. Bug raised with details in the repo. https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/issues/3355

                Is there a current status?
                I tested “v2025.6.0-pioneer-beta-2” a few weeks ago.
                My experience was as follows.
                Client 1 was able to create a lobby (v2025.6.0-pioneer-beta-2).
                Client 2 was unable to connect to the lobby (v2025.6.0-pioneer-beta-2).

                There were no general connection problems with either client, as the standard version of FAF worked.

                  Is it still being actively worked on?
                  If so, is there a new version that can be tested?

                    I don't have time to work on it currently.

                    It doesn't work on testers machines with Windows, but it worked between 2 Linux machines 🤷
