    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!

    DDoS and now something new again?

      It may also help to share (client) logs in this forum topic. For example, I can't read what's on the image of the command line in your image.

        @Jip If you're interested, you can search for “anyone have same” in the faf Discord and you'll find the players post. But its just a cmd ping check with a timeout message.

        Logs (advanced-ice-adapter.log / ice-adapter.log):
        Neuer Ordner.rar

        Based on the responses, I would say that the client's behavior and the connection failure are unknown to those responsible and are new?

            I think Ive experienced this today as well. Internet running smooth for days for all kinds of stuff and then I play a faf game, and as soon as the game starts, It drops for a minute out of nowhere.

              It happened 2 time to me and others while farms was live-streaming (while playing faf) a week ago during the weekend. Sadly i forgot to enable logs on my router but i'm almost certain ddos is being targeted at players now

                    I feel like it got really worse last week. Ping timing out some time after the start of the game.

                        I've encountered the same problem. When I enter the lobby, the game starts, and after a minute, I lose connection with all the players. If I go to the router settings, it shows that the download speed is 100 Mbps, and the upload speed is not significant. It takes a couple of minutes or a router reboot to restore the connection.

                          Russian streamers have not been able to play normally since about February of this year, in 90% of games players start to drop out in the first 3-5 minutes of the game, just one by one, sometimes the streamer's internet drops out too (including me) and it looks like they've taken on all players now and not just breaking streamers' games
                          You can just look at the average game length of my replays this year to see for yourself

                            I didn't experience any connection issues related to me for a very long time. Today I played 1 game together with Robogear. It got ddosed 6 mins into the game (with an extra 3 minutes pause) #25499255. After that I've fully rebooted PC, yet another ddosed, the one when players loosing connection with seemingly everyone happened in the very next game #25499413

                            My ping with google.com didn't exceed 200 ms in any of those games (I'm constantly runniung gping in background)

                              this happened recently, I went into the game and after 4 minutes I started losing connection with everyone, faf was disconnected and the internet just didn't work, I couldn't open YouTube, twitch, check my internet speed, absolutely nothing worked, after 15 minutes passed, and I went into the game again, and again at 15+- minutes the same thing happened and the situation didn't improve until I reset my router settings

                                Same here. I have a friend of mine with an HBO in network security, and as soon as he saw my router logs, he said its DEFINATELLY a targeted attack on a known IP address
                                It really hurt me today because only today I learned that my provider issues a dynamic IP for 1 day, and I cant change it myself
                                I'm in the Netherlands, so there's 0 hope to call my provider and ask him to change my ip when its 21 o clock, so my internet is basically dead until tomorrow.
                                I played a game of faf 1.5 hours ago. Just a usuall 6v6. Then I see that I start lagging. My friend's voices on discord become robotic, my stream drops, and then ultimatelly I timeout to all other players in the game. 30 minutes in a match. And now I can still see that the attack continues and my home wifi is battling for its life. And its been over 1.5 hours since I disconnected from faf altogether.
                                It restores connection for 1 or 2 minutes and then its dead again for like 10 minutes or so
                                I guess Ill have to use mobile hotspot until tomorrow

                                Playing faf with the possibility that my network dies altogether for days is out of the question, so I'm dropping this game until these dos attack issues are proven to be fixed

                                    @Robogear sorry but it is impossible to play with you much longer than since February, this is done by one of your viewers, I don't remember the last time I could play with you, even 2 years ago, I was already attacked on your stream, I don't blame you, it's not your fault that there are such people, I just mean that this problem was much earlier than February of this year

                                      Can share my router's logs if someone thinks it might be useful to resolve the issue

                                          This is kind of a massive issue. The attacker(s) can find out everyone's ip without being in the game itself and without connecting to the lobby (as i had restrictions enabled). So I assume people can find out the ip via chat in faf (as was the case once before a while ago).
                                          Ofc i dont know this for certain, so take this with a grain of salt. I believe we cant even disconnect from the chat on purpose, there is only the option reconmect

                                            @Nuggets One could damage their connection, thus disconnecting from FAF and chat, and then only reconnect to FAF.
