I just upgraded FAF Client — I haven't played in a while — and got this issue.

My default browser is Firefox

Solution: Click "Login with browser" did the trick. (must click "dismiss" on the error message first)

Thanks, magge!

Thanks, magge!

I typed in the red dotted field. I assume that could be the cause of this, but I'm not a professional programmer

No, I can't. Ok; word time:

In the FAF client: Settings —> Forged Alliance Forever and then edit the string in "Maps and Mods Location".

Could it be that the client creates a new folder each time I entered or deleted a character?

Can I add image here

I just logged in to FAF and got a message than my maps and mods folder where currently backed up by OneDrive and that moving them was recommended.

So I (logged in) and went to settings etc. and changed the adress. NOTE: I typed the string, I did not press 'choose'

Result:

Or in text: It created a lot of empty folders. It did not transfer the files (I did that manually).

I also did, and still do, pray to all the gods and devils that the FAF app didn't delete any files. Also sent a curse in the general direction of your developers.

In seriousness: This was a tad amusing and very many tads unamusing. Fix it?

If I'm not back later today/tomorrow to yell at you some more it's probably because my PC got toast. Or that I forgot. That happens too.

Just to clarify: This is not a joke post on my part.

Kind regards, you silly goofs.

@jcvjcvjcvjcv said in Dual screen causes mouse pointer to disappear:

Kill the Magnifier, it makes the cursor disappear in FAF. Took me a while to find that out..

That was it!

I set Windows element size to 100% and now my mouse pointer works in FA!

(What's weird is that 150% is "standard" in Windows 8.1)

Much to my saviour! (^__^)

@Stealth9 :

Thanks a lot!

The cursor returns if I set it to 'windowed'. And it disappears if I try to set it to fixed resolution.

But I can play with one monitor, and that's fine. The border I can tolerate, but there's a few issues., like no building animation for my ACU / engineers.

But that's something else, I suppose. I can play the game now and try to solve those other issues myself, perhaps open a new ticket if I can't do it myself.

Thanks a lot, Stealth9 and Giebmasse!

@Stealth9 : Thank you for your input.

I wasn't able to open the UI party menu, though, as I have no visual on my mouse pointer.

My problem is that after I added a second physical monitor to my computer, I can't see my mouse pointer in lobby or in game. Which make starting a game a chore, open a menu like Party UI a nightmare and playing the game impossible.

I'll have a look at Party UI once/if I get my mousepointer back, though! Thanks again!

@Giebmasse

Thanks for reply!

In the in-game menu under video:
Primary adapter is windowed
Secondary adapter is disabled

Which UI mod(s) should I try? (I assume they're available in Downloard's client, under vault, mods?
