@legendofthestars Supreme Score Board got broken some time ago, so be sure to use the fixed version "Supreme score board 2"

@rumtin most likely some Antivirus/Firewall setting is blocking FAF. Check both and include exceptions for FAF/SC.

@grindalf1 based on this list of common errors in the FAQ (https://forum.faforever.com/topic/4256/solutions-for-common-errors-with-the-faf-client-launcher-or-supreme-commander) yours seem to be case 1.

Problem:
RuntimeException: javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Tag mismatch!

Solution:
The client is unable to establish a secure connection to the content server for downloading the game files.

• Disable security software for testing purpose
• Check firewall settings, if it blocks anything related to secure connection/FAF Launcher

@reckless_charger They are and the recent range buff made them even better. However, the lack of mobile shields is a big disadvantage which gets abused quite a bit in the higher rating range.

@gavgav Did you click on "more info" when opening the installer as outlined on the FAF website (https://faforever.com/play) in section 1?

If that doesnt work, here is another workaround:

@thehonorablegeff Try to change your default browser and/or clear browser cache

@donnie Yeah its pretty archaic and not excatly user friendly xD. Otherwise, the mod works fine.

@hoschmosch I am using the exact same mod version as the one from the vault (version 6) and it works fine. If you enable a toggle, there is feedback written in the lower middle screen e.g

For the mod to work, both below need to be enabled via hotkey

The personal settings of the mod are safed in your game.prefs file (Guess you could even enable it in the file as well by setting the right argument as true). Here is how it looks on my end (search for SelectionDeprioritizerSettings).

@hoschmosch The mod needs to be enabled via hotkey which isnt obvious on first glance. Furthermore there are toggles for filitering domain/exotic/assisters which need to be enabled as well via hotkey.

@katharsas RIP

@darkorange Its a bit odd that you dont have the "more Info" sections which lets you install the file regardless of your PC beeing overprotective. Anyway, alternatively you can right click the installer file and get to the properties window. There, in the general tab, you should have the option to unblock the installer by hand and try again. That should do it.
Just out of curiosity, do you have limited admin rights on this PC? Would explain the behaviour.

@anybody00 did you restart your PC? I remember that that fixed it for someone with with a similar issue as Avast was still lurking around after it got uninstalled

@PopSniper
yes i think its some Nvidia related stuff which is bound to Alt+F2. You have to either unbind that in Nvidia software settings, or in FA, open up the keybindings window and set the cheat menu keybind to something else.

@popsniper are you sure that you enabled cheating in the lobby options menu?

see here

@mrziplays afaik nomads is buged with the vanilla AI. It should work though with M27/M28 AIs or Sorian edit(perhaps some others as well), all of which you can download in the mods tab.

@s7rm7rpr have you tried changing your default web browser temporarily for the online authorization? Its known that there are issues with some browsers in that stage.

@DyTkA This sounds alot like some of your antivirus is preventing it. Especially Avast was reported to be rather nasty lately with FAF. Best to check and include exceptions for FAF and the game.exe.
@MostLostNoob maybe you got any ideas.

@heavenly are you running any UI mods?

@lord_wiader "but the game client (2024.1.1) won't start" sounds like something is blocking the client from doing that. I suggest you check if your antivirus software is interfering (especially avast user report issues recently). Setting up an exception of the client and the .exe is recommended.

@deribus Considering the Novax doesnt miss, I dont think 13% less dps per mass is actually that significant. Never really felt they are OP though, just annoying and an APM sink for the defending team.
