    RE: A problem with the FAF client. I can't log in

    I rebooted , reinstalled client and it still failed to login.
    Then I opened Steam and tried FAF client again ... logged in normally.
    Maybe if I waited a bit the problem could have resolved itself.

    RE: A problem with the FAF client. I can't log in

    I have this problem .... can not login to client.
    Was working fine yesterday.
    If I do "Login with Browser" it says login successful but the error still prevents client starting.

    RE: Could not game for 2 months

    I could run the game on Steam and also on LOUD_AI.
    The Steam version was old and Loud_AI seemed to always give miserable start resources to humans.
    FAF is much better game experience.
    I am glad to be back.

    Could not game for 2 months

    Hi guys,
    I am writing this post in the hope it may help other players that are suffering this problem.
    About two months ago after installing an update I lost access to my custom maps. In the FAF client I could not find a way to change the path back to my custom maps folder. That was not a big issue as all I had to do is move the custom maps to the new location.
    The real problem was that when I tried to start a custom game, co-op or replay the ice-server would start and then the game would shutdown with an obscure error.

    FAF did not write a game log.
    The solution suggested to fix this error was to reinstall. So I reinstalled 3x and it failed to resolve the problem. Then I did a full clean of any FAF files from my PC and reinstalled again. That also failed.

    Solution.
    By comparing files in C:/ProgramData/FAForever/Bin with the files on a PC that could run the game I found that BugSplat.dll and BugSplatrc.dll were missing from that folder on my PC. By copying those file into C:/ProgramData/FAForever/Bin from the original SCFA installation all came good.

    Why didn't the re-installations fix this?

    RE: AI Default Settings

    Thanks for the reply relentless ...
    I normally use AIx Sorian Turtle AI on land and AIx Sorian Water for navy. Both multipliers @1.2
    We play on TeamPlay_AI maps that have full set of FA Markers. Three Humans vs Three teamed Sorian Turtle AIx. AI factions are Aeon, Cybran and UEF matching our own factions.
    I have found if the Land Expansion Limit is set to 8 then the AI expands as it should.
    At the current limit of 5 the Sorian Turtle AIx does not expand to build on spare start positions or Large Expansion Areas ... it will sometimes build T2 weapons under shields on the most forward Small Expansion Area.

    RE: AI Options/Default Settings

    The AI performance has degraded further since the last patch. Now the AI does not tech up leaving mex still at T1 after 30 mins.
    We a told that help is on the way ...." I will do a hotfix to revert that. " keyser.
    It seems that even though the AI is not upgrading properly it is now expanding and building on small expansion areas.

    AI Options/Default Settings

    Hi,

    I have requested a change to the options/default AI settings to improve the AI performance.
    1./ Change Amount of Land Expansions Limit - Increase needed.
    2./ Change Amount of Naval Expansions Limit - reduction needed.

    There have been claims that the AI has been improved in some of the latest patches.
    Case 1./
    I do not agree as the AI is not expanding correctly on land and is much weaker as a consequence.
    When the AI can not expand the FA Markers can not be set to make the AI built more Plants and therefor builds less units. Also the AI has lost the ability to appear to have strategic intelligence.
    Plz change the default Land Expansions to 8[temporally] or fix the bug in the code.
    When 8 or 'unlimited' is selected it works as it should ... the AI expands to unused start positions and large and small expansion area markers... it could be argued that the AI is expanding too much, when set on unlimited, to have an efficient economy. This may prevent the AI teching up to T3 as quickly as is possible.

    At present the Land Expansion Limit setting is broken for settings of 5[default] and 6. I did not test 7. On 8 the AI does 3 expansions - two spare start positions and one large expansion. I did not test 9. When set on unlimited the AI expands to build bases on spare start positions, large expansion area markers and small expansion area markers.

    In case 2./ a different problem occurs. The AI builds too many expansions and that causes pathing problems and slows game speed.
    I don't think there is anything wrong with the Naval Expansion Limit code, I would just like to turn it down to a default of 3 or 2 so the AI does not overbuild navy. When four AIs build two shipyards each at each Naval Area marker the T3 ships get stuck in the shipyards.

    Please note that all tests games were played against multiple teamed AIx ... 3 or more.

    Any thoughts?
