These lines suggest that you have insufficent permissions to run whatever was passed to rundll32, I'm guessing that's launching the browser
or
You haven't linked the FAF binary correctly. -

@samae1 Try either changing the Default Browser in Windows Settings &/or clearing your browser cache.
@Samae1 May I suggest Vivaldi.
I know Windows is getting increasingly obtuse with how you go about changing your default applications like the browser. -
RE: Will TML ever be balanced?
@wtfboomnoob
Thank you for the clarification,
I recently became quite fond of the TML backpack so I was a bit shocked.I didn't know about the slow fire rate of the billy, but unless I'm mistaken, to achieve that fire rate you need to be dumping 100mass/s into the construction of the billy.
Not sure how necessary it is to slow ppl down beyond that, I mean sure if tehy have a paragon this gets silly, but they also have a paragon, things are gonna get silly. -
RE: Will TML ever be balanced?
@snoog said in Will TML ever be balanced?:
The wreckage overkill remains the largest issue IMO.
That said, firing speed is important too. ACU's just received a 30s fire speed nerf recently, so it makes sense for cybran to be made in line with the others as well.
Wait wait WHAAAAT ?
I haven't been able to play for the past month, are you telling me backpack TML is can only fire 2 missiles per minute now ? -
RE: Ejected: Invalid Player Data
@Jip @Sheikah
I would like to apologize if my previous response was to confrontational I was pretty irrate and being unable to reach for FAF to blow of some steam didn't help. :Þ
I'm glad to hear this will be rolled back and look forward to returning tothe game once the hotfix drops. -
RE: Will TML ever be balanced?
The fact that they remove wrecks of anything they kill is pretty bullshit.
Other than that I don't really have problems with them.
@wtfboomnoob
Since the missiles need to be loaded I think the firing rate isn't really an issue.
I have never heard anyone complain more about cybran tml than any other.
Besides, UEF and Seraphim can strap a full fledged TML to their back and make it mobile, which is a way bigger deal. (and without testing it specifically I'm pretty sure they fire faster to)I think that the problems with TML's are exactly the same as with Strat bombers, they have no conceivable counter of a lower tech level and you can't hold them back. I actually think the strat issue is way worse, but to stay on topic I won't go ranting about Air here.

RE: Ejected: Invalid Player Data
@jip said in Ejected: Invalid Player Data:
These guards exists to (somewhat) sanitize the values we receive in the lobby. As I mentioned on Github, we can* always extend this in the future. Not sure if that was supposed to be taken literally, haha.
I'd personally recommend to just change your name. But for the sake of purpose, @Sheikah what are the minimum and maximum length of a username? If I'm not mistaken it can be 3 to 32 characters.
Sanitize for what ?
The discussion you linked on github talks about to long strings being an attack vector that crashes lobbies but why are we then also introducing a lower bound?Like I said I have a history with my username, on FAF I've been using it for almost 8 years now, without issue I might add, and elsewhere for a decade or more.
This doesn't seem to caue any problems with ladder games, nor me making my own lobbies.
The lower bound of 3 seems arbitrary, fix no problems, and introduced to no actual benefit.@sheikah said in Ejected: Invalid Player Data:
Yes those are the character limits
My question is why have these limits been set?
More specifically why the lower limit?
What issues arrise from my username ? -
RE: Ejected: Invalid Player Data
Found the offending commit to fa
https://github.com/FAForever/fa/commit/5ccc5547ca10f44037fc6d7c73a4f73a9ea327cb
@Jip is responsible, where do these guards come from ? What are they guarding against ? -
RE: Ejected: Invalid Player Data
Why is that all of a sudden an issue ?
I have been using this nickname on FAF since I joined which is almost 8 years without issue.
Why does this not occur on matchmaking then ?
