but now I need to verify my ownership of a game nobody owns
You couldn't be any more wrong.
Nothing is stopping you from making a mod to change the name of their units if you want to, but I highly doubt it will be officially integrated into FAF if that's what you were asking for.
Personally, I don't think there's much of a point in giving them human-readable names, it's part of the faction alien flavor.
I think this situation is pretty bad:
-
Now even more people know that you can cheat this way (I didn't). Now that it is publicly available, it's safe to assume that everyone will abuse it (or try to).

This just takes away a feature without even fixing the bug/exploit. If this can't be fixed, there MUST be a workaround, going as far as kicking out dead players if it comes to it.
To be clear, I am not saying that making this exploit known was a mistake, but a real solution must be found, not something that will take away a feature that many enjoyed while doing nothing to prevent anyone that wants to cheat from doing it.
I'm not sure it's to be considered an exploit to begin with, and I highly doubt that so many people don't know specifically about it, besides it is even mentioned in the loading tips
which also further mention
.
Therefore it's not really hidden at all: play enough games and, even if you don't learn about it by experience, you'll read the relevant tip.
I personally would just consider this a game mechanic like any other.
Interested to see what others would say.
I can't take you seriously when you say that this will reduce toxicity.
Here's your best friend
It won't tell you directly if the game is ranked or not, but you can at least check if the host has put some option that will unrank it... you can always just ask while in lobby.
Let's avoid any misunderstanding so here's some correct pics:
It still looks like an audio issue to me, one of your last lines in the crashlog says "warning: SND: Error playing cue 1 on bank 5 [music]". You'll notice it's the same as the ones you were getting in the previous crashlog.
Are you -REALLY- sure you have configured your audio as stereo under windows and not as
5.1/7.1/surround/whatever?
Try looking up your error on google, you'll get some more insights and tips.
It might be a device incompatibility, or it might be because you are plugging it through USB instead of the audio jack, or it might be the device-specific software giving problems (try closing it or double check the settings there).
One of the discussions that you will find mentions deleting the music files from the game as a "fix", you might want to try that (make sure to make a backup just in case, so you won't have to redownload/reinstall).
Well, on that note...

I find this post slightly frustrating.
You are way too nice to even have wasted this much time writing such a well-structured post when this person clearly didn't spend more than five seconds on it.
Do check your RAM timings, that could easily make all the difference.
@tenschie said in Game Crash mid game:
It should not be the sourround sound problem, got that deactivated
Unfortunately, your logs show XACT errors, so there is still something wrong with your audio setup.
There's already a FAQ on how to increase one's rating, wouldn't it be better to reformat this FAQ to focus on getting better at the game?

Hello @happy_balloon!
Indeed it broke—thankfully it's enough to download the first mission again from the FAF client (black day) to fix it.
You have XACT errors; please search the forum and you'll find all the possible solutions. The faqs are a good starting point (just setting audio to stereo might not be enough).
What a great post from a global moderator, seems fitting, really show the community spirit.
I can't make any guarantees, but if you just say you have a xeon e5 5680 3.3 ghz instead of a generic "trust me, it's fine", you'll probably find that things might improve.
Jerks will still be jerks tho.
