Hello everyone,

I have a bug that completely ruin my game experience (see here).
I reinstalled both the game (via steam uninstall) and FAF (using windows uninstall program function) and the bug is still here. I clicked on "erase metadata" when uninstalling FAF.

However, I noticed that some data still remain after game reinstall. For instance, I still have my blueprints, and my game options are somewhat saved.
It makes me think that my uninstallation was not complete.

How can I make sure my reinstallation is entirely fresh ?

More importantly, if you have a solution to my bug here, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I still have the issue.

I reinstalled the game and FAF but it seems that it didn't really reset all my parameters (so maybe that's why the bug is kept). How to make sure to have a fresh re install?
As a workaround: is there a keyboard key allowing me to select tech levels? I looked at it in the option but I didn't find.

This bug is really annoying, it can ruin games.

Thanks.

I confirm that even with all UI mods disabled there is this bug. It is really annoying it can really ruin games at critical moments. No one has an idea how to fix it?

Actually I'm lost. I recently also had the bug with "Penguin's icon mod" only enabled. I will try again with absolutely 0 UI mod again but it seems 2 different mods can cause the issue which I think is unlikely. I suspect it is a game issue. It makes the game really unplayable at critical moments.

I had UI mods indeed active.
The mods I had were: "Penguin's icon mod", "Reveal position (legal)", "Specific target priorities".

I disabled them one by one and it appears that it might be due to the "Reval position (legal)" mod because I haven't experienced the issue since I disabled specifically this one.
However I need to try more to be sure (the problem is not 100% reproductible).

I will let you know...!

No one has an idea?
Basically relatively frequently I cannot click on any of these buttons which is really a problem ingame, especially in critical situations.

Hello,

Since a few week, it became difficult to select tech level / blueprint menu on my engineers or factories.
It is as if the mouse didn't detect the "click zone". I have to try again multiple times before being able to select the menu.

Is this a known bug? How to fix it?

Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,

I know that only specific part of the code of the game are accessible to FAF developer because the code is proprieritary owned.
One issue with that, as far as I understood, is that some important aspects of the game (like pathfinding) cannot be modified.

I was wondering if via some kind of crowdfunding it could be possible to buy the right to access and modify the source code of the game.
Maybe my question is very naive but I prefer to ask anyway.
Has it been considered?

Thanks.

Thanks for your help. Yes, for decals this is what I meant by "part of the building". It was the texture below them.

Actually an "alternative fix" for me would be to display a strategic icon for building under construction.

Basically the main annoying thing is that when I'm "far but not too far", I cannot see which building are going under construction as they disappear, and they have no strategic icon associated before they are built.

Having such an icon would not solve my problem ideally but could be an ok-ish work around. Is there a way to do so?

I have put to extreme (it was high before). It does improve a bit but it is still annoying.

I tried to change cam_SetLOD but it didn't change anything. A lower value for this parameter is supposed to be better right? Do I understand correctly that High means cam_SetLOD 1.0, while "extreme" puts it at 0.7 (is that what you meant?).

Thanks.

Thanks for your help.

I used your advice (and also got help from AI).
I managed to solve some of the issues but not all of them.

Basically, I managed to render the lifebar from a far away distance, using, e.g. ui_LifebarLOD 1000
I also managed to display part of the buildings from arbitrary distance activating ren_IgnoreDecalLOD

My remaining issue is in my last sentence: basically only the "floor" below the building now renders from an arbitrary distance, but not the building themselves.
See my below picture to understand what I mean

As you can see here, the "floor texture" below the building displays, but not the building themselves. This is still annoying because when I build a building there is no floor texture below, and for this reason I cannot see built in progress from a large distance.

Does anyone has an idea of how to solve this?

Hello everyone,

I recently switched to a 5k monitor (Samsung Odyssey G9), and I am a bit annoyed when I play because when I zoom out ingame, the health bar become invisible "too early" in the zoom out. Also, building are disappearing in display too early.
For instance, in the following picture, the commander is building a t1 mass extractor on the left spot (inside my red circle) but it is not visible. Similarly, no health bar is visible on units.

Is there a way to increase the range at which such thing display? It becomes quite difficult to play the game because of this now.

Thanks a lot.

It was the issue!

Indeed I used the uninstall software, I never manually delete the folder.

Thanks a lot!!

The log file from C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs\client.log is the following file:

client.log

The log file from C:\Program Files\FAF Client is the following file:

There are other log files in

C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs\iceAdapterLogs
C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs\ircLogs

but they are all empty.

Thanks a lot.

FAF is allowed by my firewall and antivirus, I just checked. For instance when I launch it my firewall tells me that the connection is allowed:

Do you have another guess on the possible source of the issue?

@brutus5000 Thanks for your answer.

I think I have the latest version: 2023.11.0

Hello everyone,

I cannot connect anymore to FAF.
I have a forever loading screen as shown below.

The server seems to work when I try to connect (according to discord status).

I reinstalled FAF client and it doesn't solve my issue.

How can I solve this?

Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,

I am currently facing an issue with FAF Client: when I connect and look for hosted games, no games at all shows at first. In practice I have to put some filters (like hide private games), put them off and then the game list can finally appear, but sometimes this trick doesn't work.

Before I do this trick, I can guess that even though no games are appearing there are actually hosted games as there is the text saying (for instance) "0 games shown out of 15".

How can I fix this issue?

Thanks a lot.

Here is the full log file:

Thanks!

As further info: when I want to relaunch the game without restarting my computer it tells me "unable to create direct 3D":
