Disabling IPv6 fixed it.

last part of log... text wall removed by magge

sorry, missed this response. file no longer there. will upload next time.

would be good if when the crash screen comes up you could press a button to post the log file to the dev team

So, probably 2-3 times now in the past week or so the FAF client has just completely crashed and shut down.

when I look at the log files it seems to be some network error / connection dropped.

Hopefully the netcode is somewhat isolated to a few key areas of the app, and so I was thinking it'd probably be useful if the dev team could wrap this with some exception handling code to catch the error and perhaps post it to the dev team, so that we can see what the crash is.

It'd be great if this then could be a step towards auto-reconnect.

I think right now we need some intel on why all the flakiness?

• Is it peoples' home network equipment that is the root cause?
• Is the FAF client generally flaky?

Happy to be wrong. Do we know what the main cause(s) of flakiness is?

@heavenly I had the same issue. I set the Coturn to Germany 1 in Settings > FAF > Preferred Coturns for ICE and could connect better. I also had Force Relay Connection OFF.

v.10 of the FAF client seems like a step back. Had many game crashes + FAF client crashes. Gonna have to wait to see if v.11 any better. v.10 unplayable for me.

Also, aside from the game crashing (above), the FAF client crashed. Not sure if that happened first and that someone causes the game to crash??? Anyway. this appears to be the log for the FAF client crashing. Crashes seem quite bad in v0.10.

How does one get involved in improving FAF. I'm a developer, did 3000 years of Java back in the way and happy to contribute another pair of eyes on this.

Is there a simpler answer than a 57-page word doc?

Seems like you're saying that even though no information is collected to assess player performance, players are given different mu adjustments.
