@Jip What do you think is causing it? There might be a workaround without having to play an online game just to modify or create a build template. This was working prior to the recent updates.

@magge did you exit the game not restart and then start a new skirmish game?

I have just tested on another PC Windows 7 with another account with the latest patch and client update.
Same thing happens any new created templates don't reappear when the offline game is exited and new skirmish game is started.
If you restart the skirmish game and don't exit the created building template is there.
As this is tested on 2 different PCs Windows 7 and Windows 11 it appears to have happened in a recent patch or client update.

Hi @magge I replaced the prefs file with an earlier one that I backed up sometime ago. Went in offline mode created a new build template and named it. It shows in the build templates. I then exit the game and restart another skirmish game when I go back into the templates the one I created and renamed is no longer there. Running Windows 11 with the latest patch and client build. It only works if I'm playing an online game and creating them.

Does anyone else have this issue?
I think it's the recent patch changes or client change.

This only has happened recently I think the recent patches have broken something or the changes are deliberate. As it now stands you have to start an online game in solo to create and save them. This makes no sense should be able to do this in offline mode and start a skirmish game and save the prefs file.

I think the recent patches have broken this. I am unable to save newly created build templates when playing offline in skirmish or when starting a game directly from the FAF exe file.
I can only create a new build template but now have to play an online game in solo mode to create and saved them. Anyone experiencing this or can it be fixed?

@Slykar have you tried disabling High definition audio in the device manager such as NVidia and Realtek.

Thanks @MostLostNoob @magge have had several games now no crash logs after each game.

@gamersbemad I think I resolved this in my last game no game crash log.
I played the game in Window mode and also enabled IPv6. Give this a go and see how you go. Also disabled Acronis cyber protect.

@MostLostNoob The C drive installation did not work. Restored a backup to where the vanilla FAF game was in the G Drive.
Finally I think I have resolved the log crash issue. I made some minor changes. I played a game in Window mode and also enabled IPv6 in the settings. I also disabled Acronis cyber protect even though exceptions were added.
There was no game crash log. May help others to giving this a try if they are experiencing this.

@MostLostNoob Yes I used Revo uninstaller to completely remove the DVD version of the game. Then I installed steam version and directed the FAF client to the Steam directory where the game is installed. When I still experienced the crash log with the steam version I went back to a restored backup on my PC back to the DVD version. On one occasion I did not get the crash log happen with the DVD version of the game. That was when there was a patch update on the game. But after another game the crash log re appeared. Does it matter where the DVD version or the Steam version is installed?. As I installed them on my G: logical drive not in the C directory where the Windows 11 OS is installed. Same partition but in other logical drive G: Is there a way for the gamedata to be loaded again maybe give that a try? I have asked in the game lobby and other players are also experiencing the crash log when exiting a finished game. I might also try another tab to exit the game not the one in the standard menu where all the game info is. On my other PC that is Windows 7 64 bit that my son uses and plays FAF there is never any crash log created when exiting a finished game with the latest client and game patch.

@MostLostNoob I installed the Steam version of the game and still got the crash log after a game. I have since gone back to my DVD version as the Steam version did not resolve this. Thanks for your help.

Well I've given up trying to fix this. The Steam version doesn't fix the crash log when a game is finished.
I'm suspecting it's the FAF client that is causing this. Checked firewall and Windows 11 settings set for gaming. Everything works except when you select to exit the game. Thank you all for trying to help resolve this.

@MostLostNoob I never noticed the offline tab at the bottom of the client the above is very helpful. The Steam version works so I will give that a go with the FAF client and see if these crashes persist. Thank you for your help.

@Nex thanks I installed the steam version and found that I cannot run the exe file in C drive without using the FAF client. I think the Steam installed version of the game prevents this. I like to play sand box when a patch is released from FAF and save some games without having to use the client. Trying out and testing few things. I can't save any games through the client. I went back to my DVD box version and will put up with the crash log after a game. A client update or patch might fix this.

Quick question as I missed checking after reverting back to the DVD game is the Steam installed game patched the same as FAF v3781 if you run the game from the steam game directory where the game is installed? I guess I could play sandbox from there.

@MostLostNoob Yes the last official patch for the dvd version was beta v3603. There is patch v3684 haven't installed might try that. I don't think its the DVD version as I played with his version right up to December on Windows 7 without a hitch. I have since built new PC and now on Windows 11. Might be OS related or recent client updates during this time. The game is linked to Steam if it persists after some more updates might just install the Steam version of the game. Prefer not to rely on Steam to access the game. Thank you for your suggestions.

@gamersbemad I'm on Windows 11 recently and used the FAF DVD version which is a standalone to install. On a 38" monitor at 144hz. Wondering if we have there any common hardware or software? Windows 7 was fine without any issues or is it possibly the recent client updates that have caused this? When did you experience this happening?

@MostLostNoob It's the PC DVD Supreme Commander Forged Alliance from THQ. It does not require the original Supreme Commander game.

@MostLostNoob here are todays logs game crashing when exiting hope there is some useful information there thanks

client.log

@MostLostNoob I guess the new patch hasn't fixed this. Had another game and had to alt tab to close the crash log after finishing a game. I'll follow you recommendation and enable the FAF Debugger and upload the info here hopefully will find what is causing this issue.
