Hi guys,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I had tried 'windowed' and 3 numbers separated by commas before, but this was my last attempt (I saw the resolutions for primary_adapter higher up and it had two similar lines for each resolution).

I really appreciate that strategic icon scale tip and will give it a go. Thank you.

I found the issue. For some reason on the compatability tab of the sc fa properties it was set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7 and run in 640x480 screen resolution was checked.
I have no idea why, I have never opened the properties for the game before. This is now resolved.

@Nex,

I've managed to sort it, thank you for your help.

I think it was the forged alliance exe file within the "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin" location, I went into properties there and allowed all permissions for all users (I think it was the user with my email as opposed to my laptop login user).
I tried allowing all permissions for all users on the FAForever folder before this but it didn't seem to work.
I had to clear the gamedata folder again too.

@Nex, my mistake. I didn't see the folder because it was hidden so presumed you were reciting the file path from memory. Whoops.

Either way, I deleted the whole FAForever folder, tried again (it downloaded the relevant files again) but it didn't work. I've just removed and reinstalled FAF after deleting that folder again but it still isn't working.

When trying to create that practise custom game I get ""game could not be created" followed by:

Hi @Nex ,
I've been fiddling, I can start a game and play it (only a custom game against AI as a test) if I start as Admin, but yes trying to start as a normal user doesn't work. I deleted the FAF game files (the whole folder - C:\Program Files\FAF Client) then reinstalled from my internet downloads but the issue persists. Any advice?

Hi, I seem to be having a similar issue I think.

I had also tried to run the game in admin mode shortly before this happened, so perhaps that is the reason?

Here's my error:

I don't believe it's antivirus or firewall related.

I'm on windows 10, have gone into virus and threat protection settings, and added the following folders to the exclusions:
Supreme commander game (steam apps, common, supreme commander)
FAF client (program files, FAF Client)
and even my local save files (user, app data, local, gas powered games, scfa)

I have also gone into firewall and network protection settings and allowed FAF through on both private and public settings.

I've deleted and reinstalled both SC:FA and FAF. Why the heck is this happening!?

Ah yes I did. I've been fiddling to try and get better matchmaking etc. I'll try that once its reinstalled. Thanks

Hi,

I've had no end of issues with FAF which frustrates me because I love the game. Usually I will probably have connection issues with other players in 6v6 games. I've used an ethernet cable and I think that helps, but it seems like in most games someone will have a connection issue with someone else. It feels like having a lag free game is quite rare?

Anyway, as of tonight I've had a new error:

Hi guys,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I had tried 'windowed' and 3 numbers separated by commas before, but this was my last attempt (I saw the resolutions for primary_adapter higher up and it had two similar lines for each resolution).

I really appreciate that strategic icon scale tip and will give it a go. Thank you.

I found the issue. For some reason on the compatability tab of the sc fa properties it was set to run in compatibility mode for windows 7 and run in 640x480 screen resolution was checked.
I have no idea why, I have never opened the properties for the game before. This is now resolved.

I have a modern gaming laptop with a 4070 mobile graphics card and 2560x1600 resolution. I had been running SC FA and playing on FAF. Occasionally I would get an unable to load 3d assets (or words to that effect) error when trying to join a game.
I changed the games resolution to windowed (2560x1600) but the unit icons were miniscule, so I reverted. I then started playing around with resolution to see what would be best.
I am now getting the "inadequate monitor resolution (minimum is 1024x768)" error shown.
I have been on the forums, found the game.prefs file and manually changed that and save all-ed the file after changing it. The game still drastically changes my resolution on start up and displays the inadequate monitor resolution message.

Please help.
