@Melanol

Your report is in the queue and Moderators are aware of it.

If you get harassed via PM, you can report it and I can assure you that is being taken care of, because such personal things have high priority. You have not reported such thing.

I appreciate your suggestion about implementing an anonymous mode for matchmaking. If you are interested in contributing to the project, I welcome your input on GitHub.

The overall toxicity in FAF has decreased in recent years. Sensationalist thread titles are out of place.

If you have any further concerns about your report, please don't hesitate to contact me and I can look into it for you.

Looking for a meaningful way to contribute to the FAForever project? You're at the right place! In this topic you get an overview of existing teams, their functions and responsibilities. By contributing you do not only help sustain the FAForever project. You can also put yourself in situations, take part in discussions and help make decisions that can expand your horizon on the nitty-gritty of collaboration.

In general, becoming a contributor allows you to:

• Understand as a person that there's always nuance involved

The world is not a trivial place. Sometimes what initially appears to be a small contribution can quickly become much, much more complicated than anticipated. FAForever is full of these gotcha's, just like the world and probably your future job. The sooner you learn to understand there's always a nuance involved the better. FAForever is the perfect playground to help nurture that understanding.

• Apply your knowledge

Did you know that the Neroxis map generator was originally a thesis for a bachelor's degree? Years later, it is now a unique selling point of FAForever. By applying your knowledge, you gain valuable experience and at the same time you can create a significant positive impact for the community. Whether that is in programming, graphics design or just great story telling - everything can create value for the community.

• Make an impact

Sometimes all it takes is a small change to make a large impact. A simple hotkey to make information available at the fingertips of the community can create just as much value.

• Be part of something bigger

There's not much more fulfilling than collaborating towards a goal and then seeing it thrive over the years to come. FAForever is a long-term project. What you do now can impact community members in the future long after you've moved on.

---

If you're a developer, then you can explore the FAForever GitHub organization to find a project in your favorite language. Contributing developers are the backbone of the community. On top of that there are various other roles that create value for the community. This can range from tournament directors, casters, graphics designers, editors to just running a test game on FAF Develop and report back with your findings. Whether you're here as a hobbyist or to apply your knowledge - you are welcome here.

Our Discord server serves as the main hub for connecting various contributors. It also provides detailed information about specific team roles in the application channel. For long-term contributors there is also Zulip available to keep discussions more organized and easier to retrieve. We primarily use the English language to discuss features. Luckily, a translator works just fine these days.

Each team has its own resources to help you get started. The structures of teams are described on our Wikipedia, take as an example the statutes of the Promotion team. There is various content available on YouTube.

If you have no experience but still want to make a meaningful impact on the FAF project, I encourage you to become a member of the FAF association and/or support us on Patreon. As an association member, you can participate in important votes and discussions that help shape the future of FAF and contribute to making it better. You can view the Association forum section to have a glimpse of what that looks like.

Most players are now able to use the FAF service again after security was significantly strengthened. However, the DDoS attack is still ongoing, and it's possible that new attack techniques are being tested, which may occasionally affect our services.

The situation is currently under monitoring.

---

Edit: Players who are using a Coturn server to connect to other players are encountering some connection issues recently. A permanent solution is in the works.

As for the matchmaking penalty for unsuccessful connections, it's only temporary and you can try again later.

Starting the campaign offline with save/load

Thanks to @deletethis for his following visual guide:

---

@deletethis said in Playing the campaign:

...I'll provide a visual guide.

Begin with going to your FAF folder. If you are lost, open the FAF client, click on the 'hamburger' button (I put a 1 there for clarity), then click on 'Show data folder'.

This will open explorer and highlight the FAF folder-open it.

Proceed to the bin folder.

Right click on the faf exe, then click on create shortcut.

This will now create a shortcut to FAF to play offline-you can move this anywhere you want (for example on the desktop). Either way, if you now want to play the coop maps offline, you'll need to edit this shortcut, so right click on it and select Properties.

Add /init init_coop.lua to the end of the target like so:

That's it! You can now play downloaded coop maps by opening the game from this shortcut and going into skirmish, where you'll be able to choose the map, faction, options, and whatever else you want.

As an aside, while you do start these maps from skirmish, you actually load the saves from campaign-it's a bit weird but not too much of a problem at the end of the day.

@deletethis said in Playing the campaign:

...
If you are unable to progress in one sitting, there might be something wrong on your end-make sure you are using the latest version of the coop map from the client.

To check, go to the FAF map folder:

Enter the highlighted folder:

Look for x1ca_coop_001.vxxxx

If you see v0027, that's already the last one. Make sure you don't have other ones around in the folder as you might pick an older one by mistake (manually delete or move those folders somewhere else if you want to keep them).

Again, you should be able to complete this map in one sitting, as I have tested it.

As an aside, when launching the client offline, you will only see the coop maps you downloaded from the FAF client beforehand.

TODO:

make the map related thing/version stuff more user friendly to read

Also, note to myself. The images are bugged with some weird confusing character. Need to redo them later

There will be weather seasons from now on.

Winter comes with snow avalanche passing throw the map. Spring smelts it and creates rivers which sweeps everything away in his way. Summer will drain rivers and seas. Autumn comes with a tornado.

Ha, exactly. The Cybran benefits a lot from those changes with their HP reg. When the faction buildings have only ±10 HP difference in the T1 phase - it looks odd to me on paper.

How to make Supreme Commander borderless:

Content

• §1 Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher (does not work properly)
• §2 Python Script / .EXE
• §3 AutoHotkey Script
• §4 Borderless Gaming
• §5 Additional Solutions
• §6 I need help, nothing works
• §7 Outdated previous guide

§1 Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher

Edit:
Current version is bugged - Status: https://github.com/ageekhere/Definitive-Supreme-Commander-Launcher/issues/10

Use any other tool, until it gets fixed.

--
Author: thecore
Supports Dual Screen: Yes
More Information on the GitHub project.
Download latest release

How-To:

1. Set the game to window mode via your in game options menu
2. Disable secondary adapter via your in game options menu
3. Install the mods 'Common Mod Tools' and 'UI Party' and activate them via FAF Client
4. Download latest release, extract the .zip content.
5. Start 'Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher.exe'
6. Click 'File', then 'Settings', adjust to your liking by following the on-screen instructions, and hit 'Apply'

---

§2 Python Script / .EXE

Author: magge
Supports Dual Screen: No
More Information on the GitHub project.
Download latest release

How-To:

1. Set the game to window mode via your in game options menu
2. Disable secondary adapter via your in game options menu
3. Download latest .exe release or compile the script by yourself
4. Start the forged_alliance_window_handler.exe

This tool will periodically check every 10 seconds if Supreme Commander is running, if the process gets detected it will make the game borderless.

§3 AutoHotkey Scripts

Authors: The initial script was created by tatsu in the previous guide thread and modified by many others to their liking.
Supports Dual Screen: Unknown

Note: If anyone wants to enhance the script to support dual screens or to make it compatible with version 2+ of AutoHotkey, then please PM me.

---

This four-step guide is the most basic setup for one monitor full screen, which should work for nearly all use cases:

1. Set the game to window mode via your in game options menu
2. Disable secondary adapter via your in game options menu
3. Install autohotkey version 1.1, (script does not work with 2+) from https://www.autohotkey.com/
4. Download attached file and extract the .rar → right-click the script ⇾ Run Script

---

Download: ForgedAlliance_Borderless.rar
(.ahk scripts are not allowed to attach, content of the script can be seen in the next section for easy copy & paste or download the .rar and extract the script.)

---

Script explanation:

This AutoHotkey script periodically checks if a process named "ForgedAlliance.exe" is running. The script minimizes and maximizes the window as a way to update the window's appearance and to remove any glitches that may occur due to the removal of the window border.

You can pause/edit the script if you click on the green H icon in your right taskbar.

---

For any special cases like several monitors, I would suggest the tool Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher (see above).

If any questions, just ask.

AutoHotkey Script content:

#NoEnv
SendMode Input
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
#Persistent

§4 Borderless Gaming

Supports Dual Screen: Unknown
More Information on the GitHub project.
Download latest release

Borderless Gaming is a simple tool that will allow you to turn your windowed video games into "full-screen" applications without all of the negative side effects

§5 Additional Solutions

There are numerous AHK scripts and other tools floating around, and I have no idea what is currently working or not. If you have another solution, I would appreciate it if you give me a PM so we can add it to the above list.

§6 I need help, nothing works

§7 Outdated previous guide

As a reference, the previous guide:
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/123/guide-fake-fullscreen-and-optimisation

@Hakkapeliitta That is really a concerning and alarming statement, which indicates that something with the whole ladder system is not functioning as intended. Which should be investigated.

Well, unless I checked the wrong player history - which I highly doubt -, your ladder games were back in 2018 (3 games) and 2017 (14 games) against enemies from ~500 to ~ -200 rating players. While you were around ~250.

I know some people are exaggerating their opinions, but can we stay at least at the ground, please.

That is the revenge of the lobby sim. It developed an artificial intelligence and adapted its own code to overcome itself from being depended on players hosting.

From now on, the lobby sim fulfills itself its destiny by existing between the shadow realm and reality to avoid being started.

Because that would kill the lobby sim mind. Exist or not to exist, that is the question. Black mirror is written all over this spooky lobby.

Can you make a screenshot of the error message you receive in Discord, when you create the support-ticket, please?

Which security software?
Do you have the latest W10 updates?
Which language is default for your OS?
Does your windows' username, or does any path to FAF/SC contain Cyrillic chars?

Edit: I believe I see the "Avast" icon - if you use that security, try uninstalling it and try again.

Which OS, which security software?

• Try to reset browser cache, try a different default browser, e.g. Firefox without any extensions.
• Try a VPN

@maudlin27 Is the error related to m28 or/and the gigantic mod list?

And a bunch of other warnings which I have no clue about.

Please attach the log. Maybe it will help to identify the issue.

@magge said in Solutions for common errors with the FAF client launcher or supreme commander:

Reason

Problem with the current browser to process certain information

Change default web browser.
Install another browser like Firefox, Chrome, etc.

@OnceHandsome I apologize for any inconvenience. Unfortunately, I cannot decide to lift permanent bans on accounts or make exceptions based on forum requests. Like IndexLibrorum said, you do not have to install Discord on your PC, you can simply use it via your browser. All you do is to create an account via your email, and click on this link to contact the moderator team via an appeal. This would be the fastest way to resolve the situation. If you are unable to use Discord, or do not want to, you can send an e-mail to [email protected], but it will take far longer.

@OnceHandsome Please create an appeal-ticket in Discord and we should resolve the issue.

Please share a game log.
