Please enable the debugger in the FAF Client settings, reproduce the issue and attach the related game.log.

Would be better to have the whole error message. Can you attach it as .txt, please?

Blind guess: Your windows username contains non-ASCII characters.

Please enable the debugger in the FAF client options and reproduce the issue, and post a new game log.

Please share a game log.

Have you done this step?

Loading the map where? In FAF client, map editor, in game?

Provide a screenshot, please.

How to see the map:

What exactly is the issue, and at which step do you encounter it?

It would be helpful if you could provide the name of the map.

Both of your maps in the vault:

Battle for the Ridges
Wild Ridges

are available and can be downloaded.

Enable debugger in the FAF client, reproduce the issue and post the new log, please.

AFAIK, no one is sure what caused it suddenly, and there is no fix expected anytime soon.

You can navigate to the prefs file via FAF client top left option menu. If you do not have that, then just reinstall FAF like described above.

To be on the safe side, you can back up your 'game.prefs' file. It contains the mods, keys, and basically everything about any setting. Then uninstall it, and install it from the link above.

Have you tried to manually uninstall it, then install it via the latest release from the website? https://faforever.com/play#

@The_Aussie_Greek At which step do you face trouble?

I am not sure, if it is related to DDoS, the recent patch, which may cause connection issues for a small amount of users, or your network environment.

What security software are you using?

Can you check this thread and when you are done going through all points, posting some WinMTR result, please? Also with Bandwidth and Load Test.

Can you share a replay and ice log, please.

Most likely related to https://forum.faforever.com/topic/8824/update-19-02-in-game-connection-issues - Just try again until it works.

Unfortunately, the current testing phase comes at a bad time due to occasional DDoS attacks. I guess we have to wait until the situation improves, to have a better testing environment. Still, thanks for trying, tho!

Additional to what maudlin said: I have seen players use the "interrupt pathfinding" for engineers, so they start sooner to assist/built when they are in the build-range, instead confusingly moving as close as possible to the place where they want to do things.
