Is there a way to "denoise" the Game.prefs from all the custom settings from this mod?
Posts made by magge
Thanks for the logs - The only stuff I can spot is the following:
But it happens quite a few minutes before the crash, so I am unsure if the UI mod "ranges" is related or just random noise.
Unfortunately, I do not see any other error in the log, that could be responsible for the crash - Maybe someone else sees something.
Can you disable all UI mods as well and try to reproduce the crash again?
Well, if you are certain, everything is correct. You can try to change your default browser; Maybe it will narrow down the issue.
I would suggest all files related to the FAF Client. Begin with the whole folder where you installed it.
He has already contacted the Moderator Team.
@karbonforms said in FAF Client: Nothing works.:
The requested operation requires elevation
Looks like a user permission error. Or security software is interfering.
Check the ownership of the files and make sure you can access them.
If you can not enable debugger, that seems related to your security setting or/and user account permission.
Unfortunately, I can not see any crash related error in your log @ysomanyratstho - Please fix the debugger-thing and reproduce the crash.
But I see quite a lot info: Minimized true in the log which indicates tabbing out AFAIK. In case you alt+tab and are using exclusive full-screen instead window-mode, then it can crash, the game-engine just hates that. I would suggest using Borderless Mode if that should be the case.
The only error I can spot is:
debug: Loading module: /units/uel0106/uel0106_script.lua
warning: Error running OnRelease script in <deleted object>: ...mdata\faforever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\maui\button.lua(119): Game object has been destroyed
stack traceback:
[C]: in function `Play'
...mdata\faforever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\maui\button.lua(119): in function <...mdata\faforever\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\maui\button.lua:112>
But I doubt it is related to the crash, because the game still continues for several minutes.
Can you enable the debugger, reproduce the crash and post new logs?
Thank you very much for providing an image.
Well, I successfully recreated the issue, by typing "test" into the location field - and for every char it went instantly crazy with the folder structure. I am surprised, I have never heard about that side effect in the last years.
Possible solution without seeing the code: IMO, as a quick-fix, do not allow a user to type anything in both fields (But allow copy via CTRL+C), until it gets fixed - manually choosing only.
I will raise an issue later/tomorrow on GitHub about that.

@wolfred said in This looks a little off - I whant to say something that too many people have already said:
Is there a way we can contribute to the game's development or improve the lobby system?
I am always looking forward to seeing people wanting to contribute to the FAF project to make it better for everyone.
If you are asking specifically about the lobby-system you can head over to the lobby FAF client GitHub repository, and you can start bringing in your ideas.

occasional emptiness in the matchmaker queue
Usually, the prime time for match making starts around 15:00 UTC for a few hours - The queue for 3on3 is the most liked one, since it was introduced a few months ago.
Custom lobbies are most of the time populated with all kind of different maps to play. (NGL, gap is pretty popular)
I share your opinion about the match making GUI, that it probably would not hurt to refactor that part to make it even easier accessible. It is something I hear from time to time every few months.
This link shows all the open issues related to the FAF Client for the word "match". You can share your possible solution or thoughts on a raised issue/feature to start working on it or, when you are familiar with Java, even better, push a PR.
@argor said in Bug when changing maps&mod folder:
I typed the string, I did not press 'choose'
Can you clarify this step, please? Did type the path manually in the explorer - Maybe even pressed enter?
Name-calling and pointing fingers in the forum to possible offenders just create unnecessary drama and a toxic environment. I know it is very frustrating to be team killed, and when a game gets ruined by it.
Your report has been received, additional steps are not necessary from your side, and the report will be taken care of.
You are right, if I do not exit the whole game, after the first match and restart another match from the main menu, the template from the first game does not show up for the second match. Unfortunately, I have no idea why this strange behavior occurs.
Try to change your default browser to something else, without any extensions, and try again. And check your security/firewall.
I am unable to reproduce the issue.
I was playing in offline mode, did a skirmish match, created a random template, and it worked fine. Even after restarting everything while offline, it still worked.
It sounds like a strange bug in your environment. First, I would suggest making a backup of your current .prefs file. Second, then remove the .prefs to recreate it again by starting the game via Gog/Steam once to create a new profile. Maybe it will fix it, when you try the templates again after that.

Author: thecore
Supports Dual Screen: Yes
More Information on the GitHub project.
Download latest release
How-To:
- Set the game to window mode via your in game options menu
- Disable secondary adapter via your in game options menu
- Install the mods 'Common Mod Tools' and 'UI Party' and activate them via FAF Client
- Download latest release, extract the .zip content.
- Start 'Definitive Supreme Commander Launcher.exe'
- 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:
- Set the game to window mode via your in game options menu
- Disable secondary adapter via your in game options menu
- Download latest .exe release or compile the script by yourself
- 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:
- Set the game to window mode via your in game options menu
- Disable secondary adapter via your in game options menu
- Install autohotkey version 1.1, (script does not work with 2+) from https://www.autohotkey.com/
- 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
procName := "ForgedAlliance.exe"
SetTimer, CheckProc, 2000

WinGet Style, Style, % "ahk_exe " procName
If (Style & 0xC40000)
{
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, % "ahk_exe " procName
WinMinimize , % "ahk_exe " procName
WinMaximize, % "ahk_exe " procName

§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.

§7 Outdated previous guide
As a reference, the previous guide:
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/123/guide-fake-fullscreen-and-optimisation
Most likely, your security software is blocking access to the files, or your Windows user account has no permission to access the files.
What does the windows event log say?
What graphic card do you have?
Do other games have the same issue?
Try to reinstall graphic card drivers just to narrow down the issue, also have the latest Windows update.
You could test if a VPN from another country would solve the issue.
