The friend with the problem has reinstalled his graphics drivers and FAF, and that has not solved his problems. I guess we'll try running FAF as admin next. I've also asked him to download the borderless gaming app on steam, since I know for me that at least solved crashing on alt-tabbing by accident...

Users without problems:

All users running latest graphics drivers

3 of us total. Only 1 of us has the issue, and he says it's both single and multiplayer.
The 2 of us who don't have the issue are fine when it's only us in the game.
The problem player has a 2080Ti. The other 2 of us have a 4070Super and a 2060.

@Jip Only the mods that are bundled with the coop missions (usually none) because we want to get on the leaderboards.

I booted a solo game up to get a recording for you but it doesn't freeze/stutter/lag for me. Which means either its >1p situations, or my friend's computer(s) that are the problem. I will get them to test individually.

@magge Hi Magge,

We're still having these problems and it means that playing Coop in missions that have a lot of these intro cutscenes and frequent reminders about objectives is nearly unplayable. We've tried "%s" /nomovie in the command line for all clients but it doesn't stop these in-mission "cutscenes".

Any progress or other reports about the cause? Is there anything we can do to help diagnose the bug?

@Askaholic Nevermind it's working now. Must have just taken a while to add us to the leaderboard. Thanks man.

@Askaholic er... well yes, but now there's a new bug hahaha

@magge See the reply above, and may be linked to https://forum.faforever.com/topic/8601/game-freezing-for-a-few-seconds-whenever-a-video-is-played/8

Hi, I just encountered the same problem. We did a 4p coop mission and the game freezes/lag spikes during and then after any dialog. The only thing different is I just upgraded to a new computer. Old one was i7 with a 1080Ti, Win10 and the new one is AMD9800X3D with a 4070Super, Win11.
Debug was on. #24159116 for the replay. game_24159116.log

This was from the second game which I think is that FFA error you mentioned.

Great thanks. We'll make sure we turn off M28 in future games.

#23884698 - Dawn we also did tonight and have not shown up. Although I appreciate there is probably some delay.
It was on Hard and no red mod alerts visible either.

I was not the host so I still need to confirm with them that it was on Hard. We might try another one soon and I'll make sure to get both game ID for that and make sure it's on Hard.

Edit: he had it on default settings which we assume was Hard but he also might have had the M28 AI mod enabled? We'll try another game and I'll monitor the leaderboards and post here if it doesn't work.

I found this on the old forums.

Some friends and I just did one of the missions with 3 players (Black Day) and the co-op leaderboards don't seem to show our time. Nor are there 3 or 4 players that show up on ANY leaderboards, so I assume this is still not working? I know this sort of this isn't high priority but 4 years and it still hasn't been fixed is certainly frustrating. We'd like to see how we stack up against others.

LMFAO I got to this post by following OP's profile from a random link when I was googling something random. What a notorious troll.
