I removed all mods and game now works fine! Thanks.

Lately, I've noticed a large number of low rank players with a small number of games. I ask them if they have a new computer and a new account and some of them agree. So their true rank is masked because they have a new account. Some of these players are really high rank players in disguise. I'm not complaining, just making an observation, so I'm ALWAYS leary of low rank/low game players.

This is a real problem with maps like 4v4 astro without fullshare. If one side has high rank and low rank players on same team for balance, and the low rank player is front, he can die easily, as happened to me several times. Then, the high rank player can build additional mexes and easily dominate the game. This is primarily due to the close proximity of the mexes on astro. I have won many astro games because of this, even though I died early.

I removed all mods and game now works fine! Thanks.

I have had this problem for three weeks now and cannot fix it. I currently have lobby version v2022.1.4 but it happened with several previous versions. Started when I did a lobby update three weeks ago. Lobby is fine but when game starts loading, game loading screen freezes with the following Unhandled exception.pdf. I have tried reloading lobby software, uninstalled and reinstalled Forged Alliance via Steam, restarted the game in Steam (game freezes there also.) What I would like to do is remove all FAF and Forged Alliance folders from my computer and start over (keeping my current FAF account). how can I do this to fix my problem???? I found the log file and it is attached here game_16296943.log.

I had the same problem and it turned out to be a failed cpu heating system. Replaced it and all is well (almost). Also found that the network part of my motherboard was failing so I had to put in a new network card. BTW, my computer is a desktop that is 4 1/2 years old but still works great (except for the parts that failed

@jip How do you disable all UI mods. I'm not a programmer and have no idea how to do this.

has not fixed problem but made it worse. There are 4 units updates in the mods folder for 2022 and I uploaded all of them. I now get this error:

Thanks. Figured it out and it works.
