That actually solved my problem!!!!! Thanks much...who would have guessed that NVIDIA would do such a dastardly thing to us poor unsuspecting FAF players. I can finally do something I have been trying to do for years!

I enabled cheats and had the same results! When I use Alt+F2 on the DualGap map, I get the message "Supported Game is required to use this feature." So, your suggestion does NOT work. Can ANYONE tell me how to open the menu for practicing????
Thanks!! I didn't even know that option was there.
For several years I have been trying to practice developing strategies and build orders for various maps but I always run into problems when trying to use cheats to create other faction units (playing as one faction and wanting to spawn Cybran engineers so I can build hives). Whenever I press ALT+F2 to open the cheat menu I get a message that tells me that I can't use cheats on this map (mainly the latest DualGap map). Are their only certain maps that allow cheats or am I doing it wrong.
I think I'm the oldest person playing FAF. I am 82 and still enjoy playing video games. I have been playing FAF since 2013 and played Forged Alliance since it was published in 2007. I started in college playing board games that are battle simulations back in the early 1960s. We used to talk about the possibility of playing games online when the first personal computers came out. Got my first PC in 1995 and immediately stated playing some the early DOS games like DOOM, Dark Forces, Quake, etc. I even tried a few strategy games and was hooked on the Civilization series for years, including playing CivNet with friends on closed networks after work. When I tried Supreme Commander I was totally hooked on it and followed with Forged Alliance. That's when I started playing online strategy games with FA my favorite after the multiplayer version of Civilization. When FAF came out and I discovered it in 2013, I was overjoyed and have been playing it ever since.
BTW I'm a PhD physicist and I retired at the age of 76 after 50 years working in the field.
I checked the in-game settings also, and all settings are set to max volume. I even checked the Windows mixer and all are set to max volume. Finally, I tried to play one of the multiplayer campaign scenarios and very low sound there also...couldn't even hear the cut scene sound.
All sound works fine EXCEPT in game or game lobby after setting up a game in the lobby
checked windows master sound and it is at 100%.
Also, sound becomes very low as soon as I post the game in the game lobby, before the game starts.
I do not have surround sound enabled!! In addition, there is NO setting called Stereo in my headphone settings. I have it set to 2 Channel, 16 bit, 44,100 Hz (CD quality).
As a final note, sound is perfect if I run a replay!! It happens ONLY in a live game.
I have an Arctis Nova Pro headset and have a weird problem. I reset the headsets to surround sound (Not 5.1 OR 7.1) after game crashes due to being set on 7.1 sound. After restarting my computer, the sound works fine in Windows 10 and in the FAF game lobby, with normal volume. But when I go into a game, the sound volume is so low I can hardly hear it with my headset sound set to maximum. I went into options while in a game and my sound is set to maximum. Any suggestions of how to fix this.
In many games lately, one or more of the players experience a connection issue and is forced to leave the game and other players leave, so the host (or someone else) restarts the game. How long from the start of the game will a restart impact players rank? I Usually play on dualgapadaptive, 6 v 6.
Switching back to stereo on my headphone sound system fixed the problem. I had headphones on 7.1 surround sound.
Three games in a row crashed after I completed a yolo at around minute 30. As I launch a nuke, the game crashes with an error message:
*FORMATION DEBUG: Unit xss0304 does not match any Naval categories.
I have attached the game file below
I was playing on map dualgap_adaptive.v0014
Just finished a ranked game and we lost and my rank went down? Don't know why none of the other games impacted my rank?
