    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

    • RE: Change the handling of Reports - When is a report valid?

      @Nuggets said in Change the handling of Reports - When is a report valid?:

      Regarding the “just don’t do X and you won’t get banned” argument — I get it. But that doesn’t address whether X should actually be bannable in a specific context. That’s the discussion I hoped to have: not about misrepresenting moderators or sowing drama, but about refining where, when, and why enforcement kicks in.

      This desire to have the context come into play will almost certainly cause more issues that it fixes. Over the last two years almost the moderation team has been working to remove contextual cases from the rules. This was because this directly lead to the situations where moderators had to judge the game state. And that just leads to endless back and forth and interpretations. Then the reason they sought to clarify and remove context was because of complaints from the community around lack of clarity.

      It is better that the rules are very clear cut and free from interpretation so that everyone knows what to expect when they report and handle reports. I think the desire to add ambiguity back based on game state or how people were feeling at the time will just lead to a worse situation overall with regards to moderation.

      @Brutus5000 said in Open discussion on testing and rollout of the new ice adapter:

      So you need a new test-client version. That only works with other test clients. You can go back to the normal client (but I don't know if you can install them in parallel or need to uninstall and reinstall each time).

      People should be able to have two versions of the client installed at the same time.

      The only part that is really shared that might get wonky is the client prefs between them.

    • RE: Cannot Launch Game - Windows D:\ Drive How to fix?

      Also start a normal game once. There is a bug I think if you try to start a replay first. Since it is looking for the non replay bin folder

    • RE: Map Gen reclaim numbers

      Reclaim density is relative to the prop generator used. If the prop generator is left as random then the reclaim density is less predictive.

    • RE: I can't log in

      The only reason the official client wouldn't start is if you are running a version of windows 10 before windows 10 build version 1803. There is an incompatibility with that old version of windows 10.

      You can update your windows 10 or manually perform the fix detailed here. https://forum.faforever.com/topic/6240/new-client-2023-6-0/13?_=1724237238326

    • RE: Pics for OnceHandsome

      I am suspecting this map uses custom textures right? The red and black is the image used when the intended texture is missing. So that means that either the texture is missing from the zip file that is on the vault, or this particular user had an error when unzipping the map folder and the texture got corrupted on their system.

    • RE: game won't start

      Yeah some third party software is shutting down the game because from those logs the client launched everything just fine.

    • RE: Please fix the MAP generator

      Correct when the use custom style is ticked the end user is assuming all responsibility for the map generation and any "smart" behavior is turned off.

      So anything not explicitly specified is chosen at random from all the options.
