My Steam Deck is not intended to be used for RTS @Sheikah .

It is a little in flux right now but a temporary place that might be outdated can be seen here. https://github.com/FAForever/Neroxis-Map-Generator/wiki/Command-Line-Args

You can also run the --help option from the command line with the current generator you have

Ah well additionally saves are not a true supported feature with FAF since we focus so much on the multiplayer experience so there is no guarantee that they always work with changes we have made.

The mission maps and the the mission game files have been updated so old saves are no longer compatible with the current versio.

We have no control over the sale of the game and where it is sold.

However there is nothing that stops the client from working for people who own the game in any region.

This should now be fixed

You cannot unlink steam but you can use steam to reset the password on the faf website

Unfortunately was unable to do this yesterday so will be doing the update today.

I would not run as admin. Rather the permissions on C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe have gotten messed up so that you need admin to run it.

Fix those permissions so you do not need admin to run it.

The next server update has been scheduled for the 2022-08-04 somewhere between 23.00-01.00 UTC/GMT.

It will be a minor patch, so the downtime itself shouldn't be long.

What is planned:

• Update Server to version v1.12.4
  Fixes a rating bug where games can be rated multiple times and relies on the user-service for game ownership checks

There was an option introduced click on the gear in the top right of the chat

A username starting witha letter wasn't allowed it should be fixed on the website now

Without knowing the actual name or more about the error I can't even speculate. There isn't much to go off of in they OP especially since the screenshot is unrelated.

What do you mean by LAN support? It is easy to have private games with password protection that only your friends can see. The entire multiplayer FAF experience is built around using the FAF servers which aren't accessible over LAN.

LAN would be something that is supported by the game code itself which the networking we do not have great access to and is a pain to work with.

All that being said it still should be trivial for FAF players to host private local games with their friends as is.

The 2022.7.0 client has been released

This is an older legacy check that exists in the server that wasn't removed when we switched login methods and allowed linking to gog. So requires a server update to remove.

As some of you may have noticed there has been new missions and development of the SCFA and FAF Custom Campaigns.

FAF has been excited to see these continuing developments in Coop to support the PvE community at FAF. To help faciliate further development the board has approved the formation of the Campaign team who will be responsible for the developement of the Coop featured mod as well as the campaign maps.

The initial point of contact for the campaign team is @Rezy-Noob who helped coordinate the efforts to form this team. Feel free to reach out to him to see how you can get involved.

We look forward to future developments!

@Veoler what client version are you using?
