Would there be a range indicator for this so that I can know the reclaim area? For instance where I would like to set the attack move point to reclaim only "rock a" and "rock b" but not "rock c" and where I know I can set the attack move point so that I can reclaim all "rock a" and "rock b" and "rock c"?

Yup I think that there was a unit near the Tech 2 Land Factory HQ but we cannot be overseeing those kinds of things in the actual game itself because you will not know when it will jam up. I did not stop it and to try a new queue because I found that I could tech up instead and bypass anymore stalling.

That is great. Thanks Jip!

I have just played a 12 minute ranked game with PickupMaster3000 (#21460052) on Badlands and I have found 4 errors which happened during this short game:

1. Minute 2.46: My ACU "bumped" into 2 engineers and lost all the mex build orders.
2. Minute 3.21: My ACU "bumped" into 2 engineers and lost all the mex build orders yet again (2nd bite at the cherry and the same thing happened too?).
3. Minute 3.42: My ACU had the build order for a mex "automatically cancelled" for some reason and I had to use an engineer to replace that order.
4. Minute 7.24: One of my Tech 1 Land Factories stalled for no reason (beside the Tech 2 Land Factory HQ) and only build 1 more Mantis 20 seconds later before stalling yet again and therefore I decided to go Tech 2 Factory.

I would think that I would have lost this game if these were not spotted/rectified. Has this occurred in other games too?

I have found that my Tech 2 Land Factory HQ has stalled in my last game with you silentNoob (game #21454134). It happened around the 10th minute mark I think. I decided to just jump straight to Tech 3 when I seen that but then it should not have even stalled in the first place and it took some time for me to spot that it has happened. It could have been costly if I had not seen it and would there be a reason for it happening?

There are 2 instances where this has happened and these are in game #21381468 vs Unknow (happened to me around the 15th minute mark where I try to Overcharge 5 Pillars) and game #21435222 vs Warning_PotatoPC (happened to my opponent around the 17th minute mark where he was trying to Overcharge my Rhinos I think).

I have found that Overcharge cannot be used in certain games although the player has already met the energy storage requirement for it. The player is able to get the Overcharge cursor upon pressing "O" but then Overcharge still fails to deliver and only normal shots can be registered. This would have caused players to lose games in certain scenarios because of this.

Has anyone experienced this and would there be any fix for this?

I find that the waiting time for a 1v1 ranked game has increased over the course of time.
In the past, I would only wait for a few minutes, and I would have gotten a game running already.

However, as of current times, this timing has extended to the point where I have waited until I have gotten tired. By the time I would get a game, I would have been too tired to play already, and also play lesser games per day as a result.
It is definitely harder to get more 1v1s right now. This is especially when there are new 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 queues right now which takes players away too. I do not know how long some of you who do search 1v1s are waiting, but it takes about 15 minutes to 1 hour to get a game sometimes.

I would like to check if it is possible to get back what Python Client used to offer (only just for the 1v1 Ranked Matchmaker Queue right now)? "A player of your level is searching for a game, click on a faction to join them" (I think)? This would make it much easier for 1v1 players to know that they could be matched and it can save a lot of people's time.

I would think that this would be a way to "revive" back 1v1 ranked too?

I would like to suggest if attack submarines could get a buff to their attack for the upcoming balance patch after chatting with SpikeyNoob about this after our 1v1 game and he has suggested that I post it (also we recommend that more players should actually play more 1v1s as it is really draining to wait for games):

Based on the statistics of the submarine, it would do a damage of 75 now, and it has a mass cost of 360 per submarine. This is quite a costly investment which could have been used better elsewhere in the early game. The submarine also dies relatively easy once tech 2 enemy sea/air is reached.

I also know that there is a hp buff coming for the attack submarine in the upcoming balance patch. I am not sure if buffing the damage from 75 (to maybe about 100) would be good for the attack submarine also? Maybe this idea would be worth considering to make the attack submarine a better investment to:

1. countering mass early cheaper frigates which may target enemy engineer build power at naval factories
2. tide against some early enemy tech 2 navy
3. deny enemy commanders moving into water much earlier and changing the outcome of certain games (after all you are paying a lot of mass for the attack submarine)
4. (anything much better which you can think of)

I am not sure if this is worth considering but it is just my suggestion for the attack submarine.

@vivalarus said in FAF Client not being able to run:

Here's a solution for you - download version 5.0 and reinstall. Here is the link https://github.com/FAForever/downlords-faf-client/releases/tag/v2023.5.0

I have already rolled back the version after seeing that this works for now.

Thanks!

@sheikah said in FAF Client not being able to run:

See https://forum.faforever.com/topic/6240/new-client-2023-6-0

"For those who are running on windows 7 changing the .vmoptions file in your client installation and changing the line -XX:+UseZGC to -XX:+UseG1GC should allow the client to run"

Would there be a way to simplify this?

I do not see anything with client.log

Is there any way to get this?

I have installed the latest FAF update and now I find that I am not being able to run the FAF client. I have double clicked on the program on the desktop as usual but nothing works. It does not even register as a process in task manager?

Would there be any way to get this running again?

I have tried to post the game log but it is too lengthy.
I will try to find you when you are online.

I have changed internet service provider and it went well for about 15 games.
The problem has then occured today again.
I will post the game log in the next few comments.

Could I know how I could go about doing that?

I have tried to change internet service provider and I shall see if that helps.

This issue has occurred again yesterday for me and I have noticed that I have disconnected from the multiplayer chat from the matchmaking tab. Could this be the reason why I have also disconnected from the game without any chance of reconnecting back? The strange part is that everything else is working fine but I am not able to search for another game (and I have to restart the FAF client to search again - which will result in an instant loss for nothing).

My internet connection is fine but I guess that it is only an issue when I connect to certain players and regions? My games are all right about 90% of the time but when that happens then I guess that it is just bad luck?
