Potentially the new Rust Client

welcome to the world of microsoft's great products and even greater audio drivers for win 11. i have a dedicated sound device, and i had to manually deactivate creative protocols für my device in the winodws registry for it to eventually work once i made the step "up" to win11, as the drivers constantly set back my sound settings back to 5.1 once i rebooted the pc. i don't even have 5.1 speakers. since fa automatically detects your sound devices/settings, and doesn't let you manually set it, it fucked up my whole sound and kept corrupting the game.prefs file.

Apparently, we forgot to conclude this one earlier. Apologies!

Congratulations to our winners!

1st place u1100 bracket: Itness
1st place u1700 bracket: Tarnow14
1st place 1700+ bracket: Terarii

Thanks for everyone that signed up for the tournament ; those that joined to play today and watched the stream.

It was the first time this event had been held. We will now discuss within the TD team if we are going to continue this event series in '27. If we did, we might go with a smaller, and potentially more focused map pool. If you want to leave us some feedback, feel free!

Because of the current situation, we're unfortunately unable to pay out our Russian winners Tarnow14 and Terarii. Instead, the $175 will be carried over to the '27 tournament budget.

Congratulations to our winners!

1st place: "Average Stealth Enjoyers" (TheCommissar, dBerserkerb, Jalayas)

Thanks for everyone that signed up for the tournament ; those that joined to play today and watched the stream.

Next Super-Noob event will be held on December 12th, and it's going to rotate back to 2v2. Twist: The upcoming SNO#10 will be held six hours later than usual, we're going to kick off things at 8 PM UTC!

Push.

Two teams have signed up already!

Yeah, an overhauled AND CURATED mod section would be great.

Did I just read that we could potentially get rid of p2p?

There's a hotkey you can bind to cycle through and build them.

Welcome to FAF!

You have to activate the build templates in the settings, if you haven't done it yet.

If you want some more guidance, feel free to join the FAF Dojo.

Sorry, I've been busy elsewhere. Round two and three have been dropped, the final pool will be dropped this Saturday!

Current state of signups:

u1100: 3/16
u1700: 11/16
1700+: 2/16

Thanks for the quick response, gods.

I was 99% expecting this to be the outcome. It was worth asking anyways

dear mod gods,

is it somehow possible to take over an account name of folks who didn't sign up in ages?

this guy has played 7 games total, last played in 2020 and three games total since 2017.

thanks in advance for your response.

Thanks. It's been a bit sad that only five teams showed up in the end. There's been roughly 20 people who had signed up at one point or another. It should've been a full grid!

I mean, if you don't want to disclose your nationality, just use a VPN. FAF has a 500ms delay anyways.

Have you tried using different ICE servers? You can set them in the options.

hf everyone!

@Nuggets Yeah, it ended up being called AI vs. AI and was hosted by Maudlin.

First map pool wave has dropped on Saturday, in case someone has missed it. Next round is gonna be dropped next Saturday!

message me on discord (_wlsn) and i'll send you one that works.

Hey @HerbertFreir,

I've randomly come across this post.

It's a common thing in pretty much every online game that people will flame each other. All it is is a coping mechanism so they must not admit they made a mistake themselves. It's really just the easy way out for being anonymous on the internet. There is no way of saying this is common or uncommon across a community as a whole as it's mostly invididual. Estimating how often it will happen to you is nearly impossible. Sometimes you will be flamed three times a day, sometimes it won't happen for two years straight. But there is a tendency: The bigger and the younger (on average) the community the more likely it is that people will flame, as they don't expect to bump into the other one ever again. FAF is a small, "well aged" community, and therefore less likely to be that way, as you for sure will bump into someone again.

What usually helps is narrowing down the amount of anonymity to a minimum by playing with people you know through joining smaller clans / communities.

I, for instance, happen to run a beginners group within the FAF Dojo. It's me and my co-trainer running training sessions with up to a dozen trainees (0-1300 rated) three times a week, in the EU evening hours. Our youngest trainee is ~20 years old, our oldest is ~60 years old. We have gay / trans people, furries... We welcome everyone and respect each other. It's about having fun and learning together.

If the above is appealing to you and you could make (some of) the training hours, feel free to join our Discord server and reach out to me. If you can not make my specific training hours, please still feel free to join, meet people you could play with, and maybe find another trainer that matches your time zone.
