the error is not too bad since it sometimes just disappears... i have several problems and errors but most of them are not bad and dont appear often.
like now, the background in my lobby is totally yellow with a bit green. i have no idea why, but its not gamebreaking

Looks like I helped and I didn't. But to help Ze_PilOt, you need to determine if it really is a connection issue. Maybe run a ping in the background to check the state and see if there is high latency or drops when the errors happen.

Since no one else has jumped in here I'm guessing the problem lies on our side, and the only thing the developer can do is make more "friendly" error messages.

i dont care about them since none of them creates any problems.
just because you asked what error messages under had and since he has kind of the same situation...
i already looked through some wiki stuff.

i get connection problem messages really often.
like if i join a big lobby (4+ players) often it takes years until anything in the lobby moves and after a short tike i get connection to the host timed out. but when i just recon the everything works fine. i obviously get a con problem when this happens.
and often when im just afk with the lobby open the chat and everything crashes and i get the message i might be able to still chat. if i restart fa everything works again. edit:
if i have to recon to a lobby i get "you had problems connecting to a few players" and i think something like "tcp connection closed"

I'll make note of it next time.

Not sure if this helps - but whenever I get the blackscreen or then endless connecting I also get the proxy message. I just never report becasue I assume it hangs on some connection problem.

Looking more closely at the logs, it's looks like the game try to start without going through the lobby.

Any idea what cause that ?

What mods are you using ?

Or do you use a map that has special script ?

You have indeed tons of errors in your logs, but I'm 100% sure it's not due to FAF itself.

hm ill have to ask someone later how to do that. i am not familiar with ports and that stuff at all.
btw now theres a different problem again.
the game just has a blackscreen. task mngr says its fine and for some reason the icon on the task bar is replaced by another one, that has a really low resolution and stronger yellow color.

Hi,

I had the same issue. But when I changed the port forward triggering settings on my router and on faf, it worked again.
