had this issue a few times - try to delete the game.prefs file - this always solved it for me
location:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (win7)

you will have to run the game and reset your key bindings if you have modified any after deleting it

I've had some connection problems too. Turning off the uPnP on the router itself did the job so I guess you'll need access to it in one way or another :/

ps: you should have an anti-virus installed lol

No ideas anyone? Problem still occurs and I haven't been able to figure out why.

Weird. When I use port 12345 I just get a black screen with the cursor...no "connecting" screen...just black. If I use port 6112 or 7001 I get the connecting screen

Connection hangs when trying to play skirmish

2013-07-20T11:27:05+02:00

Ok,

This is quite perplexing. I just reinstalled Win7 and redownloaded FA/FAF, I have no antivirus or firewall (just the windows firewall), and I can't start a private/skirmish game. When I try it just hangs at "connecting" and does not move.

I do not have peerblock
I have turned off Windows Firewall, turned it back on and set it to allow all incoming connections with FAF and FA having complete access to all ports and protocols
I have uninstalled/reinstalled both FA and FAF.
I have turned on uPNP, changed the port #

unfortunately I don't have access to the router configuration for some reason (getting connection reset when I try to connect to it). Its not mine and its in another building so there *may* be something going on there but I have been able to use it before not too long ago. I tried connecting to my phones mobile hotspot (since I was just doing a AI skirmish anyways) and had the same problem.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!
