General information:

As some of you may know the FAF devs are working on a solution to the bane that is the current net code.
This solution is called ICE-Adapter. It allows users to connect to each other without having to map a port for the game and even allows users to reconnect after a timeout.

The version linked in the OP is fairly close to release so we need a lot of people to test it so we can be sure that it works properly before rolling it out and thus forcing it upon all of you.

Should you encounter any issues then feel free to report them and post logs from the session (and try to get logs from other users in the same session)
log files from the ice beta client can be found in C:\ProgramData\FAForeverDevelop\logs and attached to posts in the forum via the upload attachment button.

I don't really understand what this ICE adapter, client is...
Is it to replace the current python client that everyone is using?
If it is, is it Linux or Wine compatible at least?

We have many problems with the current client under Ubuntu (just look at the LINUX SUPPORT IS HERE thread) already. Will it be worse or better?

Thanks!

It should be linux-compatible with no new issues. It only adds a new binary, similar to faf-uid.

Thanks!
It's clearer now.

I've tried to test this on linux but I got auto-banned from the test server. ><
Can someone help me?

what makes you think that you are banned on the test server?

you don't even need a password to log in on the test server - the only possible issue with logging in is if you changed your username recently/your acc is fairly new since the test server uses a copy of the production db which is a little bit outdated by now (maybe a few months? not sure when it was updated the last time)

Hi,

Played 2 games so far.

1v1 - 30mins with a russian, no connection problems. Dont know the player so hard to tell if connection is working better.
3 player survival for 3-5 mins. We melted fast LOL.

Hard to get any game going since no one seems to be on the test server.

It also seems to be taking old data for players rating/number of games, but who cares...


3rd game: connection issue, but the guy milka95g said it was his internet, it reconnected and went on. On the other hand we were not able to test properly beyond 15mins because for some reason we couldnt kill the attacking AI, i presume because we had 1 ai on our team, that messed up the map....

The beta client displayed a window that clearly said I'm banned. I cannot get through the login window. : (

Problem3:
The client starts but it gives me this message in a window:
Error from Server: Fraudent login attempt detected. As ... your account has been banned permanently...

Second attempt:
It says I'm banned. wtf! ><

The normal server with the normal client works btw.
I have no idea how the test server works. I tried to use my user name and password to log in.
My account is not that new, like half a year old... and I didn't change my user name.

try logging in with a different faf acc
