I can't host or join games

[dlong74325]

I downloaded the new downlords FAF client I can't host or join games. My map tiles are grey....no image. I get an error....Not sure how to fix. Please help

[Geosearchef]

Code: Select all

Address family not supported by protocol family: connect

Usually caused by ipv6, solution afaik is to tell java to prefer ipv4.
can be fixed by entering the following command in a terminal:

Code: Select all

setx _JAVA_OPTIONS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

symptoms are: no game types shown in the create game dialog, error with fetching token for coop leaderboards shown under the top right bell

Make sure to update to version 0.10.4 and then delete /c/ProgramData/FAForever/bin.

I updated to version 0.10.4 and deleted the bin file. Every time I click create game the bin file comes back in the folder....?

That is intended. Geosearchef asked you to delete that in case something corrupted was hiding in it. The client will populate the folder with the correct files again.

make sure the launch commands in the client contain the following statement

Code: Select all

"%s"

you can change the launch commands in the client settings (top left corner)
