cannot join or host game with Downlords FAF client v0.10.6

[Starheaven]

Due to not being able to download maps on legacy client I installed the latest version and updated the game path to where my retail non steam SC Forged alliance is installed (beta3603) in my G drive.
Also under my settings Forged alliance forever my advanced setting shows command line format for excecutable as "%s" and the execution directory as Use default directory
is this correct?
I installed downlords FAF in my E drive not the default installation in C drive.

When i sign in and try to either join a game or host a game i get uh oh eror game did not terminate correctly etc
including a list of error details

then i get into the game and cant see my username

Help would be appreciated to get this up and running

[Starheaven]

I have resolved this issue so far its okay.
I am concerned i have had to add the website https://www.faforever.com
in my java control panel under the security tab exception list. It will allow applications to launch from the site is this safe?
This was not necessary for the FAF legacy client.

[Uveso]

Well i don't know why you need to add this to your security tab and other users don't need it.

But there are no apps that will be launced from the website.
You need the access for the API:

Code: Select all

I/O error on GET request for "https://api.faforever.com/featuredMods/0/files/latest": Read timed out;

The legacy client is written in python and is not using java. That's why it was not necessary there.

[Starheaven]

Can I please have some help.

Under settings>forged alliance Forever

command line format for executable
"%S"
is this correct

What is the execution directory which folder should this point to it currently says use default directory

I logged into FAF on the website and reset my password but still get these java errors when running Downlords FAF

Under my legacy client I linked the steam FAF that I have in Steam (not installed) as I use a non steam version of FAF.
What do i need to do with Downlords FAF to get it running

[ZthueeSpam]

I'm getting the exact same problem as the OP since upgrading to the latest FAF client. It doesn't happen every game, but maybe 20-30% of the time. Sometimes after this message, the game does load, but it is not the FAF game code, it is the original Forged Alliance code (different lobby UI for multiplayer game, and desyncs when playing 1v1 ladder).

I've tried deleting the gamedata folder and letting the client redownload the latest files, but the problem keeps returning (from time to time).

[Starheaven]

Even though i added the website entry into my security exception list in java it still continues to happen.
I have since removed the entry in Java as it was not the solution.
Sometimes when i am successful in joining a game it shows an old version of GPGNET lobby (picture attached) with missing data and my username is not showing in any of the occupied slots but in all instances I get this message box come up (picture attached) with a list of java errors prior to the game screen where you select where you would like to play in the slots.

Can someone also please explain regarding the Dowlord's Settings>Forged alliance Forever>Advanced in my previous posts is there a user guide that explains them perhaps i also need to enter the location path for Execution directory instead of leaving it as "Use default directory"

[Gorton]

Ok, I need you to try again so that you get the error, and give us the full "downlords faf client.log"
in C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs .

It may be too big to upload here, in which case please upload to a file sharing site or pm me and I will give you my email to send this to.


Also, in relation to the directory, this is what mine looks like:

[Starheaven]

Thanks Gorton,

Here is a screen shot of my current directory settings points to the FAF installation beta patch 3603 also tried just FAF installation without the beta patch still get same issues.

Tried again today same errors as in previous post Downlords logs attached.
Yesterday I tried something different I logged into http://WWW.faforever.com while logged in I started up downlords client I was able to play a game without an issue but when i tried again same issues came up even though i was logged into the FAF website. I also noticed a few times on the FAF site i get a white blacklist error when logging in and had to reset same password to log in maybe that has something to do with the errors also.

[PhilipJFry]

Code: Select all

java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessException: I/O error on GET request for "https://api.faforever.com/featuredMods/0/files/latest": Read timed out; nested exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

make sure your antivirus or windows defender or firewall or whatever doesn't block the faf client i guess

[Starheaven]

My antivirus is set on game mode and is not interfering with the game.
To be safe I added FAF client to the exceptions list and also checked windows firewall all are set allowed to access.
Started up Downlords client same issues occur.
Its definitely not the antivirus or windows firewall. Defender is disabled due to having an antivirus.
I tried to log into http://www.faforever.com nothing happens and appears to hang for a while when I select log in again i get this error come up could this be linked to the issues with Downlords FAF client. did the password reset again and logged into www.faforever.com started up Downlord's FAF still get same issues.

Whitelabel Error Page

This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.
