Can't start FAF

Postby uberge3k » 07 Mar 2012, 15:48

Whenever I try to launch FAF, it gets stuck on the "Establishing connection and checking for updates" step. I'm not sure if it's related or not, but the wiki seems and forums seem very, very slow as well.

Is anyone able to host a game ? I'm at work, I can't check myself.

Must be stuck in a while loop. As there is only one in the whole server (I hit myself each time I write "while" in any language :), it will be easy to solve :)

A prime example of why you should always report issues instead of assuming that it's just you. :)

If you've got a issue, chances are that somewhere someone else can have it. Maybe now, maybe later. But if everyone keep it quiet, it will be never solved.

It's NEVER just you.
