Can't create build templates-can't create lobby presets. >.> [SOLVED]

[Crotchcritter]

Here are my two issues:

Whenever I highlight units to create a template, the button is already "greened" and I can't click it to create it. I'm talking simple stuff, like 4 mass storages.

In lobby, when I click on Presets and go to Create a template, it allows me to name it, but as soon as I hit save...Nothing happens. I've also noticed that everytime I join a game or host one, I have to set my color, race, and preferences (no full share, teams top and bottom, etc). This was never an issue in the past...

I recently did a full reinstall, this was when this issue first arouse. So I did it again, no avail.

Thanks for your help!

sounds like you're missing a game profile, start the game once via dvd/steam or from C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe (programData is a hidden folder, it exists) to create one

You are a gentleman and a scholar; That solved all my issues. For me/others, why aren't the profiles a part of FAF, or make you atleast create one the first time you boot up? I never would've thought I'd have to create an original GPG/FA profile to fix that issue.

We are talking about that in this thread. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10230

It's because FAF was created for an audience which already played the game (migrating from gpg). As you can see there is some movement to change this.
Would be nice for you to give some tips if you have some ideas.
Have a nice day

On the bright side, that's fixed in 3641.

Probably.

I will post in that other thread shortly, thanks for the link!

However, now when I play in game..it doesn't show the scores of each player, it just says "Playing" next to each persons name in the score box. This is an issue when I'm trying to decide who I need to kill first in team games...Any ideas?

This means the host turned off scores.

[Crotchcritter]

lmfao. I've never seen that before, and I did only play with the same host those 3 games. That...would make sense.

Thanks.

Presets are not working. How to reproduce: 1) Host Phantom game (map was Midgar); 2) Open presets (I had no presets yet); 3) Click on Create, fill in name and click Ok; 4) Lobby freezes, Fatal Error menu opened.

hello Argon,

well its not solved ?

So you installed a new windows, copy back your game without installing it, and then after the first start you got those errors ?

And after recreating a new Game.prefs file the error still exist in the normal game ?
