Unable to Start a Coop Mission

[Teralitha]

I have tried several times to start a coop with mods, without mods, changing game settings to different things... and every time the mission is launched, we get to a map screen, and nothing happens. Sometimes different colored buildings appear randomly around the map but the mission doesnt begin like it would in campaign mode with only a small part of the map visible. I can see the whole map when my coops launch.

Now... this also happens when I join someone elses coop. The hosters get perplexed as to why their coop game wont start. I know that the reason is me, but I cant figure out why coops dont work for me, or for other players coop games that I join. I have the steam version of the game. The game shows that its linked. I can host and join any player vs player game with no issues.

Every time I try to start a coop or join a coop I am made to download a bunch of updates, every single time that takes a few minutes.. Is that normal?

I have the game for several months and never been able to get coop mission to work. What am I doing wrong?

It says in the faforever.com news section they're working on fixing coop.

[Teralitha]

But its only not working for me.

[BenDover]

It's not working for me either so I guess it's not just you and they are indeed fixing this.

[Teralitha]

I understand that something went wrong with it just yesterday, however, Ive not be able to get coops to work since I got the game and joined FAF many moons ago. Im sure my issue is unrelated to yesterdays problem

Well since now its not working for anyone, I recommend you to wait till they fix it. And then if you still have a problem, report again with logs as its explained in the red wall of text above.

[Teralitha]

I dont get any log. I just have to force shutdown the game. If there was a log, it would be here.

[BenDover]

To save logs you need to enable this option in FAF (options > settings > save game logs), just saying in case you run into any trouble in the future.

[Teralitha]

and how do i retrieve a game log?
