Forged Alliance has stopped working

Postby Saxxon » 22 May 2016, 08:57

I get this crash bug generally when playing solo games against the bot offline (so I can save the game). Usually after a few hours invested in a 1 vs 7 or 1 vs 9 along tech 3 with a few thousand units in play between all factions (ie I have 500+ and so do the bots).

I don't see a log for the game, though I am using the FAF Supcom.exe client via direct run from shortcut. Wasn't getting this problem so much before the lats patch or so.

Yeah, I checked the log folder in FAF and it only had the last one I'd played online, is there somewhere that an offline game would be logged at?

Hello Saxxon,

if you start the game over a desktop shortcut, you can force the game to make a gamelog.
Open you shortcut and go to the commandline.

The line should look like this:
Code: Select all
C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe /init init_faf.lua


Add the Log parameter "/log C:\ForcedGameLog.txt"
Should look like this:
Code: Select all
C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe /init init_faf.lua /log C:\ForcedGameLog.txt


Now the game will save the game log in c:\ root directory with the name "ForcedGameLog.txt".

greetings Uveso.
