Offline skirmish no longer working

Postby R_Charger » 14 May 2017, 11:27

My shortcut to offline FAF (C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe) starts the game but now when I start a skirmish it never connects in the lobby. Is this something to do with patch 3680?

Does this mean you don't have patch 3681?

And ofcourse we need logs to help you. (this isn't setup by a basic shortcut, i think?)
Check out this: http://wiki.faforever.com/index.php?tit ... e_Switches
Baiscly you add
Code: Select all
/log C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs\offlinegame.log   

to the goal/target of your shortcut.

So you get something like this:
Code: Select all
C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe /init init_faf_beta.lua /log C:\ProgramData\FAForever\logs\dev.log

Its weird because its fixed itself now. It happened after I tried an online co-op game (incidentally this was the 1st UEF mission - and when I won it said "Operation Completed" but clicking on the message didn't do anything and I had to kill Forged Alliance to exit). Since then I went online, started a skirmish and exited. When I go offline and start forged alliance from my offline shortcut it now connects to the lobby with no problems.

Thanks for the swift replies anyway. I am taking a week off from FAF now so my eyes can recover from the appalling lobby colours :shock:
