FAF client: Empty chat window

Postby Diesel_Ded » 24 Nov 2017, 21:28

Greetings to all members of local FA community.
This is my first post here and unfortunatelly it's kinda sad.

I've installed Downlord's FAF client (0.7.7.2) and it seems to work fine at first sight, except "Chat" window. Upon being opened it shows nothing

According to the client log (see in attachment) and client UI, there are no any chat-related connectivity problems.
Firewall doesn't block FAF client traffic as well (I even tried with FW disabled).

Am I doing something wrong?
Maybe additional configuration of the client is needed?

Hello Diesel_Ded,

and welcome to FAForever!

You are using downlords client and you can post your error directly to git-hub here:
https://github.com/FAForever/downlords- ... ent/issues

Read first all issues and see if your error is already reported.
If not, click on "new issue" and write the same like here.
This way you can be sure it will be fixed.

I dont know much about the internal structure of downloads client, but the errorlogs shows this:
Error while loading local replays
NoSuchFileException: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\replays

Just a try, but can you check if the directory "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\replays" exist, or create a new one ?
Or maye if the directory exist, delete everything inside "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\replays".

Greetings, Uveso.

[EDIT]:
If you want to report a bug for the FAForever client, you can make an issue here:

And if you want to report a game bug, then this is the right place:

Uveso, thx for pointing the direction where FAF client alpha bugs should be reported to - I'll post there.
Log error about absence of replays folder isn't related to chat prroblem imho, it's just because I didn't have any replays at that moment.

Btw, I've found a temporary workaround - switched back to using stable FAF client and chat works like a charm there :)

Anyway, thanks again.
