cant connect to games

Postby Hardnewb » 22 Jun 2019, 17:46

i changed to the java client because the other one is not showing games currently and now i cant connect to any games anymore.
when i join a game FA starts normally but then it just turns black, saying connecting in the top left Corner
i turned off my firewall on my computer
i deleted the files in ProgramData\faforever
restarted FAF, restarted my computer i tried to launch it as an administrator, after it didnt worked i deleted the programData again since there was a warning that it could cause problems

Code: Select all
warning: GPGNET: Error processing gpg.net command CreateLobby: ...er\gamedata\lua.nx2\lua\ui\controls\popups\popup.lua(30): attempt to call method `SetSolidColor' (a nil value)


looks to me like your issue is not client related (the error you posted is from the new patcher which is not implemented yet so that error is in every log of every user) but game/game mod/game settings related

try deleting your game.prefs file (which contains the settings for fa) which is located in
Code: Select all
%localappdata%\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\

thanks for the help,
for the launcher:i was thinking its the launcher since i still could watch replays with the old one and couldnt even do that with the new one.

so i deleted the game.prefs file and now i got a new error

now it says
Code: Select all
warning: Error running '/lua/ui/uimain.lua:SetupUI': ...reme commander\gamedata\mohodata.scd\lua\lazyvar.lua(92): You are attempting to set a LazyVar's evaluation function to nil, don't do that!

does the game run at all if you start it via steam?
what happens if you run the faf patched game outside of the client (via the exe in C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\)?

I have the same problem.
I deleted game.prefs and also C:\ProgramData\FAForever\

It still is the same problem like the first post in this thread "when i join a game FA starts normally but then it just turns black, saying connecting in the top left Corner"

Oh boy, i got it. It was a simple problem! In downlords faf client - settings - forged alliance forever- game location -> was wrong ! The game location was set on default to normal supreme commander, and not supreme commander forged alliance.

I changed that to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance"
Now it is running.
