[Ladder solo] Bad race given

Postby aurel56 » 02 Sep 2019, 13:33

Hello,

I a m back to Faf after 18 months, I played a little with the old client that was still installed on my PC, and had no problems.
But yesterday, i downloaded the last client Downlord (which is really better, thanks !), and made a few 1v1.
I always choose the federation, but the system/game seems to give me a random race.
On 4 games, i never got federation (2 cybran, 1 aeon and 1 seraphim I think)

Is it a known issue ?

Thanks !

I have never gotten the wrong faction when I ladder. Downlord's client has a different way to select which faction(s) you want to use in a ladder match. It is NOT tied to the factions you chose in your most recent team game.

When you go to the "play" tab for Downlord's client and choose "1v1 ranked match" you should see a box that says "Select Factions." There are 4 faction logos there. You can click on them individually to enable or disable whether you will play those factions in a ladder match.

If you only want to play as UEF, you need to click on the icons so that all of the other factions are grayed out, and the UEF logo is blue.

You choose which faction(s) to ladder with before you press the "play" button underneath.
