Ah thank you. I haven't played FAF for years, just got into it again a couple weeks ago. Glad to see the community is still going strong.
My friend received his activation email this afternoon. Thanks for the replies! I'll sign up for the Discord too.
Your steam account name can be different.
If you can't login to steam for resetting password, you will also not be able to link any new account to steam even if we delete the old account. So fix your steam account first.
The FAF client bundles with a 64bit Java runtime. We dropped official support for 32bit ~3 years ago.
All modern CPUs for the last 15 years support 64bit except for Intel Atoms which won't run Forged Alliance anyway, all Windows versions since Windows 7 had a 64bit edition on launch 2009 (even XP had one, but that launched four years aftetr release in 2005).
There is no reason to run a 32bit Windows in 2022.
@stoprudnov To change language in the FAF client:
click hamburger button at top-left (explanation for what is a hamburger button: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_button)
click "Settings"
click "Language"
select Russian
To change language in the game itself:
while the game is running, click the circle button at the top of the screen
click "Options"
click "Interface"
click "Language"
select "RU"
User rights got super crazed, prevented me from changing them (even as an admin).
Removed entire FAF folder, reinstalled the client, restarted PC and the problem got resolved.
Thanks!
For testing purpose, disable any security software/firewall. I would guess the firewall is interfering with the patched files, when it has worked before.
I think it is flag of Cyprus? Not sure about that, hard to see in the image.
