What is a FAF file?

FAF files mostly belong to Fortress Interlocks. FAF files are not a single file type but a set of different data files used by several specialized applications. They include:

Fortress Order Files – These serve as configuration files for systems from Fortress Interlocks Ltd and Fortress Interlocks Label Printing System. They are used to manage and coordinate interlocking systems. More details can be found at Fortress Safety.

Profiler Dump Files – Generated by TADP, these files (sometimes called For Honor profiler data files) store performance profiling information.

Front Office Football Draft Files – Used by Front Office Football Central, these files contain draft information for football setups.

Compressed Game Replay Files – A portion are compressed with ZIP methods and serve as game replay files for FAForever. Further information is available at FAForever.
