    If you've played co-op missions Operation Blockade, Tha Atha Aez, Golden Crystals, or Overlord Surth Velsok recently, you've probably run into it. You saw patches of ground replaced by a red-and-black stripe pattern, where the mission's terrain should be. It wasn't a graphics setting or a broken install. Every player loading those four missions saw exactly the same thing. These four missions bring their own custom terrain textures, and the path to those textures had gone out of date, so the game couldn't find them anymore. Instead of showing the intended ground, it had nothing to draw there, so it fell back to the glaring placeholder pattern players have been reporting for a while. That's now fixed. The deployment chain has been corrected so it always points to the right path for each mission's own textures, and the fix has been checked thoroughly. It was checked against versions the community had already patched manually, and by loading the missions in-game, with several players confirming the terrain renders correctly and nothing else broke in the process. If these missions put you off before, now's the time to give them another shot. Load one up and see the difference for yourself. Have fun out there! Thanks to Seraphim-Noob and Brutus5000 for fixing this Bug! Full technical details are documented in the pull request. [image: 1787772060434-786a385e-70f1-4848-a4d0-0676f603b4fe-image-resized.png]

    General Information Dates: Signups Close: 14th of November, 14 UTC Drafting From: 14th of November, 15 UTC until 20th of November Tournament Start: 21st of November, 14 UTC Bracket: https://tournaments.faforever.com/t/6c60000c42 Chat: KoS OR PoS, FAF Tournaments website, And the appropriate discord channel Live coverage: Official: https://www.twitch.tv/faflive Tournament Organiser: hybrid_ Tournament Director: TBA Due to chat bugs and network issues, all official communication on the days of the tournament will be via discord in the appropriate text channel in the #tournaments section. Additional communication may take place on the tournament website. Captains Draft Kings Draft This tournament will be your typical captains draft, with the 6-8 highest rated players being captains for the King's side. If you have been selected as a captain, please make sure we are able to reach out to you on discord. Princes Draft Once the players in the Kings bracket have been selected, we will proceed with the Princes Draft. Once again the 6-8 highest rated remaining players will become captains, and will start the pick process for the participants that weren't picked. Draft Information The draft will take place on the 14th of November, 15 UTC until the 20th of November. It will take place in the #KingofSetons channel on the Official FAF Discord in the Tournaments section. I would prefer to do it in one go and if captains would like to arrange a call date so that we could potentially stream the draft that would be great, I will contact all of the captains to see if this is possible once they have been selected. Captains may pick any player, and no player is able to reject being drafted. If the player does not wish to play with who they have been drafted with, they will withdraw from the tournament. The draft orders will be determined once the signups have closed. Format A simple double elimination bracket or swiss with a final, with all the games being BO3. There will be 6-8 teams in each bracket. Tournament Specific Rules Players may not be used in the same slot consecutively. Mappool Seton's Clutch - scmp_009 Rules The official FAF Tournament Rules apply. Some of the most important of these rules are: Disconnects within 5 minutes may result in a rehost. The Tournament Director has the last say afterwards. Players will replay the same map if they draw. If the incorrect map is hosted, the correct map will be hosted and the incorrect map will not count towards the score Players who do not appear without valid reasoning will be given a warning that may result in being temporarily suspended from tournaments. If a player does not show up in Round 1, they may be replaced. For all subsequent rounds, it will be treated as a forfeit and they will be eliminated and not replaced. All participants will be allowed a 15-minute wait at the start of a tournament to show up however after this 15 minute wait the Tournament Direct has the right to disqualify you from the tournament. In the case where you will be late but do intend to arrive you need to message the Tournament Director preferably via Discord to inform them you will be late but will show up. When doing this please provide an approximate time delay until you arrive, it will then be the Tournament Directors decision whether than delay is too long or acceptable. If your team loses a member, you may find a substitution within the rank requirements. The Tournament Director's decision is final. A "substitute" is a person who replaces a member of a team participating in a team tournament. The substitute may only replace a single person, and the replaced member is considered withdrawn from the tournament. A person may only participate as a substitute in case they were/are not already an active participant of the tournament - either organizer, participating player, a substitute, or a replaced player. The replaced player, relinquishes any and all prize eligibility to the substitute but only once the substitute has won at least 1 series. Please make sure all lobbies are passworded and inform your opponents the password and casters if applicable.

    FAF is all volunteers so there isn't really a definitive roadmap. Current trends are possible UI improvements (being careful of automation/making things too easy) and a lot of engine bug fixes and performance improvements. New units and game mechanics are for mods to do due to FAF's preservation mission, but imo FAF does have some places to improve mod support in. That does have the challenge of preserving support for old mods though.

    I'm not sure what you mean by super buggy audio, but it would be helpful if you could try these specific workarounds since I've developed fixes for them: Change from 5.1 (side speakers) or 7.1 audio to stereo. Side speakers because FA supports the older 5.1 back speakers channel format. This is the bug fixed in the binary patch. If your PC uptime is more than 24.86 days, sounds will play once per game session. Restarting your PC will fix this. This is a bug in XACT so it doesn't fit in a binary patch.
