    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 These four missions bring their own custom terrain textures, and the path to those textures had gone out of date, so the game couldn't find them anymore.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]

We will respond as soon as possible. Please do not send private messages here on the forums. Thank you. About this tournament series The "Super-Noob Olympics" are our entry-level tournaments. First and foremost, they are meant to be a sparring floor for beginners. Map pools will be appropriate for the skill level e.g. usually avoiding 20x20 and high reclaim maps. As beginners tend to be less familiar even with the "classics", we try to release the map pool somewhat early in order to provide you with some time to practice. About the Dojo tournaments We alternatingly hold entry- and mid-level tournaments on a monthly basis, also alternating between 2v2 and 3v3. Usually, we run our events on the 4th Saturday of the month with 2 PM UTC being the kick-off time. Current rotation: Average Joe 2v2 (u1650 individual, u3000 combined) Super-Noob 3v3 (u1250 individual, u3300 combined) Average Joe 3v3 (u1650 individual, u4500 combined) Super-Noob 2v2 (u1250 individual, u2200 combined) Feel free to check out upcoming events and maybe even sign up early: Tournaments On said tournaments page, you can also find the hall of fame and all previous results including replay IDs and lineups.

    If I recall correctly Quakeworld, the netcode mod for the 1st person shooter Quake, did exactly this.

    For further explanation: the game doesn't have a concept of mod versions. This ever new version needs to have a different uid, otherwise it could not pick an old mod version for replays while keeping the new version for playing.

    @Szasz Don't most modern AIs no longer depend on AI mapmarkers anyway?
