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 These four missions bring their own custom terrain textures, and the path to those textures had gone out of date, so the game couldn't find them anymore.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

    LOUD is much like FAF, but primarily aimed at players versus AI games, rather than PvP. Also, like FAF, it is it's own environment so it's a bit of a shift. You can find it at https://www.moddb.com/mods/loud-ai-supreme-commander-forged-alliance Having made my usual pitch, I'll point out that the code used, to do this, is entirely portable to FAF - but you'll have to find someone to do that.

    Through the power of having AI do whatever the fuck I want, it has managed to port over all of the UEF from SC2 into FA with surprising accuracy, including sfx, vfx, build animations, etc. The research system is also fully implemented. As of writing, UEF is the only faction "done". Sadly, I know I can't upload this to the FAF mod vault due to licensing and copyright and such, but I think it's cool enough to want to show off anyway. Watch a full UEF v UEF match I played against AI here, then a feature showcase of hunker, jumpjets, etc. It's not 100% complete yet, and the balance is still pretty tentative, but I think it looks pretty good so far. Didn't know this until very recently, but apparently the SC2 models are absolutely huge compared to the FA models, and even when scaled down to half size, they're on par or still quite bigger.
