I could be wrong but i don't think anyone thinks rating is a 100% perfect test of skill. One player could get up to 1400 from winning astro games while someone like me stays around 1200 cus i play all sorts of different games. Rating is just a general guide and means different things for different people. Now if someone has 2 accounts thats not great but if they just have a low rating for their skill i agree that is not at all smurfing.

@treos i had the same issue and was finally able to find a rather easy fix. Selection deprioritzer use "exotic" units which are excluded from the selection. However, you can change which units are tagged as exotic in the file "SelectionDeprioritizerConfig.lua" whithin the mod.

e.g change the line:
"uea0304", -- Ambassador
to this
--"uea0304", -- Ambassador (so the whole line is now a comment and the change is easy to revert)
will untag the UEF strat bomber from your exotic units.

Your bomber hotkey and your select all air units hotkey will select UEF strat bombers now again.

So im currrley not quite sure how to best aproch displaying the leaderboard right now as im removeing the mission selected from the main page so will need a way to select the mission from the Leaderboard Ui

Thats exactly what i meant in my last post's edit. You need a new type of leaderboard dropdown entry like "coop", and then you need another dropdown where people select the mission:

Hmmm this looks very possible, good idea.

The engine itself cancels ALL building as soon as a movement order of any kind is given. This is the fundamental reason than none of the mobile factories can build while moving and it's not something that can easily modded.

There is a workaround, that would require some substantial coding - to create an Economy Event for the cost of the unit(s) ordered - which, when completed, would spawn the requested units above the unit in question - but that's a bit of fiddly code that would require some UI changes to implement seamlessly.

This same restriction comes into play whenever a 'deploy' order is given. ALL other orders are cancelled by the engine.

Great, thank you very much man!

No there is no way in the client itself. The only thing that shows it is the faforever.log file where it states your mu and sigma next to your nickname.

This would be better as a MOD which friends can use to help balance informal gameplay.

It would be like a 1v1 sure, but between 2.8k rated players.

I'm a big ultrabook fan and fell for the thermal throttle trick in 2017. My HP Envy is having big issues running games with more than 4 players, rest is fine. I used to play on my old work laptop that had a normal cooling system (i5, gen 5) and worked fine even in dual gap, getting to -2 simspeed at its worst.
I have a question, though, how much have ultrabooks improved in the past several years? I am looking into getting a ZenBook Duo 14 UX482, which is supposed to consistently run at good GHz, but I'm sceptical about longer time under heavier load. Has anyone had an opportunity to try the laptop yet (or similar higher-end ultrabooks)?

The constant learning curve and the constant unexpected tricks/tactics/strategies used against me. I always feel like a beginner (in a good and exciting way) and I've been playing for 5+ years. When I get wrecked the feeling is usually "wow, how did they do that, i must learn that" as opposed to "i never had a chance".
The full map zoom is something you cannot live without when you play other rts and the constant rebalancing of units with the updates to the client etc shows the constant evolution of the game. In no way has this game reached its peak and I dont see it reaching it anytime soon. i honestly believe if not for the single thread on cpu bottleneck issue then this game would be a top esport game.

Honestly your hardware is massively overkill for the game and I would imagine if you're playing multiplayer you're not the one slowing the game down. It's an unfortunate downside of the game engine being largely single threaded while doing realtime calculations of all projectiles, pathing, veterancy, and so on. If you're doing unranked games then check out the quality of performance mod, and also take a look at this thread talking about an optimization you can do: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/123/guide-fake-fullscreen-and-optimisation/2

Icedreamer did better benchmark than this. Not only it's shorter but also shows the most taxing part of game, ASF fights.

Glorious !

hey Zlo, thanks for sharing the facts, most of them I didn't even know about.. but what I would like is to use the left click for ENGIES, and they don't have the regular mode, just the ground fire one, and they can't switch it.

In few words I would like to make the attack-move the same as reclaim, patrol, move etc. functions, i.e. that when clicking Alt your cursor become of the attack-move instantaneously and you can use the left click. This also because when your cursor is above a reclaim field if you are zoom in close it becomes of the reclaim type and if you click Alt it won't change. But I think this can't be done without some new UI mod..

do you want live casters or would me doing casts of games after the fact work?

Live casters is the preferred format, since they'll have a full livestream and record at the same time.

@MCTarakan it is not installed there. Maybe it is possible to add them but it will looks ugly on small minimap

@arma473 these are games where I do enter into the game, but "x has been defeated" is the first thing I see, immediately on entering.

I have never seen a replay of such a game when I checked.

I assumed in these cases my opponent enters the game first and also leaves it before I enter.
