Host a game and on the left hand side you select the FAFDevelop game type rather than just the faf game type

sera snipers have siege mode, not entirely sure if they outrange ravager with it but I'd guess so. Besides that, they have the strongest t2 shields meaning if you have a couple of sniperbots with a shield you can still just kill it besides them being in range cuz of their high dmg.

Aeon snipers still did the same. They countered percies, bricks, ACUs etc., the main situation where the range dif mattered were sera snipers against aeon snipers.

Yes gun upgrade is OP on any map where acu usage is relevant, apart from 5km 1v1 i guess. Even there it'll be oppressive once you get it, it's just harder to get

Best thing you can do is change the maps you play on, more specifically go for larger maps

@wolfred said in This looks a little off - I whant to say something that too many people have already said:

Is there a way we can contribute to the game's development or improve the lobby system?

I am always looking forward to seeing people wanting to contribute to the FAF project to make it better for everyone.

If you are asking specifically about the lobby-system you can head over to the lobby FAF client GitHub repository, and you can start bringing in your ideas.

occasional emptiness in the matchmaker queue

Usually, the prime time for match making starts around 15:00 UTC for a few hours - The queue for 3on3 is the most liked one, since it was introduced a few months ago.

Custom lobbies are most of the time populated with all kind of different maps to play. (NGL, gap is pretty popular)

I share your opinion about the match making GUI, that it probably would not hurt to refactor that part to make it even easier accessible. It is something I hear from time to time every few months.

This link shows all the open issues related to the FAF Client for the word "match". You can share your possible solution or thoughts on a raised issue/feature to start working on it or, when you are familiar with Java, even better, push a PR.

Just trust me bro

i had blocked: (as a australia)
contrun3.faforever.com
fr-turn2.xirsys.com
for about 3 months and that had completly disabled relays for me
but as of a update a week ago the relays are consistant. and really bad. need a new method to block them completly
i got thoes relays from running logs and seeing which ips came in each time i had a relay
games and lobbys were all so nice for 3 month. now there trash. i dont belive that the company is being DDos as all cause i can login fine.. these 3 broken updates that came out this week should be reversed.

We are aware

It was really forced to be Gap? Haa, I thought it was just a joke!

I have a walking mine with omni

I can use it clear out all the reclaim in the middle of Setons

It also has overcharge

@zoodoo4u You used to be able to hold Ctrl while using your mouse scroll wheel to change the size, but that's no longer an option. It has been mentioned already, but it's unknown if that function will return or if an alternative replacement will be introduced.

I've had a weird problem in chat. The main chat lobby frequently disconnects. And in older versions of the clients, when clicking to PM a player in-game, the side window would show the game they were in, the other players still in-game, and the game duration. This was incredibly useful when I would crash, would be able to quickly check if others had all crashed, and PM to let them know. Now, that window in the PM screen is blank, with zero information.

@goblinsly2 This is the link for the testing that was done for the new benchmarking system in Spring 2022, but it appears that the spreadsheet is no longer accessible.

White fire is more like a ~1k map imo and it does have some weird gameplay mechanics. It receives a lot of criticism in the highest bracket, but it could be a decent pick for the mid bracket I think

Just tip the balance to the FAF Random.jpg faction since that's the best faction already.

Problem solved.

Depending on the ammount of AI's and units even the beefiest CPU's are gonna struggle.
But the reality is that the game is much, much smoother on new CPU's compared to older ones.
Especially if you focus on single core performance over the amount of cores. So high clocked 6 core or something with 3D cache would be amazing for this game. As what it needs is basically 2 cores, with one of them being ultra fast.

Having good ram also helps a considerable amount.

GLHF!
