    Some months ago, I made a suggestion in the Discord FAF Game Development channel to at least have a notification in the team chat, when someone changes POV (from X to Y). Unfortunately, it got no traction, or it was simply too labor-intensive to make it happen back then.

    My gut tells me (well, by watching random replays), the game-mode gets more and more popular and that is why some QOL additions are needed. I like the mode, and it would be amazing if it would be higher on the priority list.

    So far, what is needed, IMO:

    Notification in team chat when someone changes player POV Union-control should be opt-in, (like in WC3) and automatically enabled when the player dies/disconnects Bonus: Make it possible to see which units are getting controlled with a different unit selection color (like in WC3) and bug fix mentioned from above poster

    I would blindly guess, the developers already were thinking of something like that, when they introduced the game-mode, but lack of time, or SC engine itself makes it complicated/impossible to make those features happen.

    @Jip said in Offline Line Campaign/Skirmish:

    You need to host at least one (coop) game through the client. That will retrieve the file in question. Then you can play offline again.

    The game files are not included with the launcher by default.

    Thanks for the help Jip, I appreciate it.

    @magge said in Is this game impossible to play with Steelseries arctis 9?:

    If someone is inspired to make a tutorial, I would appreciate that. Then I can attach that to the current solution thread and give credit to the tut-maker.

    Hey, i'm back, I'm sorry about just dumping this and leaving but i was just tired of this problem blocking me from playing one of my favourite games. Have some energy now to make an effort to maybe start playing this game again.

    An idea that just came to me was for the game to have a built in system for the sound. Like @Nex talked about the program voicemeeter, an interface between whatever sound you have on your computer and the game engine. But that it is built into the client. Like a virtual sound output, so the sound outputs from the game engine to this "virtual unit" and this "unit" outputs the sound to windows. Like a translator, doesn't have to be pretty.

    Would be cool if you could forward this idea to the dev team if you have contact with them, they've probably already thought about most solutions, but hey it takes like 1 minute to read, and if they don't think it'll work atleast it was worth a shot. Edit: Okey i just noticed that @Jip is team leader

    I will in the meantime try with @Nex solution and a bunch of others.

    @Sam-site I've tried that, if you look into my post history i haven't been able to play since back in 23 Apr 2022 when i made my first sound issue post and have probably reinstalled the game 10-20 times (cleared all files and such in-between) changed headset, change settings everywhere in every possible combination since then. I even had a 4 hour long talk with logitech support (my headset i had before this). I even got to talk with their "chief of engineer" or something on the dev team of the software, because somehow the stereo option on their program Ghub is not real stereo, so i asked them why the f they called it stereo if it's not real stereo (i mean ofc real real stereo can't be virtual right? but i would think that a "virtual real stereo" would behave the same way software-wise as real stereo, okey i'm talking outside the scope of my knowledge here and only what i THINK i know and i might be way off). And if i plugged it in the headphone jack i couldn't use it as stereo via windows....or it was something like that, can't quite remember exactly, it was all very technical and wierd.

    @Jip I will look into his posts, thanks.

    @gandalf22 You or/and your son can appeal the smurf-ban and explain the situation with evidence to resolve it very easily. Additionally, if you think someone else is smurfing, please report them, so the mod team can investigate.

    @mostlostnoob Generally correct, but in this case we (mods) discussed it internally and agreed that a ticket would work best, for basically the same reasons arma wrote out 🙂

    No changes have been made to the AI for a few months now so I don't think it's a change in that regard.
    Which map and which mod are you using. Have you tried it without said mod? Usually a 5.9 AIX should result in pretty quick teching and building.

    One thing you could do is observe the AI to see what it's doing thats causing this problem. There are also logs produced that can give us an indication of something is going wrong that's stopping it

    It was mainly implemented to try and be helpful to the moderators so they could message people who were not currently online. And it was all set up as a bit of an experiment to see if it would work with the number of players that we have.
