@melanol that is indeed what this commit does
and there has been no change to that since

@magge Thank you. The problem were the music files.

Thanks for the info
@relentless FYI (sounds like an issue with default AI)

To my knowledge, yes, this has always been the behavior of all fighter-bombers

Servers are down, we haven't heard yet why

The requested operation requires elevation

For some reason* windows says you need admin rights to access done parts of windows.

*probably you started the client as admin once

@magge said in game crashed:

Does it work without nomads and SIM/UI mods?
I cannot pinpoint which mod caused the crash (my blind guess would be nomads), because there are so many errors and warnings straight from start - Best is to disable mods to figure out which one does not work or is incompatible.

thanks for response, but there was no mods activated (except mex manager). does not matter, it's not regularly, I created this post just if I can help.

To everyone whos having a problem with game crashes due to sound - try deleteing 2 music files from supreme main directory.
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\sounds
.xwb and the .xsb "music".

You do not get permabanned for the timeouts - The max. timeout is 30 minutes AFAIK, and it will decrease over time.

My blind guess would be, your security software is interfering with the connection, check that first.

If it still does not work, then attach a client/replayID log, please.

On Windows: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Forged Alliance Forever\logs

And for two days there is a DDOS happening as well from time to time, when you are unlucky you could get caught in between.

@jip

Too late! I already spent hours last night re-writing the scripts and testing!

I figured it was worth doing, just to speed up the sim speed a little. The new script has only a third as many operations to complete, while the old script would call the Random function to run 12 different times when spawning a unit/building. Now it is only called 3 times.

I don't know how fast Lua is at running the Random function, but that was a lot of unnecessary work for every spawned unit. Now multiple that by hundreds of units. And I'm assuming just running a simple "ifelse = variable" is faster than calling a Random number. So, new scripts should help with spawning large waves. (Except in an issue where spawn is too close to map edge and triggers the test loop, hence why I need to add an abort to the script.)

Not that people should use the mod on maps with spawns close to map edge, but someone surely will. So just trying to correct for that issue.

@xieq said in Replay analysis:

Usually while I dont have resources to upgrade, it seems He have them all the time so he upgrades everything faster at any given time...

The thing is, you did have plenty of resources. At one point you were at +35 mass and overflowing, and you had at least 1500 mass in storage the entire first 7 minutes. You didn't drop to 0 until you started building T3 pgens and a quantum gateway.

You had way more than enough mass to upgrade all your mexes, you just spent it poorly. The overflow from your opponent's teammate had very little to do with it honestly, it all just comes down to you spending your mass poorly.

was always like that
and afaik considered to be intended
Edit: it was like that in Supreme Commander non-FA too

In the lobby options you have whole section with settings for AIx

Cheat multiplyers and omni settings are giving AI full map vision and multiply their resources and build speed

For some reason, the service that provides that feature didn't come back online during the server restart on the 19th. It will require another server restart to get it back up & running, but it's not a critical service, so it will have to wait until the next planned server service, which is unknown atm.

I turned off Steelseries GG and my first extended game had no crashes... wow. I'll try again a few times. Thanks.

Not sure. Maybe in the tech support forum.

@bbi Cybran artillery are SO damn bad compared to the other factions, EMP be damned!
Aeon (t2?) gunships are great for their AOE, but can be comprehensively ccountered using anti-air.
Aeon T3 gunships have to use range and kite opponents, which is stupidly hard given the speed of typical air units. For the most part they try to do what ASFs do, but much worse.

(Someone correct me if I'm failing to understand stuff here!)
