Confirming what Zlo said. The replay server receives replays and compares them to produce one replay. This is what you connect to and receive, exactly so that one player leaving early doesn't end the replay.
There has been what I think is a rare bug, where a live replay stops early. I have no clue what causes it. It does not happen to the replay saved on the server, and that comes from the same data. It happens in two different replay server implementations, Python and Rust. I think this might be something client-side, but I can never reproduce the issue on my end.

@indexlibrorum that seemed to help, thanks a lot!

I just tried changing the directory to a different one, but still run into the same issue.
The download creates a temporary file within my cache folder, but it never seems to finish. And it doesn't create a new folder for that mod within the new mods directory, so I guess it's not getting to the extracting/installing stage.

my son an i have the same problem

@frozen_byte I didn't start the module

попробуй поменять браузер который используешь на какой-нибудь хром, или попробуй с другого клиента https://github.com/FAForever/client

There’s a lobby setting to adjust the disconnect time.

Oh, you mentioned it. Didn’t realize it only makes it faster than the default time.

the game will auto download the files again if there is a difference better to do that with a ui mod

It requiring an assembly patch means a mod isn't going to be doing it unless you plan on learning how to reverse engineer closed source engines. Although even in that case, I'm not sure if a mod that messes with the .exe won't just result in an immediate desync regardless.

@jawbone said in Template Rotation option:

Anybody have any idea what Template Rotation does?

It's suppose to be activated by pressing the middle mouse button. But the all my middle mouse button does is allow me another way to pan the game map?!?!

I am also experiencing this problem, I'm on windows 10.

The middle mouse button only pans the map and doesn't rotate templates or select factory templates from the preview list.

In previous versions template rotating with the MMB was working for me with the same mouse and laptop as now.

Googling turned up with this old thread

It's from ages ago, but if the mods mentioned have been integrated into FAF it might hold some clue as to what's gone wrong?

Please this is the error i'm getting now, how do I update the environment?

@amygdala ah yeah I thought the solution might be something along those line. Just checking if I wasn't missing an in-game feature. Thanks.

You can't. Host / join some all welcome lobbies and get some games. Resetting rating would result in a huge wave of smurfs.

@jip Thank you, apparently it's a known issue over there!

Usually you can simply copy and paste your keybindings and templates (or any other setting) from your old Game.prefs - Just poke around and make a backup, then you can test it. In the worst case, you can simply restore the backup and try again.

Yeah, was looking into that as well, but as far as I know it can't be done unfortunately by default (maybe some UI mod allows it). But, I would be interested in getting that functionallity as well.
