Removal of CPU scores in lobby
-
I don't have problems with lagging or my computer. My sim runs faster than the score suggests, why I say it's not useful. I have not been the slowest computer in any game so far.
If asked in lobby I just say don't worry about me.

That is an answer that will just get you kicked, as it's beating around the bush.
That there are a lot of players (especially those with light laptops) that have a too low bench score is another problem. I've suggested just listing the CPU model...
But you get 240... so what CPU do you have?
2010... that predates 2nd gen i3/5/7, so that's maybe an i7-870?
Btw, bench scores have been reduced for the same systems some time ago, so it doesn't compare to older topics that well.
Gotta tell you man... 2011 was a good year for more efficient CPU's. If you upgraded in 2011 you might have recouped the investment on energy savings.

The benchmark map (that will replace the CPU score) is roughly 50% complete. I hope to complete it by the end of May, and integrate it with the client somewhere in June.
Fun fact: with comparison of the state of the game in May 2021, we already have more than 50% better performance

I could spend hours trying to tell what my computer specs are, if they don't believe me from me saying it's fine then they won't believe me when I tell them my processor.
It's something like a xeon e5 5680 3.3 ghz I think. Dell precision 7500 workstation. Still works good although I lost my quadro 5000 video card recently and the $100 replacement card doesn't work that great.

I can't make any guarantees, but if you just say you have a xeon e5 5680 3.3 ghz instead of a generic "trust me, it's fine", you'll probably find that things might improve.
Jerks will still be jerks tho.
-
I have a crazy idea. Show the processor name in the tooltip.
-
So is that processor good enough for you to play a regular (not a gap type) 12 player game?

You can find the first version of the benchmark map, along with a description of how to use it in the #game-benchmark-timings channel in the official FAF Discord.

R5 2600 4Ghz
16gb dual channel 2667mhz 14/16/16/16/48/54 memory.
10 UI mods.Also I feel like we could make a new topic or move this to the old one.

Best to use the channel in question to put your results in!
-
And note that it has been updated, in particular:
### Tweak the client We need to pass an additional program argument to the game. To do this see the attached screenshot and this description: Open the client, open the bar menu and open the settings dialogue. Then go to the `Forged Alliance Forever` tab and navigate to the `Command Line Format for executable` header. Make sure that it says: - "%s /RunWithTheWind" Do **not** forget the " ! -

They won't believe you from saying "I'm fine" because that's the exact line all the simspeed laggers use. The most likely result is.... you get kicked.
For FAF your Xeon is way below even an i5 from a year later and I would not be surprised if Dell throttles it.

this Discord post.
The only thing that link takes me to is your post saying; "it is disgusting that you posted that publicly while you're a team lead or soon-to-be team lead"
Typical piece of Bloatware, that Discord. Unclear maze that it is.

@jcvjcvjcvjcv Go to the #Game-benchmark-timing channel, you will find all you need out there.

I eventually did. My "not rebooted for ages" i5-2500K system from 2011 gives me 98 seconds.
Which makes me again laugh very hard at all the Ryzen 1st and 2nd gen system.
EDIT: After killing Discord I got 93 in the next run.
