Player Colors not working after updating to 2022.6.0

Hello,

Since the last update to 2022.6.0, the player colors function (enemies are colored red, allies green) no longer works reliably for me.

(just to be clear)

instead, if this mode is toggled on both enemies and allies are colored black (see image). Of course, the function cannot be used in this way.

It only seems to happen in some games or when I start the game locally with C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe.

I had the problem (both ingame and in the replay) for example in that game:

Not sure whether the problem occurs only for me or for everyone when player colors is activated. Maybe someone with client version 2022.6.0 can check it in the mentioned replay above.

Since I use the function a lot, it would be great if the bug could be fixed.

This was due to a change to the game code on FAF Develop. A patch was made to add functionality to the team color mode but additional lua changes need to be made as well which will soon be released.

Okay, thank you! Hope the problem will be fiexed soon.

Just out of interest. Can you say what additional color functions are planed? Is it planned to show enemies and friends not only in red and blue but in different red/blue shades? Of course that would be a huge improvement for that mode!

You can see drafts of what the functionality may look like here https://github.com/FAForever/fa/pull/3650

This is genius! Can't wait for it.
