Developers Iteration I of 2023

small question about the monkey lord, is this in the developer also undetectable for a granny or was it the patch? If so, I have overlooked the point or not found it.

granny - radar ^^

@Saver could you elaborate?

I only noticed in one game. Short version: I already have an Omi-sensor, but the Monkylord was only revealed during scouting and used again from sight as soon as the scout's vision ended. This even though the Monkylord was in the Omni function range.

Here's an example. Picture 1- I own an Omni and my opponent has a Monkylord + energy.
Image 2: I let a scout appear over the monky lord.

@Saver do you have a replay id for me?

Found out: i'll tackle it 🙂

well, as a complete layman regarding programming I am at awe of what you guys do and achieve with this game. It makes me question my carreer choices just because I would love to understand all the thechnical stuff that is going on to make this game work as it does and how you guys improve it.

THANK YOU!! And please keep up the great work!

@Saver I think it is fixed with: https://github.com/FAForever/fa/pull/4711

Could you test it again?

@Thomy100 thank you for your kind words 🙂

Cool, gonna try hosting some games with it today.

@Penguin_ are you sure that the server code is aware of that?

We've released a hotfix, we hope this also helps with people that constantly encounter issues with the preference file.

See the patch notes of [3751](https://github.com/FAForever/fa/releases/tags/3751) for the full patch notes.

## Bug fixes

- (#4741) Fix build preview of underwater storages

- (#4739) Fix Aloha being ignored by tactical missile defenses

- (#4740) Fix reclaim values of wreckages

- (acc6893) Enforce UTF8 encoding of preference file
    We weren't entirely aware that we stopped enforcing the encoding of the preference file. As a result a lot of people encountered issues. We hope by enforcing it again that those issues are resolved

## Contributors
