      @Lenkin said in Union control big trouble:

      @Jip when it will be in game? This shit literly ruin games . Players abuse it hard to steal mass and E sometimes every fucking min like here 26300903. LLx-Schneizel steal power and M every min and still ruin game and im sure make in on purpose. Prob his acc is stolen.

      It's available on FAF Develop. When you host a game you can choose a game type. Choose FAF Develop.

      Then in the lobby, there's a new type of union control option:

      Let me know how it works out. Note that the behavior of union control itself is unchanged. This just introduces a new, separate option that sits in between the default Supreme Commander experience and the old union control behavior. With this new option, union control is only applied when an army is abandoned. It only applies to the abandoned army.

      Please let me know how it works out. Don't forget to share the replay id accordingly.

            @lenkin You have not played a single game on the FAF Develop game type in 2026. This option is only available on FAF Develop at the moment, as mentioned in my previous post. What if you host the game yourself, pick the FAF Develop game type and then pick the new lobby option?

                so when a player disconnects can a team decide who gets that base? or do the units automatically go to the highest rated player, like in fullshare?

                  @prophet My suggestion would be to read the description (of the pull request) and/or give it a spin yourself by hosting a game with it. The short answer: all players gain access to the player that disconnected, in a similar fashion to how union control works. You and all team mates can switch focus back and forth to the abandoned army.

                    The feature has been rolled out and I've received the first feedback that indicates the problem is solved on Discord, as long as the host of the lobby decides to use the new lobby option. Thanks to those who spent time to try it out - it helps a lot with development.

                      Sorry but I cannot understand how to get into control of an army of the player who left? Where should I click? Or its key combination? Thanks...

                        Click on the player's name in the scoreboard. If you're using the supreme score board mod then you'll need the updated version "Supreme Score Board2HC" to shift-click to switch armies.
