so true boys

That seems about the same rate of success custom games have lol. I swear it's 1 re for every 3 attempts but we are all FAF crackheads who aren't overly bothered by it 😉

I haven't been huge into ladder over the years but in the last few weeks I played a lot before I left country for work and I felt that ladder had been connecting fairly reliably.

I recommend keeping your spirits up and just sticking with it. A few times when a ladder game didn't reconnect I immediately rejoined que and seemed to get matched with the same group and had some great games.

That is correct. In order to figure out that information you’d have to run the replay through the actual game simulation (I.e. watch the replay). You could probably create some sort of mod that would dump that info out while the replay is running, but I’m not very familiar with that side of things. A mod like that might even exist already.

I guess game doesn't like your username. Consider making a user with name made of only ASCII characters.

@magge OK so....after a lot of testing I think I have narrowed the issue down to 2 mods. "Rings For All" and "UI mod tools"

The random freezing while zooming in and out would almost happen many times during an average game (even if it didnt completely freeze and crash) and that effect is nowhere present when those two mods are disabled and zero crashes now or anything for many dozens of games.

For my part I have no skills to investigate this further but it does seem like there are a lot of people complaining about mid game crashing so maybe this is related.

I am able to use my favorite icon packs again with zero issue, the only bummer for me is not having Rings For All active because that is an amazing mod but build range preview has been working fine so everything is back to normal in FAF world for me.

Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

If anyone else is crashing mid game and you have either of these 2 mods enabled try disabling them and reassessing.

AI uses TML very well to pick off valuable targets, so you really don't want them to set up. It's going to take proactive scouting to find where they are and some quick bomber or gunship strikes to take them out.

Defensively, the upside is that T2 TMD is relatively cheap and can be spammed, but if you're playing for map control you clearly can't defend everything, so going on the offensive is better.

Alternate option: Play cybran and get T3 loyalist bots ASAP and watch those missiles bounce back to the launchers that sent them. lol

Update: This post helped nab a great player who has been a hoot to have with us, so I figure it's worth a bump a month later to try again.

We also have a couple new players that we've gotten into the game, so there's some fresh meat mixed in as they learn to GIT GUD.

But averaging 5-8 players on Friday nights and we'd love to bump that up to 6-10, so if you're a fun person who loves the game win or lose, and who enjoys pivoting to some novelty modes like PhantomX and King of the Hill when we have odd numbers, give me a reply or a PM.

Friendly reminder from last night to wait until battleships pass overhead before firing your Billy Backpack from underwater. lol

Good to hear that it's working now!
