latest Ubuntu LTS has openjdk-14-jre in the repo
so it is fine by me.

just ping us for the RC release if you guys dont test it with open jdk

in the mean time everyone checks his/her exotic distro for availability :pp

U saw the new RC?

Podli

Game runs fine, sometime i have exceptions, but not often.
But any mods doesn't work at all. I can see downloaded maps, can download mods, enable them in the FAF, but they just not working in the game.

@axel12 i saw but i havent tested it.
i have been updating the wiki btw for the 1.2.0 client.
main part is ready. working on the game issues part, simplifying etc

foodlfg

@Podli enable the Fallback Vault Location in the client setting and redownload your mods (somehow).
was it not enabled from the beginning? oO

exceptions? use the latest Proton version and install Vulkan tools etc: https://linuxconfig.org/install-and-test-vulkan-on-linux

Podli

@foodlfg i found the issue. Mods is working, but import from FAF to FA active mods doesn't work. I have to enable mods in lobby manually.

foodlfg

@Podli
ye that one too.

mod dir is here btw:
cd .faforever/user/My\ Games/Gas\ Powered\ Games/Supreme\ Commander\ Forged\ Alliance/mods/

@foodlfg My client insists on JDK11 so had to install it. Ubuntu 20.04.

foodlfg

@LittleMissMurder
yes? what do you want to say with this?
you dont have an old version of java JRE on other distros?

the new 1.2.0 client needs java 14 btw.
i dont know if it is worse news or not. (if you are on Ubuntu 20.04, it is not)

tatsu

JDK (or rather JRE) 11 is still default but you can of course choose which version to install.

foodlfg

well lets simplify this:

sudo apt install openjdk-14-jre
use: 1.2.0 client

left_boy

Gonna release 1.2.0 as soon as I get the motivation to get out of bed XD

left_boy

Or not but soon

BigMamaMurder

@foodlfg It doesn't matter anymore - the new client wants 14

left_boy

yes it does
