We noticed that we missed a few contributors in the original list. If you should be on that list and we forgot about you - just contact me and I'll fix it.

An error got through with the PR that got added accidentally to the main branch. You can read about it in this pull request. It will be fixed soon.

There has been a 3rd hotfix: this should be final. It fixes some of the explosion effects and fixes the bug for some wrecks not spawning due to a typo.

Czar no longer has omni - unless that is some coop bug

Ye sorry my bad

Jip · 19 Sept 2021, 21:28

I don't think CZAR ever had omni - @Tagada correct me if I am wrong

keyser · 19 Sept 2021, 21:29

czar doesn't have omni.
also it's only the second hotfix

Jip · 19 Sept 2021, 21:39

Almost a third though! A change with the Scathis slipped in - its packing and unpacking animation is 10x as slow as it should be. I was experimenting with a new animation. Quite literally my mistake .

Fantastic work everyone! What a huge patch!

It broke for me since I launched a 1v1 match while the game appeared to be updating in the background and so now I'm trying to figure out how to fix that haha, but I'm looking forward to trying it

Pretty suspicious links to randomly download but here are the three biggest files from the game patch for Americans taking 2 hours to download the patch.

The other stuff is like 10 MB total so I didn't bother (http://95.216.153.185/gamedatafiles/)

You need to download and paste it into your ProgramData/FAForever/gamedata folder (this is not where your stream forged alliance is located).

It should shave off the vast majority of the download waiting at least. Also these links only work for 7 days.

Advanced strategic icons does not worke properly since this patch.

To be precise, this only seems to affect the symbols for energy and Mass. So the overlay is not working for the following structures:

T1/T2/T3 Mex.
T1/T2/T3 Pgen
Hydrocarbon Power Plant
Energy Storage
T2/T3 Mass Fabricator

I would really like to be able to continue using the overlay as it seems much clearer to me.

Can someone tell me if this can be fixed again?

Jip · 20 Sept 2021, 11:44

We've been hearing about this - we'll look into it. Thank you for reporting it to us and determine what structures are affected.

edit: @Strife If you're interested, you can help out here.

Lenkin · 20 Sept 2021, 12:35

good job

Morax · 20 Sept 2021, 13:52

Looks really good! I hope to have some actual test experience in the coming days but as of yesterday nearly 3 hours elapsed and the download still did not finish for me.

@hoschmosch @Strife
you can transfer the asi icons you use into a personal mod.
This thread (https://forum.faforever.com/topic/2571/how-to-use-different-strategic-icons) explains how to setup the mod.
Then, all you need to do is copy/paste the icons from ASI-installation file "advanced strategic icons.nxt" (usually in FAForever/gamedata) into the mod folder. You can open the .nxt with winrar/7zip. You can also open the icons using e.g. irfanview with a plugin to see whats what.

Hope everyone is enjoying the massive patch. Havnt had time to enjoy the patch with everyone, but it seems like every is loving it!

Strife · 20 Sept 2021, 18:24

@amygdala
Thank's alot, works again!

As announced here I will upload ASI as a normal UI Mod in the Vault if we are allowed to do so.

@HOSCHMOSCH
Guess you can PM me if you need it in the meantime.

Added feature : preselection of mex when selection engineer and hovering the cursor over a mass spot

I don't like this so much. Is there an option to turn it off? It can require an extra click when doing the "assist mex" thing to build storages.

Exselsior · 20 Sept 2021, 20:21

@cyborg16 There’s an option in the in game settings to turn it off.
