      The version is not yet released. You can find the preview here. On the other hand it might already be released by the time you are reading this.

      I am gonna quickly interduce new features:

      • Client warns if you try to close it while FA is running

      • Hide the chat user list

      • See description of game featured mods

      • Client can cache multiple versions of featured mods, so you don't need to redownload everything after you watched an old replay. Needs to be activated in the settings for now

      • Client shows why games are not rated:

      • The m&m map picks are rotated

      • Admins can broadcast messages via the client

      • Client short cut is called FAF Client

      • Maps added to the map folder are automatically detected during runtime and added.

      • Lots of bug fixes

      • Client adds support to broadcast rating limits via server:

        You can add min/max rating and also enforce it. If enforced the game is only shown to players that match the rating boundaries. If not enforced only a warning is shown to players that do not match the boundaries.

        See the video how to use it.

      Read the changelog for more information.

      Soon™️

                    Games just have to be running the main faf game mode with simulation mod.

                        Can we have some optimization for java-client ?
                        Python client did not even take any cpu cycles, java one seems to constantly eat 20-25% of cpu.
                        I am pretty certain it has code like "while(true) {sleep(ms); dosomestuff();}" instead of epoll_wait or something similar.
