      New player to FAF here, after going through the entirety of the Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance campaigns. Getting used to FAF is a bit harder than I thought it would be, for a couple of reasons:

      1. The default behavior of units is set to "attack ground", which trips me up whenever I order an attack and everyone just ends up attacking the ground. I can set the behavior back to Return Fire sure, but it's kind of annoying that I have to reset it to the "normal" behavior instead of it being the default like originally.
      2. CTRL+move no longer seems to perform the formation move command, i.e. where every unit slowly moves in a perfectly ordered formation towards the destination at the same speed when they're already ordered in a formation and moving in a straight line. Now units kind of scatter for a bit before moving, or one part speeds up more than another part, breaking the formation entirely. I miss my perfect intimidating phalanxes slowly moving towards the enemy.

      Can anyone provide any help with the above?

        It was removed on demand.
