Also after meeting up with some people I learned about all the micro stuff you have to do with your commander in order to remain competitive. Such as move your commander to a spot before selecting to build something so that it's in range. Moving units to dodge artillery. Same for subs. Personally I don't like any aspect of micro stuff, I feel like it should be automated. Why can't the com get just close enough to build something, why is the default to walk right up to it? idk but to me the micro aspects of the game don't add to the fun.

I probably can't help at all, but I'm close to finishing a PhD in cybersecurity and part of my research that we ended up not publishing was on low cost DDOS shuffling algorithms. Purely out of curiosity, is there a forum somewhere detailing these issues?

I've opened an issue for this. I believe I've identified the two bugs that cause this issue and how to fix them, but I'm not a game dev so hopefully someone else can tackle this at some point (thanks again for the volunteer work). Link here:

"Exceptions to firewall have been added." this is likely the culprit. Turn the firewall off completely and try again. If you succeed, it's a firewall issue.

TY!

ah gotcha makes sense regarding the micro. As far as balance changes, ya I'm not sure where that list is?

Thanks, ya no worries if you guys got other stuff going on, was hoping it would be a quick one

haven't played that many RTS games, makes sense

confirmed no mods, played another game, same error. Idk how to attach another log file but it's the same error as the one above. I even redownloaded and installed the game from scratch. (I attached the log file to the og post)

The game I was playing didn't have mods if I remember properly, and I am using linux (ubuntu 22.04). I'll play another game today though just in case to check.
