i played a lot 1v1 ladder back in time. its the supreme discipline and i loved it. i stopped it someday for a very banal reason. i was getting slower and slower. the age u know. so it wasnt anymore about strategy it starts to get all about execution.

How viable would it be to have AI opponents at low mmr levels on ladder?

why in the world would u have ai's on ladder? in a ladder? the whole existence is to compare yourself with other human beings.

go further and let an ai play for u against an ai. so u have no stress anymore.
welcome to robowars.

that "fear" what ever that is, u have in every competative game. Like someone here said. its an ego thing. uhhh what if i lose? then i am worthless or what. i lost so many games and i just get pissed if did something very stupid.

Main draw of using ai for ladder is in the case that people can’t get a game at lower levels. You only have so much to make a decent impression and if somebody thinks ladder is super dead they might just give up on the idea of queueing entirely. An ai matchup in such cases would be an additional variable in the everpresent question of “no game” vs “a game.” Since lower rated (500ish) players play about as well as some of the best faf AIs, it doesn’t really seem like a waste of their time if you put yourself in their shoes as a guy looking for a quick, engaging game.

i understand that. but anyway filling the ladder with ai to make it more viable seems the wrong way. there r many reasons above u can work on. mappool. presenting ladder more fun. it has to be places on the startscreen. faf generally is so depressend designed. make it fun, make it futuric. name some ladderplayers. give them avatars. let them archive something. and the most "i quit ladder" rteason is for sure the behavior. no glhf no gg. absolute basic stuff in online gaming.

Age not really playing into the equation here.

say that again when u get 40

i'm 42. so every game is some kind of a derust game

I see. The thing is, not too long ago, things were going really well. 3v3 is certainly also enjoyable. The beauty of it is that you can play what you like. However, Supreme Commander stands for large-scale battles, and that's what a whole series of players enjoy, and what sets Supreme Commander apart from other games. But that's nothing new.

Let's hope that the issue will be resolved quickly.

dont you relize ? they give a shit. the unspoken reason y ppl leave faf is faf.

Advanced Strategic Icons (ASI) will not return using the setup that it did.

nice.. well its just the look and feel of the game but hey..

first things first.. thx for the work guys.

maybe i need more games to get used to the new patch. 90 % is great and make sence. but messing with the buildpower means u lose every feeling for timings. its not like u make diffent things with old tools. its more that u have diffrent tool now. i am not a fan of that.

Do they changed anything ?
Normaly if i support my shields with hives they recharge fast till the energy is full restored. (if u have the recources) Now its a strange behavour. They recharge just till 70 % or so. or they dont recharge till u klick again and then it jumps from 40 to 80 % for example.

Is that just me ?

I had that serveral games but i ignored it. but now it starts to nerv.

Yeah, that's really strange. Yesterday, I had this update screen after I hosted a new game. Right after that, all settings were reset to default.

I just noticed that I have a game.pref BAD file and a TEMP file from yesterday next to the actual pref file. So, I just copied everything from the temp file into the pref file, and now everything is back to normal. I can also rotate the templates with the mouse again, even though the option isn't in the settings. ... I don't really get it all

it was not the client. it was a hotfix for the game.

I also had to notice that I only have very few options in the game settings. Normally, the list is longer. For example, I miss the option to rotate building templates with the mouse's middle wheel.

Hi @ all,

after the Update yesterday all my settings r gone. mods, keybindinds, templates... everything. i dont understnad why and how i can restore them.

@thewreck u nailed it

works. thx

i tried it for a couple of minuts till i didnt find a way to select naval over everything like it was in the the old mod.

@amygdala
Your post was very useful. i did it via configfile. it works now. thx

i tryed to enable it with a hotkey but it changes nothing. there isnt even an info if it is enable or not. but i pressed it annyway but no luck. i gave also the domains a key and tryed every possible combination.

It dont work properly. It still selects ground units with airunits.
is ther maybe also a working version somewhere witch is not avaible in the voault ?
