@blackyps Would any of these desync issues appear in a replay out did it only happen in live games? Can we build a CI-pipeline on old repos? @draiget does this for the reverse engineering development somehow.

We now have desync tracking in the lobby server, so this could be used as alarm tracking after patches. But that would basically require more releases / smaller changes per patch.

We had rented a global 3rd party TURN relay service. It got maliciously abused and we had to disable. The costs went from 100$ to 600$ per month.

Since you referenced my pull request: it was never done to be able to actually play with it. I just need it to run the client and test FAF things while I mostly use a macbook

I 100% want to make this open source, no worries, I just want a bit more time, as I'm well aware that open sourcing it will open the floor gates. I would also be interested in how this can be transferred over to the faf team as well. I do believe this has real merit to replace the base engine. it already demonstrates a large amount of the game working, and absolutely has the nuts and bolts to go all the way.

You can transfer the repository to the FAForever project and still remain the repo admin. It could also be a private repository if you are worried about cheats etc.

I suggest you contact us in our https://faforever.zulipchat.com, so we can discuss options.

Well I ususally say pics or didn't happen. But in this case I'd rather say code or didn't happen

Does your engine run the lua code for the game patch?

For further explanation: the game doesn't have a concept of mod versions. This ever new version needs to have a different uid, otherwise it could not pick an old mod version for replays while keeping the new version for playing.

No. As long as we do not separate account names and display names this is not possible.

Rewrite = compatibility to all existing lua game code? And also map, mod, textures and model compatibility?

Also Repo url or didn't happen!

I think it's quite common. On average you lose 50% of your games in PvP. Not everybody likes that.

You don't need to play PvP. Just open a lobby vs xAI and find some people wanting the same. For some reason people are usually to lazy to host a lobby but would join a game quite fast.

Just for the record: I did nothing. Lot of connection problems appear out of nothing and disappear after a while

Repeated consistent handshake problems are not a project issue. You haven't even reached the project servers, your computer can negotiate encryption with Cloudflare.

I assume you are from Russia? Then it's sure to your countries efforts to restrict the internet access.

The reset password via steam flow works without you knowing your email

It doesn't exist. Technically it's possible but unlikely to find someone to do it.

@ZOMEBODY This is not a new issue. The error message pins down the problem exactly.

I highly doubt that zip compression has magically improved recently.

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "rundll32": CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation

You have some weird Windows issue, that the process claims it needs more permissions (admin permissions) to run the windows core dll to open the browser.

There is a potential threat where people upload a malicious zip file that is only a few kb small, but unpacked a few gigabytes. Your file seems to have a similar compressed<->uncompressed ratio, which triggers the error you quoted. This can usually only happen on maps that are basically empty, flat terrain and have no textures. Add some more content to your map and the error should go away.

Dear commanders,

over the years, memory usage of the FAF client was regular subject of complaints. We worked hard to figure memory leaks and reduce memory usage. Our maintainer assumes, that memory issues >1GB are a thing of the past. But I am not convinced yet. Thus, we need more data and feedback.

Therefore I challenge you: Send me your worst RAM usages images from your task managers. Minimum requirement is it's from version >= 2026.4.0

Thank you!

Also it's not that "I need it", I don't have access to the mod client. But I know a couple of folks, who usually come with the pools, have complained about the lack of options in the past.

I was under the assumption you have access. Then just forward my message to the people complaining please.

Raise a feature request in the github repo then and explain what you need. Nothing will be done if a feature request only exists in someone's head...
