Update:
the "new" way to communicate to the server is done, in other terms: we can start fixing the clan-pages
first will be "show all clans" and "show single clan", after that is released we take a break and look if the other pages are even worth to "fix" or just refactor them completely.

Example:

1. Clan invitations are invalidated on server restart (that will happen often in the next time)
2. The code is not testable, so we have to check it manually every time, or miss if something breaks.
3. complicated to maintain due old code that can't be understand easily
4. error-management -> some errors are not show to the user (invite did not work etc.)
5. some feature wishes that would help the clan experience

this is a hard decision, but i think "refactoring" so it can be used and maintained is better than "just" quick-fix it.
If there is someone, who is willing to quick-fix it, pull-request on the repository are welcome (you can also ping me in discord if you need help)

Looking at the current situation, i think clan invite/kick will be available in about 7 days, but don't hate me if not.

Update: Lists and View are working again

Since this issue pops up every now and then:

Thx for the Post Mortem!

What i would suggest:

1. Make "critical" changes when you guys have time to monitor/support, even if that means ppl cannot play (once a week to balance it out?)
   -- There is always something that needs attentions after an update

2. It would be nice if we got any info about the current state (Discord), some players could start games where others could not and nobody was saying "we know about issues and we are on it, we will post an update in x hours"

3. Give the http-client a lil love, it's creating so many issues if the server is not responding/behaving as expected.

• noticed that when the replay server was not available, it crashed the client bc. of an unhandled exception.

PS: You guys still looking for support to migrate?

@Immortal-D released a test-version for the new clan management on https://www.faforever.xyz/
you and your friends could test it there (usernames are the same and PW for all accounts is "foo")
would be nice if you could give me some feedback and maybe find bugs.

we will likely release to prod tomorrow, so you can invite members during the WE.
let me know if there are any issues if you do so.
