The one piece of advice I can give you is to try to mark game.prefs as read-only; that might prevent the game from editing the file.

Hopefully, there will be someone who can help you more!

Your logs won't be helpful then, the one from his side would be needed.

In the meantime, I suspect he is suffering from XACT errors, so please have a look at the relevant FAQ.

Happy Holidays to you as well, I'm fairly certain that AA stands for Anti Air.

You ever tried ordering a thousand units to move somewhere? They stop and start thinking, may take them several seconds before they start moving again. With 9k units it may take half a minute.

At some points all units on the map (yes, even ACU) become unresponsive and just sit there, ignoring all orders. This happens frequently in campaign maps.

I'm afraid it's an engine limitation.

I like how you added a gif to your report!

No, you also spend mass-̶t̶h̶e̶ c̶o̶s̶t̶ i̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ s̶a̶m̶e̶ a̶s̶ i̶f̶ y̶o̶u̶ w̶e̶r̶e̶ b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ a̶ n̶e̶w̶ s̶h̶i̶e̶l̶d̶.-̶t̶h̶e̶ c̶o̶s̶t̶ i̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ s̶a̶m̶e̶ a̶s̶ i̶f̶ y̶o̶u̶ w̶e̶r̶e̶ b̶u̶i̶l̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ a̶ n̶e̶w̶ s̶h̶i̶e̶l̶d̶.

No, it only repairs the shield while it is up-once it's depleted, you are wasting your bp as it does nothing.

It's related to question 1: the smaller the shield, the cheaper/faster it is to keep it up, but you risk a big shot taking it down before you can even start repairs or that it gets destroyed directly. Cybrans have both the cheapest and most expensive shields, which are generally considered the worst at arty wars if that's what you are asking-Seraphim's ones are instead arguably the best. Still, the ability to sequentially upgrade shields can be useful as it's a quick way to get a shield back up-Aeon used to have t2 shields that couldn't be upgraded (unless my memory fails me) b̶u̶t̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶ w̶a̶s̶ p̶a̶t̶c̶h̶e̶d̶ a̶s̶ a̶ b̶a̶l̶a̶n̶c̶e̶ d̶e̶c̶i̶s̶i̶o̶n̶.

@darkmage72 try here or here.

If it's for personal/offline use, wouldn't modding storages to hold a trillion mass effectively solve the issue?

All things considered, if you are going to the trouble of copying text, alt-tabbing, and pasting text into a google translate page, you might find it more convenient just to use a mobile device to translate the text directly.

No, because many don't know and can't type russian characters

I don't follow. You can already type text into gtrans and then paste it into the game if you need to communicate in a different language.

On mobile it takes text directly from the camera and either shows an on-screen translation or you can take a photo (give it a try if you have never used it-it's pretty neat).

Why wouldn't alien space magic be able to differentiate between friendlies and hostiles?

@saver said in Co-op Feedback:

@deletethis I don't know that the missions can also be played offline. Thanks for the info. This makes certain tests easier.

I cry everytime

I wish the FAQ section could be highlighted more somehow

Yes, these missions are hard.
I'd recommend playing offline so you can save & load and also pause.

But bottom line, if you are hating it, no reason to harm yourself, play something else.

Deribus and Jip, he already said he lowered the difficulty to easy.

@resin_smoker said in AddKills() not so strait forward apparently:

I take it from that statement you've thrown out the veterancy system

Just for reference, FAF isn't using the number of kills for calculating vet but a system based on the amount of damage done and the mass of killed units.

It has always been like this. You need deep water to be safe.

This was already discussed and the idea was scrapped as it was deemed prone to abuse.
