Image presentes MEX zooming.

MEX is presented OK on the two screenshots. While on two others (middle ones) the MEX texture is mixed with the ground (semi-transparent) - should it be that way? For me it is confusing because it might look as if there was no MEX where in fact there is.

Problem solved. I had to:

• manualy delete all FAF files from each user;
• uninstall SC;
• reset the PC;
• start a fresh installation of SC, FAF.

As you can see,

Client updated to 12.3 and than still it thinks it is 12.1.

@magge Can you tell me where are FAF files on Windows stored (in both cases run by user and by admin) - mayby some artefacts left after 12.1 (I ran the game as admin - there was some warrning window).

@magge I did that it did not help. Update. I have a fresh client 12.2. But still game client thinks it is 12.1 and forces me to update to 12.3 - wierd.

@mostlostnoob I cannot start the client, it is in the loop of downloading 12.3 version. No matter if I had installed 12.3. I can start FAF client but than that the message appears that server needs version 12.3, not 12.1 that I supposedly have. I tried to unlinstall FAF but it did not help.

I cannot start game, game version seems to be 12.1 even if I have installed 12.3...

Game is not well balanced, and there is no reason for cheese gameplay (no usable units or ACU features) only standard eco or spamming is worth considering.
To summarize:

• Mavor is way to strong when compared to other T4 end-gamers;
• there is no defense against T2 bomber spam on T2 game phase;
• there are no end-game upgrades for ACU;
• experimentals Megabot and GC ale basically the same;
• since there is T3/T4 artillery why there is no T4 shield? It is hard to defense against 3 x T3 arty fire;
• when playing like 3 vs 3 , if one team build together an end-gamer they will win... joint effort vs non-joint effort should be irrelevant because you play with random people;
• many ACU upgrades are not usable;
• more cool units for more cool tactics are needed (https://supcom2.fandom.com/wiki/Experimental_Units; https://supcom2.fandom.com/wiki/Infinite_War_Battle_Pack_One_DLC)
• units Veteran status needs overhaul - it should be more noticeable.

Please please please add a RPG elements to that game, to extend diversity of a gameplay:

• each player should be able to customize his ACU on: unique Experimentls or Units (some options to choose what they can build, for example UEF player can build Noah Experimental Unit Cannon while other UEF player can build just regular arty but also Super Triton Experimental Dreadnought - it would be so cool);
• specialization like: better mass production, better energy managment, offensive or deffensive stats boosting;
