Nobody mentioned Sanctuary, yet?

Closest we will get with a remaster I guess.

I like to share my "what I am playing" status in steam. So I do not have to write all my friends, "wanna play with me?" They automatically see what I am doing and may join me if they are excited.

Still, I think such a feature should be optional.
I personally will keep it enabled.

Make very unit able to shoot to ground/air from Transports (Percival Ghettos incoming)

Is there a formula to have an equal and fair recharge rate across factions?

I don't mind if cybran is faster recharging their shields.
UEF has a longer timeout before recharging.
Aeon has a slow recharg but nearly no timeout.
some uniqueness, or so whatever.

But there should be a common ground like "1k HP should take ~30 seconds and has a 5-second cooldown"

Have you tried to disable all mods? You are starting the game with ~36mods, there may be incompatibilities.

To quickly find a mod that crashes your game:
Disable only one half and check if the game still crashes.

• If it does: Further cut the mods in half and disable them again.
• When its running fine: enable half of the disabled mods.
• repeat until you found the corrupted mod.
  This is called a 'binary' search and is the quickest way to find the bug in a big bucket.

Well if I remove the effects.nx2 file and run in offline mode (so the Client does not compare checksums and redownloads the files) it's working like a charm (Haven't played a full match, but I expect graphical glitches)

So my Question is: How do I get a better error message, what exactly went wrong while loading the effects?

Heyho, I recently updated my Linux to Ubuntu 23.04 and now FAF-Client does not launch the game anymore.

Playing via Steam works fine, only when I try to host/watch/ladder a game via FAF the Game instantly crashes. Last (and I guess relevant) log:

info: Compiled shader: /effects/primbatcher.fx
warning: z:\home\%USER%\.faforever\gamedata\effects.nx2\effects\range.fx: unable to create effect: z:\home\%USER%\.faforever\gamedata\effects.nx2\effects\range.fx reason: unknown error

game_19786986.log
client.log

Any helpful suggestions how to debug/fix the problem?

I am using the setup from https://github.com/FAForever/faf-linux

What I have tried so far:

1. Reinstalled FAF and SupCom completely
2. sudo apt install git wget jq cabextract libxcomposite1:amd64 libxcomposite1:i386 libfreetype6:amd64 libfreetype6:i386 tells me everything is installed on lates version.
3. Used protonwrapper 'GE-55' and 'SteamExperimental'
4. Sometimes, it crashes at primbatcher.fx, somtimes at sky.fx but its always in proximitry to range.fx
5. Created a GithubIssue on the FAForever/faf-linux repo

Map was truly wired:
Several Mex and Hydro spot where overlapping

@genos said in Game Crash on Toggle Engineers while they tried to sacrifice:

@Frozen_byte did it crash with an error window or stop responding?

I had T3 and T1 engis selected building a GC.
Ordered the T1 engineers to sacrifice (because enemy T4 was reaaaally close xD)
Pressed TAB to pause while engineers sacrificing into GC.
Was a direct crash to desktop. No freeze.

@genos said in Game Crash on Toggle Engineers while they tried to sacrifice:

I see lots of ui party errors

Do you think those are relevant for the crash?

Title is descriptive enough, I think.

Playing on Linux, but should not matter for this issue I hope.

Active UI mods:

submerge T2 TD and give cybrans T3 TD cloak -kappa

They are built more quickly. When I try to emergency defend something: I build T1 stuff.

In all other points I agree with you T2 > T1 but to think one step further, the HARMS (cyb-T3-troplauncher) is also superior in every way.

I do not exactly understand why this is "unbalanced" in your opinion. https://forum.faforever.com/topic/759/balance-thread-guidelines may help you to clarify this.
