Welcome back Jip, you know you want to tinker with the engine a bit

Rewrites and RE's ofcourse interesting and probably relevant soon.

Until then:
Some years ago we had a "forced" testing period for more significant changes (maybe it was ICE). For instance test thing X for 3 days, more activity on feedback gathering/analytics, then revert and digest results and decide from that. New releases are kinda that, but this would maybe emphasize more knowingly it is a test and data gathering for the decision making later on.

Another avenue which has been used is the fafdevelop, if a binary patch could used that and more users pushed/incentivized to test that and report feedback, or again analytics in place.

These could always be coordinated with promo team to try pushing people to test and report specific things we are on the lookout.

Awesome work!

I ran it yesterday on linux with latest FAF game files.

Just yesterday there was a post about a whole engine replacement built with rust, have a look around

Impressive, curious for more!

More curious about simulation and netcode
Still interesting.

Does it happen on steam version of the game?
Rename your game.prefs file to e.g. game.backup and try again the FAF version.

If UTC isn't clear enough (perhaps the most universal human readable time indication) then we can always use unix timestamps so everyone has the same second all the time: 1773759478

Also some previous discussions:

Isn't it fun to discover all the debugging done was basically needless, as the client wasn't even designed to get you the game files via offline mode.

Oh wait, you've been trying to offline play this whole time. Perhaps the client doesn't even trigger the "check files for update needs" thing that way

Folder permissions have stumped me and other before, even when you tried to manually fix them. Try to fiddle further with those.
e.g. some individual steps that can be tried:

• Remove C:\ProgramData\FAForever, let it get created again
• Create FAForever\bin yourself
• Run client as administrator (normally one shouldn't, but eh)
• Try the py client: https://github.com/FAForever/client

Change the value in game.prefs file.

@Giebmasse You mean this "Minimum frametime" setting, right?

I played around with it, and noticed/saw/felt no difference with 240 FPS on a 240 HZ monitor. Perhaps when FPS are much lower it will be noticeable, but was too lazy to test that.

Yup that, it was quite choppy for me on the default 16 / 60 fps setting, seemingly same for OP.

There is also the somewhat new fps limit settings in the in-game settings, worth turning that up, defaults to 60 fps which can show off as laggy behavior.
Other than that usually some bad mod or driver/overlay issue then next in turn.

I think this thread has run its course, or rather derailed.

With smaller amount of players the other solutions could've utilized a peer-server-peer type of communication, with the scale of FAF this is not possible without huge expenses/other reworks, so a more demanding solution is required. It isn't always so black and white.

@Skrat said in New account in FAF:

@Giebmasse Im agree with Nuggets. Im not sure why faf privacy is being quoted here. Nobody is asking for personal information.

You are then later asking for moderators to restore erased account data and make it public with some kind of announcement.
