I started to play recently, hit slightly above 200 games now.
Things that lean me towards quitting are:
1)no interactive tutorials for build orders and other aspects. AoE2DE for example have pretty good interactive tutorials, much better then FAF. You get comments and instructions while you are doing tutorial rather then "watch and then try to repeat what you just saw". And absolutely no in-game interactive tutorials for late game.
2) toxic community towards new players. It is really hard to find a game when you have 0 rating, at least in NA. Every time I host a game and grey 0 rating player would join in the rest of players would tell me to kick him. This "rating segregation" problem is annoying.
3)Dual gap and astro. I have a feeling that 99% of the games are Dualgap and Astro. Feels like game should have been called SC: Dual gap. And it is hard to compete with someone who played dual gap 100K times.
4)Luck of random maps. This is somewhat related to previous one. It is hard to compete with someone who knows specific build orders.
5)Luck of player base. At least that is a problem for NA. Have to wait full lobby for 30-60 minutes
6) Nobody plays with new content. Srlsy, we have nomads, why nobody play it?

SC have the best RTS mechanics: strategic map, build queue is awesome, physics of unit interaction but some of the above listed drawbacks are in the way

that is the only reason I dont play ladder, ppl simply know all ins and outs of maps, and as a new player I cant compete with that

I play 3v3 cause of mapgen. I don't play 1v1 cause there is no mapgen. Mapgen is fair, I don't have to fight ppl who optimized BO specifically for certain maps

oh sorry your issue with client. Might be a wrong version of java of have. Anyways, we need to see crash log or something, try to start game from terminal and then post here what terminal says

Yes, you can play from linux, but need some adjustment in game settings. The main issue is loading screen, the one with teleportation. As I understand it is a video file and in Linux game crashes when trying to play video, maybe codec incompatibility. I have not solve it but basically you need to replace those videos or delete them so they never play

Mangen is where the true skill is. Read the map and identify what to do when and where. To bad faf felt in to static map disease. Some games like AoE2 competitive play is only mapgen.

ok it getting complicated in terms of copyright and sht, I only started to do this cause I had problems with icons. All I did replaced icons in Penguins mod with ASI icons. I solved icons for myself it is very easy. If anyone need I can share mods folders with different sizes of icons

or we need to redo all icons?

@sheikah oh copyright? so author have to publish it? I can share folder with him through google drive or something

Ok I published them

Ok, I have converted everything, how do I publish a mod?

@giebmasse yep I used the same
