Yeah, would be happy to test out: I'm New Zealand so, I might be useful for latency testing.

Looks like you did your homework! One of the devs will have to taker a look.

@QuantumTyphoon comparing 2007 to now O.o client and network code was different then FaF is different

A lot of trajectories will fail in the situation that you describe in the screenshot. The behavior of all tactical missiles were re-designed two years ago. The behavior of Aeon tactical missiles is to fly relatively low to allow it to 'dive' towards the target. I suppose it doesn't quite work here, but the situation is rather unique in my humble opinion. I suppose some values can be tweaked slightly, such as to allow it to move vertical slightly longer. For your idea, these are the outlines of the different behaviors of each faction: Cybran missiles: split behavior. Seraphim missiles: faster in general and slows down upon reaching impact. UEF missiles: high arc and usually more health. Aeon missiles: (relative) low arc, wiggle behavior and usually more health.

[image: 1759322920723-attack-vectors-dnsfragment.jpg] Since I play via my own vpn, i can see what is attacking me when I play faf. Attack type: UDP DNS Fragment Flood Source ports: Variable high ports (commonly around 40000) Destination port: UDP 53 (DNS) Always relatively short (but enough to ruin a match). And no, nothing else runs on this server, and I only ever use it when I play faf.

@Sturmgewehr said in Current connection problems (Preferred Coturns for ICE): Are they all self-hosted except for GLOBAL? So the servers at Hetzner like Germany 1 or Finland? Yes. All coturn servers except global are self hosted. Global can be either Xirsys or Cloudflare depending on our configuration right now. @Sturmgewehr said in Current connection problems (Preferred Coturns for ICE): During a test (as host -> lobby) I once tried to block all coturn server connections locally (firewall), so that players can only connect directly to me, to roughly understand how much delay / lag / connection problems coturn servers generate. Couldn't do this though, as once I blocked all coturn servers, I couldn't create a lobby or join other lobbies (tried this several times and with very few players in them to exclude any existing coturn server connections). I wonder if this is a bug in the software and it is never assumed here that there are simply no coturn servers? Yes, blocking all coturns for FAF is not a smart move The ICE protocol requires coturn. If you block all coturns the ICE adapter can only gather your local ip addresses. Since everybody uses a router in between, this will never reveal your public ip to others. And even if it could, it would still be required for hole-punching (you send data out on the port, so your firewall accepts incoming traffic on that port). Btw: No match worked yesterday. But since the coturn servers Finland is no longer in the list (off?), it works quite well. Coincidence. I cannot recommend Hetzner for DDoS protection. Yes I am quite pissed at Hetzner right now. It's not just their lack of DDoS handlng, is also there basically useless hardware firewall setup from the 90s. You can setup exactly 10 rules and each rule only takes on ip-range. That is not even sufficient to whitelist all cloudflare ip addresses. I have personally had the best experience with OVH. FAF used to run on OVH at the very beginning. It was very unreliable. Also we are talking about the one company that had a whole datacenter burn down so far. Hetzner has incredible good pricing for dedicated machines. But the rest slowly goes to shit.

I think it is an engine issue.

I started my FAF career as a -700 after a half dozen games. It was pretty scary but didn't take long to turn it around. I would argue that people who quit FAF after losing their first half dozen or so games didn't really have their heart in it and were going to quit whether their rank said -700 or 300 after such a stretch.

I use them, but I almost never want to build t2 arti with them (t2 arti generally are very weak), and when I build t2 arti I no longer bother with t1 pgen adjacency (even if im building with t2 engineers) as I usually have better things to focus on than the small efficiency boost provided. One (admittedly more niche) scenario I regularly use them for is if I inherit a uef t1-t2 base as I can queue up a few sparkies and use them as a low apm way of holding the line, with a much greater tolerance than if I used t2 engis (who die easily if misjudging how quickly the enemy will start to arrive when trying to get the first couple of t2 pd, and can’t be used as aggressively)

I'd like the fatboy be given the ability to go into turret mode, + shield radius/points but make it immobile.
