    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

    • RE: Everything lags and stutters

      @Jip @magge
      I have tried making a short recording. Here is the video.

      I used the default settings for prioritizing recording, but the video quality stutters much worse, so I doubt you can see what I saw 😞 I looked around for what to do but I am not knowledgeable enough to play around with recording, encoding, playback, etc. timings settings, which seems to be the cause for the super-jumpy playback.
      I have only changed the resolution from 300 * something so the playback is not just a canvas-full of colorful blur.

      @Eternal Thank you for the suggestion. 🙂
      I will see what I can get once my finances stabilize enough.

      @magge said in Everything lags and stutters:

      Can you record a few seconds to show us the lag?

      I'll try as soon as I have some time (latest sometime Tuesday). What recorder should I use and where should I send/ attach the recording, here?

    • Everything lags and stutters

      I was away from FAF since the first Steam link requirement. Now I tried and succeeded setting up FAF with GOG. 🤤 ☺

      The issue:
      Everything lags. Some things more than others. Some things lag/stutter more than last time I tried playing some years ago.

      • 1st, the client app, it's all right, I guess. No worse than trying to use the modern gmail webapp. Though, I can't fathom what could the client app possibly need so much system resources for.

      • 2nd, the game lobby, it takes several seconds longer to load than vanilla (which already takes a bit). I thought FAF's less flashy lobby UI would need less draining. But I guess this stems mostly from the game's underlying inefficiencies.

      • 3rd, the in game lag and occasional stutter is noticeably worse than vanilla's, especially the in-game UI - for example if, on a factory I press a unit build button (eg. an Engineer) multiple times in quick succession, about every second or third press is ignored, unlike in the game's vanilla version.

      I already run the game on nearly the lowest video settings (the only thing I'm not compromising on is running full screen). I've ran through the forums and the mod vault but at a glance I haven't found anything that would make a noticeable difference.

      Although my system is rather old (was barely middle end in 2010), it can run vanilla FA even with mods just fine with little to no lag (mostly the main menu & lobby stutters a bit). I have no idea what to try.

    • RE: [Discontinued] Ethereal FAF Client 1.0

      Being able to connect again without Steam would be nice. Steam's cancer, plus already got the game form GOG.
