Thanks to the whole team for all the work on this!

Can't believe that it's been 6 months and nobody thought of Gieb!
Not super active these days, but always worth watching.

Mind sharing your solution? Chat regularly disconnects for me for no apparent reason.

ACU TML now has a shallow flight profile for short distances, leading to very short flight times. Combined with the massive damage and splash, it's an extremely powerful tool to snipe enemy ACUs in close combat.

This makes it very exhausting to play against, because the ACU needs to be constantly microed for basically the duration of the game.

In my opinion, reducing damage or flight speed would be an improvement to balance.

I've had many games where some (not all) of the in-game chat messages weren't shown to me. In the replays, they are visible. What could cause this?

You set me on the right path, @macdeffy !

These settings worked for me:

They make the UI blurry, but that's better than frozen.

Can confirm that this is related to Windows-wide UI scaling. When setting the scale to 100% in Settings -> Display, then the bug does not occur.

Every now and then, the Java client UI freezes - I think always after some interaction, e.g. selection a different navigation tab or scrolling.

Grabbing the bottom right corner and resizing the window a few times reliably triggers this issue for me.

After freezing, the UI stays visible but doesn't update anymore. When resizing the window, any additional space is just black.

The UI continues to function though; I can, for example, click the "Show data folder" menu item if I know where to click (despite not seeing it).

In these situations, the only fix is to close and relaunch the client.

Debug logging is enabled but I don't see anything suspicious in client.log.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Of note: This happens on a high-DPI display with Windows UI scale set to 250%.

From the ice-adapter log of a remote peer:

It seems that the missing "SERVER_REFLEXIVE_CANDIDATE" is the issue. Since that's a server-side addition, I wonder how this can differ between clients.

Also, Gieb is still missing.

@Jip In https://replay.faforever.com/15287785 , somebody said that the explosions from UEF T2 Destroyer shots looked like the ones from a battleship. Might apply to UEF T2 PD, too.
