Patch 3732 - 3735

Rengaruu

Would it be possible to add a very high fidelity LOD graphic setting ?

Especially factories and air transporters look very blocky when you zoom out just a little bit. (it's always been the case).
It's also odd that big transporters simply disappear entireley when you zoom out.

Here is a little comparison between FAF and the Graphicenhancement mod

Other than that the changes look good.
Hopefully one day the ACU will also be able to wrestle itself through T1 engineers.

It seems there is a bug with PDs that can damage your own ACU!
Here is a reply from a 1 player survival game:
https://replay.faforever.com/16678392
At around minute 9, when an ACU is building a second rows of PDs, you can see that the shots of the PD are damaging the ACU and eventually kill it! This behavior was not observed running a game with the old engine and the same game settings.

@MooseMax I'll look into it - thank you for reporting it.

The Yolo appears to be broken. It doesn't kill everything in it's explosion. Normal nukes might be affected to some degree as well. I was nuked and my own nuke launcher somehow barely took any damage. Here's a replay. https://replay.faforever.com/16683256

Yolos occured towards the end, after a massively slow air fight.

I'll look into it. I'll not available for the next four days, so at its earliest would be Tuesday

This is fixed - thank you for reporting it.

Can you try and sandbox this? I have not been able to reproduce it.

@jip I'll give it a shot tonight.

The replay desyncs :sad:

@snagglefox same in our game, see report above

game 6v6 on Tesla Island

Yolona Oss nukes seems to be buggy, first hit at about 44:30min has strange impact and also following nuke hits has strange impact in area of detonation.

Off topic wish: visibility status in lobby (friends or public), because sometimes we don´t recognize this and wait ... but of course, nobody can come

@MarcSpector this may be a nice feature too, for the client

desyncs too. Do you have the logs of the game?

Thanks for the good idea. I also fell for this trap once. I will create the suggestion in the client's repository.

Introduced with #3775, available on the FAF Develop game type. See the graphics options, you have to scroll a tiny bit to see the last one.

It requires:

Fidelity set to High
Shadows set to High (to get improved shadows)
Level of Detail set to High (to get improved LOD)

In case you set in-game, then it applies to the next game.

@jip hello Jip, where can I find the log files? I guess they are somewhere on my pc. Or do you have something before the game, then I don´t have them.

And then find the log that matches your replay id.

@snagglefox found and fixed, see also:

Thank you for reporting it. If you find the time to sandbox the issue with the experimental strategic launcher then it is appreciated .

Here we go. Was able to reproduce the nuke bug.

Was too lazy to clip the video. Just skip towards the end, I nuke rock and the bug occurs. Was able to do it again with another nuke right after the end of the clip.

Interesting - thank you. There are no errors, so I'm not sure why it happens.

edit: yet.
