@dorset said in Setons Opti Ballancing:
Wouldn't it be better for the lowest rank players to battle it out on air and have a slower building air game while the higher ranked players held the front line arc created by the other three positions?
It seems like that, but in actual fact- recovering a broken front is MUCH easier than a broken air.
Thanks for the replies guys! Perhaps I was wrong..
Maybe the ones that are the most memorable are those with bad air... gg
Suggestion- after winning team beats others they fight each other. Can only be 1 King.
I've noted in the last while (mb last year) that opti-mirror balance is consistently putting low rated players on the air slot when populating the positions. It seems intentional - given how frequently the lowest gets put on air.
Can this bias be shifted to front or beach?
Am I wrong? Just seems to common for it to be blind luck.
Will this change if I select "Odd vs Even" or "Top vs Bottom" etc?
Sat scaling is the main thing that really makes them hard to manage.
What if they had a power drain as a limiting factor-? This isn't a major change, just a response to scaling.
Won't break the unit, won't make it unviable, just respond to scaling issue.
@liam_ how would that be OP?
I like the idea. Feels symmetrical abit since UEF and Cybran have sort of a rivalry and Sparkies would be very useful.
But they already do Jamming so maybe too much so?
Thank you @Katharsas @Uveso and @Jip so far I've not had any crashes provided I have nothing else open. This probably confirms what Katharsas was saying in that maybe my computer can't handle FAF + x.
It's probably time for a new computer just holding on to the nostalgia tower abit longer.
@Jip Thank you. Do you want all log folder data or just the file (game_17825107.txt)?
On the old forums with Downlords' Client, there were (3) things they asked for and I used to be able to upload right onto the forum. (eg https://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18934 )
Would you prefer an online hosting service(like FileBin) with me posting a link here? Or is there button I don't yet have access to allowing upload on this forum?
I'm sorry to ask all these noob questions- but when I was looking for a Sticky Thread with instructions, I didnt see one.
@Jip Crashed again. What files and how do I upload them to you/this post?
Thank you kind sir. I've enabled it and went next crash occurs, will be back to this thread with logs.
Much appreciated!
Where do should I start troubleshooting complete game + computer crashes. Entire computer freezes up, does the low pitched buzz sound, and power cycle reset is needed to fix. No blue screen, just stops.
Three times so far...
Using:
@Printer Had the same thing occur recently. Got notification NVIDA control wasn't installed independently of FAF so-
I'll try the UI mod, and reinstalling NVIDA.
Was in the middle of a match and entire screen froze. Seemed to lock-up entire computer so had to restart.
Went to FAF folder, copied: iceAdapterLogs folder (not attached, do you need?), client.txt, client.log.2020-12-27.0.gz, and game_(the one it happened in) and have attached here.
It happened a day ago but I figured it was because I'd reinstalled but to a SSD, and so I moved the game files to slower drive. So now that it's happened again- any advice how to fix this?
What about the suggestion about incorporating diminishing returns? Did I miss a response to that suggestion?
Seems like that would be easy to tune by the balance team and keeping RAS SCUs useful.
@Brutus5000 Just realized what you probably meant was to go to download the latest release .zip file from Git-hub, and extract to a local directory. 100% working thanks.
@Brutus5000 Thanks. So far no success. Tried running as an invoker but still stopped before even choosing the directory to install.
I wonder if UAC forces admin privilege check no matter what. Other programs still install ok without admin.
@LittleBoyBennis said in The Last Thread about RAS SACU Balance:
This is not dealing with their fundamental problem: the combination of power and mass generation which removes the need to protect either generation in lategame, and their overall currently underpriced value proposition, they are too good for their cost (the little bp nerf doesnt cut it)
Would introducing diminishing returns mechanic make this viable?
Say first (5) SACUs are 100%, next (1) 125%, next 150%, etc cost? The 10th SACU would be 225% more (15k mass) which would be very cost prohibitive. Lore wise, that also makes sense as it's supposedly a human in each one...
What of the Quantum gate? If SACUs are nerfed, kinda makes them useless. I saw one mod YEARS ago that turned them into Nydus Canal like structures or very rapid T3 factories... ...just saying if nerfed too much- what's the point of the QG?
Only 1100, sooo just some noob thoughts. Also...youtube vid of awesome gate mechanic
I'm wanting to install FAF on two computers I don't have administrator access to. Is it possible to install Downlord's client without admin rights to the OS?
Other info:
There's (2) computers in-question, (not sure it makes a difference) one has Win 7 still, the other Win 10. Steam is installed. I haven't tried yet, just wondering in advance of the weekend when I'd like to be playing.
