did you remember to run forged alliance without faf to set your preferences? (name and resolution etc)
you could probably import your preferences from your old pc, which would keep your hotkeys and templates

could be network (use ethernet not wifi)
could be internet (is CGNAT turned off at isp? it should be)
could be slow cpu
most likely one of those, maybe some other unusual thing

if you are good at a game that means you probably understand it
lower rated dudes should ask for advice

nice one blackheart, the only sensible post in this whole thread. the area reclaim idea has been played with at least once in the dim past already and rejected

hi man, faf game state refreshes every 500ms, so as long as ping is 499 or below there will be no discernible difference to a ping of 1, if packets are lost (wifi or netwok problems of some kind) then there will be lag. (i am assuming there is no cpu lag here as well)
i would troubleshoot by making sure any av software is definitely allowing faf, (or not use real-time protection), temporarily disable windows update, get the phones off you network, make sure no other programs are using your connection, all other possibilities must be eliminated.

there is a box to tick in settings if you want to be notified of pre-releases

i heard there are ppl here 60+

feeling much better now with v2024.1.0-alpha-1, thank you very much Sheikah45

despite using 15% of my cpu and 1gb of ram this version is not working well, it becomes unresponsive after 1 or 2 mins, the chat list is still broken in 2 (a-z and then a-z again) and the live replay filters are still not keeping their settings.
it's making me sad

arc

all the v12 alphas have this problem

v2023.12.0-alpha-3 loses live replay filter settings after changing tabs

the live replay tab no longer retains its filter settings when you switch from that tab and then back.
while on the subject of filter settings, would it be possible for the live replay tab to retain its settings from session to session, like the custom game lobby does?

just select stereo at 44.1 k and 16 bit

dude, 5.1 and 7.1 are surround

https://forum.faforever.com/topic/6240/new-client-2023-6-0

the client window not being "captured" by the mouse cursor glitch is an old one, i use my client minimized a bit so i can have a browser open next to it (equal sizes 1920x1080), if i stretch the client a small amount then i can grab the title bar and move the client around, however if i stretch it too much little squares of desktop wallpaper show up in the client window, this has been happening for a long time (more than a year?). There is another possible w7 glitch where the chat list is broken into halves, so i have some guys A-Z, and then another bunch of guys also A-Z, and then the chat only guys, this goes back to about client version 23, but i'm not too worried about either of these glitches tbh

ofc that's a yes to testing if needed

the alpha client works fine and the line -XX:+UseG1GC is there

Awesome, thank you very much Sheikah
