2010-09-12: Version 2.3.5_RC4

General
  • Fix: Possible crash when designing units (r11630, #2150)
Multiplayer
  • Change: Display no-tank, no-cyborg or no-VTOL icons if the relevant factories are disabled via limits (r11633)
  • Fix: Make sure new players are shown immediately (r11650, #2136)
  • Fix: Lobby tooltip display (r11647, #2157)
  • Update Rebalance 0.8.3: (r11635)
    * Weaken Flak Cannon and Sunburst a lot more. I'm pretty sure this change makes them too weak, but when introducing new weapons it's better to make them too weak than too strong.
    * Increase HP of a bunch of VTOL weapons
    * Remove VTOL Flak Cannon
    * Slightly buff Hurricane/Whirlwind

Huge problem, the mac build cannot connect to online games of the same version. I have created a ticket.

i think before you release it you should try to get rid of the low fps bug, twice now i have gone down to 3-5 fps for long periods of time which makes it impossible to play/build/produce.

I'm pretty sure that's the mitigation condition for lag. Were you hosting? That's probably what happens where the game used to freeze entirely. We're still working on that - the low FPS is just an artifact of the workaround we're using to prevent the freeze.

I thought it was something like a side effect of the freeze thing being prevented, both times i was not hosting first game i got it was about 8 min in with small bursts of low fps then it gradually got lower, and went back to normal after about 20 minutes.

Second time it was about 2:30 into the game i got 3-5fps for around 30 minutes every now and then it jumped up then went back down all the way until 3 and a half hours when the game ended.

Unless you have a kick-ass machine, then the more units you see the slower the game will get.
This is another reason why the unit cap is too large...
WZ does everything with brute force, that is why you should have a host with a very good machine.

As long as *everyone* is getting the same fps, then it still should be OK, but, if not, then the game will get so out of sync, it isn't funny.

If the host is going at 45 fps, and your hitting 3, then the amount of messages waiting to be processed is huge, and your gonna kill the host sooner or later.

As Zarel mentioned, we are working on the network side of things to prevent the host from 'freezing' because of socket issues... but it won't be in 2.3.5 though.

As you already noticed, it's a "concept"! ;)

I might be in the game in a few years... ;) At least I hope it will be in, as fast as possible, but IIRC Beta Widget had something to do with it to be implemented...
