  1. Speaking as Staff for FPI:

    We have a beacon limit in place.

    You need at Least 20 Players before you can place beacons. As 3v2 and someone plants a beacon you have very little chance of getting to it. (If this isn't working as intended id like to know)

    We also tried to limit commander powers but didn't have much luck getting the balance right (caused some other problems too), so i don't really have a strong opinion on this subject. @TomUjainMight be able to give more info as he decides the rules for FPI.

    Also speaking for playing on all servers. You are right some people wont play by any sort of gentleman agreement when people say "dont attack/kill buildings till its 10v10". Not sure what the devs can do to solve that. Any ideas?

    yes! we need new bots names. Many of the bot names are inside jokes from like 10+ years ago lol

    Its easy to change their names just give me a list. FPI/EKT used to have our own names but i guess after a patch i never edited them again.

  3. Have you done some basic hardware tests?

    You can use HDD Sentinel to check the smart stats on your hdd https://www.hdsentinel.com/download.php

    Id also run a memtest and run furmark. If these all pass then we can be reasonably sure your pc is working alright.

    As for the RenX install are you installing it in the default location? Personally I find i have less issues if i install it to a folder with no spaces in it like C:\RenX.

    Can you try above and if you still get odd errors with the installer give us the launcher log?

  4. Would be good if you are actually repairing damage it marked you as still active.

    As for the setting for FPI as Tom mentions the complaints about AFK are too damn high and something needed to be done.

    We started actually policing this manually at peak times but people still kept coming back and idling or giving us abuse for it. So really enabling the auto kick was the logical next step.

    Im open to other options and/or fixes as im sure the devs are.

    I appreciate the kind words from @MintLemonade but nobody is perfect and I used to have quite the toxic side as well in the community.  FPI (the artist formerly known as EKT) and I have definitely had a rough patch in the past and most of it was my fault unfortunately.  Renegade-X has a very unique community and I had found that investing too much time had caused me to get very burnt out and get frustrated at things that I really should not have been.

    I was originally of the opinion that team switching should be allowed so that friends can play together but I've now been swayed and agree that even just a small group of veteran players can dictate the entire outcome of a game.  I understand what FPI is trying to accomplish and I can see why it has caused a rift in the community.  Even with disabling team switching though, there are clever ways to still manage to end up on the same team and even without players switching, teams can end up lopsided. 

    I don't really have any suggestions for how to fix the team stacking issue but if I could offer one piece of advice it would be this: If you're getting burnt out and frustrated with Renegade-X, take a bit of time off and come back with a fresh outlook.  It really can make a big difference. 

    PS: I'd also like to formally apologize to @Goku , @Skeeze , @ObeliskTheTormentor and many others from EKT/TmX back in the day.  I was very burnt out and it had a toxic effect on the community. 

     

    I wish you all the best of luck!

     

     

    I was surprised at the apology and I'm not saying all is forgiven but I do appreciate it and do hope we can all work towards a better Renegade for everyone and get some more fresh meat to boink.

    On topic, we have taken steps towards helping to fix the AFK problem. Handepsilon has made some changes to the AFK system that if it works as expected it should be in the new patch and also FPI has taken the AFK issue more seriously and will take our own steps to help in this regard (Including logging people who get AFK kicked so serial AFK people can be punished).

    If you have suggestions for FPI/EKT to improve things or steps we can take etc then please pm me or Jenzuj/SaintPepe.jpg or Tom/Yumi on Discord and we will discuss it internally.

    In their own way, I think everyone here would like a better renegade for everyone!

  6. The maps could be fixed reasonably easily. I will increase the excluded map size on the FPI server. But I'm against taking too much choice away from players.

    If the majority of players vote for those maps they must like them. Personally, I like Volcano but it hardly gets voted for.

    Point 1 and 6, you code a mutator for it ill be happy to trial it on the Test server for peoples opinions.

    I don't really have a strong opinion either way about the other points.
