Can you also work on reducing the size of the Environment package as it is too big for in-game downloading when you also download the map with it.

Try restarting the bot. I occasionally lose access to IRC commands but restarting it normally solves the issue.

I recommend using the external launcher and running validate. Once it confirms the files, try loading into a skirmish match. If it loads then try to join a server.

I know Graphic card wise, that shouldn't be an issue I have a Zotac 1080

!mod is short for !modrequest !mods is short for !showmods

The directory refers to the installation location not for in-game downloading. The in-game downloader (by default) is a file storage site that myself and the Devs have access to. The out-of-game server launcher that used the Seeker to download maps used something completely separate to the server directory.

Try closing the launcher fully so no launcher task exists in the background. Then reopen it, and don't click on a server name, but go straight to Verify Game As for the UE3 it appears you manually installed. However in regards to your low frame rate, your specs are fine, I know a few people struggle for some reason with the frame rate, but they are very hard to diagnose the issue causing it. I can only recommend trying all the graphic options in different configurations

Woods, Forest and Uphill were never added to the in-game downloading. I do not plan to add Woods until more changes are made. Forest and Uphill I haven't tested (at least recently) and once I get a chance to test (Prob Next weekend) I will see about adding them if there is no Major issues

I would guess it has something to do with the single node there, possibly a Destination only node. I would need to look to verify.

As a quick question, was this on Islands or Islands_Flying?

They were just additional maps, and suffered from the same occurance issue we currently have

Either way, dropped voting options to 4 and minimum map rotation upped to 10 maps - May increase to 12 over the weekend to give a larger rotation base

Have you managed to fix the ABSURDLY long loading time for shader building on the server?

I know of the issue, it occurs along the back wall line of the infantry path for Nod frequently, but the affected area is small. Just generally avoid that area to prevent the issue. It only occurs on that wall area (normally where the water starts is a problem point even for infantry)

I don't think it will have much benefit in game-play. As it stands it is hard to get into the enemy base and harder still to get a building down. It would also extend gameplay un-necessarily since it requires another building destruction.

Look at the file path it's trying to follow to locate the SDK.

Because no-one complained about using the default amount?

I can always increase the number of maps that must be played before it is offered as an option again Edit: Looking at the Marathon rotation, I can increase map vote limits to 10 matches before they re-appear without issue

I will look at making it available some time tomorrow evening since I have work for today and tomorrow, but @LavaDr4gon should have the ability to collect the demo from the CT server if he wants it earlier

@YagiHige CT records every match on the servers. If people would like to view the Demo I can make it available.

Agent already removed the Launcher downloader, As for the in-game downloader for your comment This should not be an issue if they use the default settings since it linked to the Renegade X CDN, They don't download from the server being joined they download from an FTP server.

Crates determine their content at the time they are picked up, so the content is not determined in-advance, they take a snap shot of the probabilities at the time of pick up and then the content is chosen from the crates that are valid at that time. So for example CT Marathon has a combined (Initial) weight of 3.32 (Sum of all initial weights before modification) assuming all crates are active. The chance of getting a nuke at 00:30 (30 seconds in) Money - 0.45 Nuke - 0.1 Abduction - 0.02 Timed C4 - 0.1 Veterancy - 0.8 [Total Weight = 1.47] At 1 minute in the chance of a nuke appearing in a crate is weighted against the following crates at the following weights Money - 0.45 Character - 0.35 Timed C4 - 0.1 Nuke - 0.1 Abduction - 0.02 Veterancy - 0.8 [Total Weight = 1.82] If you reach the maximum possibilties for crates with all the modifiers, you would have: Money - 1.95 Spy - 1.05 Refill - 0.35 Vehicle - 1.1 Character - 1.1 Speed Crate - 0.45 Timed C4 - 0.1 Nuke - 0.1 Abduction - 0.02 Tib Sun Vehicle - 0.4 Veterancy - 0.8 [Total Weight = 7.42] You can see a large decrease in the percentage of nukes appearing in the crate just 60 seconds in. By 5 minutes you have hit the 3.32 (without building loss modifiers). If my math is correct I think it comes out at ~3% at full weights for 0.1 weight at 5 mins in and ~6.8% per 0.1 at 30 seconds and at maximum weights about ~1.3% If you assume that the average match lasts from 45-60 minutes and you have about 3 crates per minute, That gives you anywhere from 135-180 crates collected. So 6-7 nukes easily can be found in those percentages and time frames, with most of them being in the early game. As for this: I would change that slightly, to only affect the team of the person who picks it up. I feel that some detrimental occurances need to happen, since it is a "Mystery Crate" not a "Power Up/Pure beneficial crate" I agree that nukes are a little heavy handed at the moment, but if you take into account your scenario You should be thinking: "Is there any need for me to collect this crate" If you are on the offense (pushed the enemy back into their base and camping the entrance) the answer should really be no, you have the advantage and while most outcomes are positive, it also has the downside of being potentially catastrophic to your team. Now if the enemy picked it up and they managed to destroy your tank thats almost balanced admittedly they took out something worth twice as much but they still died, and assuming a similar situation (no ref) for the enemy, even though it is a negative outcome (crate), they still managed to achieve a positive outcome from that negative (Cost vs Gain). Personally I feel that crates need a positive and negative side, as it balances out some of the randomness of regular public matches. And most of the time the nukes radius only hits 1/2 people at worst since they tend to be placed in places out of the normal pathing routes (off vehicle paths or to one side).

Bare in mind, that all crates work on Weights given to their probability of occuring on any pickup. However not all crates exist at the start of the map (some only start appearing 2-3+ mins into matches) So you will find that early on, Nukes appear to be far more frequent, despite that overall the weight is around 0.15-0.2, it is just that the other options are not either available or not high enough to occur with as much frequency as is seen, and most crates have an occurrence bonus later in the match when time passes or buildings are lost. Bare in mind also that your crates statistics are quite heavily based on your own visible experience, and many of the crates are "silent" which are ones you generally don't pay attention to. For a quick run down, here is a list of some of the other crates you can encounter Money crates Veterancy points Character change Spy crate Vehicle crates Tib sun vehicle Timed C4 crates Movement speed Refill crates With all of these crate possibilities, you only really see 3-4 of them with visible outcomes (Vehicle Crates, Spies/Character crates and Death Crates) Death crates (Nukes/C4/Abduction/Suicide) are pretty rare when you take the total weights into account (especially at the later points of a match) as they do not increase in probability with time or building destruction.

GDI buying Nod vehicles now?
