BreakfastBurrito_007 Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 I hope that merc cav are at the sweet spot in balance this alpha. It was really quite sad that they are so OP that they are unplayable in a25, since their gameplay role could be quite interesting and help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â There is a new borderless.fullscreen option in A26, you could try to set it to false. If it doesn't help then highly likely it's not the game issue (maybe SDL). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â There is a new borderless.fullscreen option in A26, you could try to set it to false. If it doesn't help then highly likely it's not the game issue (maybe SDL). I tried setting borderless.fullscreen to false, but it did not solve the problem. I then tested A25b on the same system. It turns out that the problem occurs in that version of 0ad on that system, as well. That system had SDL version 2.0.22 plus distribution modifications. It has been updated to SDL version 2.24. The problem does not seem to occur anymore. Can these be added to the FAQ, please? On another system where the problem did not occur, the version of SDL was version 2.0.14.

Which FAQ do you mean? The FAQ that's here, linked from the front page of the wiki. It would help the wiki updater(s) if we had a link to more details about why SDL is at fault and which version(s) are affected. For the wiki updater(s), the problem description can be something along the lines of, "mouse cursor jumps to a different monitor when scrolling the camera or map". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norse_Harold Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) I see people asking for immediate release of a26 in the lobby. I don't recommend this. I have noticed that professional game developers avoid releasing updates near the weekend. This is wise because it gives time to release a subsequent hotfix in case game-breaking bugs are discovered post-release, something that has happened to even the best developers. It also gives time for server administrators and mod developers to update their areas of responsibility. And, we need to give Linux distribution maintainers time to update their packages of the game. The weekends are the peak gaming times. They are when the lobby has twice as many or more players compared to a weekday. Please don't release just before or during a weekend. However, making a new release candidate this evening would be fine, I think. Edited September 23, 2022 by Norse_Harold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're volunteers. And usually we have more free time during a weekend. So the point isn't so useful for us. 11 minutes ago, Norse_Harold said: And, we need to give Linux distribution maintainers time to update their packages of the game.
