No, I think its for this one: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=35461

[impetus maximus]

ok, thanks.

I think it applies to long distance WAN games too, not just LAN. I had submitted this previously: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=34333

I look forward to trying it out with our long distance players.

Sorry about that. It should be there now.

Is it me, or the 0.14.18 was removed from experimental downloads ? I seen it this morning, but unable to see it now.

Is this normal ?

There is no "minimum_latency_in_ticks", but there is "minimum_latency_in_multiplayer". Should I add "minimum_latency_in_ticks", or is this a typo? And if so - which is the correct field name?

Hmm, it seems it is called minimum_latency_in_multiplayer in config.ini and minimum_latency_in_ticks in server-settings.json

server-settings.json is so nice. All those command line options were getting a little crazy.

I wonder if rcon password should be in server-settings? Seems like a holdout. It also gets displayed in the logs since it's a command line switch.

I think the ports and bind address are fine as switches.

edit: does it save faster or am i crazy?

Bugfixes

• Fixed unresearchable gates technology in New hope campaign level 1. (35224)

This isn't the only tech problem in the campaign. The one where you get the partial train setup has advanced electronics 2 as option, but cannot be researched and doesn't do anything if you could. Most likely old solar requirement?
And the last map contains a stretch of "odd" land above the wall of biter nests.


On a side note, I played trough the campaign a few days ago. I initially did it when I was new to the game. And I did it again now that I know everything. Completely different experience. As the campaign is really really bad at explaining the new things. I did manage to wipe the biters off all the maps. I could do a writeup of things that I think that can be improved on this area?
