We need a v95 autohost so we can test it...

And need Benchmarks vs old engines too to test performance...

Make sure you have LogFlush=0 if you want to try bleeding edge or 95.0... engine default is 1 and it causes uber low FPS

It might be a bit late to "prevent another 94" if it's already rolling out...

Well it's most certainly not as bad as 94 or 94.1, the worst bugs have been squished, but performance is definitely still worse then 91.0

Pathing, less bomber related bugs, static builds for linux. There is a much faster version of the UI framework in development which requires 95.0.

Upload the replays and give the coordinates of each of those problems. Map coordinates can be seen by holding down space and mousing over the map. Don't forget time.

I happen to already have the replay for the first game.
  • There is already a workaround for the bouncing commander bug.
  • DinoCzar spent the entire game whining about the pathfinding because he had Vehicles which "went the long way around" when he told them to go into craters on MoonQ20X. The pathfinding was actually very impressive, they managed to find the slightly less steep parts of the crater walls, dive around on the rim and them drive down into the crater itself using a very small area of less steep wall.
  • The Athena thing looks quite easy to workaround. The engine always has these small bugs which we have the patch with lua. The difference is that the previous engine mostly has these flaws patched.

I can't parse "Ravager - didnt move on the target way...".

Killer is right i went through 2 hours of troble shooting just to find out nothing is wroung with my Pc. my problem is when i would start a game it will all load fine until i get the intalizing pathcache that wen u haft to wait for 2-5 mins then when u finally enter a game ur kicked for inactivity. and befor the 2-5min wait u would haer the "Commad Consle Activated" but it still stays the same for the next 5 mins. Then when it finally shows u the game u cant do anything but catch up

http://springrts.com/wiki/Springsettings.cfg#LogFlush
"Instantly write to the logfile, use only for debugging as it will cause a slowdown"
Instant writing vs buffered (delayed) writting of infolog.
LogFlush=0 can be annoying for testing: for example you see a lua wupget fail, alt-tab to open infolog.txt but the errors have not been written (yet).
On crash the infolog can sometimes be incomplete.
http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2796
With LogFlush=1 infolog is written instantly but in case of textspam (chat or error messages or messages that are not shown in ingame chat) it is slower.

tl;dr
=0 for playing
=1 for testing, esp if crashing

It should only take that long the very first time.
If it happens often:
"Switching between engine versions causes long startup times"
http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=29070
As I understand the reason is that you have multiple spring versions installed and they use different folders for maps/games/rapid-pool. Then spring will rebuild its cache on start.
By making sure all spring versions use the same folder for maps/games/rapid-pool, and not having any files anywhere else, all installed springs now start instantly.
