2025 version sucks

[Gadderach]

2025 version = arrested development, communist version

Harvesters crazy
New colour scheme for teams is weird
Most have moved to 2025 so 2023 no longer has enough players

I'm going offline for a month see if you guys can fix it, thanks.

I agree totally.
Zoom out factor reduced. Can change it in the source, but than you can not use it to play online.
So you see a smaller part of the map than before. When in Edit, Spectator mode, or dead, the render system can zoom out a lot more. It's just one number in the source code, like minzoomfactor 1.0, 0.75, or 0.5 for seeing the whole map can not be controlled through the settings in game, or settings file.
All bi harvester mods have to be edited because they are incompatible. While they knowing these were used a lot.
So practical all modded maps don't work.
UI Scale don't work. So you need a bigger monitor.
Combo: Higher resolution or in window using xrandr scaling to 4k under Ubuntu also stopped working?? Don't know why, but then you can't set the resolution of a virtual 4k screen anymore, so OpenRA thinking it has 4k screen can not play in it.

Can't prove it, but i call it sabotage. Seen it also a lot on GitHub, how open source programs getting killed from inside or outside (for example changing the windows system with updates so world wide the source code suddenly stops functioning as expected like before).

I agree with the sabotage theory, surely they would have tested it before releasing and seen the faults mentioned.

I love the new version, but the meeting point, of the service depot, it doesn't work and the fixed wagons remain there

It's honestly terrible. There are even 1/2 second audio delays in-game now.
Either this release was sabotaged or the developers fucked up harder than Coca-Cola with New Coke.
