Discord can be nice, but not everyone wants to use it, especially just to get updates for mods/games.

It'd be great if they could still update people here, since this is much easier to access and more visible to the public.

Most of the AI seem to be overtuned now. I swear they cheat, even on easy difficulty. They tech up and upgrade way too fast to be spamming so many units now. And they seem to produce units faster than players can. Heck, I swear their units have more health and/or do more damage than player units, because whenever I use the units they spam, they don't live near as long as AI controlled ones.

Not to mention that they love to spam uber units and their strongest non-uber units. (Playing against the Heretics, for example, is a lesson in frustration and futility, as they spam Protector Sentinels like mad, which are kinda OP.)

Love the new additions, especially the revamped Flood.

However, there are a few issues I've encountered so far:

Pelicans and Spirits can't be healed.

Rocket Spartans are no longer available to make, as far as I can tell.

The AI is now overtuned on easy difficulty. They seem to have major resource and production speed bonuses/cheats, are hyper aggressive, and focus on almost exclusively spamming heavy/anti-vehicle infantry and uber units, which is very frustrating to deal with (The Flood are especially guilty of this).

However, some commanders seem to have almost dead AI, like the Arbiter, who doesn't really attack, and only spawns a handfull of Elite Ultras. The Grunt Rebellion also seems to have AI issues, where it spawns nothing but Deacons and Scarabs.

The Rebel's Heavy Elephant can create Rebel Shotgun infantry, but they have no upgrades.

The Grunt Rebellion's Grunt Heavy's shield upgrade only applies to the Grunt with the Fuel Rod Gun, the rest are unshielded. Also, for the Grunt Hordes, when upgraded with shields, they are unable to fully regenerate shields if they regain lost squad members through healing.

Flood AI can somehow build vehicle nests from dropped building beacons.

Infected infantry units built from a Proto Gravemind Flood Den can not earn veterancy. Also, the Infected Ranged Infantry squad from the Flood Den cannot garrison structures/cover.

Not sure if it's just a visual bug, but the final upgrade for the anti-infantry Heretic Squad appears to do nothing. Their strength indicator stays at 2. Also, for the Heretic Ghost's final upgrade, the shield bar does not appear, but otherwise it seems to work.

That worked. Thanks!

None of those have worked.

It's something to do with the game's cursor. It flickers when moved around the screen, while causing the stuttering.

There is an issue that I'm not sure about what causes it. When you move the mouse cursor around the screen, it causes the game to seriously lag. No matter how shortly you move it, you'll cause the game to stutter.

Restarting the game used to temporarily fix it, but now it starts right away in the menu.

Any news on an update? The rocket Spartans have been broken and useless for several months now.

Any news on development progress? It's been a while.

There's a bit of an issue with many infantry squads that get an extra unit. The extra unit gains veterancy separately from the main squad.

Also, the MoK Light Infantry squad does not earn veterancy, but the added Confessor does.

There is some issue with the Renegade faction. Whenever I play as them, the game will crash a few minutes in.

Edit: After playing a bit more, I think the problem might be AI playing as RRF, as I got a crash while playing Scrin vs. RRF.

Edit 2: Ok, yeah, it has to be something wrong with AI controlling the RRF faction. Played a game of Renegades vs. Scrin, and didn't crash.

So, is there any ETA on when the installer for version 1.88.74 will be available?

Love this mod, but there appears to be a bug with the rocket spartans. They can't attack, spawn stuck in the base and need a pelican drop to get them out, and only their helmet shows.

Also, is it possible to make it so that pelicans and spirits can be repaired?

Did you spawn rocket spartans? They seem to be bugged, and don't work.

The Zann Consortium is already in the mod. They're a minor faction, so not fully playable.

Oh, also, Heavy Scorpions are way too strong. They need a higher tech requirement, require research to reach their current strength, and/or need to just be nerfed. They outperform Grizzlies by a good margin, which shouldn't be the case.

Love the mod. However, there are issues with some units.

The Plasma Pistol Drones have very erratic and buggy (no pun intended) movement. They can permanently separate from each other, and get stuck. Also, all Drones don't appear to earn veterancy.

Spirits and Pelicans can not be healed. Not sure if anything can be done about that, though.

As others have said, Elite Rangers can't use their jumppack ability.

Shotgun Marine grenade upgrades don't seem to work?

Not exactly a bug, but Combat Medics are capped at 3 power/stars. It'd be nice if they could reach 6 like (almost) everything else.

Flood Infection Forms prevent any unit they attack from doing anything, including defending themselves and moving.

Some Covenant and (recruited, not infected) Flood Combat Forms can't garrison things.

Even with enhanced Spartan jacking enabled, you cannot have Spartans commandeer your own Vultures.

Spartan grenades are inconsistent depending on what weapon they are wielding. The chaingun ones will fire a volley of extremely weak grenades.

Any units infected by Infection Forms or Spore Launchers have no sight radius at all.

Finally, I would like to see descriptions made for Flood units and upgrades that don't have any.

Love the mod! It's great having the factions diversified.

Would it be possible to give the Marked of Kane a unique "elite/commando" unit, like a Cyborg Commando?

Also, are there any plans to flesh out similar units for the Scrin factions? It feels a little odd not having an equivalent for Reaper-17 (my favorite faction, by the way. I love the mutation system).

Are you guys using the mod launcher and Steam version of C&C 3? If so, you'll need to not use the mod launcher, and instead set up the Steam launch properties of the game to launch using the mod.

So, is 0.9 still set to release today?

The mod causes the game to crash on startup now, most likely due to the latest game update.
