Re: FAF Client randomly swaps individual player's teams

Well this is the purpose of the "Random" setting, it's not a bug. Like sheeo said it's quite confusing. Random setting mean that the client will try to balance the game and to do it, it' s not keeping team like you set it. Random option should be name "AutoBalance"

FAF Client randomly swaps individual player's teams

2015-01-28T23:19:32+02:00

This is the strangest bug I've ever encountered. It seems my FAF client is swapping players teams are random.

For example, if it's:

1. Player 1 Team 1
2. Player 2 Team 1
3. Player 3 Team 2
4. Player 4 Team 2

When the game actually launches, it may become something like:

1. Player 1 Team 1
2. Player 2 Team 3
3. Player 3 Team 1
4. Player 4 Team 4

This happens basically every time I host. I have no idea what's happening. I tried reinstalling but Supcom and the FAF lobby, to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit:

I've located the bug.

For some reason, when you put "random" player locations and add an AI, the lobby likes to swap people's teams at will. Somehow in the "randomization" process, it likes to make the teams random as well. You guys may wanna take a look at this. Not sure if it also happens without an AI, since most people use "fixed" starting locations. Worth testing out though, it took me about 3 hours to figure this bug out.
