Hi!

I've just been playing a few matches after a pause of two months, and the first thing that annoyed me was this "update already!" popup. If it's not up to me to decide when, simply turn it into an auto update but don't let it float all over the screen ...

After the update I wondered how my new computer would handle the game, At first I was surprised that nex can actually be this fast But then I constantly encountered lag problems worse than ever. And it's definetely not a client issue, as I've heard others having this problem, too. It's some strange lag ... I'm rushing at full speed and suddenly it's like a gap: The game stops for a millisecond, and I've lost all my speed.

Aparty from that I'd like the new announcer to be redone. First, his voice does sound cool but he's not as understandable as the prior one. Second, grammar doesn't seem to be his favorite subject, especially when it comes to singular and plural ... Console messages also used to be better or is there only one massacre? (xyz starts THE massacre ...)

Is there any way to reactivate the old announcer?

Thx, and don't let me dicourage you: I appreciate your work and this game very much

Yes... there is only one massacre. MassacreS would be two separate occurrences, likely in completely different places. A singular war can be one massacre.

ANYWAY! That movement thing sounds like the movement prediction gone bad. It was a well known glitch in 2.4.0, but was fixed in 2.4.2.

Seeing as you don't have the update, this might be the explanation.

Another explanation would be that MM played on one of the numerous servers still running 2.4 or even 2.3. And for this reason, an auto update should be implemented exclusively for the dedicated server. Why are some admins so darn lazy?

It also happens with "one minutes" etc. Apart from that, I find it quite hard to understand the mumbling announcer - accoustically! And if I turn up the volume I get annoyed by much too loud combat sounds.

You didn't get me right, I did update due to the ultra annoying floater But I think Urmel got the point, because it were "older" servers. An auto update for dedicated would be nice.
