I've only used it twice, but I've noticed I can still accidentally join lobbies with an avoided player in them, and they can join lobbies I'm in. I have ended up on the same team as players on my avoid list.

What does the "avoid" function do at the moment?

Is this planned? I like to have control of my own server, I downloaded the game, liked it a lot and then when I was going to play multiplayer with my friends it asked for an account. Not interested.

I have dedicated server machines and a whole rack with other servers. I like it as a hobby. I like to have my own servers with my own culture on it.

I really like the game other than the multiplayer side of it. idc about score boards ect and ranking.

Hello, I am about a 2 week old play who is still learning. I mostly join the “Noob” labeled games but during the games I often get flamed when I play sub optimally. I come from League of Legends so I get flame but why flame noobs in literally rank restricted noob lobbies? Anyway great game just wish people would chill.

I played for the Cortex faction. I selected my tier 2 builder, i clicked somewhere around the building icon and it suddenly shoved me few buildings that i newer saw before. Like a Guard with 10 heads. but i accidentally clicked on something and it all disappear. Does anyone know if this was discovered? Or potential how to find it again?

My son and I have been trying to play BAR together on my home LAN but every single time one of us will start lagging, the game desyncs, and we can't finish the game. Sometimes it happens quickly, sometimes it happens halfway through a game, and it changes which user is the one lagging, but it always happens eventually. We've never finished a game.

One of these PCs is a Threadripper 3960X with an RTX 4090, 64GB RAM and Samsung 980 Pro SSDs. The other is a Threadripper 1920X with a GTX 1070 Ti, 32GB RAM, and Samsung 960 Pro SSDs. Both of these systems are well above the minimum required specs listed on the download page. We can play Planetary Annihilation Titans as well as all the Sup Com games with all the graphics settings fully maxed out and not have any issues at all. We play Halo and Deep Rock Galactic without issues as well. But with BAR, even with all the graphics settings at their lowest quality, the game lags and desyncs every time. In single player, both machines can play the game without issues even with the graphics settings maxed out. It's only multiplayer where there's a problem.

Why does this happen? Are there any steps we can take to mitigate the issue?

TIA!

Hi!

Recently found this game and am totally loving it as ive previously played lots of Supreme Commander.
Ive found myself enjoying just building up a economy and pumping out units but not necessarly managing them all, instead giving them away to AI.

Now i was wondering if theres an Option/AI which allows AI to still use Combat Units but not make them.
So i can basically fully manage the economy and unit production but the AI acting as a type of "General" controlling the Units for me that i give him.
At the same time the enemy AI should still be able to play normally (like the BARb does currently).
Essentially i need a new AI/Profile but i dont think theres an easy way to tweak those correct?

Thanks

In different lobbies i sometimes have different os. Ive been in a lobby at 25, only to change lobbies and see my os being 16

Is this a bug or did i miss something?

3 days ago I made a post asking if there's a way to make barbarian AI use extra units because a ratte and a flying hydra came up, and most people said nope unless coded in. So i just went 'yeah maybe I was just tweaking.'

Well I played a game and a flying hydra and a drone carrier came up.

I think they're randomized, sometimes they use it sometimes they don't. hella fun tho. Hopefully the AI will use extra units fully soon enough. love it.

I didn't finish the game because they started spamming the flying drone carrier and my pc was dying.

Just curious what units and structures I should build in the early, mid and late game. Nothing fancy, I can figure out bunches later. Just don’t want to build a bunch of useless units in mp.

Seriously, the '8v8 glitters all welcome' and similerly named lobbies are full of 20-30 OS guys that NEVER play a different map.

A lot of these guys are overrated OS, those guys that never change position, they sit in the same position every game, and then lecture the canyon player on 'meta', but don't build units when enemy backline supports the front.

I am sorry to tell you that racing your air con to get the canyon reclaim before the canyon front/support player's rez bots is not meta.

Rushing to t3 when your front players are stuck on the transition to t2 because there is too much pressure? Probably not meta.

Also, when a 20 OS eco player doesn't get his favorite position? They end up on frontline don't move up, then flame whoever is the left and right of them... even though they themselves let the lane through.

As it sits 1v1 up to 5v5 is just better gameplay, 2/3rds of the 8v8 player base only ever plays glitters or isthmus. Don't get me started on the map where players who win their lane just sit for 20 minutes... like keep building dammit, you have tidal/wind power for your sea/air to scale up and help.

The thing I really don't get is the 'meta' players on glitters that never play air, never build AA in 'their' position, and then flame a 16 OS (second to bottom player in choose order) because they dare play air and get outbuilt? Like motherducker, yiu put that player in that position... how about you learn air before flaming them?

When and where do I pick what I'm building and where I'm building it?

Is the map selection up for debate or is that purely picked by the game creator?

What are some main maps I should know, outside of Supreme Ishmus?

I've read that I shouldn't lock in but wait and type something in chat, but that was from a year ago. Is this still true?

What is some etiquette I should keep in mind, maybe some things you wish you knew that you learned in your first couple games?

As someone who comes from Red Alert back in the day, the fact there is a map called Desolation was a beautiful site.

For context: I'm a noob, mostly a glitters-warrior. I don't fold most of the time, but I manage to fuck up plenty (I love to stall my economy...). I like vehicles (outside of canyon at least), the artillery range is particularly nice. But, I don't get rezbots with the vehicle lab, and that's a real disadvantage...

What's the best way to deal with that? Later I just build a botlab (need it for spam anyway), but until I have the economy for that...

Just deal with it and don't reclaim as much? Build more T1 constructors and reclaim with those? Buy some from the neighbours? I'm curious what you guys think about this, it's a neat balance decision.

I typically never see them in use, and in 8v8s I transition to t2 after about 15-20 winds with a few normal solars depending on map.

So when am I supposed to use Advanced solar? Do they serve a purpose?

Is the answer always to just pull back? I can't figure out any other answer :/

Just looking to learn while I watch some pvp. Game is a blast but there is a lot to take it. Any must watch videos and quick tips are always be appreciated.

Hey everyone, I am very new to the game and am trying to figure out unit counters. The guide on the BAR website is super barebones and doesn't tell me much. At the same time, I am not interested in learning the counters for 400 units by heart, so what I am looking for is general counter ideas, e.g. spears counter cavalry (obviously not applicable in this game).

I have tried a bunch and it just feels like counter units aren't intuitive at all.

I am pretty much enjoing bar and not quite a noob as I am heading towards chev 5 (many „noob lobbies“ still consider me as one by my OS rank 20). After all this time some nooby questions remained in my head and I couldn‘t figure them out yet by just playing the game. I hope you can help me with your experience:

1. How to succesfully eliminate a cloaked com? I got comwalked twice though I had a Counter-Intrusion System and several grunts running around the approaching „red dot“ -.- kind of confused here

2. what t3 units are good to break the frontline? Last game a high tier player suggested I should have built thors instead of titans because they are too defensive (?!).

3. As air, when are you usually going for you first bombing run? And at what number of figs are you aiming to protect the bombers?

4. My friend told me to spam as airplayer both t1 and t2 fighters. Because outnumbering the attacking enemy is more important than having only t2 fighters… not sure about it.
