Patch Notes - September 17, 2019

Unfortunately, we have more problems with positions and moving of units with new icons, etc.

Please, return up changes of view

The game does not support old 3D-accelerators without WebGL2.

Please, fix it

Anybody answer me?

I do not play S1 (and am not team member for this game) However I can try to answer what I'd answer in S1914.

WebGL is a requirement for the game. Most browser are capable of using it. And when installed well it speeds up and makes the game less laggy. (S1 Might still be in a beta stage where S1914 has been and then it lags regardless).

However WebGL is used because most laptops have some sort of general processing unit (GPU). Either it's internal in your CPU that it does the calculation or it uses a true GPU. So it does try to use the calculation strength of those units. In most cases in S1914's early days the issues were linked to missing drivers on the users PC. But this is guesses I'm taking. You can best send in a support ticket to the team and they can help you further. The support ticket already gives the team more information and if they require even more they will ask you.

He isn't complaning about poor performance, which is indeed a problem in S1914. He's saying the revamp views sucks due to its bad design, specially regarding units because it is harder to tell where exactly a unit is, what exactly is it doing and it's harder to click it.

Having WebGL is not an excuse for the low-playability the "new" view has.

Then I misunderstood the complain I read it as him not having WebGl. Which to my knowledge is a requirement for S1914. (not certain Alkyonor might be able to confirm that). But as I dont play S1 I can not judge anything from its view.

You must have a 10 year old device or older in order to not have WebGL, and if that's the case, you probably can't open the game even in legacy view.

WebGL is indeed part of the revamp view for S1914 and also the standard view for S1, but as said, probably less than 1% have devices that old that can't run WebGL.

I have 15 year old videocard (NV GT6600). But I have normal performance in S1914 with WebGL and VERY poor performance in S1: TGW with WebGL2.

I think that WebGL2 is excess requirement for browser game.

I'm waiting game designer answer...

15 year old and still running, jesus christ

even my dog didn't last that much

Anyway the game have very bad optimization

what is wrong with optimization? I don’t argue that on ancient calculators the game will lag, but if something newer there should be no problems

the maps on S1 are still small, however in the 500p map from S1914 the performance is awful, you can barely play decently in the end-game

The requirements are very high for browser game. 90% of browser games have more less requirements.

There are a lot of hidden battle mechanics in the game and therefore these calculations load the processor

WebGL2 load the videocard not processor. In the soft mode performance is good with some bugs.

The performance on large maps with the old Canvas system was just as awful. Problem there is that there was also no room for optimization anymore. With WebGL there is luckily, and we are currently also taking further measures to improve its performance.

Please, still give the ability to start map in S1 with video driver switch off (soft mode).

Many thanks in advance!

I have a horrible time recognizing where a unit stands precisely.

I am in a game where 2 players have different militaries in and around Ypre.

It is essentially difficult to see where my ordnance or Panzerzug are standing.
