ggs all! Thanks everyone who set up the wiki, hosted servers, randomized brackets, recorded, and most of all: played! Was nice having quarter finals again.

Re: Ladle 116
I can't seem to watch these recordings. They start normally, but then drop to a screen stating that the connection is lost. It seems quite random, but always within the first few minutes. I also noticed timer hiccups, and this is on both 0.2.8.3.4 and 0.2.9.0.
Re: Ladle 116
Ah. Maybe that it did work reasonably well with 0.2.8.3.X was just a happy accident. We're building differently now, which mostly changed the Linux version I use for recording. I'll probably have to go back 0.2.8.3.5 for that, then.

Re: Ladle 116
Is it concievable that GCC might play a part? I'll try with the non-gcc version later.
Edit: Yep. Non-GCC version was completely stable. Which is odd, because the opposite is true when I'm actually playing.

Re: Ladle 116
What non-gcc version are you speaking of? I don't think we have a recent one. The windows builds of 0.2.8.3 didn't have it in their filename, sure, but they were still compiled with it; mingw, to be precise.

Re: Ladle 116
https://svwh.dl.sourceforge.net/project ... .win32.exe is the version I have installed.
https://download.armagetronad.org/stagi ... .win32.exe is the version of 0.2.9 I tried after 0.2.8 failed.
The build I used successfully was this: https://download.armagetronad.org/stagi ... .win32.zip
I'm not sure if there's any difference between the prefabbed zip and the installer, I just presumed that the lack of GCC in the filename denoted some other build.
At any rate, the only version that I could watch the entire match through was the prefabbed zip. I haven't tried 0.2.9 of any nature on Fedora yet.

Re: Ladle 116
That's curious, the gcc-less zip comes from the exact same build as the gcc-installer, it's just packaged differenly. I'll test it myself later. CPU differences and who knows what else also can play a part, so we'll see.
Re: Ladle 116
0.2.9.0 on Windows plays the recordings back fine for me.
What does not, however, is anything from 0.2.9.1. That would be the alpha branches at the time you were testing and the 'staging' branch on Steam. For me, somehow, a simple doubleclick on the recordings would initially prefer the Steam version now. Could that have happened to you? Were you on alpha or staging on Steam?
(Current Steam default is affected, too, but it hadn't been at the time of your report.)
I tracked the cause of the playback failure to a security fix hardening. The location of the vulnerability had already been fixed, but the playback breaking change would have stopped the issue from appearing in the first place and makes a function behave correctly, that is, do what its name says. It needs to stay in. The issue would have been the same had the recordings been made with 0.2.8.5.X.

Re: Ladle 116
I won't support Steam, so nope. The issue persisted on 0.2.8.3.4, though, most definitely.
I'm aware of an odd issue with my machine, mind you. My processor will happily tell you it supports AVX2, depending on which library you use to ask it, when in actual fact it does not. I don't see how this would necessarily be relevant to Armagetron, but it might be indicative of another issue somewhere.

Re: Ladle 116
We don't use AVX2 (on purpose; compilers can auto-opimize for extended command sets sometimes), but other floating point differences may be the trigger.
Try this build. Primarily intended for more reliable debugging of recording sent by players, in case of certain problems, it switches off strict playback of the network layer. It leaves gameplay and processing of network messages from the server. Right now, it won't have the correct ping on playback, so an actively controlled cycle would be a bit off at all times, but purely spectating recordings look all right. Better than having them not work at all.
