Yep I suspected I broke something about scrolling. I'm autoscrolling too late, and once it misses one autoscroll, it doesn't autoscroll anymore because it thinks the user scrolled up.

On a standard map or on a vault map? Can you see the preview pictures for both types of maps?

Yes, please tell us whether this build, 124, runs on Windows XP. The earlier we know, the sooner we can release it.

I noted the replay watching feature wish, it'll come back some time soon (but as a robust solution, not a hidden feature).

Watching a live replay or an old replay is virtually the same.

As long as the player didn't host a new game and the old one is not closed on the server (still got listeners or whatever), the live replay is available.

It's not more possible in the current lobby because you can only double click swords. It will eventually be possible again soon.

But we are more interested to know if this build is working or not.

I am testing it right now. What wonders me: In the old Lobby (before new GUI) it was possible to double click on the free space in front of a player name to see the last replay of this player. Right now it is not working anymore. But I dont know if it's currently disabled or just a bug of the new test build 124?

This doesnt apply to watching a live replay. This is still working.

Windows XP - TEST BUILD 124

2012-02-16T03:00:51+02:00

Heya!

I uploaded a test build of the Lobby to Bitbucket. It fixes the "crash when I click on find games" bug (mostly, plus like half a dozen other important ones).

If you could test this now on Windows XP and Vista you could make my life a lot easier.
You are also free to test it on Win7, of course.

https://bitbucket.org/thepilot/falobby/ ... forever.7z

I have no time to write up a changelog, but everything since "Removed tag 0.5.0.87" on ZePilot's Twitter timeline is in this new build. Sorry if it's gibberish, it's 2 am and I haven't had much sleep lately.

Anyway... how to test this... if you're computer literate, you can unzip the file and run the program inside (it's not an installer). It should work with all your existing FAF settings.

Important: If your WINDOWS username has Accents in it (e.g. your name is something like René or Jörg), your supcom won't find any custom maps it downloads (you probably had a similar problem in GPGnet, right?) until we put a new SupComDataPath.lua onto the server. Shouldn't be a biggie for now. After that, no more mucking around with your program directories, FAForever will detect people with "special" usernames and create safe folders just for them under its own control.

I'm trying to make FAF "just work" for everybody. :]
