Unable to get to Skirmish menu

Postby nonzero » 11 Nov 2015, 23:55

Some recent changes make it impossible to get to Skirmish menu after watching a replay on FAF. After click "End Replay" there is no way to get Skirmish menu, exit to Windows is only option.

Skirmish after starting replay is the only way to start a skirmish game with or without AI where one can practice build order using the latest game patches or mods.

FIX ASAP: Do not exit to windows after end replay. Allow player to get back to full game menu including skirmish. Fix it else there is no way for players who haven't played in long time to practice build order with new patches/mods.

If you want to practice just open the normal faf lobby go to options and select sandbox as victory condition, ready up and click start then it's just you alone on the map.
Edit: speed was faster

Hosting a game then selecting sandbox leaves an entry in Local Archive. I do not want to fill up archive with my practice build order runs, I'd like to keep Archive for what it was intended to be, archive of games I've played.

What was the point of removing that choice anyway? I want it back the way it was.

Make a shortcut to C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe and run that, to play skirmish with the latest FAF balance.
