Phasing out v5
It's almost one year since we have released v6, time to proceed and disabling the old version. However there are still around 10% of players which use v5. Please tell us why you use v5:
- Because v5 looks better/different? - Is v5 faster for you? Have you recently tried v6? - Advancements like external PM windows are not a reason to switch? - Playerlist on v5 feels nicer? If v5 is released, the development staff including scripters can use more advanced features of v6 like multiple GUI styles and external windows. Will you switch to v6 if the old version is disabled or will it be a serious problem for you? |
Awesome, can't wait for everyone to be on the same client.

Just to make it clear about the joypad support reason, I know there are programs that can make your joypads useable still, but why should I have to do something like this when the old version clearly shows there is support for it? I will usually jump on v6 anyways just so I can get used to it for when this would eventually happen, but those are my reasons I prefer v5 still for player use. v5 or v6 doesn't bother me in choice, v6 does operate better for servers that are up to date for me, so if anything, I'd love to switch entirely to v6, but these minor things are what keep me from doing so, I usually get on Graal just so I can keep a check on those friends that still play I know of and If I can't do it seamlessly, why bother? |
I don't even remember what V5 looks like any more

Just to give a refresher of both version's general appearances in GUIs/playerlist, view here at imgur

I also like the appearance of the playerlist window over the current, makes it look too busy with the blue and bulbous scrollbars, which are fine for scripted window boxes. (My opinion) |
since i switch to v6 seem like i start to lag more but cant tell if its from the lag on era or the client

I don't think its on my end due i have a high internet connection and the server was in texas so ya when i do a ping test its low
just seems like graal holds back my pc performance for some reason but offline it does it too example v5 offline level editor when u test run a level i dont lag at all during v5 now v6 since a few months ago it lags when i test my level offline for some reason and my pc is only a year old with windows 7 |
1. No UDP/P2P - This wouldn't be a problem if you improved the server<->client communication and interpolation to smooth out movement.
2. V5 Playerlist is superior in many players opinions. 3. Fonts appear bolded in comparison to V6. |
I like the v5 playerlist/profile windows and the font appearance. Not really serious though.
Lack of UDP is only really important for classic-style sparrers, and UN is practically dead so I doubt anyone cares/knows what it is. With v6 players, and not only staff, should be able to log on the iServers. Facebook client is ****. List the servers on the serverlist, let's see some pretty numbers for Graal's sake. |

Still use v5 because of...

Maybe generate Gtk / Windows Forms from the scripts rather than rendering it like it's done now? |
