Recently I read in the forum that Auto-Dig does not work when warping with tw powers, only when warping with the artifact (https://www.warzone.com/Forum/839915-questions-between-auto-dig-superpower-tw).

Has this been fixed in 5.40.0? If not, is it scheduled to be fixed soon?

Does the improved map optimizer now mean the map svg upload limits can be increased?

Why can't private tournaments have coin prices?
Maybe related to the taxes, but you can collect those regardless of the tournament type so probably something different?

Quick question regarding a mod figuring out whether a game is a team game or not.
I looked over the wiki (https://www.warzone.com/wiki/Mod_API_Reference:GameSettings) to find a value in the game settings that specifically states whether the game is a team game or not, but there's none. So I made a feature request for this.

However, I recently found out that there is a value in the GameSettings object for this, but it is not documented?

Speaking of mods in mega games, I've just created a new game to test out a bunch of small/light mods for this exact purpose :)

If you haven't done, can you explain how the map optimization works and how you found this optimization? I'm curious

It will probably be already asked in Twitch chat by the time you get here, but in case they forgot:

Are there before and after images of the map optimization? I'm curious what the potential side effect are!


Any good reason why prettier maps haven't replaced the old ones in all all default templates?
For example guiroma old map (https://www.warzone.com/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=2738) vs new (https://www.warzone.com/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=105381)

If I creat a tournament, the seats are open for 1 day, why is this so short and why are other tournaments from other players have a longer time to get more players?

This should work already. If it does not, please report it as a bug.

This got changed in the UI overhaul of the game lobby. Fizzer currently has no plans to change it back to a blue box, because it doesn't fit in with the rest of the UI. On top of that, the term "blue box" was also confusing to new players.

Does the improved map optimizer now mean the map svg upload limits can be increased?

Maybe. The size of the SVG file itself doesn't really matter, but it is closely related to the number of polygons in the processed map, which is what Warzone is trying to keep a slow as possible.

If the limit would be changed to a polygon limit, that would be more confusing since map makers have no direct control over it. It might help some map makers, but it might also hurt others.

What day and time of the week does the new week start for the free modded game?
Can you please display this somewhere in-game?


It resets on Sunday midnight UTC. Fizzer agrees this should be displayed somewhere.
Fizzer has a plan to improve how the free modded game system works, but that is not on the immediate roadmap.

Why can't private tournaments have coin prices?
Maybe related to the taxes, but you can collect those regardless of the tournament type so probably something different?


Fizzer didn't think players would want this when he implemented tournaments. If you make a feature request for this, it can be added.

Warzone doesn't actually track this. It just has a flag per player for if the player is or isn't on a team. The code supports games where some players are on teams and some players aren't, which is why there isn't a single value for the entire game. Just loop over all the players and as soon as you find one that is in a team, the game is a team game.

Speaking of mods, any news with regards to testing mods in mega games?


There is currently a test running on a mega diplomacy game. It should have enough data that it can be analyzed now. If it shows promising results we can consider adding mods to mega games.

If you haven't done, can you explain how the map optimization works and how you found this optimization? I'm curious


The 2D version optimizes the SVG using common simplification rules: merge 2 nodes if they are too close together, removing nodes along lines that are almost straight, etc.
The 3D version is a component that I purchased.

(Editors note: it's likely https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/poly-few-mesh-simplifier-and-auto-lod-generator-160139)

How is the lawsuit?


No updates, still waiting on the judge.

See https://youtu.be/qluV5bR51qc?t=2859

If I creat a tournament, the seats are open for 1 day, why is this so short and why are other tournaments from other players have a longer time to get more players?

We used to have a problem where tournaments stayed open forever. If a player joins a tournament, Fizzer wants to guarantee that the tournament actually starts. If a single day is too short, you can create a feature request to increase it to 2 days, that is a reasonable request.

(Editors note: feature request to increase this: https://www.warzone.com/Forum/847436-increase-max-tournament-start-time-members)

A question about MODs, sometimes Mods are not working as they should be, with whom should I take contact if a Mod is not working?


You can contact the mod maker for that, either via private mail or sometimes via the mod makers discord too: https://discord.gg/Nn3ZxEejZa
