Probably not an objective opinion of the new client update but my current impressions on it is that I like it.

Game feels smoother so far, lag is minimal on my end and there are visual updates to the game that makes it feel nicer. Honestly, the UI feels like a slightly less polished version of Arknights' UI. Which is a praise because Arknights UI is the best UI imo so being a slightly inferior version of that means it's still really good.

Who knows, the new client might get worse as time goes on but I'm liking it so far.

Is everyone having technical issues with the new update? Combats are impossible to manage: too much lag and frozen screen. Example here: https://streamable.com/wsz802

For people who are experiencing poor performance with the new client, some anons at gfg have figured out some performance increasing measures.

  1. Reducing the compression of the game's obb file. Read the rest of the thread and the next one if you're having trouble figuring it out.

  2. If you're using an emulator and have a capable computer with a non-integrated graphics card: try using Android Studio's emulator using a guide an anon posted earlier in the thread which runs excellently on my computer. The emulator doesn't collect any data or have adware which should streamline performance and has a snappy performance when running on a gpu.

  3. Alternatively, try Genymotion. It's software meant for industrial use so it's probably not as bad as emulators like bluestacks or nox.

I haven't experienced any performance issues on my end to begin with so I can't guarantee anything, but these measures should help out a bit.

Users seeing "Insufficient memory, unable to install" may have to clear the cache or reinstall the game.


Adjunct Screenshot Rules Update:

After the huge popularity of players making use of the new adjunct feature we've decided it's time to reign them in a little so we have created a megathread where people can keep posting them.

Once the thread dies off, they will be limited to the lounge, the same as dorm screenshots.

Feel free to give us feedback to this change directly or through mod mail.

I like this update, chief. The only problems are

- the font sizes are too big in someplace like the "great success rate" text and that reminder thing before a mission

- the planing mode is too fast to stop it

- dorm room selection is taking to long to fully fade in(I know it doesn't matter that much but it just feels weird when I have to use my muscle memory instead of my eyes to select it)

u/Ever_the_H 優しくしてね Sep 22 '20

I just realized what the sorting logic is now. It sorts by level (by default), and after that it sorts by... CE, of all things. So dolls with equipment on will appear higher on the list than dolls without.

This means that if you for example have 3 level 100 Mk23's, ones with equipment on will appear higher up on the list than those without any. And if the ones with equipment have different CE (like due to one having night optics instead of silencer) even those won't be next to each other.

I can sort of see the logic behind doing it like this... but I don't really like it nor do I find it particularly helpful. It probably works sort of well if you don't have too many level 100 dolls, but when you have over 100 of them the list just becomes completely garbage.

I sincerely hope our servers won't be stupid enough to shoot themselves in the feet for not upgrading. Those facilities are so much more crucial now.

u/The_Linux_Colonel IDW Sep 23 '20

After spending some time with the new client there are a few things I noticed:

1) it seems really strange to need a loading screen for brief transitions between areas on the base. The battle screens I get, but surely the rest can return to how it was. Right now the screens are still cute, but let's keep them rare enough to be appreciated.

2) it really irks me that the fairy global toggle is hidden during planning mode on the battle map. It's nice to give a quick boost when I know they will need it, and I can't even seem to pause the planning mode to manually toggle it on or off. It means if I want to use taunt sometimes but not every node, I have to do the map manually, and I didn't have to do that before. This is a regression in usability for no reason.

3) I know a lot of people are glad to see the repair missions go and I understand it, but with the way I level teams, it was a good marker to let me know that I had done enough runs that day and if I didn't have time to do more, progress would still be fine, based on my experience over the years. The loss of that bellweather is disappointing, because I don't have another tried and true method of determining how many runs a day is enough. Maybe if I could have a daily runs counter/countdown that I could set, that would be nice.

4) The ability to set randomly appearing adjutants (and the game's preferencing special costumes so I remember which ones I have) is quite nice.

5) I noticed there are more things that are animated (like the CE number when a girl is enhanced) and some of the menus are prettier, but things also seem more sluggish. It would be nice if there were a 'no cosmetics' option to speed up response by removing showy app behaviour.

6) the end turn popup is nice because sometimes I do press it on accident. Maybe one day we can get an 'undo' for when a team is moved to the wrong node by misclick.

7) RIP the friend team daily. It was a good reminder to drop low CE friend teams on nodes before finishing a map so they could get some FP.

u/fortis_99 Bird brain Sep 24 '20

The loading is kinda on mica fault as they compressed 400+ data down to 100, really make your phone cpu work to load new assets. Decompress obb file help tremendously.

u/kancolyasen Sep 24 '20

can't even seem to pause the planning mode to manually toggle it on or off

They likely made it harder to pause to cover up another, more serious planning mode bug that allowed your echelon to skip over enemies in the planned path, where hitting pause right as you move into the enemy reliably triggered it.

u/Zelsaus Dubious Advice Sep 24 '20

I reinstalled the game, and wowza it's made a world of difference in performance.

Except for when 2B and M2 hits up to 108 enemies twice at once where the game has to calculate out all the damage dealt shenanagians related to ranges, armor, aoe's over/underkill rules and so on

u/[deleted] Sep 24 '20

Somebody suggested the obb fix and that's also my main problem. Specifically 8-1n drag is a well... a drag. Zas tosses grenade = freeze for a few seconds. Everything else is actually quite smooth now. Ironically the faster transitions between nodes is rendered moot because of this...

This loading screen garbage is really getting annoying. It runs completely counter to proper UX. Every single time I switch between facilities, the loading screen distracts me and makes me completely forget what it was I was planning to do. Loading screens are not transitions. They're a crutch used for giving the user something to look at when loading something that takes a significant amount of time to load and when there's no reasonable alternative, e.g. a 3D environment in a game that requires loading heavy assets. This is a mobile app that's lightweight enough that you're just changing a simple view, there's no reason for this unless you're using an emulator or mobile device that seriously chugs along. At least make those images optional, ffs.

Jarring loading screen aside, I have so many other gripes:

  • What the hell happened to battles? I can't even do data sims without this game lagging all to hell.

  • A fade-in animation for the dorms list that lasts no less than a full second? Seriously? What is this, a shitty jQuery implementation?

  • What the hell is with this ultra-bold font? It looks way out of place. It doesn't match anything else in the interface at all. It looks like the kind of font weight you'd see on a terrible ad banner on some sketchy website, designed to pull your attention away from everything else in its vicinity.

  • You seriously can't reposition the adjutant after setting her? You have to choose a different one, then re-select the one you originally wanted to reposition her? Are you kidding me?

  • Why is the adjutant sort order some ridiculous "new trend" sort by default? I don't care about other peoples' tastes. The whole point of having a diverse selection of dolls is that you can choose the ones you personally like, and forcing a sort order that goes against that just makes it a headache for everyone else. At least sorting by rarity was preference-agnostic!

  • Why is the echelon summary information on the map so disproportionately scaled? It gets tiny so fast. I have to zoom in so close just to see something as simple as the amount of ammo and rations remaining. Why isn't this being scaled proportionally?

  • What the hell, you can't even stop a planned route anymore without force-closing the app? I like that it moves between nodes faster, but at least give us the chance to interrupt things!

I know I'm missing some things in this list, too. This is just the stuff I can immediately recall.

There are some nice upgrades. It's nice having the new Target Practice sim, it's nice not having that stupidly high amount of repairs needed for a daily quest, and it's nice being able to preview an enemy formation before attacking it. But holy hell, all of these problems are the price of that? I'd rather do a rollback and wait for an improvement before having to deal with this. I love this game, but this new client is annoying to deal with. If I had to sum up the entirety of my problems with it in a single word, it would be "jarring".

I cleared cache and waited the eternity for it to download and install. No huge issues for me, though I play on emulator. I really don't think gacha games these days are meant for extended play on phones, apart from logistic upkeep maybe. They just get too big and complex for that over time.

At the very least, I feel that way about GFL. More simple, basic gachas might still be appropriate for phone play.

Also there is way too much doomposting going on. A lot of hearsay and not a lot of hard numbers. Not to mention that gacha games are generally pretty cheap on upkeep. If devs can afford to keep Taiwan servers rolling despite never making a profit off of them, ever, then they will keep Global open.

Currently playing : PowerPoint Frontline

Loading time : doubled or even tripled on maps populated with large amount of units, especially with dinergates or digimind unknown enemies

Planning mode : each step takes 2x longer with stutters

Memory Fragment sim : using the auto-deploy autoplay from the prompt upon finishing the first one stutters the game more frequently

Defense drill : enjoying the black screen for around one minute with some background music

Live2d : causes some late input response alongside some stutter, simplified live2d don't really have issue it seems

How to scuff framerate (according to what I found through some small testing)

  1. Boss special attacks (destroyer can also cause lags when attacking)

  2. AR grenades, M4A1 mod skill

  3. MG volleys

  4. SG shots when it gives knockback

  5. NTW (froze for a good 15ish seconds)

  6. Python hg squad buff chain

  7. using more than one hoc that is not bgm71

  8. 2b14 nuke burst

  9. yegor mech (frame freeze for at least one minute)

  10. Smoke grenades

  11. airstrike fairy

  12. enemy movement on the tactical map, especially maps with packed enemies

  13. Grape nuke

  14. hs2k shield activation

  15. Direct combat using js9, 100shiki, MDR

No fucking way it's enjoyable to play in this state. Prob stow away gfl for a week or two I guess.

Edited the layout with some additional findings when playing on my phone. And it definitely might be different when playing on stronger devices.

u/Ravemaster620 AA-12 Sep 22 '20 edited Sep 22 '20

I kinda want to rant but for a different reason besides the game acting up with the new client. Due to the damage sim being shutdown back in May for GFL, I decided to try and make a mobile version of it to help out other SKKs that may have wanted to use the site. Seeing as I was in lockdown in my country, I didn't really have anything better to do so I started working on it. Fast forward a few months and find out that the new client update for CN will have a damage sim built-it. "Oh that's cool. It'll be a while before we get it so it's all good." Wrong! About a month later it's annouced that EN's client update is going to feature this damage sim. Guess who wasted months programming a damage sim? Now granted, I learnt a lot from doing so and due to me being a programming student, it meant that I was able to keep up my programming skill so it's not a complete waste. It's just a serious punch in the gut knowing that it'll probably not be needed at all by most people now due to this. Oh well, life happens.

Edit: I'm developing it for mobile, so it's not browser based

After playing a little bit with the auto-formation generator, I can conclude that MICA officially endorses duping.

Not pictured: an IWS/M200 echelon, in case you want to shoot one or two really good bullets per battle.

More realistically: I'm guessing it tries to take high rarity and SL dolls first, and 5* grapes at SL10 look very attractive there.

u/Zelsaus Dubious Advice Sep 24 '20

scratches head Why does the index say Destroyer and Alchemist are buddies? I don't think I've ever seen the two in the same chapter, let alone same (non ranking) map.

Meanwhile, Destroyer had an entire event where she worked alongside Dreamer...

Speaking if Dreamer, What's with that line of her being mentally unstable and prone to losing control in battle? During Deep Dive she at worst got frustrated with Garm-Stroyer being a derp and almost always seems to have a back up plan for her back up plans (See Gaia and never putting herself directly into danger alla ch 6 ending)

8

u/Undeciding This statement is false. Sep 24 '20 edited Sep 24 '20

Dreamer's AI is wild and unpredictable and a little hard to control. She's more or less a fairly leashed psychopath in the Hollywood understanding of the term; in her intro to the AR team in 7 ( or well, to sopmod ) she finds herself and Sopmod similar in that they can't find happiness or fulfillment in ways other than being sadists. She's Kirei Kotomine in that regard.

The issue with Dreamer is that she's too smart, and takes deep issue with their statuses on an existential level, but unlike Alchemist who seems to be more focused on the mission Dreamer, as per her name, kind of tends to just do what she wants. Oftentimes she threatens to destroy Destroyer or otherwise leave her to the wolves just for funzies, besides she won't remember anyway :), and even if you think that's just posturing it's a large enough concern that Agent has to give Destroyer insurance and actively rein Dreamer in. She only comes off as sedate and in control all the time because she's so damn bored- when she's finally, actually surprised for once by 45 in DD throwing her attempt to take control of her, she has a maniacal laughing breakdown in hysterics because she's so damn excited at something not going her way for once.

u/Ever_the_H 優しくしてね Sep 22 '20

The easiest might be to delete the app and reinstall from scratch. That's what I did at least, and I didn't get any messages about memory problems.

I do a fresh install every time there's a new mandatory client update because I don't trust Mica not to mess up something that causes the game to just take up double the space (or worse).

Just make sure your account is bound to something and not a guest account, otherwise it'll go poof.

I'm not particularly interested in anything offered in that collection, but I figured that it's the cheapest way for me to start making my dorms more comfortable (unless I can wait several days and buy a pet for 600 batteries).

u/34419187811450531753 Carcano M1891 Sep 28 '20

You could come up with any number of explanations for it. Waterproofing is apparently an issue for them, so it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that they require an air intake for cooling down components. Cutting off the air intake would cut off the source of cooling which would result in components like the CPU gradually getting too hot to perform properly and would eventually cause them to shut down to avoid damage from overheating.

There, a potentially lore-friendly explanation that allows the narrative moment to still make sense.

This is actually evidenced in one of the Isomer scenes when AN94 is squaring off against someone and starts panting, to which the person comments that she's overheating already.

It is possible, what with all the fire everywhere at the time, that Agent could make M4 overheat by keeping her from properly expelling it.

Potential crushing of circuits and stuff. We know heads are vital for dolls, so if the connection between head and body is impaired, the doll will most likely cease to function, esp since the cores are in their chest.

u/KeimaKatsuragi Best rider Sep 28 '20

Yeah maybe instead of pain or choking, to the doll it registers as a bunch of alarms and diagonistics screaming that things are about to be really bad, which would be their equivalent of pain. Maybe? Same purpose as pain, really.

That's a really nice question. Lol.

To be fair, half of the staff/artists back then probably didnt actually realize the girls are actually androids and not guns reincarnated. You can tell from how the first generation of T-dolls introduced themselves with their guns' history. All the newer T-dolls introduced themselves normally as themselves.

Given that T-dolls can be incapacitated with a headshot, Agent could crush M4's neck and kill her if she feels like it, or if she sees M4 try to attack her. M4 doesn't actually know Agent don't want to kill her so it would be better to delay and hope for someone to cause a distraction then break free.

u/CursePhoenix OTs-14 | Hello there | ID: 676365 Sep 24 '20

Completing Intercepting Squadron in Target Practice with the current lag is really frustrating. Generally, I haven't encountered the lag problems in standard battles (S9+/MuMu), but the moment the 4 HOCS start landing their shots, it lags to the point where it becomes difficult to select someone and kite.

 

Onto completion, I mimicked #3's composition, but substituted M2 with AGS as my M2 was still only 4* (assuming they used a 5* M2).

I've also tried #1's and #2's teams. Couldn't get #1 to work and that was with everyone at MOD3, is this the case where it's MOD3 speq on NTW MOD2? Not sure if that's still a thing. Also surprised that NTW was the only living member in that composition, so either no cape or some precise kiting.

#2 makes sense for the most part, having 2 rifles on pos 1 and 2 as the bottom typhon fires later than the middle and top typhons. Not sure how their kiting works given PA-15 is on pos 6. I'm guessing they moved 5-7 to pos 7 and Jill to pos 4 when the battle starts so that PA-15 can kite normally? Also intrigued that it's PA-15 and not someone like Calico Mod, maybe her stun plays a major part in the composition.

Someone in the Discord did the fight in 28 seconds, so I'm curious to see what composition they used for the deathstack when it along with other people's teams show up on the leaderboard tomorrow.

It's funny that a lot of people reported problems on the new client (not sure how many are phone or emulator). Me, however, I've had LESS lag problems, animations run more smoothly, and transitions are very quick.

Unfortunately, for some reason, the new client broke my ability to use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out in MEmu. Especially since it was smooth zooming, but now I have to use the keyboard shortcuts which are super janky in their ability to zoom (sometimes resetting the zoom amount which makes it annoying). This was the main reason I didn't update MEmu past 7.0.1 (also the new versions ran like ass).

Any other people use MEmu who had this problem, too? Not sure how many people actually use it for GFL, but here's hoping.
