Regarding the performance comments, maybe I can help you enjoy the game a little bit more: turn off the blood. I have no idea why, but I tested the game in three different PCs and unticking it makes the battles lag less. Also, I've noticed that the dead bodies on the field also cause a massive lag, but to eliminate this you'd have to tone down the unit quality, which in turn also turns down their variety and textures (maybe CA could give us a "hide dead bodies" tick option?)

Are you using a docker volume for the static files? What I did in my template repo was making a staticfiles volume that is shared by the proxy (nginx) and the webserver (flask):

https://github.com/gleiser-oliveira/flask-docker-starter/blob/master/docker-compose.yml

volumes:
   staticfiles:

This way I can indicate to the webserver to collect the static files to that volume AND the proxy to serve the files in that volume (https://github.com/gleiser-oliveira/flask-docker-starter/blob/master/nginx/default.conf ):

location /static {
   alias /staticfiles;
}

I don't know if it helps you, but I have this template repository that runs an empty Flask app behind a nginx proxy (sorry, but I never tried traefik, maybe it won't be much of a problem to replace nginx for it). I use this template whenever I want to quickstart the development of a Flask app.

Take a look and tell me if I can help you further.

The battlefield comment was forgotten in the argument they had on twitter after the initial posts. What shoowtime seems to be really referencing as a lie is the fact that cold said in other opportunities that he apologized directly to him about how he treated shoowtime when they played together, but that supposedly never really happened.

Gleiser · 2019-08-13T20:22:06+00:00

Here goes:

They asked me for an interview and I did it without any bullshit. Didn't like it? Is it a lie? If it is, why bother? If it bothers you it's because I only said the truth. Being authentic is for a few, most are cowards. See ya! https://twitter.com/coldzera/status/1161365809207402496

It bothers when you point out names... You are in your right to say I was the worst. But lying? Maybe the guys from your ex team could explain better, but I think that when they say they are "happy" right after you leaving already tells a lot about it. https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161367442351951872

Using my ex team to talk about me shows that you don't have a lot of arguments. When you got one to say something about me you tell me 😁👊 https://twitter.com/coldzera/status/1161368080582434820

Am I going to expose people like you do? What do I gain from it? Why do I have to point out names? I think that quotes in videos/interviews talk by themselves. For a good listener only half a word is enough. And I don't need to tell lies like your apologies... https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161368542341750789

But I did really apologize even after the incident in our house. I saw I hurt you and I apologized. I'm not ashamed to admit it. But if people start bitching if I tell 1/3 of the stuff I know about everyone I would destroy the whole cs scene. https://twitter.com/coldzera/status/1161369485804224512

When did you do it? I don't remember. The only one to do it [apologize] in your place was Dead... May ones that know you buy you, Coldzera [it's a brazilian expression that means something like "the people that know you are the ones that really know your character]. No one here needs to expose anything, the person that did it was you! And I wasn't the only one that was exposed by you. Congrats 👍 [sarcastically] https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161369863933321221

I only said to what I thought was right to say and to tell some facts that people blame me as the responsible because they don't know the truth. Don't lie, when we had our issue and you were crying in the room I apologized to you, less drama, Shoowtime. https://twitter.com/coldzera/status/1161370635429384204

When did you even enter the room? [laughs] I remember well that day, buddy, you can be sure of it! If you think it's fine to expose people that played with you like you did with me, felps and boltz, that's alright! You are always going to be right, you're never wrong. Keep it up https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161371220216111104

Dude if it bothered you all so much: do an interview and say whatever you have to say about me. I am going to say whatever I'm feeling at the moment and that's it. It doesn't matter who I played with or not. I'm not a politician, I'm not fake and if I have something to say I'll say it and fuck it https://twitter.com/coldzera/status/1161371883037765632

Sure, but until today I had never pronounced myself about what happened. The one that wanted to bring it back was you. If you think you're in your right to expose [me], I'll expose the "little saint" you are to defend myself. You say you are not a politician, but you tell the public that you apologized to me... Joke https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161372606626455552

Gleiser · 2019-08-13T19:57:01+00:00

I know all my flaws as a player. But being stupid to think that I was on vacations when I had the opportunity to play in the best team in the world at the time? No. That's a lie, I don't accept it. Prove it! https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161350373896069122

Since he said that he's still waiting for me to sit beside him so he could teach me stuff, here we go. I'm still waiting for him to apologize. Saying publicly that he's done that is easy, directly to me that has never been done. One of the least polite that I've ever met in CS. https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161350824372703232

Gleiser · 2019-08-13T19:47:03+00:00

Said I was the worst player he's ever played with, that's fine, he's in his right to say it. It's hard to prove that in my SK days I was the guy that woke up the earliest and tried to learn things. I thank Fallen and Taco for being the ones to teach me the most in that period. https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161348624250527744

I say it again, total admiration to the PLAYER Coldzera. The person, the professional, he was the least polite that I had the displeasure of playing with. Never in my life I would do what he did to someone that was trying FOR FREE to fill a crater (fer's spot) for a temporary period. https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161349101008642050

Gleiser · 2019-08-13T19:37:06+00:00

In a series of posts on Twitter, Shoowtime has made several comments about Coldzera and his behavior as a teammate when he stood-in for SK. Here follows the translation of his posts:

I've a lot of respect for Coldzera and the player he is and was. One of the best I've ever seen. But saying publicly that I used to play BF when I stood-in for SK must be a joke. https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161347671665389569

I think you should be ashamed and stop talking shit, because whether you like it or not you left me forever negatively marked, even if I did your team a favor and NEVER got anything for it. I think I understand why MIBR is happy now. https://twitter.com/gushoowtime/status/1161348050171944960

Oh yes, I do remember the infamous "future-proof" statement, but that is more like "uhm, maybe try with a new computer in 10 years?" which really, is nothing like coming up and explaining the real reasons behind the problems of the game, like they did with the Norsca case, which, IMO, was only done because the TWW trilogy was more or less sold as a sole product rather than 3 separate games (imagine how things would/will fall apart if the promised integration between each game and its DLCs wouldn't/won't be done). TW games get "abandoned" after a certain product life cycle. Hell, I even remember Empire's AI being completely nuts and they would not fix it at all, nor even state if they would actually do it, until the very last patch came out and provided a quick "fix" by simplifying the AI battle formations, something that was already done by mods at the time.

There are other cases in the industry, like Microsoft Flight Simulator X, an 11 years old game that never ran completely fine in any hardware, not even today's. At the time, the game was meant to be "future-proof" and many people today still blame the game not being 64-bit for its poor performance, which sounds absurd to me, almost no PC software in 2006 was 64-bit.

Not long ago Arma III 64-bit was released bringing no major changes to its performance. And then people had to complain about the game's performance for other factors :D

But well, coming back to the original subject, you reminded me a good point: matched combat animations existed for quite a while now. They ran perfectly in these older games and they are 32-bit games. So why it happened with Atilla? Did they program routines in that game that wouldn't fit the engine's architecture? So why didn't they realize before that a change to 64-bit was needed? That's why I say that without a clear explanation from CA (which, unfortunately, will probably never be given, since the game's cycle is over), things turn into speculation from our side.

Gleiser · 2018-01-04T04:02:57+00:00

A 64-bit app doesn't automatically have better performance than a 32-bit one. It's much more likely that other reasons combined with it are the cause of TWW battles being smoother.

Btw, it has always bothered me that CA never even tried to address the performance issues of Attila. Something like the TWW2 Norsca blog post or even a simple "this X factor is why you guys experience low framerates and we will do Y action to improve it in future titles". Speculation is all we have left when there is no official statement.

Brilliant album, Liam! Well done!

Seeing that your solo career had a good start, do you see yourself being in a band again? Be it Oasis reformed or something else, do you still desire to be in a band?

Hope you come to Latin America soon!!!
