Glitch engine, FPS. All engine updates will benefit Diabotical and future games

Hey everyone. The test tournament series is coming to a close over the next 2 months. Though a horrible name. It was a nice test for esports longevity, game modes, broadcasting and more.

After we have fulfilled our obligations to the test tournament series and the grassroots fund. We will continue to do esports with mojo as our esport manager, but with a focus on grassroots tournaments.

To the pro players who compete in the 3v3 circuit. To explain my decision here, since we have spoken of potentially continuing the circuit. I think it’s best we focus using available funds on improving Diabotical and achieving company goals.

To be as open as possible about the details behind this decision. The 3v3 circuit in 2021 if to be continued and matured as a product, would probably cost upwards of 400k USD. We have quite a clear plan for 2021 and 2022. Which involves regular Diabotical updates, but also releasing two new games. The projected budget we have (battle ...

For those that want to practice for tournaments, the tentative map list coming to the official pool is:

  • Skybreak
  • Bioplant
  • Kasbah
  • Monolith
  • Overgrowth
  • Amberfall
  • Raya

this is pending final licensing and polishing/art so maps are ultimately subject to change :\)

The tentative list was done by pro gamer votes. So if anyone is unhappy we would like to shift the blame to Phaze. Phaze was the only pro gamer who turned up to vote. though quite odd since he doesn't compete in duel. Thank you for your time.

I cannot see if the homedir thing works, because my Username is in greek and greek letters are not accepted in epic games. Any workaround to this ?

Greek characters seem to be the issue, for now the only I alternative I know of would be to use a folder that doesn't contain greek characters as your -home="folder location"

That's normal, do you have Diabotical installed in the same drive as your windows installation? If you paste this in the windows explorer address bar %appdata%/Diabotical do you get to a folder? Does it include a DownloadCache folder?If you don't have a folder there try going to the Epic Games Launcher settings-scroll down to diabotical-click additional launch commands-paste this with Username replaced with your windows username, and see if you can download maps

-home="C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Diabotical"

Which specific Windows 10 version? Can you try to see if -home="C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Diabotical" (replace Username with your username) works? The ideal solution would be to figure out why Diabotical isn't being allowed to create that folder in appdata because there can be problems when downloading custom maps while having your home folder set to a different one than appdata.

Is this still happening? If so what's your Epic Games username?

Are you on the administrator account on that windows installation?

What windows version are you on?

That suggestion is about going to the Epic Games Launcher settings-scroll down to diabotical-click additional launch commands-paste -home="C:\Users\Username\Documents\Diabotical" for example, but this is not the ideal solution at the moment.
