No, it will be lame. - 2D (also 2.5D but its no different). - Boring campaign (because PB1 and PB2 campaigns were so). - Lag/Freezes (even in level editor). - No good maps (only stryde-sniper like ones). - Toxic snowflake community (like now). - Staff that will ban you even for a sneeze (*AAPCHHHUU...

I do feel like Star Defenders 3D is laggy due to voxel rendering. Besides that it would run much faster if it was just an arena-like shooter game. Reworking everything with a pixelated textures and 3D models was one of quite possible scenarios for this game if I ever had time to continue working on ...

Yes, lobby now shows matches from servers all around the world. You can see ping and location of a match at the right while in the lobby.

This is solved in PB2.5/3, not in PB2 though. Thing is - PB2 servers aren't aware of level logic being executed. In fact - by this point many PB2 maps do expect variables and any else level logic to be client-side rather than server-side.

PB2.5/3 does have keybinds settings. To be honest I don't even think all ~9 grenade kinds will be used at the same time or within same map. I do feel like there could even be a hard limit of 3 grenade kinds per player, then scrolling won't even be needed.

I kind of thinking about gamepad-only players too for PB2.5/3, at least for campaign/ranked multiplayer levels. It means having less keys and simplicity should be better. It doesn't mean that Custom maps will have restrictions as for which keys can be assigned to in-game trigger logic though. So far...

You can try running PB2 launcher in compatibility mode with Windows XP (SP 2) and administrative privileges.
Additionally, maybe disabling gore in settings could help.

I personally don't notice physics change, just game runs laggier in fullscreen to me.

To be honest game runs different for me now as well, though I really did nothing to PB2 servers or PB2 game itself.
It feels like operating system updates did cause that somehow (Windows 10 in my case).

Clipboard should work within same tab only. It means that after you copied something - you have to switch to proper map by pressing Open/Open Map button at the top.

Stickers can be requested for approval by right clicking and requesting approval from context menu. Right click in sticker browser basically, not after it was added to page. It is done through approval process, but it means these will be suitable as decorations for Custom Maps as well. For that case...

Generally, I'd personally approve DC logo. I don't know how it looks like though, if it would not suit game's style - I'd not approve it.

I don't see DC logo in recently rejected decorations so I can't tell for sure.

Probably fixed on GitHub version now.

Plazma Burst 2 uses just 1 CPU core to run and it does not use any GPU acceleration. Higher screen resolution might also affect performance negatively, as well as CPU that has higher total core performance compared to older CPU, but each single core might be not as fast (I can be wrong here though)....

Just added fly-by SFX for PB2.5/3 recently. Will also announce on Patreon in more details on what else was done in September.

Not always but for a while. It was mentioned in News on February 19, 2022.

There are few cases when warning or auto-mute can be issued after usage of these words. Basically if player uses them a lot or did use some more offensive words prior to their use. If some players wants to call some else player a lagger - it should be best to just switch to a server & match with...

Physics were not changed, but overall game performance was always a factor of how physics behave in PB2.

Try to move game from Desktop or any else system folder like Downloads to somewhere else?
Like D:\Games\Plazma Burst 2
Or C:\Games\Plazma Burst 2
Maybe that is an issue.

Does Ubuntu version work for you? It should be Debian version under the hood really.

I think at this point - we mostly lack people to implement such updates. Some ideas I like and they've been mentioned previously in conversations. Do tell me, how good of an idea is it to open source pb2 and make a team to implement updates made by the community? Bad because hacking and it is simpl...
