I was just in a pub and that wasn't there, it appears to only be in MM

.

how do i fix the clock?

However, i was just on a cp_badlands pub and for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round, the "ROUND X" dropdown sign appeared

ooh looks cool. Can anyone confirm if the 'healthbars/unitframes' up the top are for tournament mode also? Or is it only a 'beta' thing for matchmaking?

which file do we need to delete to use the default round timer? That's the only thing broken on my hud

stress test on

Seems like only MM

Maybe BO3 isnt final as I thought. Or maybe they will allow to choose format in the queue menu.

Stress Test #8 -- Worth The Wait!

Changes since stress test #7
Added in-game match status UI
-> When using "best of 3" format, displays each team's round win count
Added team status panels
-> For your team, shows class information, health, and respawn status
-> For the enemy team, shows alive or dead status
Match abandon system improvements (competitive-specific)
-> Low priority players are now matched into games more quickly than before, however they will only be allowed to play against other players that are also in the low-priority system.
-> When players abandon official matches, the matchmaking system will now adjust their penalty time and/or method based on their history of abandoning.
-> If too many games are abandoned, the player will be banned from official matchmaking (e.g. Competitive and Mann-Vs-Machine) for a period of time.
-> For players that have a history of abandoning games, normal behavior (i.e. playing games to completion) reduces the severity of future abandon penalties.
-> When clicking the "Start Search" button, players and parties with low-priority status or bans are now shown the expiration date and time of the penalty (in the case of parties, the largest penalty).
Player stats and medals will now display for players that disconnect after the game is over.
Fixed a case where the server would sometimes incorrectly print that a player had abandoned the game - usually after the game was successfully completed.
Fixed a case where a party leader would enter matchmaking while some of their party was still connected to the previous match server, and they would become incorrectly flagged as abandoned.

Will I crash using a custom HUD in this stress test? I assume so seeing as they added new files, but I'm fairly certain my tournament stuff is all default anyway (updated PV HUD)

Lmao my game crashed when joining and now I got a fuckin 5 hour cooldown on matchmaking

First broken demos now this, FML

That is actually so awesome and convenient.

is that tied to matchmaking in particular or mp_tournament 1?

I updated "my version" of ahud here

n0kk also updated the official version: https://github.com/n0kk/ahud
download this version instead, I was an idiot and broke the map timers

Game won't let anyone choose class, says it's safe to leave. We all leave and get marked as abandoning. Good.

fuck this, got disconnected for no reason and low prio. ty valve

Are more people crashing now then before? Almost every game I've joined someone dc's. Only played one game so far.

looks like the GC and API are down

up again

They disabled net_graph during matchmaking wtf

it's not bad at all.
just have to play with/against people with the same flag. and there's a bunch of them.

All valve servers are down, and I cannot connect to any third party servers either.

timelimit creates a feeling of helplessness and toxicity, I had this discussion with them, they're absolutely correct in thinking that.

it creates this feeling of knowing whether you can fit in a game or not, as well... and knowing the game won't last forever.

You know, this is one of the downsides of them (I assume) only getting direct input from a ridiculous small pool of players from 1 scene rather than including all scenes in the discussion, Europe has been using timelimit for as long as I can remember and it has worked out quite well for us I would say.

There has been plenty discussion before on this matter (ex 1, ex 2) with arguably the eu ruleset coming on top in terms of popularity both from a viewer and player perspective, not even mentioning the fact that the entire rest of the world uses the EU ruleset or a variant of it (I think Ozfortress actually introduced halftimes recently) but still, 4/5 scenes use or used the EU ruleset or a variant of it.

It has not been proved to create any feeling of toxicity or helplesness superior to the NA ruleset, otherwise I don't see any reason why the majority of the scenes in the rest of the world would stick to it. Is this the imperial system all over again?

the logic is if youre stuck in a 1 sided game for 20 minutes its not fun for anybody involved.

if youre stuck in a bo3 match and its completely one sided you can potentially lose in 2-3 minutes.

A close bo3 match could take upwards of 30 minutes if the teams were even and/or trying their hardest to hold last.

I mean I could argue with you but I don't really care either way, I personally don't think the bo3 system is 'worse' than a best of 20 minute system.

win quick, lose quick, play another game.

the mercy rules though. set a mercy of 3 or 4 or something.

Timelimits are great, they let you know the max time something should take and you can plan around it. Also having a timelimit allows you to have a higher amount of rounds instead of first to 2. Cause first to 5 with no timelimit sounds horrible.

There's a win limit difference of 5 in EU ruleset and pretty much anywhere else where its used so your point is moot
