Penalty for cancelling comp search.

(Kroad) #1

Yep, you can get a 2 min penalty for cancelling a search before a match is found.
Pretty dumb stuff.

Aaand i just got a penalty because a game didn’t get accepted, but I had accepted it.

Same here waited in a queue for 20 mins with always one playing not accepting. I decided to cancel it, got banned for 2 minutes, re queue and told I am banned (3 hours) because I didnt accept a match?

it’s broken, this is a test to find this poop

(Kroad) #5

which is why i’m reporting it

(Nail) #6

maybe post in bugs.tech problems ?

I was able to play one match today. After the game I went to queue for another and im banned for a day now for failing to accept a match despite me only accepting and playing one match. This is beyond frustrating.

there goes half the testing phase

That sucks. I’ve only had 2 minute penalties thankfully.
Game should give a warning before you do an action that will give you a cooldown.

I feel like were in the minority when it comes to this problem/bug. I dont understand why I receive these cooldowns just trying to play the game. I have played a handful of games this beta period and I am consistently getting bans. I can’t figure out why I receive them, haven’t left a single match, always accept the match that pops up but yet I am banned. I kept getting disconnected during games but it let me right back in right away usually.

I havent been able to play long enough to pin point that issue though due to these constant bans that are increasing in duration every time I get them.

Thanks for all the feedback on this guys. We are reporting it to our devs.

I had a friend test some things and if you let the timer run out after a match ends and let the game bring you back to the main menu it seems to trigger this cooldown. Whereas if you press disconnect after the match this dosent seem to happen. Going to keep testing to see if this is the cause for sure.

Got disconnected. Then when I managed to relog, I DID in fact rejoin the match. Played for the 1 minute or so that was left. Then when the game finished and I pressed “Disconnect” on the results screen. Back at the home play screen, it said I had to wait 30 minutes to play again.

In no way, am I against this penalty system. It helps with rage quitters. When I go on like 20-0 streaks, opposing players tend to leave the room I’m in just cause I guess it makes it “un-fun” for them (fun for me lol) but because of this system not many are rage quitting. My only suggestion is you ensure that this system is capable of detecting internet disconnections and just blatant leaving.

Other than that, all is well.

(Boozy) #13

so you guys actually got into matches ? because I sat at “connecting to match” for 30 mins before I gave up on it and played something else

(CannibalHoliday) #14

Be prepared for “Rage Sitters” :stuck_out_tongue: They go to the bathroom or down to Taco Bell while the match completes.

afk players get kicked

My experience was being temp banned for cancelling a matchmaking search after getting stuck in a ‘waiting for x players to accept’ loop. I’d accept and then wait for players, then get knocked back to the accept stage. I gave up, cancelled and then got banned.

For some reason when i try to play now my crosshair points at the sky and constantly spins so i had to leave a game and now whenever i start dirtybomb I just get told a match is in progress i can either join or exit to desktop

edit: i managed to get back to tutorial mode and as i suspected it was my joystick but there is no reason it should be affecting the mouse in dirtybomb it doesn’t affect anything else.
