If you would like you can perform an MTR by following these instructions https://www.i3d.net/services/global-network-services/my-ip-address/

Resolution changes only work with the Exclusive Fullscreen video mode (changing video mode and resolution require a game restart)

What are your computer specifications?

Weapons in TDM respawn every 15 seconds (weapons in Extinction which is played in the same maps as TDM, respawn every 5 seconds), note that there is a bug where items sometimes won't respawn at the beginning of a round if they were picked up in the previous round

Hijacking this to leave some quick notes, mainly on stability.

• Sorry that some very obvious bugs like that are still there from the last week, we spent most of the week working on a new game mode, implementing voip in our audio engine (we replaced FMOD with our custom audio engine between closed beta and the first stress test weekend, and our voip implementation hadn't been ported to this engine yet) and fixing some game-breaking issues, like lack of feedback in some scenarios. We'll fix this bug as soon as we can.

• 90% of the crashes we are receiving from reports are again on a 3rd party dependency, which during the week got updated to a new version (to get a fix for another issue), so we didn't have time to experience it internally and it surprised us today. I'll do what I can to get them to do a hotfix release before next weekend.

• There's another crash that stands for 5% of reports that usually happens during alt+tabbing that seems to involve some 3rd party software installed on the systems of the users with the issue. Figuring out details, but I'm trying a preemptive workaround for that in v243. (UPDATE: After a morning of reports it would seem the workaround worked as I haven't received any report for this since v243, I still would like to understand the issue as I may be breaking interaction with some class of tool that I've blocked and it may be something legitimate. Do let us know if you find that Diabotical stopped working with something that it was working with before.)

• There were 2 new unique crashes in our code seen during the evening that have been fixed in v242.

• Lastly, there's one crash in our code that accounts for the other 5% of reports that remains unfixed. It happens while loading the map and it involves memory corruption, which is sometimes hard to track down, but we are closing in on it by adding more information to each version.

• Next weekend should be fairly stable because we don't plan to update anything else, and we should also have more time to focus on some long-standing gameplay issues.

• Edit: Just noticed that in our patch notes we didn't mention that the crash involving using Fraps with Diabotical has been fixed (but not released yet). This was an issue in the Epic Store overlay and it was fixed by Epic very quickly. The fix will be available whenever they push the next version of the overlay.

Could you try

• Restarting the epic games launcher then try to start Diabotical
• Verify Diabotical (Library->3 dots button next to Diabotical) then try to start Diabotical
• Delete Diabotical.exe and Diabotical-launcher.exe then verify Diabotical then try to start Diabotical
• Restart your computer then try to start Diabotical

Like funcchy said, that is a Mask, go to settings-weapons and next to the crosshair editor click masks, then disable masks in the dropdown

It's not intentional, it's a bug that hasn't been fixed, projectiles are meant to open doors in the future

That death in the last round is not intended to count in the next round
