Has restarting the game helped at all?

Please refrain from necro-ing old threads. Whereas I can understand it could be frustrating to encounter a player that has been toxic to you in the past, please refer to our guidelines here on how to appropriately report players.

That definitely looks like cheating, you should refer to out guidelines on how to report players for cheating here.

Also please refer to our forum rules about naming and shaming. ... Read more

What would this look like? Like turning the option to be in voice chat on and off?

This game?
Any attempt to tab in or out results in me lookin at a black screen for about a full 30 seconds

This seems kinda strange - I just booted the game up myself to give it a shot and I can tab in and out with no problems. Is it the same across both API's?

I'm really excited to see where a thread specifically related to weapon use goes! We have a huge "operator rebalance" thread on steam that' been offering up a great idea of the communities sentiment onf ops as a whole, but we don't have a current weapon thread, this was a really great idea!

A couple questions that I have (and also to promote some conversation here)

For suppressors, in a sound oriented game, do you feel that suppressors should have some downside? i.e. a full damage Maverick silence poke with the AR-15 could get nasty. With the proposed changes, do you think it would be important to take the suppressor away from some ops?

By balancing the shotguns, I assume you want a less "High risk high reward" system? Essentially taking them from a "12 gauge" to a "20 gauge" area?

I think the slug option is definitely interesting but could get a little out of hand depending on how the balancing looks. Do you propose this is only... Read more

We announced it at the beginning of the year, and finally our very first ever Operator rework is here. Russian Defender Tachanka has proven to be a well-liked character in the community, but he came with a set of flaws we wanted to address and repair.

That�s why he has traded his beloved turret to create an all-new way of moving. We have given our trusty Operator a fresh spin through a new gadget, a new primary weapon as well as a new ability in a conscious effort to transform a popular personality into a force to be reckoned with. Don�t worry, Tachanka has kept his spirit, he just got brand-new toys to play with!

Have you tried getting in touch with Player Support to get more insight into this?

Hey Chrono, unfortunately I don't believe there's anything we can do to give you any ELO back in this particular situation.

I got up no problem, but had to jump off by hookah.

And just to be clear here, it automatically kicks you from rappel and back onto roof there? Also what was the keybind you were using for rappel?

Do you have any videos of this happening? Also what platform is it happening on?

According to this tweet looks like we are going down around 1:30, and will be back up around 2:00 EDT!

Hey Legends, It can definitely be super frustrating to be the target of a DDoS attack. Which platform is it that you're playing on?

The only thing im confused about is how long is he going to be on test servers? I wouldn't assume it'd be the normal 3-4 weeks that a new season is usually there for seeing as he's just one character. so yea, how long will he be there?

We haven't announced anything on when he will be coming, so there... Read more

An operator who has 2 drones who don't care about mute or mozzie traps.
An operator who can throw gadgets like wamai has on the walls and then it will reinforce them or someone who can reinforce the wall( when hibana breaks a wall then he can repair it. )

The camera point you make is interesting - In this idea would the cameras just make a stati... Read more

Greetings..
