CHANGES AND UPDATES

Demolitions and Bumping

Based on player feedback, we are making some improvements to Bump and Demolition detection. It is important to note that even with these fixes, Bumps and Demos will never be perfect in online play due to latency. However, after testing these changes with a variety...

Thanks for the post and kind words!

I mentioned this on the sub yesterday, but want to clarify a few things here related to yesterday's bans.

1. The bans yesterday did not display the words the player used that led to their ban. That is a bug that should be fixed as of today.
2. As evidenced by the bans issued yesterday, some racial slurs, sexual slurs, and language of similar weight are going to net you a game ban, bypassing chat bans altogether.

Thanks for posting about the URLs, investigating now.

My only issue here is that 72 hour GAME bans for a potential first offense is a little much, don't you think?

We disagree. We are going to be treating some language (like racial slurs, sexual slurs like f*****) this harshly moving forward, meaning punishment will go directly into Game Bans, bypassing chat penalties.

Meanwhile, some language (st, fk, similar) used across multiple matches will still lead to Chat Bans before a player escalates into Game Bans.

Hello! I can assure everyone here that we are not banning anyone from chat or from the game for the use of Quick Chats. One bug we are investigating right now, though, is why you aren't seeing what words or phrases caused the ban.

Happy to take a look if you can DM me your friend's Steam ID URL or platform name.

We've heard from several players who have Spectrum as an ISP, and we're investigating.

Replied!

Do you know your brother's ISP?

The fiber cut was definitely fixed, and this seems to be a different issue, investigating. Also, DMing you.

If Nick Jr. had a Batman show, this would be in it.

Finally, a serious offer!

Hi all, some news to share about US-East servers.

We talked with one of our server providers about seeing really high latency in some US-E matches yesterday, and they informed us that there was some sort of fiber line cut in the Northeast that had a pretty detrimental effect on routing. This affected latency between players and our servers in Virginia, which is why some US-E matches seemed fine, and others (in VA servers) saw massive latency spikes.

As of this morning, that fiber cut has been repaired. Routing should return to normal in US-E, and we'll be monitoring from here. Thanks, everyone!

Monster.
