question re: team games

Jump back to quoted post20 Feb 2021, 01:39 AMGbpirate

You'd need a 3rd party program to tell you their ranks, and even then it's not guaranteed.

I use CELO but there are one or two other popular ones out there.

It's better if you don't automatically leave because

1) finding a game can take a while
2) the arranged team you're up against could be really bad
3) there could be one or two random players in your 4v4 game that aren't part of the arranged team.

There won't be a separate ladder of arranged teams because the playerbase is so low so your solution for the time being ought to be

1) don't play the game
1.5) play with your own team
2) only play 1v1
3) only play against bots
4) be a dick and leave whenever you're against an arranged team

My own experience with MakoCELO has unfortunately added input lag. I would say manually as well if their profile are public, check if their teammate[s) is on their friends list,usually you can sort by "game playing"

Input lag? Can you expand on this?

I have heard some people complain about the original CELO creating lag. But I am not familiar with the code enough to venture a guess. But MakoCELO should not be causing lag. If it IS CAUSING lag, then the problem must be with talking to the Relic servers. That would explain the complaints about original CELO as well. Since both version now talk to the Relic servers.

Did MakoCELO cause lag issues before the 64-bit patch? It did not talk to the Relic servers before the patch.


Sorry

I don't mean to disparage your work as there's a lot of possible reasons, but trying to use MakoCELO was the only real variable I added.

I agree. I did not take it as bad information. To me ALL information is good information.

I am new to the type of coding that uses web calls. So I am not a pro in any sense of the word. And as I keep stating, I purposely left out web calls in MakoCELO to make it reliable. That is why I was asking if earlier versions had these issues.

Maybe Relic will fix their code (it would literally take 5 seconds to do) and we can get back to normal life

To put it in perspective, They just need to uncomment a couple lines and be done. I had to rewrite MakoCELO, then write a log system just like they are using in Coh2, and troubleshoot issues with it. So their lack of a 2 second fix has cost me personally days of coding, researching, and testing.

It almost feels like Relic does not care about their customers at all. Which is really sad.

Would a fix to this issue in-game be turning off MakoCELO after it grabs the ranks for you to see? Seems easy enough at the moment but annoying to have to restart with each game.

Until there's an option to silence chat, I'd rather be a dick and leave
