Do you mean changes to the interval time? It would probably happen in the next server patch. When is the next server patch? That depends on when the devs decide we have enough changes to make doing a patch worthwhile.

The patch last week implemented changes to make it easier for new players to get games and fixing the bug in the code that made people play against 600-800 rated players even if they were like 1200 ladder.

Ideally it creates higher quality matches as the system has a greater pool of potential matches rather than just the first one that immediately meets a threshold.

Hey mate, i'm just getting in to 1v1s quite recently, is there any news on when this 1v1 update thingy is coming? (i have litearlly no idea), like days weeks months etc?

Thanks a lot for your work!

That does sound cool

At the moment though i'm having such incredible difficulty finding 1v1's; searching at peak UK time and it's just saying endlessly searching for ranked 1v1 and when it does find one it goes to that connecting screen and just stays there. I did manage to find one game earlier but since then, nada. Been searching for a total of probably an hour this evening, do you think it's a bug on my end or is it just the launcher/server/whatever? Cheers

I totally don't understand that, why does it do that? Does it make it faster to get 1v1s or something? Cheers

-1 as it is completely unrelated to the "launcher" aka client.

hello corsair,old friendo,no-you're not alone,i am searching sometimes for 5-15 mins as well (i am 1.8k ladder) at peak times,and i rarely get games,i think there is a button for the notification about the search in downlord,and i am certain it still exists in the python one.

New Launcher Making it Slower to Find Ranked 1v1?

2019-09-24T19:44:26+02:00

Hi,

Since everyone's been made to use the new launcher, I don't know if it's just me but it seems to have made it take a lot longer to find 1v1's. I'm 700 or so rating so it used to be almost instant, but now I'm waiting 5-15 minutes at peak times. I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

I was thinking; the old bar on the launcher where it said someone is looking for a 1v1 just seemed a lot better than the current pop up spam, i think a lot of people might have it disabled because it was so irritating (i know i do). Is there any way to make it a bit more discreet while still being useful? Perhaps similar to the 1v1 notification thing on the old launcher?

Thanks a lot,
Corsair
