There has been a minor update to how Quakelive works, mainly changing the way stats are handled.
1. We've changed the way that we handle the reporting of people who switch teams and quit games. Couple aspects of this:
--We've removed the term DNF (Did Not Finish), and now refer to these as "Quits." If a player does not finish the match on a team, it is considered a Quit. If they do finish on a team (even if they've switched teams) they either get a win or loss depending on which team they finish on.
--Vital Stats - There are now two lines summarizing each player's position upon finishing. The first line shows their "Wins" and the second line shows their "Losses / Quits."
--Match Details - In the match details view, players who have switched teams or quit a match are summarized in the "Switched/Quit" row that can be expanded to view those individual players. If a player switched teams and finished the match on the opposite team, they will appear in the final roster of the team on which they finished, but also appear on their original team with a "switched" icon. Players who quit the match, will be grayed out and have the word "Quit" appear next to their name.
The goal with the above is to allow you to see as much information about players that purposefully quit matches to avoid a loss, while also making a loss and quit effectively the same thing. It should also help highlight players who switch teams (often to balance teams) and not punish them for doing so (i.e. by limiting the view of their stats).
2. Duel Detective - the number of other players using the Duel Detective will now show as part of that functionality.
3. Fixed an issue where improper parameters were being used when launching a Clan Arena practice/bot match.
4. Fixed the vertex lighting issue primarily affecting player skin visibility.
5. Added new game server locations in: Poland, Sweden, and China
Apart from these changes, the main new addition is that there are now highly anticipated local servers in
Poland (Warsaw),
Sweden (Stockholm) and
China (Hangzhou)! On top of that, id still has plenty of more profound changes in the works.
UPDATE New Euro locations: We are testing those locations with a new provider. It may take a few days to work through network peering issues and improve the connection quality.
