Sometimes there's a long delay when hitting the button and the game actually closing. The longest I've seen it hang is 2 minutes. If I hit Esc during a map load to quit the game, I'm taken to the Quit screen, but it's frozen as in I can't bring down the console. And instead of the qlive logo, the background looks like r_showimages 1. I've noticed both issues over a year ago now.
okay lets think about it for a sec... first map in list is aerowalk, which will be automaticly selected when u close call vote window. i dont get it, why would that map be called to vote i just dont get it
You're missing the point. The point is that its a stupid GUI bug that probably takes five minutes to fix, yet id just ignores the issue, and this game just gets buggier and slower and more fucked up with every update.

i just solved the problem, and if ur not happy with that solution; re-select the map u want voted. what u are explaining isnt a problem, its just u who is being stubbern. would u be happier if the marker was at aerowalk instead of blood run (in the screenshot)? the "problem" u are explaining is as important as a typo in botchat, also something that would take 5 minutes to fix
Sure, I could type in my map votes in console, but if they are going to have this callvote menu, why the fuck shouldn't it be perfect? For fuck's sake id, just take five minutes to revise the code of this menu and fix this shit.
More importantly, the point is farther reaching than the callvote function. This is how id addresses every problem with this game. Just ignore it. Their attitude towards this game is, "Who gives a fuck?" Instead of doing some small patches that fix very minor, yet annoying issues such as this one, they just pile on bug after bug with each new update. And they wonder (maybe?) why this game is a business failure.

The website itself runs like shit too. Game has been down for lengthy periods multiple times in the last month. Routing seems to only get worse (which I realize isn't entirely on id).
Same here, ql freezes on firefox either with leave game or quit. Before the update none ql problems when exiting a server, now when I leave a game, I have to use ctrl alt del to stop it. Btw, the site is slow as well.
My theory, id messed up the latest ql update which created this leave bug, plus more ppl got interested to play ql due to the new maps, so the site cant handle that many players and is awfully slow.
so, the game has been dead competitively for a while now, the community is almost completely drained, and now the website/connectivity is deteriorating at a rapid pace
It happens to me 70% of the times. I freeze for about 10-20sec. It seems like there is a lower risk of the game getting freezed during the post-game results screen, but even there, it might happen.
