The Winter Beta server files are now available. We expect the client
beta files to follow in the near future. Of important note to admins:
Important Web Admin Note for Community Server Admins:
In light of some admins modifying the Web Admin’s kick and ban
functionality in an abusive manner, we have taken the temporary step
to disable the following functionality on the Web Admin tool to
prevent this behavior:
*
Players tab: in the select "Controls" removed options related to
ban or kick.
*
Session Bans tab: no IDs can be added now, only removed.
*
Banned Ids tab: no IDs can be added now, only removed.
*
IP Masks tab: no IPs can be added now, only removed.
*
Management Console tab: no commands related to "kick" or "kickban"
can be used now.
Manual kick and ban commands can still be conducted within the game
client and will be to access full servers via the following commands:
Admins can enter a game at full capacity adding the parameter
SpectatorOnly=1 when entering the game
Open <IP of the Server>?SpectatorOnly=1
We will be reassessing when to enable this functionality in the future
as we evaluate solutions to handle this issue on the matchmaking end
of the equation but for now we decided to implement this restriction
in order to provide a better overall experience for the players to
avoid experiencing automated kicks. Thank you for your patience and
understanding.
