Coming soon, stored skins in game, pause and veto fixes

A look at what’s next, skins in storage units you can play with, and fixes for the disconnect pause and the map veto.

New

  • NewComing soon: a new card on the homepage and a new Coming soon page showing upcoming events, new features and maps
  • NewSkins in a storage unit stay equipped and show in your matches. Equip them straight from the storage unit; the Loadout picker lists them too. Stored items still can’t be sold or traded until you take them out

Fixes

  • FixedThe automatic pause when a player disconnects now also works when someone times out or crashes
  • UpdatedThe disconnect pause no longer touches the round being played: the match pauses when the next round starts, for up to 60 seconds. If the player is back before then, there’s no pause
  • FixedThe map veto timer could hit 0 early on some PCs and look stuck. It now follows the server’s clock
  • UpdatedMap veto: once enough of your team has voted that the result can’t change, the ban goes through straight away. If time runs out, the most-voted map is banned even if someone didn’t vote
