Cooldown for restarting the game?

[two straight ♥♥♥♥♥♥ kissing]

Basically, I had to restart the game because of performance issues (fix your potato, blah, blah. My pc isn't a potato, all of the apps started lagging because of windows updates), I got an update when re-entering the game and got a cooldown, because i couldn't re-connect, presuming it's because of the update. It's only 10 minutes, so it's calm, but is it really fair? My team even got a time-out so i could quickly restart the game,

Your pc your problem. The game don't care :)

if your windows was installed on a SSD not HDD drive you would manage to make it in time :P

You only have a limited time to reconnect and not get a cooldown. Making sure that your pc is not retarded and update while you are playing is something you have to make sure. Valve can't fix that.

It's already stated that once you press join you're agreeing to be committed to the match, whether it was a system restart or you're just ragequiting out of the match, past 5 minutes and it's an auto-abandon

Not to mention how you leaving the match most likely caused a handicap to your teammates as well

Your computer, your responsibility

[RugOp'81]

Your own fault. You allow windows to update automatically.

Pretty sure OP is talking about not being able to reconnect because of a CSGO update instead of Windows update

[two straight ♥♥♥♥♥♥ kissing]

Most of you seem to have misunderstood. My game version was newer than the competitive match was running on, so it wouldn't let me reconnect. It'd make me sit in the lobby for a minute and then time me out. The game is installed on an SSD, I can launch it and re-connect within 30 seconds normally. I mean, it is no big deal, Im not complaining, 10 minute cooldown is nothing, I'm just looking for opinions here.

This is it. Thank you. The windows update was what made me restart the game, but the game update was what didn't allow me to re-join.

Why ppl dont uninstall Windows update?

You can do It with regedit

Why did I receive a competitive cooldown?

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's competitive mode has a number of automated measures in place to ensure that every game is enjoyable for all players. A competitive cooldown may be issued for any of the following reasons:

1) New players can win two games a day until they have completed enough games to calibrate their skill group. Full calibration requires ten wins; this helps the game accurately calibrate skill levels across CS:GO

2) Abusing the kick system; kicking too many players or being kicked from too many games will result in a competitive cooldown

3) Abandoning games

4) Attacking teammates / teamkilling

5) AFKing or otherwise not participating in a game that you have joined

Note: A matchmaking cooldown will be issued regardless of whether or not an infraction was intentional. Explicit warnings are given to players before they commit an action that will result in a cooldown.


How long will my competitive cooldown last?

Competitive cooldowns in CS:GO have four levels. When an account receives a competitive cooldown, the cooldown level remains on the account for a one-week probationary period. Any additional cooldowns received during the one-week probationary period increases the amount of time players are restricted from matchmaking:

i) First cooldown (level 1) - lasts 30 minutes

ii) Second cooldown (level 2) - lasts 2 hours

iii) Third cooldown (level 3) - lasts 24 hours

iv) Fourth cooldown (level 4) - lasts 1 week

A week of clean play will reduce an account's cooldown level by one. An account whose cooldown level has been reduced to level 2 through clean play would receive a level 3 (24 hour) cooldown on their next infraction.

Please note that cooldown levels can exceed level 4. Players whose cooldown level exceeds level 4 will need an extended period of clean play to have their cooldown level reduce beneath level 3.

this is the best solution

a) don't go and play any games on steam if your computer is downloading and installing windows updates

only fools and silly people will go play multiplayer online games when they are downloading and installing windows updates

he says that the windows update happened automatically, booting him from the game. the game then started updating and since his games version was newer than when he first joined the server, he couldnt reconnect

[graystripe]

that is not a valid reason at all.

this is the fine print line

1) Note: A matchmaking cooldown will be issued regardless of whether or not an infraction was intentional. Explicit warnings are given to players before they commit an action that will result in a cooldown.

this is more than enough to show that whether it is intentional or accidentally, once you abandon a CS:GO competitive mode match, you will get a Cooldown ban.

p.s you break the rules, you must be punished. no one is above the law or the rules.

except he says it was a Windows update in the original post which is why everyone thought that's what he was talking about.

It isn't 5 minutes, its more like 10-15 minutes

the maximum time you get to reconnect is 5 mins

the time it takes for your computer to install updates after restarting computer and then log in to your windows account, open steam and log in to steam account then open CS:GO = 10 mins to 20 mins.

it exceeded the 5 mins time limit given to reconnect.
