Why can I still do comp matchmaking?

[solaris32]

I just checked 5 minutes ago and the button is still there with the words beta. It let me go in and search for a game. I don't have a beta pass in my inventory.

Was it the stress test?

I can still access the button, but when I go to search games it shows 0 players. Are you guys able to still see the matchmaking button?

No the button was taken off on my screen but i was able to participate in the test. But the reason that it says 0 people is because the stress test is over.

Players with Community or Self-Made items have all been granted beta access.

Of course, there are very few players to match with when a stress test isn't running, but we're working on that part!

When you say self mad do you mean crafted or workshop items?

A community item is an item in the game created by a person from the tf2 community, and not a developer at valve

Community item (weapon), self-made item (hat, badge, whatever) or similiar and self-made map stamp or item have access. Basically items with light green quality are granted access and thus their owners. Items like this https://tf2b.com/tf2/item/ics/4255074332

Some people have been given community weapons in the past. I do not know the exact reasoning but valve stopped giving those out years ago. All i know is that the item creators and map makers used to get them instead of the items and map stamps they get now.

It can be also an item that is not created by the user, but it is granted for them. For example Kritzkast people have been given community item and TF2maps.net founder has community item, despite having 0 items created ingame.
