ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
The benchmark test doesn’t prohibid people form causing massive lag/griefing.
In ranked games people have the yellow clock from dark age onwards, indicating that their pc is struggeling to run the game, and that the lag will show up for all participants of the game.
The game becomes unplayable at later stages.
This is because of multiple reasons, e.g.:
- It is possible to change mods and the video resolution, without having to rerun the benchmark test.
- The benchmark test is usually run with all other apps closed. When people later play, they use voip and their webbrowser. The benchmark does not have overhead to compensate for that.
