First question is: Can i call a dispute because XRay froze my machine while playing as survivors out in the open where we lost a fair chunk of health...?
I dont feel that this match was a fair display of our teams skills because of me being dropped from the game several times, because of xray and another fault that i sorted out...

Also, TSW lost a member in the first round, but they were infected, and it didnt affect their score at all...

Final results, i have no idea, but they won...
I am not happy with the progression of this match...

The X-ray anti Cheat soft wear was rather buggy, it crashed my computer several times before the match when I was trying to test it out... Due to Creeping death crashing and freezing several times during the match I feel it kind of makes the match not an accurate portrayal of our skill levels.
Which in all honesty is a real shame.

Did it affect your score?

There are two things in this world that are infinite, the universe and human stupidity.

them dropping out..? no, we stood by in the house and waited for him to come back to the game...

When i recovered from crashing, i came back to 2 near incapped teammates, and my health kit was gone due to the bot using it...

Creeping Death, If you believe the game was unfair due to technical issue, call the dispute. Don't listen to ZPotch as he'll ultimatley lower your I.Q.

Ok now that I have traveled all the way home again, and its real late, i realise I have missed the official time to be able to lodge a dispute... This is what I get for having 4.5 hour job interviews in st Kilda, and living just over an hour away from Melbourne...

The only map i have issue with was the third map, when my game froze...
The point at which my game froze, I was standing out in the open, just after leaving the first tunnel in BH3...
The scores for this map were
v!x : 59
TSW: 1148

Final scores including this map is what was posted (3420-4183), but if we had played an uninterrupted round, the result could have been substantially different...
Final scores WITHOUT this round are
v!x: 3361
TSW: 2290

So, Im not saying remove this map from the scores, thats unreasonable, because TSW ran it well, and i admit i screwed up a fair bit as infected (at which point I had changed computers and didnt have an issue), I would just like an opportunity to replay our survivors run, because thats when XRay killed me...
As you can see, the final score has only 780 points difference, which is easily made up in the map that the issues were caused on...


I would like input from TSW and admins on this if possible...


And my reasoning for targeting XRay as the cause is simple: Before this match, XRay was NOT installed... there have been NO CHANGES to the systems hardware or software since the last L4D match was played on the system...
After installing XRay, L4D froze mid game 3 times, each time AFTER A FULL SYSTEM REBOOT...
And final note: the system i was playing on belongs to another v!x member, who has never had issues before, and whose system kicks the shit out of mine...

Just to let everyone know (I've only read the last post) -- The computer in use by Creeping Death during the first part of this match was mine.

I keep my computer in good condition, and I know that -nothing- beyond the install of X-ray has changed on my system in the last week. I have played Left4Dead and other --much-- more intensive games on this system during that time without a single issue.

--

Within five minutes of installing x-ray, Left4Dead was frozen, followed within moments by a blue-screen.

After restarting, The system lasted a short while before again locking up.

The third and final lock-up happened while I was preparing the second computer for Creeping to use on my network 'just in case'.

--

I have since removed this atrocious piece of software, and have played a number of intensive games (including left4dead) without a single problem.

X-Ray -is- at fault here. That much I can say with absolute certainty.

-- Grey.
