What causes the mid-match pauses in OWL?
There was a very dubious pause on the last map in the Fusion vs Excelsior tonight, and I am just curious how these kinds of things happen. What causes these?
Bill Warnecke
The majority of pauses are related to cables and peripherals. Players move stuff around a lot to suit their preference and sometimes that goes wrong.
The stage has backup PCs ready to swap to if one failed. We also have a few local servers if there’s a server problem.
Cheers.
