Hi Lamster/Karl,

We got an odd bug today following the new patch. If starting a new map, we were all issued negative scores:

These were the steps taken just prior to this.
Server: Official 3
Sequence:
TBD-MiddleGround
Vote taken to switch to TBD-Core during awards section
Core voted upon but map had already switched to TBD-Mayhem
Server then changed to TBD-Core

All players were issued -128 at start. The initial starting score may have been progressive - a player left and a bot was issued -90 starting kills however proggies entered a minute or 2 afterwards and he was at 0.

Wow now if that had factored into your ratio, that would just be harsh...

Very strange - thanks for the detailed report. Could you also send a bug report in-game (F1 -> reportBug) so I can cross-reference your logs against the server?

I'm confident that this didn't affect anyone's stats, definitely looks like a scoreboard synchronization bug.

This is where the bugs go, but the Explodet speed-thing isn't a bug, it's a realized part of the game. It belongs in the Suggestions subforum if it is a suggestion for a nerf.
