The problem with dedis is not only on how poorly admins manage their population but also in the way they're configured, no map rotation, stupid time or score limits, unnecessary high player counts, all servers have 18 players when most maps can't handle that, the list goes on and on...

I am not saying you don't have a point here but everything you listed is possible with lobbies as well. And not all servers are configured like that.

With matchmaking you have at least the possibility of enjoying the vanilla game, so yeah from time to time a kid would ruin the lobby with stupid scripts but it's something that even happens on PS3 and 360, you just leave the lobby and get matched again

You can do the same with dedicated servers and blacklist them.

Note: That only works on PlutoIW5

Idaho said in When did people stop using common sense?:

That's one of the reasons I want matchmaking so badly, server admins can rarely be trusted to provide people with a proper game experience...

And then what? Kids with force host kicking you from lobbies instead? Its not like MM will magically solve the issue. With dedicated servers you can at least ignore the bad ones, with MM it can happen, that it will put you into the same lobby over and over again.

I mostly still have the same admins I have had 10 years ago due to the lack of decent to good applicants, I am not sure if its because our servers are less popular or because too much has changed during the years.

When did pc cod's go from wow you're nuts to wow ban this cheater

I would say pretty much at the same time when the shift happened from asking your local teen to fix your PC to asking your local teen's dad to fix your PC.

Deicide You could also just zip up the whole dump you have and share it with us, maybe there are a few nice additions or changes we don't know of yet.

I had the same issue, you have to start the client first then start the server on a different port then you can use the same folder for both.

Can? Yes. Will? No.

Also do you consider it cheating?

Although it does not hook the game it fullfills 100% of the criteria for cheating...

It might be a bit ugly but you could try to reset your settings and get rid of the stored token by deleting your config as described here https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/784/how-do-you-change-the-game-directory

Make sure you got the latest VC Redist installed.

There is no support from us for Windows 7.

@Vexbane A third option (which is the one I suggested you to use) is to use the built in restriction system of the game:

As discussed on discord it highly depends on what you do with your Windows 10 installation.
