@tangentarine Hopefully I'll get some time this weekend to work on it!

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@tangentarine I've sadly been pretty busy this month. Basically, the issues are with the server, not the actual rating update code itself. Some updates broke the steam runtime on it and I need to figure out how to restore it to working order in order for it to pull data.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@MorganHeartland Yep, the server broke but I didn't have time to deal with it over easter.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@ivy_sly_ The actual thing being called is Delegate.Combine.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@ivy_sly_ I suspect it's because they were originally just there to work with event handling, delegates in general are highly tied to them.
If I'm not misremembering we had "typed" delegates before Action and Func were provided. Kinda like having record types without tuples.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@JuanitozWay This indicates high uncertainty about the outcome. If it's "80%?" then the function to determine odds is basically going "I dunno maybe 80%"
If one or both players have high deviation then the result is less certain

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@JuanitozWay The amount of points gained or lost also depends on your deviation.
You can play around with https://t.co/rVewAXOnow to get a feel for how it works.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@shiburizu I was actually looking for this feature a few weeks back to show how it works to some friends and was disappointed to see they didn't have it - glad it's implemented now.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@Rayane_ROR Whoops, yeah, haven't updated that one in a while!

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

Website's updated for the changes, go get that first elphelt spot in the leaderboard

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

ratingupdate is up on a new server now, hopefully it's relatively stable. People's ratings have decayed in the time it was down so you'll experience slightly larger swings but not by much.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@EvilMadii Yeah, halvnykterist

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

Site seems to have trouble pulling replays, going to miss some games until I get it working again.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@Ashi_Vrchat No, deviation only goes up over time. Playing games always decreases it since the system becomes more sure about how good you are.
Winning games against players your skill level or better is generally the best way to gain rating though.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@Ashi_Vrchat ±53 which you have is low, the system is very certain that you're at about the right rating and won't change it very much without good cause.
Your opponent is ±253 which means it basically has no idea how good they really are and playing against someone like that isn't much info.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@Ashi_Vrchat The amount of points you gain or lose depends on both your deviation (the ± number) as well as your opponent's. This naturally increases over time, since the game gets less certain about your skill if you don't play.

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

@DepizzoDominic Website was having stability issues yesterday and might have missed some games

[Felix Windström @sov_gott_games]

ratingupdate seems to be running fine now after a version bump, hope this patch helps with the online experience
