Did the requirements for overwatch change? I recall that when I started with GO, you had to be DMG and having 100 wins and a few hundred hours playtime. I got 140 wins by now, about 600hrs playtime and I am Global, but still no overwatch. Could it be because I only play occasionally and even get unranked at times because of it?
It's 150 games now from what I'm being told. I think that might've changed about a year ago but not sure. The rank required is Gold Nova 1, not sure if that's always been like that.

How do investigators get selected?
Investigators are selected based on their CS:GO activity (competitive wins, account age, hours played, Skill Group, low report count, etc.) and, if applicable, prior Overwatch participation level and score (a function of their accuracy as an investigator). Community members who maintain both a high level of activity and high Overwatch scores will receive more cases to elect to participate in.
How do I become an investigator?
Currently, the best approach is to play lots of matches in our official Competitive Matchmaking. We are slowly adding players to the pool of investigators, and randomly pick them with consideration to their playtime and skill level. The goal is to invite as many skilled reviewers as possible.

Guess I never get overwatch xD

I seem to have never ending overwatch cases. I guess I have a fairly accurate overwatch score or something.

Has anyone got a proper solution for game [FILE]pak_..vpk errors?
Have been getting these ones again weekly since a few weeks. Verifying game solves this but it gives me a ban everytime since I can't reconnect in time.
Anyone knows how to avoid these errors?

I have them also on regular basis. From what i've gathered it can be your RAM, HDD, maybe even windows, although i'm not really convinced (because i get the same arror even after buying completely new pc).
"Best" way to deal with it is to either check files before you enter the game or check files, copy them from you cs folder onto desktop and when you get that error just paste them back into cs folder. Just remember to do that after every update.
Valve doesn't care about this problem and i haven't got a straight answer even after 5-6 tickets i wrote to them :/

Anyone knows how to remove the location text top left above the radar? I honestly don't know if I've always had it there, but I noticed it after changing around with some config scripts. Yet no matter how much I google I can't seem to find a way to remove it. I really don't need the game to tell me where I'm at, and its just taking up extra space on my screen.
And before anyone tries, no "hideradar" hides the entire radar, not just the text like many sites claim.
|
It's always been there, and if you haven't found a way then I'm willing to believe that there is no way to remove it.
To ease your sorrows though, it doesn't actually make a difference in terms of objective gameplay. Considering how little screen real estate people have with low resolutions and still play at high levels, the upper left corner isn't really valuable for its viewing space. So if you can start ignoring it again then you'll be fine.

This is a super long shot, and definitely not a "simple question", but I don't feel it's worth opening a seperate thread for.
Is anyone familiar with the process of exporting textures to .vtf files for upload? I can't get the transparency in my textures to work properly. It just shows up as white in the workbench. If I offset the texture a bit tho, the texture shows up transparent in the right places on the gun (but wrongplaces in the texture), so the alpha level must be working in some fashion. Been scratching my head with this for several hours now

Nvm, issue resolved..even though I have no idea how exactly. Think Valve might be treating alpha levels opposite of normal or something.

There's also a ton of guides on youtube you can watch when you're bored:
https://www.youtube.com/user/TheWarOwl/videos
For an example. He has quite a lot of them, and goes through short videos of other people playing to see what they could improve upon.

This guy has a ton of tutorial videos, as well as videos showing good smoke/nade spots on every popular map.

Advice is nice and all, but you need to be a certain level of understanding and skill to appreciate plain advice. Watching streams is the best or POV vods. You learn alot of little things. And just play. play alot of competitive, die to things, get owned, pre fired, wall banged, smoked off, pop flashed, flanked, caught by a lurker on rotate all that good stuff and just keep problem solving till you get better thats when you can ask your friend for advice on specific situations, not just stuff like
"how do I play long as CT on D2?" There is no real specific answer to that sort of question but specifics of situations you've experienced and how to tackle them playing long on D2 as Ct you can ask anyone here even and people will offer all sorts of great advice.
It might even be information overload and maybe the odd bad advice but that corrects itself quickly since we have alot of knowledgeable people here.
I think this is something more people should do because it helps stimulate forum activity and organic learning.

thanks for all the advice

I hear buying a lot of skins makes you better too.

I would also say that improving via DMing is itself a skill you need to learn. At first it's just about getting any kill you can, but the quality of the kills begins to matter, without proper thought put behind the training it is very very easy to develop bad habits. Overaggression and taking wide angles are among the most common results of too much brainless DMing.
There's also aim maps that are more focused on smaller cursor movement as well as peeking and prefiring and other misc body movements.
