Frequently Asked Questions
- How can I play on the ladder?
-
Register an OpenRA account on the OpenRA Forum
and link it with your in-game player profile. This will allow you to
join the ladder game server lobbies (see The
essentials section). Every game you play on these servers will
automatically be recorded and your score adjusted on this website within
minutes.
-
What happens on disconnects?
-
You don't have to destroy all their structures to register a win.
Just leave the game, but do not surrender,
otherwise it will be registered as a loss for you.
- How do I get better at the game?
-
Read
Rampoina's OpenHV guide.
You may also want to join the OpenHV Discord or
Matrix server in the Play channel
or the IRC based lobby
and ask for a training match.
-
How do I face more players in my skill class?
-
Unfortunately, there is currently no automatic matchmaking
system and the community is probably still too small for a
balanced experience of such a system.
- When does the ladder reset?
-
You have a 2-months reset of the ladder (see the "This period"
button on most pages). The "All time" representation is
currently the persistent version of the ladder with all the
records.
- Where can I report abuse?
-
The ladder has no control over the accounts of players.
Contacting the OpenRA forum admins is probably your best bet.
If their account ends up being disabled, all their replays will
go away from this website, and the scores adjusted
automatically as if they never existed.
- How do I playback old replays?
-
You need the OpenHV release that was used to generate the replay.
