You can join RadicalX twich stream to communicate with other participants of the tournament. However it should be enough to just show up ingame at 2PM CEST.
Btw, the bracket will mix up once the tournament starts, so you will most likely face a different first opponent.
It is not about your settings, it is about the settings of the player who opens the booster.
So two different players who open a booster can have different settings (one announces his username and one doesn't) resulting in different messages for you.
Yes we are still in the stress test and there is still being worked on the server. We are still fixing bugs and working on new features like the new bfp system.
So thank you for reporting the bug.
You can change the resoltion in 'C:\Users\[user]\Documents\BattleForge\config.xml'. screenheight and screenwidth parameters, for example: screenheight="1080" screenwidth="1920".
We introduced quests to gain bfp (since you can't buy them) and added some other small improvements like filter options for decks. But the base gameplay like cards and such still work the same.
Updated the first post with all maps as a separate .pak file. I also added a PvE_ or PvP_ prefix to the maps that didnt have one. Also updated to the last version of some maps.
Currently there is a test server on which we test new features. On this server everyone has all cards so you could use it as your sandbox for now.
Instructions how to connect to the test server are on discord.
Actually that is not true anymore (since last patch), the server calculates the bfp gain/reserve each minute now during matches. Nevertheless thanks for proposing your own system, will look into it.
