nothing new here.
lol...seriously?? this is why it is so hard for this community to move forward and grow. Everyone is just too immature and so closed minded that they can't actually believe that we are trying to do something good for the community. Everything always has to come back to how "Corrupt" the TPG Admins are when you don't even know anything about it? You have this mentality that "oh only they know how it works so they won't get caught" when in fact they don't even know how it works.
I have kept the Admins in the dark on this. Ask any of them. I've just used them to test the client and make sure it runs smoothly. They haven't even had the opportunity to see a report until yesterday...Even then, only 1 admin has seen a report thus far. They won't ever know how and when the client does it's thing. They will just see the reports.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways...
The reason I did not post about the client until Friday was because I didn't have the latest stable version until late Thursday. I have been testing this thing for a month now, and have add various people (not only admins) run the client and let me know how it performs on their PC. They NEVER saw any of the reports or knew anything about it. They just did what I asked and tested it. After I received the latest version on Thursday I got people random people together for a 12 man and almost everyone ran the client. Beas was the only one with an issue of having black bars but we weren't sure what the cause of that was. After the 12 man, everyone said the client ran smoothly and everything worked out fine..
It was then decided that we should release the latest version to the community and start using it and so it was released Friday morning. Yes we could have waited until Today to release it for the matches on 6/22/2014 and given more time for everyone to test it, but at the time, we were having no major issues with the client at the time and I felt that the client was extremely easy to run and I had faith that the community would be able to run it without a problem. Even then, only a handful of people would test the client before match day and a majority will wait until right before the match anyways..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So it turned out that the client doesn't like to use your launch options, but thankfully Dan posted an awesome quick fix for this problem so I didn't see a reason to hold off on using the client on Sunday. If Dan didn't post that and if there was no quick fix for the launch options, I would have told everyone to hold off on using it. This week, we will hopefully add a feature for "Launch Options" so all you have to do is copy and paste the launch options you have set in steam into the client and we will load them for you.
Even after those that had issues for one reason or another, they ALL got it working fine except for 4 people (and that is because they are on Windows XP which will also be fixed soon).
What does the client do:
I mentioned earlier that this client is very similar to CleanDoD..CleanDoD monitored your console, gathered your configs, took screen shots, monitored your processes and a few other things that I can’t remember off the top of my head.
No this is not a keylogger and it boggles my mind that anyone would ever believe flux..
I also said that it did more than what CleanDoD did..CleanDod was easy for users to get around and although it was a decent client, it had some security flaws. This client is better in making sure that people cannot get around the client without the client knowing and that is all I will say about that.
This client is a work in progress and will only get better with your feedback. I have already received a few suggestions on how to improve the client and will try to implement them if it’s possible.

I have been told that there are certain people spreading crap around how the game is dying and that when I took over TPG has been dying at a faster pace. The thing that really ticks me off is the part where they say that I have not done anything for this community. I didn’t listen to the entire vent recording of corey “JgNator” marko …but here is my reply:
This game is well over a decade old. Maybe…Just Maybe…the game is dying because it is so old.. and FYI, it has been dying well before I took over.
As far as me not doing anything for the community…that is a load of crap. I have personally spent my own time and money for this community and this game. I have paid for servers for the community to use since the beginning of 2011 (I have NFO invoices if you don’t believe me). Even today, I currently host 4 TPG servers so that teams without servers have somewhere to play, the XM server, the Champion server. In the past, 5 TPG CSGO servers and COUNTLESS servers for teams. My best guess is that I’ve spent close to $1500 since 2011 on servers alone for this community.
I created a web script to automatically record HLTV’s for all my servers + anyone that asks me to set up their server to auto record. I have always given people HLTV’s for all of my servers within a timely manner, never denying anyone an HLTV from my servers.
I volunteer my time to run TPG league and do my best to make sure it runs smoothly and honestly. Unlike how your friends have been caught with their pants down talking about how they protected your brother and others (I’ve been shown vent recordings of this too, it’s funny how you are in all of these vent recordings).
I have spent the last 1-2 months of my time and my own money trying to develop this client for the community. I am doing this FOR THE COMMUNITY.
So Corey, what have you done besides make movies for the community.. I mean, what have you done other than charge people for movies and have them still waiting years later?
(BTW, if you feel that I am personally going after you in all this, that is because I am..)

Everyone will always complain, no matter what I or anyone else does. But, I am honestly getting tired of all of the BS from things like this. You ALL take for granted all the time and effort that people actually spend to try and give EVERYONE a better experience. For example: The time the AC Admins put in to watch HUNDREDS of demos we receive. We ask you to time a demo before you submit it and you complain. Now think about that. You won’t time 1 demo, but you expect the TPG Admins that VOLUNTEER to run this league to watch ALL of these demos that get turned in but you can’t time 1 simple demo?
Those of you that call TPG Corrupt because your friend gets banned or for whatever reason. Is there any evidence that any of the current TPG Admins or myself did anything even close to being “Corrupt?” or are you just saying it so you can “look cool and fit in”.
Everyone constantly complains about EVERYTHING and RARELY do we get a “Thank you for doing this for the community,” or even a simple “Thank You.” The past few days I have received a few Thank you’s and I really do appreciate it. You are the reason why I continue to try and improve this community. You are the reason I try and bring life back into this game. But when people talk shit behind my back and then come talk to me and pretend to be my “friend,” it gets old.. and has, as you can see, pushed me to react this way.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you all feel the same way as corey “JgNator” marko then I will gladly step down, no problem. If not, I will continue to try and improve the experience for all of us and continue to improve the client with your feedback. Sorry for the long post and rant, but men was raging.
