Game Updates

Game updates are handled automatically. SkillGround Game Manager will launch and install patches, updates, and additional security content, whenever necessary, while players are choosing games in the game lobbies. It will also verify the status and integrity of the each game before every match to ensure that all players are using the same up-to-date versions, thereby guaranteeing a level playing field.


How to Set Player Preferences

To view your current preferences for each game, go to “My Profile” in the “My Account” section. You can also view game specific preferences by entering the game lobby of the game you wish to play, where a panel on the right side will display all such information.

To help other players understand your match preferences, you should enter the following:

  • The range of entry fees you are comfortable with
  • Game options (Choose a Race, Class, Car, Fighter, etc…)
  • Match preference – enter informative information such as favorite map or advanced option you prefer to play with.

Once you have made changes, make sure to click on the 'Save Preferences' button for changes to take effect. If you have changed preferences for more than one game, you will have to save each of them individually.
