Frequently asked questions

Playing online

Which address does the game connect to?: The PC game looks up ttllivepc.quazal.net and talks to it on UDP port 30125. A line in your hosts file sends that name to this server; nothing in the game needs to change.
Which ports do I need?: UDP 4659 on your side. Rounds are played directly between players, so the host needs it reachable (open it in the firewall, forward it on the router). Two copies on one PC need the second-instance executable, which uses 4660.
How do I make a private game?: Host a game and set Reserved Slots to Private, then invite players by name or from your friends list.
Can I keep my old account?: No. The original service and its accounts are gone. Create a new account from the game's login screen.
Is my password safe?: The game's 2006 login protocol can't be changed and is weak by today's standards. Use a password you don't use anywhere else.

How is the rating calculated?: Everyone starts at 1600. After each ranked round you're compared with every opponent by MVP score, chess-style (Elo): beating a higher-rated player earns more than beating a lower-rated one. Law Enforcement and Criminal ratings work the same way, per side.
What is the MVP score?: (kills − team kills) × 2 − deaths − suicides − civilian kills as Law Enforcement + apprehensions + tags × 2 + 5 × loot captures. The best score in a round is its MVP.
Which rounds count?: Ranked rounds that finish with at least two players. Every player's game reports the result and the server only counts it when the reports agree and follow the game's own rules. Rounds that look farmed (two accounts on one connection, the same pair over and over) are held until an admin reviews them.
What do the icons next to names mean?: The top ten players carry their rank ; everyone else gets stars by rating: one star from 1600, two from 1700, three from 1800, four from 2000, five from 2200 . The badge or gun shows the side a player has won more rounds on.
How does a clan's rating work?: It starts at 1600 and moves by one point with each member's ranked round: up when their rating goes up, down when it drops.

Each medal has six levels. Clan medals use the same steps multiplied by the number of members.

Medal	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Level 5	Level 6
Rounds	50	150	300	600	1,200	3,600
Wins	25	75	150	300	600	1,800
MVPs	5	15	30	60	120	360
Kills	100	300	600	1,200	2,400	7,200
Headshots	20	60	120	240	480	1,440
Non-lethal (apprehensions)	5	15	30	60	120	360
Melee kills	10	30	60	120	240	720

Weapon proficiency: Kills with a weapon ÷ (kills with it + deaths while holding it). Grenades are always carried, so they have no proficiency. The sniper figure includes pistol kills.
Efficiency and loyalty: Efficiency is kills ÷ (kills + deaths). Loyalty is the average number of hours played per day since the account was created.
