Status of JB

[Bagle]

Hi all,

Just checking in and wondering if there is any timeline or intention for JB coming back? As I have not seen any announcement or anything and its been like 3 weeks now

I unfortunately have cancelled my DS for the upcoming month as I only really had it for JB.
is a JB specific donation drive something that could be helpful?

Thanks you,
Bagle

From what I've gathered, the CS2 update really messed up the JB plugin. I've been lighting fires recently to see if we can get things moving the right way. I'm sure blank_dvth will have a response to you and our community soon. Sorry this has been going on.

As AndrewW mentioned, JB's currently down due to one of the recent CS updates having broken the JB plugin. Normally, this wouldn't take as long to resolve as it has, but with a recent shift up in the Tech Team and it being a particularly busy season for many of us, it's been slower moving. I do apologize for the delay and minimal communication in this regard. While there's no current timeframe, we hope to get it back up soon.

Glad to hear the intention is there! Thanks for the response. I know I speak for a lot of players when I say there’s a hole in our hearts that only JB can fill <3.

I think there is a possibility with TF2 jailbreak. Someone was joking the other day about it at the blackmesa event.

Nope, we used to be able to host it as an event, though im not sure if thats possible now.
If there is enough interest in it at some point, or CS2 JB ends up just getting screwed by valve, then maybe one day, but thats a big maybe.

Going to TF2 JB would likely eliminate 99% of the current JB player base. Source would be a better option.

We need to keep the JB players within CS. Don't let them near TF2. It's like League of Legends. We can't let it shutdown because then the player base could possibly escape elsewhere.

In all seriousness, unfortunate to see Valve updates doing significant game breaking again... they really want to nail the coffin shut on community servers, it often feels like. Hope it returns soon for those who like it.

dual edged sword, significant changes breaks unofficial apis like cs#, but also breaks cheats (sometimes, but theres a dream)

they aren't intentionally trying to harm community servers, but they are definitely taking the stance of not providing an api through the server and instead doing so through maps

I need my JB...

JB should be back online now. I haven't had the opportunity to do any detailed testing, so I can't say how buggy or crash prone it may be. For all intents and purposes, it should be considered to be in an unstable/experimental state (i.e. expect issues) until proven otherwise/fixed. If you encounter any of these issues, please create threads in the Bug Report section to track them. Thanks!
