CONNECTED 2021 Tetris Effect World Championship Tournament Update

[h3]TE:C COMMUNITY SEASONAL TOURNAMENT STARTS! FINALS ON CTWC CHANNELS![/h3]

(Guest post by TE:C Seasonal Tournament organizer Chris Foryst)

With nearly 400 competitors divided into five categories and a staggering thirty-one brackets, the TE:C Seasonal Fall Tournament has now officially begun!

Players will now be tasked with contacting their opponents and arranging matches, which must either be streamed live or observed by one of our Referees. We’ve assembled a great team of trusted Refs who are eager to help out!

But what’s more, we’re proud to announce an amazing partnership with Enhance and CTWC that will take this TE:C tournament to the next level.

The concluding brackets of three categories will determine the final competitors of the inaugural CONNECTED Tetris Effect World Championship annual tournaments. Matches of Classic Score Attack (top 8), Zone Battle (top 8), and Triathlon (top 4) will be shown on the ClassicTetris Twitch channel as part of the 2021 Classic Tetris World Championship in November—the biggest Tetris competition in the world. And the action will be commentated by the man who brought the Boom back into Tetris himself: Chris Tang!

Dear Competitors,

If you are not on the Enhance Discord server, head on over: https://discord.gg/enhance
That’s where we’ll be arranging matches, providing results, and keeping everyone updated, so don’t delay.

Have fun, and good luck!

——–PATCH NOTES V1.2.3 ——–

[ALL] Implemented a general failsafe measure to prevent an issue where the game could stall when entering MULTIPLAYER for certain players. (We will be following up with users who reported this problem, but if you had this issue and it is now fixed, or it is still a problem, please submit a support ticket and let us know.)
[ALL] Updated matchmaking code to automatically retry when there is a session error upon joining the lobby. Due to this, joining or creating a room may take as long as 1 minute. (During times of severe network load, it’s still possible that session errors may occur.)
[ALL] Updated the matchmaking code to minimize the chances of session errors when transitioning to the match after both players hit Ready. (During times of severe network load it’s still possible that session timeouts may occur.)
[ALL] Fixed an issue where the controller would not vibrate when playing as a client in CONNECTED and CONNECTED VS.
[ALL] Fixed an issue in CONNECTED and CONNECTED VS where Tetriminos in certain areas were not appearing when the Unstable boss Blitz hit.
[ALL] In CONNECTED Multiplayer modes, Tetriminos pre-rotated by this boss’s “No Spin” Blitz now spawn at the same location as Tetriminos pre-rotated by Initial Rotation.
[PC VR] Fixed an issue where Valve Index controls couldn’t be re-bound in SteamVR.
[PC VR] Added Windows MR support (Beta). (Adjusted HP Reverb G2 controller binding.)
(In-game OPTIONS >CUSTOMIZE CONTROLS is not supported but you may change the binding from SteamVR)
[ALL] Added unique names for 23- and 24-line Zone clears. We’ll leave it to you to find those :)
[PC] In Multiplayer, in addition to using 1 + Arrow keys to emote, you can now also alternately use F2 + Arrow keys to emote.
[PCVR] Fixed an issue in CONNECTED VS where the player's camera shifted to an odd position when Continue was selected.
[PC] Fixed an issue where the game would not immediately recognize a second controller at startup in some configurations.

Other minor adjustments and bug fixes.


[All] MULTIPLAYERのメニューに遷移するときに、ロードに失敗して黒画面のまま進行しないことがある問題の対策。
[All] ランクマッチでマッチングルームに入るまでの間にセッションエラーになった場合に、自動でリトライをするように修正。これにより、セッションの作成/参加の判定に最長で約1分ほどかかる可能性があります。(非常に通信状況が悪い場合はセッションエラーがでることがあります。)
[All] Ready後にマッチに遷移せずセッションエラーが起こる問題の対策。（非常に通信状況が悪い場合タイムアウトによるセッションエラーがでることがあります。)
[All] コネクテッド、コネクテッドバトルをクライアントとしてプレイしたときに、コントローラーが振動しないことがある問題を修正。
[All] コネクテッド、コネクテッドバトルでUnstableが発動したときに、特定の位置にあるテトリミノが見えなくなっていた問題を修正。
[All] コネクテッド、コネクテッドバトルでNo Spinが発動した時の出現位置を、先行回転と同じになるように調整。
[PC VR] Valve Index でSteamVRで再バインドできなかった問題を修正。
[PC VR] Windows MRに対応 (Beta)。(HP Reverb G2の操作を調整しました。)
(OPTIONS>CUSTOMIZE CONTROLSには対応していませんが、SteamVRからバインドを変更することが可能です）
[All] ZONE23ライン消去と24ライン消去の演出を追加。
[PC] エモート用の固定キーにF2を追加。従来の1+矢印キー に加え、F2+矢印キーでもエモートが出せるようになりました。
[PCVR] コネクテッドバトルをコンティニューしたときに、プレイヤーのカメラ位置が変わることがある問題を修正。
[PC] PCが認識している2番目以降のコントローラーでゲームを開始できない問題を修正。
