Has the boot rate count method changed? I count boots in the boat games list and I don’t count the same in the last 100 played as rate stated in profile and open games.

Maybe the game is considering ongoing games in the "last 100" and you are not, or vice versa? I haven't heard of any recent change regarding this.

It might last a few minutes until it has updated.

Also practice games count into your boot rate.

If you have been booted in one game multiple times ( if you can come back from AI and boot again ) It counts multiple times.

Does using auto commit count towards boot? I had something similar, no boots in last 100 games but I might have auto committed.

The count method must’ve changed a few months ago to include every time you become an AI and come back and finish the game. I noticed it occur on a game just yesterday where I went AI on turn time out and then took back control. Similar to what “Let’s Fight” states in their post.

@Dan. I dont think that makes a difference as you are not booted when it autocommits for you.

@Smack. As far as I know that has it always been. I think there have been stories of players with a bootrate >100% (more likely to happen on young accounts)

Smack1, you think the calculation method changed a few months ago?

Fixed the boot percentage displayed on profile. It now properly takes into account games where a player was booted multiple times, or a game where they were booted into an AI, or a game where they were booted but their team won.

hm.. ok. Probably it worked better when bootrate was counted on the total of games and it got broken when it was changed to check on the last 100 games only. And is now working properly again.

With the ladder refresh, auto commit counted as boot (until it quickly got fixed)

jk_3, that update is the reason. Thanks for the link.

Smack1, you didn't answer me.

Professional booting is the new meta

Ludeqrist, per the link to the updates made on Warzone in May that would explain the recent difference in how boots are counted. I used to be able to determine how many games to play to get my boot rate back down when it rose above 5%. I’d simply look at the past 100 games played and find the ones that showed I was booted off the game. If my boot rate was 5% I would find 5 games in the last 100 that stated I was booted out of the game. Now I have a boot rate in the teens and I only found just like 4 or 5 that stated I was booted off game. Based on the “bug fix” in may it explains that now when booted into AI and then come back to finish game by winning or surrendering that counts as a boot too and the past games history only shows the end state of surrendering or winning, not the boot to AI in the middle of the game.

Smack1, just to be absolutely clear, you think that the enumeration method changed a few months ago?

Ludeqrist, yes.

Seems like you think that the reckoning method changed a few months ago.
