New visual borders around the commander during placement and off-angle camera starts can disrupt early-game setup. Here is what causes these issues and how to fix them.
BAR introduced visible borders around your commander when choosing a starting position. These borders cannot be removed through in-game settings. The only workaround involves editing the game files directly, which voids some level of support if the edit causes downstream issues. The borders are a design choice intended to show valid placement zones, and the development team plans to refine or remove them in future updates. For now, work with the borders rather than against them.
Some players experience diagonal or off-center camera starts when loading into a match. The fix is quick: Alt-tab out of the game and back in. This resets the camera state to default orientation. The issue traces back to the camera not fully initializing before the first frame renders, which the Alt-tab sequence forces to recalculate.
When a match includes an unresponsive or problematic player, the team may need to force a vote. The command to initiate a vote kick is accessible through the in-game menu. The exact syntax depends on the game version, but the standard approach is to use the vote command followed by the player identifier. The vote requires majority agreement from remaining players to execute. Use this tool sparingly and only for genuinely disruptive behavior, as frequent vote kicking damages team morale more than the player you are removing.
These are quality-of-life irritations that have clean workarounds. Knowing the shortcuts before you need them saves frustration in the moment. A community that shares these fixes openly, like Creed of Champions, makes the game more accessible to everyone who encounters them for the first time.
[Crd] The first and only community I have seen that actually holds up to its values. I have honestly not had a single bad experience here.
