FAQโ
Script notifications arrive in chat instead of as cards. Notification type is set to "Game chat". Select "Side card".
How do I find out that a script update has been released? Turn on the Updates notifications section. Outside a match the update is applied automatically; in a match โ after you leave it, or immediately with Auto reload on update on.
An "Auto reload" notification is always on screen. It is a reminder that Auto reload on update is on. Click the notification to turn it off.
