Quoting: meggermanI really liked Gnome Twitch, but it has been unstable for a good few months now and often crashes even though im running the latest versions.
Major patch is coming in version 4.0:

You can also try the different backends players GStreamer Cairo\OpenGL vs. GStreamer Clutter vs. MPV OpenGL.

Thanks for the heads up Liam.

Can't wait for the competitive matching making & ranking! You need a "Competitive Matchmaking Beta Pass" if you want in on the beta but it sounds like it will be a drop over an item you can pay for.

Here is a video showing off some of the new menu designs for match making:

The recent patch has also balanced the game for competitive a lot, hopefully we will see a more eSports-esc crowd on TF2.
