Don't automatically add players into existing lobbys when searching for games

Post by megmav »

I was just trying to play Oriflamme. It's in beta right now and lobbies take a bit to set up.

There's one person with a lobby currently open who is clearly AFK. When we get enough players to start a game, they don't accept the game starting and it times out every time. When I try to make a new lobby so I can hopefully get an actual game running, it forces me to join their lobby.

This seems like a somewhat frustrating oversight. There are many reasons why people might not want to join a lobby, even if it technically matches their specifications.

A lobby is a "place" where you can start or join game tables. So I guess you are refering to tables?

Automatic matchmaking can be problematic. So better go to Play now on top of the startpage and then choose Manual.
