Where are the settings for speed prefrences?

Post by Cile »

I'm hoping someone can help me. I know at some point I had seen a screen where I was able to set "I prefer to play at this speed, I'm okay with playing at this speed, I never want to play at this speed" but for the life of me I cannot find it now.
I'm having difficulty finding an arena table for Evolution, so I want to set my table speed to "flexible" but I don't want that to mean "anything from 24 moves a day to 1 move every 2 days."

There it is! Even with your post I started looking in the wrong place again, the UI needs work as this is something that should be available in every screen where you join games.

Anyone know if there's a way to do this for Arena, or to see what game speeds are more popular / currently looking for players for Arena games?

If you set the first drop down to Arena, you can set the same speed preferences for Arena games (possibly only ones started from the Play Now interface, I don't think those settings carry over to game pages - which is possibly why they aren't shown there?). There's no way to tell what others are looking for though, apart from observing how quickly you find an opponent (and even then, it's just a guess).

That looks like what I'm looking for. Thank you for the help, I usually don't use the "play now" interface so I was unfamiliar with it.
