People quitting immediately as soon as I join then start another game

Post by pastelrosegarden »

Had this happen repeatedly on same game. I thought it was odd how they could react that fast. I tried again, they all quit.. and again..they all quit. Is it some setting they have on? It was a French game and I don’t speak French, but was willing to translate

No idea if this is what is going on, but people can queue up for multiple real time games. If that happens, as soon as a game starts, they get immediately pulled from any other game they were queued up for.

I've been in multiple situations where I may want to play a 4 player game, and I notice the same 2 opponents are at a 3 player AND a 4 player table waiting for others to join. I join the 4 player table, but before a 4th joins, someone joins the 3 player table, and then instantly my table is empty (except for me).

This seems to happens a lot with games that have a decent number of people looking for real time games.

If it is a language dependend game (like Just One), or the host of the table only wants players of a specific language (often in cooperative games), you are technically not allowed to games of a language which isn't in your profile.

Thank you both for raising that question and providing a useful explanation.
This happened to me as well, and I just couldn't see what the problem was.

Would be very useful to see any kind of restrictions in the lobby (or just not to see tables you aren't allowed to at all). Is there some kind of setting I haven't found yet?
