Game automatically closed...not enough players joined

Post by JollyBird »

Playing turn-based(advanced mode) game-tables with min-max players to join; for example 2-4 or 2-3.

Yesterday a Gosu game-table closed before start; 2-4 to join; there were 2.
https://nl.boardgamearena.com/#!table?table=32708449
And today a Can't Stop game-table closed; 2-3 to join; there were 2.
https://nl.boardgamearena.com/#!table?table=32728307

When the minimum is reached I thought the game will start when there is no more time to join.
Is this not the case or has this been changed or is it a bug?

I have this problem also sometimes. It seems very hit-or-miss and depends on the game, but there is no documentation, and when I've asked about this in the past, no one seems to really understand how the system is supposed to work or why it's so variable.

What I do though is set an alarm on my phone to remind me to log in 23 hours after I open any given turn-based game, so that I can start it manually if it hasn't filled up yet.

This is definitively an issue.

We are going to make sure that if the minimum number of players at a table is reached, the game is started automatically instead of being closed.
